God,
We are on vacation and enjoying our time away. But in the back of our minds, we are anxious about the news we'll receive for my husband when we return home. Will a job offer finally come? Will someone finally see the brilliance in him and extend a helping hand? Will he finally be able to regain his confidence that has been so lost since he has not been able to find work?
Lord, I pray for you to hear our prayers. I pray you will bless my husband in a big way. He has waited so long and I just want him to be happy and satisfied with his purpose again.
Thank you for loving us.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
My hubby and me

Thankful for good interviews
Lord-
Thank you for keeping us encouraged and helping us to know you are hearing our prayers. My husband had 2 great interviews in recent weeks and we are finally starting to believe that his job blessing is on the horizon. It has been a truly long wait - but I am hopeful that the wait will pay off in a big way.
Thank you for loving us - even more than we deserve - and for blessing us in so many ways.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Momentary lapse
Lord, it has been a hectic month, but I know that is no excuse to miss out on time with you. I try to find the words to pray. I try to find the time to devote to this blog. But I must do better. God, forgive me when I fail to spend time with you or give you the time you deserve. I desperately seek your blessings upon my husband and our marriage - but I know I must be faithful in prayer in order to make things happen.
Father, please provide motivation, focus and endurance for my husband to run this race. Help him feel confident in his abilities and positive about his chances of finding work through the finance agency. I know he can. You know he can. He needs to know that he can.
Lord, give me the words of encouragement and the arms of support for whatever he needs. Help me to be the woman and wife you intended me to be. I ask for your blessings upon our marriage as we continue to grow, change and go through this journey together.
Thank you for all you've done, all you're doing and all you will do.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

An accomplishment!
Lord, thank you for helping my husband to finish his certification on a high note. He has been working SO hard and I am SO very proud of him. Thank you for giving him a sense of accomplishment and allowing him to focus in times of burnout.
God, as this phase ends and a new one begins for my husband, I pray you will give him strength, endurance and perseverance to be successful. I pray he will seek you for guidance and will follow your lead as He begins to look for work again. Lord, I pray that this is the time. He has put in good work to get to this point... Now we wait on you... What is your will for him? What blessing awaits him just around the bend? God, let this be his time to shine.
Lord, bless my husband. Thank you for all you are doing and all you will do.

Be still...
"Be still and know that I am God..." ~Psalm 46:10
Lord, in all the times of uncertainty or when I simply want to control everything around me, I hear your voice within me say, "Be still". Perhaps, that has been your message for me as I pray for my husband to be blessed. "Be still and know that I am God". You are in control. You are faithful. You have a plan for him and a plan for us. I know these things in my heart, but sometimes, my head overrules my heart and I lose sight of your grand design. You place us exactly where we are supposed to be at precisely the right time. As sure as you did when you brought us together nine years ago. Sure, each of us prayed that we would be blessed with a life partner, but with so many prayers and not a lot of answers, it seemed as though you could not hear us. And, then, one day, when I was ready and when he was ready, you brought us together. Maybe, just maybe, you do the same things with jobs and children and everything else in our lives. Not our timing, but yours.
God, help me to remember your grace, love and mercy. Help me to stay encouraged and continue encouraging my husband as he goes back into job search mode. Lord, I pray this will be the right time for him. He is strong. He is brilliant. He is ready.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Still praying, still hoping...
God, thank you for all the things you do for us. You are loving. You are faithful. Even when my eyes cannot see your plan or understand why things happen the way they do, I must trust that YOU are in control. Thank you for encouraging my heart and helping me to find hope in you.
Lord, help me to focus on you. Help me to continue encouraging my husband, even when I, myself, am uncertain. Give us strength to endure and courage to take leaps of faith when life presents a crossroads.
God, I pray for my husband. He is weeks away from completing his certification and I pray that he will be able to secure a job thereafter. The firm he spoke with a couple weeks ago seems like they are willing to work with him to find a good position. Lord, let this be the blessing we have been waiting and praying for.
Thank you for loving us. Continue to guide our paths. Keep us healthy and strong. Help us to grow closer to each other and closer to you... in times of good and bad...

A glimmer of hope...
Last week, my husband had an interview with an accounting firm in hopes that they might be able to place him in an entry-level position. After a virtual interview, the firm advised him to finish up his accounting certification and then reach out when he is closer to completion so they can start looking for potential positions for him. Halleluyah! A glimmer of hope - and it is right on time!
God, thank you for this small, but promising glimmer. I pray my husband can continue to focus on the finish line of his certification and gain confidence to go into a finance role with this firm. While it may be temp or temp-to-hire at first, it will be worth it to see my husband feeling productive and happy again with the direction of his life. I pray you would instill confidence in the firm and help them to see the massive potential my husband has to represent them well.
I am thankful for all the ways you bless us. Thank you Lord - for all you're doing and all you will do. We will continue to look to you for direction and guidance as we try to maneuver this crazy journey.
Thank you for your love. Thank you for my husband. Thank you for this inkling that a blessing is right around the corner for him.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
