Is there ever a 'break even' point?

I am a firm believer that God allows trials and troubles to come along. I am not going to profess that I know all of the reasons He might do this, but I do know that it is ultimately allowed (i.e. Job), and used by Him for His glory (Romans 8). I guess what I am trying to say is that when I have been in financial need money seems to appear out of 'nowhere', but never enough to really get me over that hump. By God's grace I (by that I mean my family) do not live paycheck to paycheck, and we have never not paid a credit card off in full at the end of the month. Well, I need to cut this short for now...
