Prayer needed ~ My brother, Mark

So about ten days ago, my brother walked into his job and they told him they were letting him go.
They couldn't really give him a reason. They did offer him a reference letter.

The thing is, my brother is a hard worker. Doesn't matter what the job is, he tackles it. So why would you fire one of your best employees?

We can't figure it out since they just hired eight new ones, so it can't be a downsizing excuse. The guy who had to tell him the news, didn't even know. He has never had a performance review, but I know he is a good worker or they would have fired him long before now. We think that due to his third anniversary approaching with the company, they wanted him out before they had to increase his benefits. See, at three years, your vacation triples, and you get sick pay and a raise and some other miscellaneous benefits.

They did offer him his bonus he was due from one of the new hires that he recommended, so at least he got that.

SOOOOOOOOO, the big thing is, he needs a job. We all know that the corporate world is downsizing all the time and jobs almost anywhere are hard to come by. HOWEVER, Mark has a few things going for him in that he is a good worker and he had top grades at graduation and was being "hunted" by several accounting firms and thus, getting a new job, providing someone has openings, shouldn't be too difficult.
He is trusting God through all of this and that there is a lesson to be learned.

So the request would be that Mark is able to make the right decision for his next job. He has been married just over a year now and is the main support for the house, so with money tight already, this could be somewhat of a struggle for them depending on how long it takes. He should be able to get unemployment, but we all know its never the same as your check. They are without health insurance too at the moment.

Please pray that Mark goes where God is leading. And please pray that God keeps both Mark & Ashly healthy during this time.

Lord~
We know you have a plan in all of this. We don't always know what you are up to, but your plan is always better than ours. Please help Mark make the right choices in applying for new jobs and the offers he receives. Please help Mark & Ashly remain healthy while they have no insurance. Lord just cover them both and be with them in every step they take.
In Your name we pray,
Amen
