Dear Ladies,

Please pray....for discernment, for guidance, for God's will.

My husband has been trying to build up a business with a couple of partners over the course of the last 4 years. This endeavor has cost our family great sacrifice and has offered no return. My DH is now parting company with his partners and we are adrift. I know all things have a purpose and am trying to resist a tendency towards drama. Pray for me too please that I can be a source of comfort and support for my husband. I would not want to be in his shoes tonight. He is battling with doubts and guilt and a very uncertain future. He's a really smart guy with an "almost Ph.D. in Philosophy" a teaching career of about 10 years, and lots of Artsy Endeavors, but little in the way of skills to market. He's done so much growing up since he became a husband and father. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him.

Waiting for his ship to come in,
Kathleeen

Your love and respect for your husband shines through in your post. I am praying that he will feel and know it during this rough time.
