My company is going through layoffs and honestly I'm scared. Been praying about it every morning and last night my kids asked if I was okay. Told them the truth, that sometimes grown ups are worried too, but we trust God has a plan. Asked if they would pray with me and they did. There's something powerful about being vulnerable with your family and showing them that faith isn't just for the good times.
Layoffs are stressful but the fact that you're being honest with your kids about it shows real strength. I've been there with the worry and praying through it. Hang in there.
That's tough man. Kids notice when we're struggling and it sounds like you're handling it the right way by being real with them while still being the solid dad they need.
That's tough, man. Praying every morning is solid. Just make sure you're also doing practical stuff like updating your resume and networking. Faith and action together.
Layoffs are the worst because you can't control the outcome. All you can do is trust things will work out. Hoping you end up in the safe group when cuts come down.

Layoffs are stressful, no question about it. Prayer helps a lot of people through this. Curious though, do you have a backup plan or are you pretty secure in your role?
