Navigating Job Search Challenges

It’s been a really tough few months for me, and I could use some prayer. I lost my job in late July, so it's been over two months of searching, sending out resumes, and preparing for interviews. I have a really good one coming up this Tuesday, and honestly, I’m feeling all kinds of nerves. It feels like so much is riding on this opportunity, not just for me but for my family too. The stress has been hard — I’m juggling the uncertainty of finances while trying to keep my spirits up for my kids. I’ve got about $2,000 left in savings to get through until next month and the thought of what happens after that is overwhelming. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm even on the right path anymore. Am I meant to switch careers entirely? Is there a reason I’m facing this struggle now? I’ve always been passionate about my work, but lately, doubt creeps in. I just want clarity about my next steps and confidence in my abilities. If you could lift this up in your prayers, I would be incredibly grateful. I hope to find a job where I feel I can truly contribute and make a difference, but I need strength to keep pushing through this tough time.
