One month ago I got laid off from my job. Our savings were already depleted from the last time that I was unemployed. My spouse is disabled, and I have kids attending private school.
In addition to updating my resume and applying to every job agency I could find, my family and I did something else.
WE PRAYED. We prayed, and we contributed to charity.
Thank G-D, He listened. A miracle happened. Within two weeks, I found another job IDENTICAL to the one that I got laid off from. All right, it is somewhat less pay than I was making before, but at least I am still in my field and working at something that I love. I consider that a blessing, and I feel very fortunate.

The most important thing that can be done when a person is unemployed is to use that opportunity to find GOD. Prayer and family support, as well as the support of friends is of up most importance. Stop blaming everyone and everything for the period of change that the person is going through. Just be there and use this opportunity to help him/her get closer to our maker. I am a big believer in PRAYER.
Also, this season is going to be different than the rest... spend much more time with friends and family. And, GO TO Church. Forget about all the Cathloic problems in the Boston area. God is God. Forget the problems of man and put your entire and whole trust in him. He'll take care of you. I believe it.
