Prayers needed for a new struggling father

I am a father . I am struggling to keep my head high . I brought in a baby girl to this world I am struggling to provide . I had a job but suddenly was laid off after returning from parental leave . It has been over a year of trying to find new employment . I have been looking high and low . I admit I have not turned to hof until now because I feel like I’m at a dead end . I try to stay positive but my spirit is breaking . I pursued my dream career in law enforcement and things didn’t work out . I have made friends with people in that process and I smile for them but my path is unclear . I accepted that my unemployment has ran out . I had a job I thought for sure not a dream job but as a delivery driver . I got news today i did not get the job . I am broken .

A friend told me to seek legal action on my former employer. I happened to choose the wrong law firm because they sued my company for a substantial amount then dropped the case . I was told that that law firm was a shady firm and it only complicated it and no other law firm wants to take over someone else’s case . I was never expecting that but I just can’t believe my luck as of late .

I can’t even get a part time job . I’m so eager to work I can’t even enjoy my daughters because I’m just constantly worrying about money. I feel like a loser , everyone tells me it’s ok but it’s really not . I’m a grown man that’s dying inside . I’m not happy and I just want a job so I can make money for my kids . I live in the Bay Area and can’t even grasp a 50k a year job and it’s just plain out sad .

I apologize coming to god only when I’m in a time of need . At this point I don’t know what else to do . I wish I could quit but it’s not an option . My true want for something better just breaks me down because I nothing I do is working . Please god if your out there know I’m trying and I really need help now I can’t do this much longer I’m breaking down

Personal question: is the need from God just only for money, or for any job, or are you absolutely set on getting back into law enforcement? The country has more courts than San Francisco, you realize. Another company in Florida or Maine or somewhere might still take you.

Praying for you and your family. Please know that you do not have to get your life together before coming to God.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” Psalm 34:18

May He provide the work you need, give you strength for today, and remind you that your worth as a father is not measured by your paycheck. :folded_hands::revolving_hearts:
