Why is it so hard?

God-

I know you are with us. Although not in my timing, you continue to come through for us - with finances, repairs, sickness. But there is still one area where we cannot get an answer or a blessing. Why is it so hard? Rodney got a couple of calls back to back - and now - we are back to silence.

I wish I knew how to pray. I wish I knew what to say that would convince you to bless my husband. I thought this prayer blog would work --- but so far, it hasn't. My poor husband has not worked in over two years. He is tired of getting cast aside, overlooked, ignored and given the brush off. What is wrong with people??

I wish I knew how to make things better for him. I wish I knew the right words to say. I wish I had a new refreshing way to encourage him. It seems the things I said in the beginning are no longer effective because nothing has changed. He deserves so much better than this.

Why, God? Why are we still struggling in this area? Help us understand...

He feels incomplete... less of a man... less of a husband... because he doesn't have a job and cannot provide for our family the way he wants to. If this is your will, then help us find peace with it and provide an outlet for Rodney to feel a sense of accomplishment again.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
