Please pray for my husband. We've been trying to start a business in a foreign country. It has not gotten off the ground yet. My husband in the meantime has tried to get jobs, and waited for jobs he was told were his, only to never have them materialize. In the meantime, we've been barely getting by, and now have to rely on the goodness of relatives to get us back to the US. It's been totally devestating to my husband. He is emotionally drained, and was near suicide the other night. He needs prayer to help keep him going and get us on a plane. Thank you.
Father, In your grace and mercy, we agree together that you reach into this man's life and renew within the joy of your salvation. If he's not saved, we ask that this be the day of his salvation ... in Jesus' name and for His sake, Amen

My prayers are on the way. Hang in there, God will take care of you.
Tell him this.
Whenever I find myself beating my head against a wall, I am reminded to look up. There is a heavenly hand waiting to reach down and help me, if only I would let Him.
Dear Lord,
Please help this man turn to you for strength and guidance today and every day. Give him peace and a way to support his family. Remind him that all glory belongs to You and all good things come from You. Help this man and his family to pray for all the good things that You want for them.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
Read: Hebrews 2:9-18
We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses. —Hebrews 4:15
Bible In One Year: Psalms 110-112; 1 Corinthians 5
I once overheard this comment about a person who was always critical: "The trouble with him is that he's forgotten what it's like to be human!" How easily we forget our past struggles and become unsympathetic toward those who are struggling today. But there's one who hasn't forgotten what it's like to be human—Jesus.
In Hebrews 2:9-18, we "see" Jesus' humanity more fully. As a man, He was able by God's grace to experience death in our place. And during His earthly life Jesus was made perfect through His sufferings (v.10). But there's more. "Both [Jesus] who sanctifies and [we] who are being sanctified are all of one." Because of this oneness, Jesus is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters (v.11).
In a body like ours, Jesus lived, worked, and overcame every obstacle, so He knows what it's like to be one of us. Having passed through all these experiences without sinning, He then went to heaven and is now our approachable High Priest at the throne of grace (vv.17-18; 4:14-16).
We all need someone who knows what it's like to be human yet has limitless power to help us overcome our human weaknesses. Jesus is that one. He longs to hear us speak His name and ask for His help. —Joanie Yoder
You both have my prayers.
You have my prayers.
We'll be praying at our house. Keep the faith.
I will pray for you and your husband pops88.
Something to consider:
When I was out of a job (quite awhile back now) for 6 months, I worked at 4 temporary jobs and went to school at night. Have you and your husband contacted any temporary work agencies?
Do you go to church? If so, contact your pastor to see if he knows of anyone who in your church who is looking for an employee.
The Internet is a WONDERFUL search tool for employment.
Some good sites are:

May God bless your endeavors.
