Help my husband to be successful and confident and at peace. He lost his job, found one, hated it and found another. We've sold a home and moved and then had to leave that one. It hasn't sold yet. He is making far less than he was. Yet he just got an unexpected raise. We are living in a dumpy apartment with our stuff in storage. I gave all our big stuff away. All this has caused me to be a big grouch. I try to be faithful to God and see the positives but I have really been blaming my husband and I have in little ways cut him down with my words. I am sorry. I want God to build him up and forgive me....and more than that ....help me to be encouraging. I keep comparing our situation to one particular person who seems to know just how to rub salt in my wounds. The past 2 years have seen our finances dwindle to almost nothing. Yet my friend travels and buys things and seems to have the attitude that God is blessing her and cursing us. I have a son getting married in 6 weeks and we have no place to entertain, no money for the clothing and a gift and the rehearsal dinner.Then there are birthdays and Christmas. I feel if I would of had a career then things would of been better. I have a job but not full time as I still have children at home. I feel like everything we worked for is gone. Yet with all of that, I want to put it aside and ask God to help my husband. I have discouraged his soul because of my worldly wants. I don't know if I can even BE better in my heart.
