Re-Tool: Plan a Prayer Strategy for the Financial Upheaval

Good Morning, this is Miss Huldah and I write today's "Momlette" with a heavy heart for the families facing shattered dreams and fear of the unknown ..."this has been an unimaginable week in the financials." Writers and commentators in the monetary realm are running out of adjectives to describe the current crisis. It's a scary place to be. I'm compelled to write the same message over and over because I've been where you are and I know the anxiety. Consider this today: 

Could a revival be a positive upshot of the current economic meltdown? Could we be on the doorstep of  a restoration of basic realities such as Thankfulness and Gratitude? Is it possible that a Revival such as communities of people in specific prayer for recovery is about to happen?

As a society that has come off a roaring bull market, that boasted in what we've been able to consume, we're now roasting in debt. What happened? We now have an economy that has evaporated in a few months. There is a crying need to re-tool. What we need is an outpouring of prayer.

Karen Armstrong writes in her book of the history of God makes this observation, "many of us no longer have the sense that we are surrounded by the unseen" During the last two decades or so, the film industry has thrust the evil, the wicked and the depraved unseen world with enticing visuals and with great financial reward.
Robert Dunn writing in "Don't Just Stand There, Pray Something" says there are two reasons why prayer has a bad image. One is that some people dismiss prayer as a weak alternative to practical action. The second reason is the image of a praying monk on slabs of a cold, hard concrete floor. When was the last time you saw a first-run film showing a positive image of prayer for positive purposes?
In the movie classic, "It's a Wonderful Life", George, played by Jimmy Stewart, goes on a harangue when he realizes he is in a financial dilemma. The daughter asks, "Shall I pray for him? The little brother asks, "Me too?"

Financial loss is an emotionally draining and completely stressful event for the family. In my guidebook, written after another economy meltdown that caused three layoffs, I offers a "Family-Nurturing Communication Strategy" to your family. That was the only way our family came from wounded to Winner.

Is the bottom line that everyone is looking for be, "Men ought always pray and not faint" ? Jesus Christ speaking in Luke 18:1

Continuing in Him,

Miss Huldah
