What do we do?

Husband is miserable. He really hates his job, so much so I will share with you that we are considering him seeing a psychiatrist and possibly taking anti-depressants. This decision isn't being made lightly, but he does have a history of depression and it runs in the family. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have seen my husband cry during the 7.5 years we have been together. His job makes him cry. He is the only one in the entire facility that has a college degree and he is unable to get a promotion or a raise. What do you do? Do you quit on faith that God will provide you a job? I don't like this idea, not because I don't have faith that God will provide but because I have done the math. We wouldn't make it financially if he quit. So many people don't have jobs and would gladly take my husband's job and suffer. I have faith that God will provide for us. Jon Acuff (Stuff Christian's Like) talked about being lazy Christians and assuming that God will take care of things without making an effort. I hate seeing him so upset and I feel so useless.
