Thank you. Unfortunately we don't have time or money for marriage counseling. I've tried to hear her concerns but it just turns into her putting me down for switching jobs even though I was trying to better myself and my family.

You have the time. As far as money goes, I get that, maybe you have a priest or someone from church you can talk to? I just think that this is really important and there are options available to you.

Maybe. She has not found Christ as I have. I found him again when I was out of work. So I don't have a church or priest yet. It will be really hard to go to church with a autistic toddler too. I want her to find Christ but honestly I don't think she is very open to it.

Hi, I'm a fairly new Christian. Even though I was raised Presbyterian, I back slid most of my adult life.

I recently took a new job because I thought it would be better for my family. I'm a truck driver so good jobs are hard to come by. I gave up a job that was really easy but was under new management and I thought I was going to be laid off or fired. I had lots of problems there in the past months and lots of other people left too. My schedule was kind of weird but I had 3 days off and made enough money to get by, although my hours were cut dramatically over the last year or so.

I ended up taking a job that is a lot different from anything else I've ever done it's a Monday through Friday job pretty much during normal business hours. I'll work crazy hours in the winter time but that's where I'll make the money I wasn't at my old job. The rest of the year I'll make about the same as my old job give or take a little. In trucking it's very hard to get something close to business hours.

Here's where the problem is, I have a 3 year old autistic boy. He had already been struggling because of the turmoil at my old job. I forgot to mention I was out of work the whole month of June and part of July for a minor injury, even though I was perfectly capable of doing my job. My doctor even said it was ok. Anyway, that's where my son started struggling. If anyone is familiar with autism they hate change. As I said, I thought normal hours would help his autistic symptoms but it made them worse than I ever could have imagined. I have 2 other kids. It has disrupted the whole household. He screams, cries kicks holes in walls all the time. It's unbearable. Mainly either when I get home or leave for work. It's getting to the point where if it gets much worse I may have to move out. We wouldn't be breaking up, it would just be so my other kids and fiance could have a more bearable life. I don't have anywhere to go and that's not what I want. If anyone reads this I'd appreciate a prayer.

I apologize for the long post. My question is though, I feel as though I've made the wrong decision by taking this job. I keep telling myself it's God's plan. I don't get it though. Is it possible for me to make a move like that and maybe it wasn't his plan and I screwed up? I've already tried to get my old job back after being at my new one only a week. My old job has been filled. So much for getting laid off. If I was going to be laid off by them, they wouldn't have replaced me.

We just got some for him last week. It is very mediocre. May need to try another. It's so expensive though.

Everything is God's plan, and I mean EVERYTHING!
There's an easy way to tell if some that happened is part of God's plan....it happened.

Sometimes in our eagerness to change our circumstances in our way and time, we don’t see how God is working in so many fronts all at the same time for His purpose. Surely, it can be painful and difficult to wait for the slow unfolding purpose of God in His time, but it can even be much more difficult and painful if we don’t. I do take heart as I’ve been reminded lately that even behind a frowning providence, God hides a smiling face.

For me, the Sovereignty of God is the most comforting doctrine in the Scripture. Although I may be prone to wander and prone to stumble, I know that God is overruling, that God is the one who is in charge of all, that God is reconciling all things to himself, that God is working ceaselessly and purposefully in all areas of my lives to weave out a beautiful and magnificent tapestry. I know that before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea. I know that God’s mercy is so great that he looks beyond my weaknesses and He finds purest gold in miry clay.

Yes, it's possible you screwed up. But, you thought things through and made a decision that made sense given what you knew. God doesn't sit back and sneer at the problems your decision to work at a new job has created. No, He cares about your situation, about you, and will walk you through the problems that you face. His desire is that you move through life dependent upon Him, leaning all the time on Him, trusting Him to carry you through. That's "easier" to do when we're in a circumstance we can't control, where we are forced by difficulty to trust God. It sounds like this is where you are at the moment. Don't fret. God always has your back, if you're one of His - even, and especially, when our choices put us on the hot seat.

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Did not God say to Sarah "what is to hard for the lord?". Could God not have seen already the choice you were going to make and plan ahead for that? If you feel your on the wrong path .. or the like.. just ask Him to put you back on it.. its that easy.

Stepping out.. have to..Nothing is to hard for your Father..thats is the only true GOD!.. will be praying for you your marriage and kids. No matter what MAN says.. ALL things are possible to them that believe. For I know He hears me when I pray. Its written if we know He hears us then we know we have the petitions/prayers we asked for. I know how hard it is to stand on your own and believe.. so I and others WILL hold you up.. stand with you.. job will work out.. so will the kids..what man told you will be forever.. will not. Let every man be a liar and God be true.

He will make a way where this is no way "I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19" "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

"Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Those verses are GODS words not mine. God can't lie.

in JESUS name!

Thank you, Blade that helped me feel better. I'm struggling so bad thinking I made the wrong choice.

God bless everyone who has been giving me advice. Please keep it coming. I did not think I would get so many responses. I have thanked God for all of you. I'm still struggling with all the problems I mentioned earlier. Plus struggling to learn my new job and I forgot to mention earlier really bad stress and anxiety. Please pray I get some sleep as well. I think that would help my situation.

Charles Kanyuga · Aug 20, 2019

The will of God is a matter of principle. The principle here is that you will need to give you child daily bread as well as meet his emotional need. If God gave you a field to labour from and provide meat to your child doubting whether it is his will or not may cause you to be depressed. May be what you may need is counsel on how to mange behaviour in children with autism at the same time work and bring bread home.

Matthew 6:25-33
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

I too have an autistic child. Change is very hard for them. Have you spoke to a counselor or a child psychologist that can help you help your son control his urges? I know it sounds impossible but with God all things are possible. Maybe once the new routine is understood by him it will be easier for him to function. Here is the thing God is with us all the time and remembering His promise of “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28; is vital! Keeping your family intact is God’s will. If you need a number to call and talk to a good counselor....here is one 855-382-5433. Praying for you and your family -Rachel

Thank you, Rachel. I will call that number. He used to be in occupational therapy. He stopped going because it got too expensive. Unfortunately it's all my fault for being in denial and not realizing he probably qualified for government help because of his disability. I'm trying to make it right.

I'm also not proud to say I probably wasted as much money as his therapy would have costed being gluttonous.

I watched testimonies where autism was cured instantly by faith healers. Have to find genuine healers though, lots of fakes out there. God makes us perfect and this rise of mental health issues is due to spiritual sickness/sins or generational curses, you need christians who were given those specific gifts of the spirit to help you. I don't know why you were led to that situation but God will use every opportunity to guide you if you take it. Sorry if this doesn't help much its just everytime i see a situation with mental health problems i know its not natural to us and can be cured through Jesus

gtfox26 · Aug 22, 2019

I've recently heard this about mental illness too. I'd be willing to try. Anyone you can point me in the direction of?
