How Emmanuel Praises God Even On the Day He Loses His Job

Perhaps the reason for Emmanuel being at that particular place of employment for such a short time was simply to lift my friend and I to a higher place. His sweet faith surely will have a lasting impact on my own spiritual journey.
God is in charge, promotion is coming, [this job] is not
our source, God is our source, he is on the throne,
the war is his, the victory is for us.
I just finish speaking to my wife about it, we praise
God together and we are ready to move on, and continue
to seek God will and direction.
Stay strong, and firm, lift up your eyes to the maker
of heaven and earth, he knows your name.
I thank God for taking care of me and my family the
last five months, and the future is his, I will
continue to seek him with all earth, my soul, and all
my strength. Please do the same, focus on his
goodness, don't let the job situation carry away your
peace.
My prayer today is this:
Heavenly Father, thank you for Emmanuel. He is like the itinerant disciple 2,000 years ago, traveling without purse or scrip. Please continue to lift him and take care of him, help him to provide for his family. I know You have him under Your watchful eye. Thank you for sending his tender testimony to rework and nurture my own.
Imagine what would happen if an entire neighborhood or an entire city or an entire nation got on the same page with God through prayer
