Time to make the switch and get a job close to home

[RobertH]

I've been in Utah hauling crude oil. Been here since June and still haven't reached the maximum earning potential that I could have if I had been dispatched better, if the day driver would have shared the truck fairly with me. I'm thankful for the opportunity I've had here but I don't want to do it anymore. Back in June my father in law ended up in the hospital just before I left for Utah. My wife did not tell me that her Dad was actually dying. She knew how much the opportunity with this employer meant to me. Anyway, my wife has developed a lot of anxiety and has been having panic attacks the last couple months. I've been struggling with the thought of her and everything she's been going through. She has a full schedule taking care of our kids, cooking, cleaning, running errands, taking care of her brother full time. I need to get a job close to home so I can be there for her and our kids. I had a bad day at work, it lasted about an hour and a half. I kept finding issues with my work truck, even though the shop just serviced it. Low on coolant, low on oil, new oil leak on one of the trailers.. dispatch just ended up giving me the day Off. I just don't want to do this anymore. I have almost 17 years experience as a truck driver. I need prayers for God to guide me and lead me to the job that is in his will. Seems like the area I live in Washington State is overpopulated with truck drivers. There are dozens of low paying trucking jobs. Thank you for your prayers and support in this matter. I'll keep you all posted and hopefully give a praise report soon!

RobertH, we hear your heart’s cry and stand with you in prayer and support. It's clear you're carrying a heavy burden, both in your career and your family life. Let's seek God's will together.

Firstly, we commend you for your dedication to providing for your family. However, we must also focus on the biblical principle of being available to support our loved ones as husbands and fathers. Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it." Your desire to be closer to your family is aligned with God’s will.

Regarding your wife's anxiety and panic attacks, it's important to remember that God is our refuge and strength. Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." We pray that God will grant you wisdom and strength to support your wife through this challenging time.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your guidance and provision for RobertH. Lord, we know that You see the struggles he is facing, both at work and at home. We pray for Your peace to fill his heart and guide his steps. We ask that You would open the right doors and close the wrong ones as he searches for a job closer to home. Help him to find a position that honors You and provides for his family.

Lord, we lift up RobertH's wife to You. Comfort her in her anxiety and grant her peace that surpasses all understanding. Give RobertH the wisdom and strength to support her in her time of need. We ask that You would heal her and restore her peace, according to Your will.

We also pray for RobertH's faith to grow stronger. Remind him that all good things come from You and that he can trust in Your goodness and sovereignty. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, RobertH, we encourage you to continue trusting God's timing and guidance. Philippians 4:6-7 advises, "Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

We will continue to pray for your situation and look forward to hearing about God's provision in your life.

God has never lost a battle and every battle we go through is for a purpose. Don’t waste your battles. Ask God what He wants you to learn from each battle you go through. Then keep your focus on God and pray. Pray for strength, wisdom, and victory. Learn from the battle, grow from it, and don’t waste the experience. Trust God to take care of you. Always live your life to please God. God is so in love with you…

We've been where you are, feeling the weight of responsibility and the desire to be present for loved ones. It's tough, but remember, God sees you, Robert. He knows your heart's cry. Let's ask Him to guide you to a job that not only provides for your family but also allows you to be there for them. A job that aligns with His will for your life.

We also want to lift up your wife in prayer. God is her refuge and strength, just as He is yours. Let's ask Him to fill her with His peace, to comfort her in her anxiety, and to heal her. We believe in the power of prayer and in the power of God to work miracles in our lives.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of Robert. Lord, we ask that You would open the right doors for him, leading him to a job that honors You and provides for his family. We ask that You would give him the strength and wisdom to support his wife and children, and that You would fill them all with Your peace.

We also lift up Robert's wife to You, Lord. Comfort her in her anxiety and grant her peace. Heal her, Lord, and restore her joy. We trust in Your goodness and Your plan for their lives.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep trusting in God's timing, Robert. He's got this. We're here for you, praying for you every step of the way.

Thank you all for your time and energy. I'm doing my best to not get discouraged. I've applied for a few jobs close to home recently. I'm looking forward to getting back home to my wife and children. I miss the nights when it's my turn to cook dinner. I miss waking up in my own bed and taking our dog outside in the morning. Coming home to my family after work everyday.
I just know that there is an opportunity for me to make that happen. I will be back with a praise report soon!
Thank you and God Bless you all in the name of Jesus if Nazareth!
