The Lord has thus far taken very good care of us and I am sure he has plan for us.
Jesus I Trust in Thee.
Prayer offered.
I was laid off 2/7/2014. I started again 4/6/2015.
Yes, there are a lot of jerks on this forum. But they are overwhelmingly outnumbered by genuinely decent people.
FWIW, I am in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Far from the hottest employment market in the country, but still better than average.
Try building a plan for self employment. Good luck!
What do you do and where are you? Are you willing to relocate to Maine if what you do is something we we are looking to hire?
Prayers.
prayers for you and your family.
FYI; I’ve been there, lost 3 career positions because I refused to compromise my ethics. I was devastated each time but always ended up with an even better position. Hang in there, God has a plan for you.
I could be in the same boat soon. Federal manpower study could take my job away. I should know by the end of the month, but prayers are up for you my friend.
Jesus, we trust in Your Divine Mercy, hear our prayers for our FRiend infool7, help his job search be fruitful.
Prayers for you and your family...I know how you feel - my job is over in 2 weeks - they outsourced our work to India.
Words are insufficient to describe the shock and subsequent emotions of losing a job, especially when you have a family to support. Traveled down that frightening road. Tonight, celebrate! Yes ... celebrate! Know that God has another plan for you. It takes total trust and committed prayer. It took me several months and lots of prayer while pursuing a new job search. Among the jobs to which I responded was a "blind ad" with only a PO Box address. They called me in for an interview, followed by a 2nd interview and then confirmation that I had been chosen. Not only was the salary considerably higher than the previous position, it came with more benefits and paid vacation time. It truly was the answer to my prayers!! Curious as to why I was selected over the other 40 candidates, they explained it was the result of experience gained at the previous position.
"Jesus, I trust in you!". Have added you to my daily prayer list. Have faith, don't worry and trust that God will guide you to where you belong.
Oh geez. I’m sorry. Prayers for speedy employment and better opportunities.
Prayers up, of course. This isn’t any fun at all, and I happen to know. Place your faith in God and work hard to be able to recognize it when He drops an opportunity into your lap. That will happen.
Prayer of agreement BUMP.
Happened to me twice. First time was the best thing ever - met my wife that I would have missed if I had been working.
Second time, not so great, but took early retirement.
Both times, it felt like a punch in the gut. Did not see it coming.
What type of work do you do and what big city are you near?
I might be able to help...

With that trust you’ll do fine. Just take it one day at a time. Each day that goes by is one day closer to your next job.
I’ve been through two layoffs in the Obama years. I’m the primary breadwinner too. We’ve come through OK.
I’ll include you in my morning prayers infool, lots of job related stuff in there every day.
I do totally feel you pain, and I wish you good luck in your search.
