Am I allowed to post another prayer request? I am not sure, I couldn't find any info, so please someone let me know. I don't want people to think I am asking too much!!
Anyway, I posted last week about my husbands job and our financial worried. We did receive part of the money owed to us (which is great) I have been fasting and praying for the other half to come in
Our financial situation continues to be bad, it just seems that the bills are all coming in at once. We haven't managed to put aside any money to cover them. I find that I am praying for God to provide even the simple things. (like a loaf of bread and a carton of milk because I am scared that the money won't be there for it)
We have been in this situation before, and God has brought us through it, but I am still so scared.
My MIL is a Christian counsellor and I would love to talk to her, but she can't fight the urge to counsel, I know all the platitudes, I just want an ear!
The problem I am finding is that my husband is becoming withdrawn when I need him the most. I want to pray with him and seek God together, but he just gets angry with me and we have an argument. I am trying so hard to be a good wife and mum. I need God's strength and provision. I am asking for a miracle to boost my faith. I have heard stories (even from my own MIL) about finding food on the door step or a cheque in the mail. Never experienced it myself, but I just need some sign that everything is gonna be alright.

My guess is that is why your husband is withdrawing from you, it is because of the worry he is feeling. Some people, as you have stated about yourself, find comfort and support in being around others, while other people tend to withdraw and need to be by theirselves when they are worried. Praying that this will be resolved soon!
I'm sorry your family is going through this. It must be even tougher that your husband is shutting down. I don't want to dispense advice but sometimes I think the best encouragement a guy can get is just a hug from his girl.
