The last 2 weeks have been especially rough for the hubby with his job.  This week the bottom seemed to be falling out with one particular corporate client.  It had the potential of being catastrophic for the company.  He wondered if his boss, who should hold the largest blame, would pawn it off on him.  The hubby made arrangements to correct issues immediately that were affecting the other company.  After everything was set for go thursday, his boss calls at teh 11th hour and says he can't do the service.  You know the client was VERY upset.  So the hubby went over his boss's head and explained the issue, what he had wanted to do to band aid the issue until a full resolution could be found, to hold onto the account and maintain their reputation as a company who meets the clients needs.  He made a comment that he might be without a job by week's end. 

Now the end of the story (as it stands) is that the upper boss saw my husband's resolution as the correct course of action and okayed for them to go over today and move forward with the service.  But this isn't what I wanted to discuss. 

After the hubby had discussed the situation with me, and the fact that he might be without employment I was worried.  But that feeling passed quickly as I began to see it as an opportunity to make a clean break.  I prayed that if it be His will to end my husband's relationship with this company, that he do so giving us guidance and strength; especially for the hubby.  Since the main struggle was that he wanted to do what was right and his boss wanted to do what was deceitful, it was a tricky situation.  I really struggle with him working for a company that is continuing to follow a path of the world.  I prayed that God might answer our prayers with a forced reason to pick up immediately and move to the country. 

As it stands, things seem to be ok with the company, however he won't hear from his boss until mid next week.  But, I wonder is it wrong to pray for something that is negative?  It surely would cause a certain amount of stress for our family.  I know that in every situation God will care for us and provide, so there is no real worries.  I have been searching for scripture that would help me sort through my thoughts, but keep being lead to other passages, that I can't seem to see how they relate to my present question. 

These are my thoughts.
