Jehovah Jirah "My Provider"

Is it just me or does it always seem that God does not answer prayers the way that we wish He would. I have been looking for a job for most of the summer and it just seems like doors keep closing left and right. I had a job offer a couple of weeks ago to work doing HVAC, heating and cooling, but I was not sure that was the job I wanted to settle for. Since that time, I pursued very strongly a sales position and have continued to pursue a teaching career. Well, this past week I had interviews with both positions and today I discovered that they are not going to pan out the way I had hoped they would. In the mist of all this, I have been praying and asking God to do what He knew was best for my wife and I. Today was the deadline to tell the heating and cooling place what I was going to do, so I called them back and told them that I would take the job. This was really a hard decision for me, because it consists of a cut in my salary and a longer work schedule. But, I have to believe that God knows what He is doing and He has the best in mind for me. I know it is and will be easy to get discouraged over this job, but as my father put it, "A job in the hand is better than no job at all." I plan to make the best of it and will try to prove to the company that I am a hard worker and worth having on their pay roll. Hopefully my hard work will pay off and I will get a raise in time.
