Loss and pain
Losing a job
Being left without work and feeling uncertain about the future and about providing for yourself.
What the Bible can tell you
See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?
Matthew 6:26
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Commit your deeds to the LORD, and your plans shall succeed.
Proverbs 16:3
A human reading
Losing a job affects the economy, but also your sense of self-worth. God does not ask you to have everything solved in order to trust. Seeking support, reorganizing your steps, and caring for your mood are also part of the path.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
