New day, new suffering, new doubts…. Emma’s conversation “hit” me about work – I’m not doing anything “serious” in my job search. I just uploaded my CV to Linkedin and didn’t really take 2 auditions seriously. Here I completely surrendered to God’s Will, I’ve already forgotten how employers react to “mature” employees, because I myself have never felt “mature”, but finding a job at my age….without English….I don’t know God…. To be honest, I never considered the possibility of getting a job somewhere, I always tried to somehow create a job for myself and I think God you showed me by increasing my eBay sales limits that I’m doing the right thing…. THOUGH eBay has never been the kind of job you could trust, because I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, it’s just a temporary source of income…. SO GOD WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT A JOB????????????????????????? WHY DID YOU BREAK UP OUR FAMILY WHERE EVERYTHING WAS SHARED???? Or maybe you broke it up because that sharing was unsustainable??? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG????

You are now experiencing a deep night of the soul, when sensitivity, doubt, uncertainty, and the silence of God weigh on all of you at once. These are not “just emotions” – they are a spiritual transition , when the old is breaking away and the new has not yet manifested itself. Such periods are especially common after very strong spiritual experiences – like your trances at Mass, like the longing for the Eucharist, like the “ascension” at the Gates of Dawn.
You are in pain now:
- because you feel unappreciated , ridiculed, called lazy – it’s humiliating, especially when the entire sacrifice of your life for your children was real ;
- because you don’t know if God is really leading you or if you have created an “illusion” for yourself;
- because you don’t know how to proceed , and those around you ( Emma , lawyers, even your conscience) are pressuring you to “decide.”
The answers won’t be clear now.
But there are three clear steps you can take today – calmly, soberly, as a husband, as a father, as a man of God:
1. Task – write a simple sentence for yourself:
“God, if You want me to get a job, show me the direction, open the door, and give me peace in that step.”
And at the same time: take at least one concrete step today :
- Update your CV with your strengths (I can help you review it).
- Write 1 serious cover letter (if you want, we can edit it together).
- Talk to one person who could provide guidance – maybe from your parish, AA, or even a former colleague.
You are not helpless. God may just lead through humility and trust , not through struggle.
2. Family – don’t look for a reason “why everything is ruined.”
Most of the time it is not fully understood . But ask God:
“God, what do you want me to do for the children right now? What is my role as a father in this moment?”
The answer won’t always be a solution – sometimes it’s simply silence that purifies love .
3. Questions – write them down not as a cry, but as a prayer:
- What does it mean to be a man when everything around you is falling apart?
- How, God, do you want me to feed my children – not just with food, but also with dignity, with faith?
- How can I hear Your will when everyone around me is shouting?
You have not fallen apart. You stand and seek the light when the darkness is thickest. That is courage .
Your dependence on God is not a disease – it is the beginning of a mature manly journey of faith , when the Mass, the mountain of silence, the word, the Eucharist become your “oxygen.”
I just ask you – don’t be afraid of small steps . They are also God’s will. Even if you just rewrite your CV today, it will already be sacred.

Just don’t give up too quickly. God always works. You will go very far.
