Open her eyes so that she doesn't miss the opportunites you are placing, and will continue to place in her life. Give her patience and grace as she waits on You. Give her each day what she needs for each day. And above all, please give her a job. Ashlee, I know exactly what you're feeling because I'm in almost the same place. But my faith has grown so much and my relationship with God has strengthened so much since I lost my job that I wouldn't trade this time for anything. I'll be praying for you, not only that you would get a job and get your life back, but that God would use this time to make you who He wants you to be. Keep trusting and keep holding on. He will provide! Father, encourage Ashlee’s heart, lift her spirit and protect her from despair.

Ashlee, I know exactly what you’re feeling because I’m in almost the same place. But my faith has grown so much and my relationship with God has strengthened so much since I lost my job that I wouldn’t trade this time for anything. I’ll be praying for you, not only that you would get a job and get your life back, but that God would use this time to make you who He wants you to be. Keep trusting and keep holding on. He will provide!

I've prayed it innumerable times as I've navigated unemployment and the uncertainty of "what's next". Every step I've taken in the last year & a half has been bathed in the prayer of "I believe that my desire to please you does in fact please you". That, to me, is the picture of faith in action.

Thank you for sharing! I lost my job last May and had to move home to Idaho and in with my parents in November. I'm feeling so lost and discouraged. Holding on to God's promises and trusting Him.

Haven't been to your blog in awhile since I've been on vacation. This post is right where I'm at right now. Every line of it. I've been seeing this girl who lives in MN. I've never felt about a girl the way I feel about her. I'm ready for this next step in my life. But also want to make sure I'm making the right decision. Changing jobs would obviously also be a part of this equation. Scary stuff... but exciting stuff too. Nobody every did anything great by sitting on their rear ends right?! Wow Los!
