Look, if he loses his job, this is not the end of the world, it is simply a time to take advantage of new opportunities. Just say: "Well LORD, that was good while it lasted and I thank you. What have you got in store for us now?" It really isn't that bad. People change jobs every day. People are laid off every day. People are hired every day. Does this mean a change in lifestyle? Does this mean liquidation? It may or may not, but don't be afraid of any of it.
A friend of mine gave the keys to his house to the bank two years ago and moved his family into a small duplex. They have been happy ever since. They saved a ton of money, he changed employment and started a new business with his brother in law. They built up a heavy down payment and recently bought a much nicer home at a much lower price than the one they lost. They couldn't be happier.
It is necessary for all of us to be flexible with these things. You may end up moving completely out of state in pursuit of a new livelihood and find that you enjoy the place much more than your current residence and further notice that there are better opportunities for you in that new location.
The LORD has plans for you and these times that seem like travail and adversity can like the pains of child-birth be the coming forth of something far greater than previously imagined.
God bless you and be with you.
