Still praying for your situation and your family.
Lord, pick up Roux’s spirits, and open that door to finding employment so he can provide for his family. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you do I come, before you I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

please don’t lose hope.
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen***

Haven’t forgotten Roux’s situation and still praying. Don’t give up hope. We need your medical gifts and thank God for that.

We pray – Please Lord, allow this man to express the gift you granted him. Provide for his family and show him your path. We love You and we love our brother Roux and wish his family to be granted peace of mind in this season of hope. Amen.

Hi Roux

First, I am so sorry for your situation. And are there agencies in your town where you can get help in paying bills? Electric, rent? so forth. With a small a child and one income coming in, you might be eligible. Plus, I’ve been in a similar situation and had to rely on agencies.

Plus, no one really knows how it is unless they’ve been in your shoes. And it’s human nature to feel hopeless and helpless when the one person you rely on for support is drifting away from you.

I think working at anything for an income is a good idea which has been mentioned. I wish I could do it but I’m disable and financially unstable because of that reason. But above all know that God has you. He knows every single hair on your head and remember the story about the sparrow and how they don’t worry where they get their food and how the lilies in the field are clothed without worry also. Don’t ever think God has forgotten you. Not saying you have.

There are wonderful prayers that are being said on your behalf and trust that something will open up soon.

For you and your family::hug1:

***Prayer in Time of Suffering

Behold me, my beloved Jesus,
weighed down under the burden of my trials and sufferings,
I cast myself at Your feet,
that You may renew my strength and my courage,
while I rest here in Your Presence.
Permit me to lay down my cross in Your Sacred Heart,
for only Your infinite goodness can sustain me;
only Your love can help me bear my cross;
only Your powerful hand can lighten its weight.
O Divine King, Jesus,
whose heart is so compassionate to the afflicted,
I wish to live in You;
suffer and die in You.
During my life be to me my model and my support;
At the hour of my death,
be my hope and my refuge.

Amen. ***
 
O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all Roux’ interests and desires, in particular:

that Roux may swiftly obtain good employment in his field with sufficient salary that his wife may stay home with the new baby; and that Roux and his wife regain respect, love and peace in their marriage

O St. Joseph, assist him by thy powerful intercession and obtain for him all spiritual blessings through thy foster Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, so that, having engaged here below thy heavenly power, he may offer thee his thanksgiving and homage.

O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thine arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. Amen.

St. Joseph, pray for him!
 
Well I have to thank St. Jude, St. Theresa and all of you in this forum. I actually had two interviews last Wednesday and I have taken a job at a dermatology clinic.

While I have to admit after being there 2 days it is not the greatest thing in the world. Derm really never interested me but and I really don’t like clinical medicine (working in a clinic going from one patient to the next all day) but I don’t have much choice right now. It feels like I am having to resurrect my career and start from ground 0. It is really frustrating and disheartening but I have to do it for my family and for myself.

The toughest thing for me now is to force myself to make the best of this situation and not dislike the long days of clinic and having dealing with a field of medicine which I don’t have much interest in. I do struggle with anxiety and depression and my biggest challenge is to not let myself get caught up thinking that I am stuck here for the rest of my life. That I will dislike what I am doing forever and I have to just suck it up and do it. Maybe for now but not forever.

Sorry for the complaining (I seem to do to much of that after all) but I sincerely want to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts. This is a step in the right direction, however I still have a very long way to go.

That’s great news about the job, Roux. While it may be not be the ideal, it’s a start. God always has a way of working things out. I’m still praying for you and your family.
A lot of other people here are praying for you too.

God bless!

Agree. Just look at what you **have ** accomplished, Roux. I couldn’t even get into med school! You have a wife and a new baby. You really **do ** have a lot. Now, you say that you get depressed and have anxiety. Have you gotten help for this? There are a lot of medications that would lift the depression without causing any cognitive problems. From experience, I can tell you that anti-depressants will change your view of the future for the better. You will be more capable of handling the present, and better at planning your next steps.

We’ll still be praying for you and the family. 🙂
