My husband has been unemployed/underemployed for a year and a half now. We have eaten through our savings as he continues to job hunt, and after multiple interviews, still nothing. We are raising three kids 5 and under and the financial strain is unbearable. I am a stay at home mom. We have both been raised Christian and that is a big part of what drew us together. But this past year and a half has made both of us go through our own personal faith crisis.
For me personally, I have struggled with a lot of hard questions. Why God would allow this, why He isn't answering our prayers, was this all part of His plan, what are we supposed to be learning/getting out of this, etc. I have questioned the meaning of words like "love" and "good good Father." (If this is what love and good look like than I have had it wrong my whole life.)
We moved to a small town two years ago, believing it was God's will for us to move there. And now we are at risk of losing our home and moving in with his parents in the big city again. Nothing makes sense and I am struggling to find God in all this. Would so appreciate prayers. For renewed faith, for understanding, and for my husband to find a job very very soon.
