bad back and work

I hurt my back in July of 2000 at work. I have had problems with my back ever scents.

I work in a machining factory, and have been there for almost 6 years the first 4 years i work in one department.we will call it department (A) Then I went to another department ,we will call it department (PP) where doing my job in (PP) does not hurt my back as bad. But when they started to lay people off i got sent to the other department (A) that hurts my back when doing that job.

Don't get me wrong I'm very thankful that i still have a job and it is a gift from my Lord.

But I'm getting to the point where I can't walk or set down for and length of time, or do any thing that a husband or a father should be able to do left alone some one in there late 20's can do.

I have to work to support my family, and I do not want to lose my JOB. But some times I think that I might be better off, to get layed off, then to work in department (A).

I want to go back to school for RAD tech, and get in to the med field. But I'm still in the same boat where I need to work and get paid to support my family.

I'm praying about this and really seeking God's will on what to do...

Last night I was up all night hurt to the point where I was crying, I was hurting so bad that i could not even stand my wife rubbing my back or even my close touching my skin. I do not want, to have to live like this or put my family thought that again

Please pray that God will intervene and touch my back so I can keep work and supporting my family and keeps doing his well.
