Everything and everyone in my life seems to be changing, and that makes me think that maybe it's not everything and everyone, maybe it's me. And now I'm thinking it's a little of both.
There's a verse in ecclesiastes that talks about seasons we go through in our lives, I read it all the time to remind me that Gods timing is perfect.
Ecclesiastes 3
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
Sometimes I feel like the seasons in my life are so inconsistent and confusing! Or the season passes by within the second... (kinda like winter in Arizona:P) It's hard to keep up, and sometimes I wish the seasons would slow down! But while all of this is hard, I know the Lord is using it for his prefect plan and in his perfect timing. So I know there is a reason for everything, I just have to trust the amazing, almighty God we serve!

So with the economy right now, everyone is struggling to keep their heads above water.
I started to do some studying on God providing for his children, not necessarily money, but what we need, no luxuries included.
These are some verses i found:
Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Luke 12:6-7 6
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Matthew 6:32-33
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that 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, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Ecclesiastes 7:14
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other
Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
2Kings 4:1-7 - this is a good story, read it sometime:P
All these verses remind me that God will get me through the day, and he will take care of me, so I dont have to worry about today or tomorrow! Its still hard for me though, not worrying and all... I just have to remind myself how small me and all my problems are, and how big God is!
Remember what a powerful, awesome, almighty God we serve! He will provide all of our needs!
