Prayer Request: We just got hit with Financial Crisis
10/16/16 | sff

Posted on 10/16/2016 7:31:20 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Hello fellow FREEPer prayer warriors and believers!

This evening, we got an email from our employer that portends some very bad news.

To put it simply, one of the adults in the household is highly likely to be facing reduced (perhaps down to zero) income in the very near future. We use this income for, as you can imagine, to pay essential bills.

We care for an elderly relative, living at home, who has dementia. And we care for a youngster in college.

Essentially this is, dare I say:

Not good.

So, God is greater than all of this and He is not taken by surprise, right? He is sovereign over all of these things.

I humbly, very humbly, ask you to pray for us once or twice or more if you can, asking Jesus to be with us and to help us cope. Ask for a new stream of income/job that will help us pay the bills.

We have begun in earnest already cutting our expenses. Sadly, some of this is in the form of charitable contributions we make monthly.

Some of it is expendable monies, too, of course. But we really aren't too foolish in our spending, at least in my opinion.

But I ramble. We will also need God's strength to explain this situation to the child.

Thank you in advance for your prayers. God bless.

Our Father in Heaven, I pray you would help this family in their time of need.

I pray you would provide a blessing to them to help in their financial need.

In addition to lifting your burden up in humble prayer, asking for a replacement income sufficient to your needs, you need to get busy polishing the resume, updating professional profiles (LinkedIn) and get started scouring the online job sites (SimplyHired.com, Indeed.com are two of the better ones in my experience). If it’s a mass layoff of many individuals with similar skillsets, there will be a lot of competition. Get on it, now, don’t allow any moping. Yes, it’s a shock and it’s upsetting, but there may not be time for that right now.

Please send me their resume or equivalent and I will try and find them something in your area. I was a career counselor and recruiter for many years.
