Prayer Request - HELP

Hi - this is my first time posting to this site. My husband and I married and relocated to a new city. He has a wonderful job and career. I had to leave my job and career behind to relocate with him. I have been the supportive and loving wife that he needed to get on his feet with his new job. I have been unsuccessful at finding a job Sad

I feel that I am in limbo - like I have fallen off the face of the earth. While he is well on his way... I also feel very lost during these times. This is a very sad place for me right now - Please pray that God will guide me to the place he wants me to be. Bless you

Welcome, we are so happy to see you post here at GT Community.

I have lifted you up in prayer and asked God to lift your sadness and to open the doors for new work for you.

I once moved away from friends and family several years ago. It was hard to adjust.

Something that helped me was going and introducing myself to the neighbors. It's sad, but neighbors don't come to greet you anymore. I told them I'm new to the area and also looking for a job. One of them kept me in mind and I was hired at their company!

Have you been able to get connected at a new church? That helped me as I could serve there until I found a job.

It seems like we kind of lose our identity during these transition times with our husbands, doesn't it? But, God holds us close and we can find our worth in Him when it doesn't seem like we have found it in this world.

Oh my! My husband and I moved to a new state 2 years ago and it was so difficult. You just feel "rootless" and lost. I will keep you in my prayers. I know when you find a new job it will introduce you to new friends. Hang in there! The right job will come up. God provides for our needs. I didn't work for the first 6 months after our move. Then I started volunteering and substitute teaching. It got me into contact with a lot of people. That's how I found my current job-which I love! However, the transition time was excruciating. I'll pray that the doors of opportunity open wide for you. God bless.

Thank you for your beautiful words of encouragement. This situation has reached into my idenity for sure. I honestly did not realize how much my career and daily interation with people was a part of my own self worth. This is very painful indeed. I keep thinking that my husband will somehow love me less because my career has seem to come to an end.
I am trying to reach out - I am NOT one to ask for help. I know the power of prayer - please know that I appreciate your prayers so very much. Most of all - I want to do God's work. It is not my career anyway - it was by his guidance that we are here in this new city.
I am just very very lost right now - with several failed attempts at finding a job - I do not even want to show my face in public - my self esteem is at an all time low - and it hurts. I feel helpless and very alone.
