I\u00b9m reaching out again to ask for prayers for my husband\u00b9s job situation.
\nHe got a job in another town last October, living away from home during the week. A couple of months ago he got an offer close to home, quit the job he had, then the job here fell through. It\u00b9s been tough. He interviewed last week and was certain he would have an offer, but it didn\u00b9t work out. He just feels adrift. Thankfully, I am working, but my company did a round of layoffs this week, so I\u00b9m anxious about that as well. <\/p>\nAll I can do is pray. It helps to know that others are praying for us as well. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer that he can find a good job at a living wage swiftly through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for this family! Amen.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
