Where are you?

God-

I struggle to find the words to pray. I am so aggrivated with what is happening in our world right now. Between car repairs, home repairs and Rodney struggling to find work, something has to give. Where are you? These are the times when I am supposed to feel your presence the most. These are the times when you are said to be carrying me through the storm. Instead, I feel like I am in the eye of the tornado and the only thing keeping me halfway sane is my husband.

Lord, we are semi-patiently waiting to hear back from Rodney's recent job interview. Even though it is part time, it would be welcomed change. He would probably make as much or more money than what he currently brings in -- plus, he would be working again. He wants so much to feel like he is contributing and to be able to save for things we need/want. I pray you will make a way... please stop the disappointments and make something happen for him. He even applied for a job with another insurance company -- so we are totally open to that opportunity as well. We just need a break... We need your intervention... We need a blessing...

Even though it's hard, I know I must continue to pray for help and ask you to bless us. I must keep believing that a praying wife truly can make a difference.

In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Time away...

God-

I was getting frustrated, so I had to take a few days off. I couldn't pray. I didn't have the words to say. My heart was growing tired and my mind growing more bitter about my husband's job situation. I still feel frustrated, but I am striving to hold onto my faith and truly believe you have a plan in all of this.

Lord, help me to see you. Help me to accept whatever comes our way, even when it is not what we've hoped and prayed for. Help us to know in our hearts that you love us and are ultimately looking our for our best interest. When we continue to pray without any results, it is SO hard to remember those things.

Thank you for all you've done. For all you're doing. For all you will do. I'm trying to stay positive and continue to be strong for my husband -- but some days, it's just really hard.

I continue to lift up my husband --- praying you will move a mountain and make a way for him to start working again. Give me encouragement, confidence and support as he waits for a long-awaited answer to this prayer.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
