I had a great job and then got laid off. I have looked for other jobs but nothing has come up and I am stuck with a real dead-end job while I look for another one. My gf left me too because she said I aint worth nothing. Why doesn't God allow me to find a job and why did my girl leave me? I tried calln her and she just went on saying she had found another bf and I am sorry out of luck. I don't get why God had this happen cause I was a hard worker and we were gonna get married and now I have nothing.

Paul, I am so terribly sorry that all that happened to you. It's hard to find the right words of encouragement. It's tricky to try and understand why God allows anything, except to say that it's "right". When I say that, I don't mean that it's right that you should lose you job or your lady, but I mean that for whatever reason, it was right that God should not interfere to prevent it. Sometimes it seems so hard! We know that God could stop all the pain if he wanted to, and he is supposed to love us, so why doesn't he? I don't know the specifics, but I know there's a good reason. I know with all my heart that God loves you. I know that He is good and all-powerful. Knowing that these things are true, you have to trust in Him and have faith. When it's all said and done, all we have is God and He will be there for us in the end, where there is no more pain and no more strife. We simply have to stay faithful to Him until then, no matter how hard it gets. I'll be praying for you, Paul. Please come back and let us know how things work out, and I hope you will not be too discouraged.

Amen to Mark Lang's comments. It is possible too that God has something better in store for you Paul or that the timing was not right. If you are meant to be together, it will happen. Otherwise, maybe there is another path you are to take.

The situation got worse right now cause she now is saying that she never wants me to talk to her again after I tried to E-mail her. Every time I seen her (cause I run into her a lot cause we leave pretty close to each other still), she is running the other way, you know? I am just gonna leave her alone but I can't find the energy to do anything without her. She was everything to me and I can't figure how God could do this when we had been so in love and I even had picked out the ring and now I lost my deposit on it too. I feel like I lost everything that I loved.

Not everything, Paul. God loves you, and will give you all the support you need if you will allow him to. You have not lost the love of God and never will, and you can find great comfort there if you seek it. He did not do this you, and though he did permit it in order that your girlfriend could be free to make her own choices, He is with you in your pain.

Hi Paul
Im just a new user here but thought id join and give a couple of words. I know how it feels to hurt, I pretty much lost my parents because of my faith. My dad doesnt even want to talk to me anymore and I cant even live at home. But Im not telling you this to pity myself or anything like that. I just want to say that through this all I came closer to God then I ever would have in my whole live if it wouldnt of happened. I go through valleys and mountains but believe me God is with me and turns those valleys and mountains into a flat. Its hard to understand at the time and i had alot of sleepless nights but I look back now its about 2 years now since i left home and i praise God for what he has done in my life. He never left me one time and I can say that with the truth because he promises us it in his word. Even though we some times cant see him or feel him its probably because we are not fully trusting him and want it our way instead of his way. And im not saying your not in his will but im just giving you what i have found to be true in my own life. All i can say is keep your head up and lay up your treasures in heaven not on earth. Because where we store our treasures is where our heart is and that should be in God. So I hope you find encouragement in this and I will be praying for you daily. Also I just ask that you keep praying for me I need all the prayer i can get. Thanks and God Bless.

Lee....

Thanks for those words of encouragement it does help me. I will pray for you because it would be so hard, so really hard to be not able to live at home or talk to your parents. What you said was right about bein able to understand things later. I'm tryin to see things diffrently because I don't wanna wallow in my situation you know? I want to get through it and find something better. I wanna beleive that it can happen and that things happen for good reasons even if we don't like it at the time, yeah I am thinking it can bring us closer to God.

I will pray right now for you and thanks for the words to me.

My husband joined this company in egypt and hated it from the start ,the salary was good but the people were very bad.His boss had 2 nephews who were giving him a very hard time and the office politics was something he had never come across.Wilbur had joined as the head of the unit and had no support at all.I remember when i called him from India the day he arrived in egypt to see how he was doing and he told me he wanted to come back.We had no money then and for that reason he stayed,I started praying really hard for him and slowely the boss realised what a hard working and honest person Wil was and then he was like a rock to wil giving him his full support.Its been 2 years now and the company under Wil has grown in in a successful unit.
These 2 nephews have been cheating Wils boss for a very long time and he finally found out through one of the other staff who they thrown out of the company.They play with peoples life and will stoop to the worst.Now the boss who is posted in Dubai came to Egypt to settle all this .He arrived on Friday and came to the unit Wil is in on saturday.He told Wil don't worry i will settle all this and then he looked at wil and said 'if you can't trust your own family who can you trust' showing wil his hands he asked which hand to trust.
The next morning he had a stroke and died and Wil can't get over it he's shattered he loved him like a father.The sad thing is these crooks have got away and have the company in they hands.His brother has taken over and they sacked both Wils assistances for no reason at all.they refused Wils resignation as they need him now but we know sooner or later we will have to go.What i'm so worried is my children education as my son is in school grade 11 and daughter in univercity.And we were happy here now and the salary was good and now we will have to back to india if he looses this job.We scared and insecure and i just hope that the new management know the truth about these nephews............this is a circle for us we were in kenya earlier and excatly 2 years and 3 month into the job management changed and Wil lost his job we had to pull the kids out of school and 2 yrs 3 month into this job the same thing has happened again........he's still not lost his job but things are bad and i'm worring so much..........Please pray for us...thank you and God Bless.......Gillian

Yes, Amen to Marklang's reply.
I would like to add, look out your window.
See any birds? The Lord feeds and cares for them.
You mean even more to Him. No matter what happens
in life, trust God, pray, and rejoice. God's will is the best
for us all. God can be trusted! I am also going through many
trials and struggles right now. (It seems like it all happened
at once!) Yet I know God. I know He is my hope and my help.
On my kitchen wall I have a great reminder. It is an old man
sitting at the table with his Bible. He has his hands folded and head bowed, to give thanks for his bread and soup. On the bottom it reads: "IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS."
(My daughter lost her job, my husband needed breaks and work done on his truck almost 800 dollars,my car and my daughters needs tires, my daughters car something electrical just went. The steering, ETC.
All this happened in the past two days!) Yet there is God and I thank Him for Everything! He has a purpose for it all, I know He does!
God is Good! We need Him all the time!!!! Praise the Lord!
May He please bless each one of you here. Give Him all your cares and concerns! He loves you! So do I!
