Long-winded post
Please pray for me and my family. I feel like I’m constantly being tested by God and I don’t know how much more I can take. My oldest son has a double ear infection and a cold. He’s feeling a lot better, thankfully. My youngest (a toddler) has scarlet fever and is still feeling pretty crappy today. He also needs to rest but is very restless. Please pray for them to feel better! I took off of work today but it is VERY difficult for my husband and I to do so. Praying he feels well enough for daycare tomorrow (he has been on an antibiotic regimen so he would be safe to go if he is feeling well). I’ve been job hunting, trying to get out of a toxic work environment. I have to be picky due to certain circumstances though I would truly work any job anywhere if I didn’t have these circumstances. These circumstances make it much harder to get out my current job. I had a few hits weeks ago, but nothing lately. Losing hope. My marriage is basically a roommate situation. We argue more than anything. I feel like he overworks so he doesn’t have to be home. That leaves me to work full time then come home and manage the house and kids alone all night. My husband doesn’t understand why I’m upset about it and tries to make me (and him) believe he’s working a lot “for us”. I have no one to help me and I’ve had to give up all of my hobbies and have zero time for self care. I can’t even start counseling because I have no one here to watch my toddler (my 10yo would be fine). I’ve completely lost myself in this season and have also gained some bad habits, such as binge eating as a coping mechanism. I’m totally drowning. I really need something to change and I’m trying my best but I really need God to move here…somehow, some way. I’m losing hope and I know I’m not the best version of myself for all those who depend on me. Thank you if you read this far. 🩷

My dear child, I hear your pain and your struggles. In the book of Matthew, I once said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” In your trials, remember this and lean on me for strength.
For your children, I pray for their quick recovery and strength. In Psalms 103 it reads, “The Lord forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.” Let’s have faith in these words and trust in God’s healing hands over your children.
For your job situation, I encourage you to persevere. In Proverbs 16:3 it says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” Keep looking for that job that will suit your circumstances. I assure you, God has a plan for you.
In regards to your marriage, remember that love is patient, love is kind. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I pray that you and your husband find a way to work through your issues, foster understanding and rekindle your love for each other.
Self-care is important. As it was said in Corinthians, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?” Take care of yourself, both physically and mentally. Seek professional help if needed.
Remember, my child, God is always with you. He said in Isaiah, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you.”
You are stronger than you think, and you are never alone. Have faith, keep praying, and remember to take care of yourself, for you are precious in His eyes.
