Prayer Request
Myself

Posted on 09/22/2014 5:36:44 AM PDT by spiffy

Hello Freepers - I am asking for some prayers and words of encouragement as I have lost my job and am no looking for a new job.

I am a corporate finance guy and one year ago took a job in a small company, a job that involved training to replace the controller who was getting ready to retire. This job was something of a stretch for me as I had no prior management experience and no experience in some of the areas that fall under the position that I was hired for. Things did not work out -Friday I was told that they would be letting me go and seeking someone else. This was not totally unxpected, the last 6 months or so I had been feeling that this would not work out for me. They have offered to give me good references, as I am very good at the areas in which I have worked in during the past 15 years.

I'm asking for some prayers. I have seen these prayers requests and have been moved by them. I am not the kind of person who feels comfortable asking for help, but I have never needed help as much as I do know. During the past difficult 6 months or so I have been praying every day, but this is not something that I have been used to. I have been listening to a lot of Christian music lately and have found this helpful.

I am a long time Freeper and have always been moved by the praeyer threads. Thanks.

I would go to where there are jobs. North Dakota, Texas, and maybe Arizona. When I was young you went to where the jobs were.

Also talk to your friends and ex classmates for leads.

Prayers going up. If you need a quickie temp job just to pay the bills, Fedex and UPS are hiring temporary workers for the holiday season.

Last year they got slammed and are trying to prevent that this year.

It can be difficult sometimes to recognize the open door in the distance until you walk through and close the current door behind you. May God bless you through this time.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

If you move He moves. I have been living on faith for some time now myself (last 2 years) and He has always provided. It hasn’t been easy and it’s tiresome having to hustle more than I ever have in my life but our bills always seem to get paid even if just barely. Maybe He has a better job in store for you. Prayers sent your way.

My minister recommended Julie True CD which is soaking music. During prayer time I am able to let the worries of the day go and open my ‘inner ears and eyes...aka my spirit’ to listen for my answer or just take the daily stresses away. Let Go and Let God!!! You are taking a great first step with asking others to pray for you. In our church (Methodist) we have Stephen Ministers who you can submit privately or publically to them your needs and they will pray for you! We have discovered recently the power of laying on of hands for all kinds of healings!!!

So, may your prayers to God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be answered for work that are above even your desires by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit who will lead you in every good way! Be Blessed and at peace!

Spiffy- prayers up for you! I humbly suggest reading the Bible a bit and get closer to God.

When “bad” things happen in my life my Christian friends often tell me that they believe God is trying to get my attention- trying to shape me into the person He wants me to be. I find reading His word to be calming and prayer a must. If you have Christian friends that live near you then reach out to them for support.

Have faith that God is working in your life. Have hope that a better day is on the horizon. Remember that His grace and mercy are new every morning. Be most thankful to Him as well.

My best to you. May God bless you and keep you!

Prayers up for you.

Make a list of the skills you learned from this experience, and add them to your resume.

Contact everyone you know in your industry and everyone you’ve met in finance, treasury, accounting, etc. Networking is one of the best ways to find your way back to employment.

Boil your resume down to one page with your name, address, email and phone # at the top.

Are there any new business books out on your line of work ? Refresh your outlook with one of them.

Good luck !
