Thanking God for His Faithfulness with Employment

I submitted a prayer request this past November 4th entitled "Bewildered and Discouraged". God has graciously and wonderfully answered my prayers and I give him all the praise and glory! During those five months of unemployment, I sought God in prayer, seeking His guidance (Proverbs 3:5-6) and placing my trust in him, despite the difficult human emotions I experienced that ran contrary to my choice to trust God. I had applied for 48 different positions and had 11 interviews that ended nowhere. I was ready to put my house on the market and move when I submitted that prayer request on November 4th. I specifically asked God to close the doors to where he did not want me to be and to please make it abundantly clear where he did want me by swinging the door wide open to where he did want me to be. Well, that just happened yesterday. I was offered a management position with a Christian organization working as a community and human service professional serving others. I won't go into other details, but to say that the position offered to me exceeded my desired wage. James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything."
Our heavenly father loves us dearly. There is nothing that comes into our lives that he is not aware of and he is present with us through those difficult times as we grow and mature in our relationship with him. The experience may be painful and it may not always feel like he is there, but he is. He has a purpose for each our lives and walks with us through those trials as hard as they may be, but if we place our trust in him, he promises that we will have peace (Philippians 4: 6-7)
I want to thank everyone who prayed for me through this difficult time. If anyone is feeling bewildered and discouraged by the trials you are going through, you are not alone. God is there.
