I truly know the feeling. I was laid off for the first time in my life last summer. I was unemployed for 3 months. We used up my severance pay and were about to have to sell our house and at least one car to make ends meet.
I truly gave it to god. I even fasted for the first time to show him that I am willing to sacrifice, even if only for a day or two, my most basic need of food for his glory. I really felt like this, coupled with the fact that for the first time I exhibited pure blind faith in him.
I sent out a few resumes, went on a few interviews and prayed. I did housework, yardwork, read and played (too much) Everquest while I waited for God's plan to work out. I also came to grips with the fact that his plan might not be what I wanted, and truly accepted that his will be done.
After all that I got the best job I've ever had. Praise be to God!
I hope God's plan for you is similar. I don't think God likes us to go backward in life too often, so he will present something to you in his time. I will pray for this even before I submit this post.
