Just a little prayer

In 2008 when Mike first lost his job and we didnt know if we would be able to keep our home, I really thought I would lose it.  I had already thought up my reaction in my head and it wasnt good.  Then when it actually happened and we did lose our home, I was surprised that all I could think about were all of our blessings.  Everything that was really important in our lives was already in place and I knew that this was just a trial.  However, trials can really work your patience at times.  And ours is being tried.  Although Mike was able to find temporary work that we could get by on, he has not worked consistently for the past 3 weeks and this week he has not worked at all so far. 

Do you ever feel like you are going thru the refiners fire?  Well, that is how I feel these days.  The Lord loves us too much to not try our faith that we may have the opportunity to grow.  Lately all I can think about is what I am not doing and should be doing.  I have become increasingly aware of my faults and short comings.  Almost to the point that I hate to ask the Lord for anything.  But I know that "all these things shall give thee experience and shall be for our good".  I also know that "tribulations bring about patience and patience experience and experience hope", so today I have hope.  And so I am asking and hoping that today you will say a little prayer in our behalf  that Mike will find a good job soon...according to the Lord's will of course...his may be very different than ours.

Just a little prayer?
Thank you,
