Hello everyone. I really never ask for prayer requests, but I'm at my wits end with the situation that I and my husband seem to be in. My husband has had trouble finding a good
job and he is currently working third shift at a job he hates after being laid off from a pervious job, he is also dyslexic and that makes it difficult to find a good opportunity, and to top it off we live in a rural area where not many good job opportunities even exist.
I also have a job situation. I was working at job, that I really did not enjoy the job itself, but I had a great job environment, with great co-workers and wonderful supervisors. I recently found a job using my degree and decided to take that job instead. I prayed and prayed about the situation and felt like it was the right choice. Three days into the job and the person training me has been really impatient with me. He has snapped at me more than a few times already, and sighs really heavy when I ask him a question like it annoys him. To top this off I heard his wife telling him that they need to find someone who can do the job. He hasn't even gave me a chance to do anything. The last two employees only lasted two weeks and quit. I came home today and cried. I know I made a bad decision, but im trying so hard to trust God and I wish that came easy for me. I don't even want to go to work tomorrow and tomorrow will only be my fourth day. I'm worried and I want God to give me peace. I'm worried if we don't have a job and we live week to week what will become of us.

Hey ARHCC, I'll be sure to pray for you. I know how hard financial troubles can weigh on us - my husband and I are in a similar boat right now. Also, my husband works 3rd shift and I work 1st so I know that can be hard as well. I thought that God was calling my husband to change jobs, but every opportunity he's been given has fallen through so far. It's easy to lose hope in these situations, but we have to remember that God is in control. Perhaps this is a test to remind us to put our trust in Him and not in our own abilities. Remember, this too shall pass :)

Thank you for your comment! it’s very hard, and we have three children we have to support as well, and I do hope through all of this I learn to trust God more.

Well, don't be shy to come here for prayers! Multiple requests are not uncommon. You deserve prayers just as much as anyone else.

I pray you will be given insight and guidance from holy angels so that you and your husband both are gainfully employed and well provided for with good jobs where you are treated well.
