I'm happy to have this forum to ask for prayers, because quite frankly, I don't know where else to turn for this.

For the last 3 or so years, my wife has been without a job (a few 90 day stints at a couple of horrible places though). I've been very blessed to have a job that pays me *just enough* to be able to cover the bills for us and our daughter, but over time and lately...it's been hard. Very hard.

The stress of work, and the stress of everyday life is having its effect on me. I'm starting to feel worn out. And even depressed. We are trying to sell our home and have another child but...our house is having problems selling as well. We are also having trouble conceiving a baby.

I feel like all this is crashing down on me. I'm the complete financial backbone for my family, and being the only income is seriously depressing me. Not being able to sell our home, stress at work, trying to have a baby....it's all seriously killing me.

I've prayed. I've cried out to God. I've even yelled at God. I'm seriously to the point where I sit in my car...trying to pray...and I'm at a loss for words because I've prayed SO much over it I feel like i'm just repeating myself.

I'm at my breaking point mentally. And its getting harder and harder to hide my tears from my family. I've told God that I don't want our house to sell or my wife to get pregnant until HE feels we are ready....

I desperately need prayers for my wife to find a job. I desperately need this burden off my shoulders before it crushes me and I spiral into a depression over it. I truly feel like God doesn't hear me anymore. Please...can I please get some prayer for my wife to land a job?

Thanks everyone....I really don't know who else to turn to but this great community on here....

I'm praying for you and your wife. So sorry you feel so down; God hears you though.

Remember God's phone number:
Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know

and Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own

from Psalm 34:
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

Lord please bless this dear man. Cause him to trust in you completly. Father we ask that he would find favor in his job, that increase would come and he would leave those care at the foot of the cross. Father we know you have perfect timming, please bless this family with a new baby according to your perfect plan for their lives. Let them know you will never leave them, that you love them and have plans to prosper them. Build their faith daily, give them hope, strength, Peace, Love and Joy. Let them rejoice in you. In Jesus mighty Name amen

Bless yer heart.....lifting you, your wife, and all the burdens in yer heart and yer wife's heart to our Abba.....may His grace sustain you as he continues to work all things out for your blessing....Father may it be so. Pour out Your grace on this dear one and his wife and on their household. Show him a glimpse of Your hand working, even as we speak, for his benefit. let him know that his weariness has not escaped Your eye or Your heart, and that You have not forgotten him, but are surely the God Who surely keeps His promise to grant the desires of his heart, and that You have saved every single tear in a bottle, and that the angst of his heart is not lost on You, but You are faithful, and will, in Your timing, pour out a blessing on him and his household that cannot be contained, but overflows onto others, blessing them as well, and that YOUR joy and peace will surely be his, and his household will not be a place of sorrow, but of joy and celebration. father may it be so,in the name of Jesus, amen.
