Thank you all, and Riverkid in particular, thank you for your encouragement. While God might not have an employment office, I do believe in the power of prayer to help guide us where we need to go....

LuckyFokker- Sure God knows of my situation, I believe that when more people pray for a common goal, it's a stronger energy, that's all. So that's why I asked for help, and why I join in when someone else asks...

"What God offers is presence, hope, solidarity, meaning and love. May these help the two of you persevere"

I have prayed for you. Be strong and have faith.
I believe praying for one another strengthens us into a community of compassion and love. When we reach out to others in the spirit of christian charity, not only do we affirm their inherent human dignity, but we also reinforce our own. By doing good, we become good, and thus are a people of love formed.
God will not magic your husband a new job. But I pray that you recognize that He is there for the both of you during this difficult time, that He shares in this suffering, and that this suffering is meaningful. He never promised to take shield you from pain or to take them away, but He did say that He would bear them with you.
What God offers is presence, hope, solidarity, meaning and love. May these help the two of you persevere

I'm Sorry about that. However God does not hear sinners.Joh 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: Sin is transgression of the law. Keeping the sabbath is one of those. The sabbath is the seventh day not the first day. You will have a hard time locating anyone that God will hear. This nation is entering a depression. The depression will be far greater than the great depression of which I was born into. Within 12 to 18 months thousands of people will be out of work. Your husband should get any job that is out there and stock up on rice, beans, corn, and other grains. This depression is going to be a very long one. Several years. It requires about 750 pounds of the afore mentioned to feed a family of four, twice a day for one year.

Absolutely. And don't let those cruel individuals discourage you. The bible says in James 5:16 that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. In Matthew 18:19 we learn that if two agree on anything they ask here on earth, it would be done by our Father in heaven. As your husband seeks a new job, stand firm in the conviction that God will open doors.

Father, You are our all sufficient One, able to meet all our needs through our savior Jesus the Christ. I join with this sister and brother in the Lord asking that You reveal Your faithfulness to them in this time of need. Take this dry place and turn it into an oasis of plenty.
In the Name above all Names,
Amen

Done.
These things happen to people who are blessed. The Bible says so. Blessed men go through valleys of Baca ( weeping).
God will see you tthrough that valley. For Blessed men go from faith to faith.
Glory to God for the hope He gives us!
