Joanna speaks….
I’ve just quit my job. It seems as if I’ve been in the company for a few years when it’s been only 3 months. I’ve learnt a lot of leadership and management stuff in this company.

The amazing thing is how God never seems to stop paving my future for me. Many things I many not understand, like why my shop closed, or why I’ve to be in this company and then quit and join another company, but He has shown me that I never need to worry bout what I’ll do next. Cos when it’s time to move on, job opportunities just suddenly seem to run to you.

Many of my colleagues have quit, some earlier den me, one the same time with me. But with the grace of God, I’ve gotten a job so much faster then they have. With such little qualifications, it may seem impossible to get a good job, but God always open doors! So..continue to trust in Him, cos God never fails us! J


p/s: I’m sure God has been good to you too, so.. SEND your praise reports to Joanna@book-cave.com

Prayer Pointers
1.Self-discipline in terms of delayed gratification

Many young people want instant and immediate results, answers and gratification. Their mentality might be 'play now, suffer later', or 'who cares? I’m living for myself', etc.

Pray that they will be disciplined to set aside time for God first, rather than for themselves. They will also be disciplined when it comes to revising for their exams or doing work. They will focus on doing what is right, e.g. by studying instead of playing computer games.

Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
Titus 1:8
2. Trust that God will look after us. Thank Him for meeting our needs.

Don't take God for granted. Thank Him for providing and sheltering us.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
Luke 12:22-31
