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.
Since you are one of us FRiend, I know you have the resources and ability to change this to a plus! Praying here for a fortuitous turn around!
prayer for your safe guidance and shelter through the storm in Him tomorrow. In Jesus Name.
Prayers that all goes well for you.
Prayers Up!
Prayers up for discernment and wisdom for all parties - pray that you and your family become even closer if/as any transition occurs. He has a way of opening hangar doors as pantry doors slam shut....
Prayers for His grace and outcome today and for peace for you and your family. God bless you.
So sorry to hear. We went through this a few years ago.
Prayers up.
What we did at that time was also look hard at "surpluses" -- so cutting out completely any eating out or takeaways or ready made food. Cutting out these + sodas, juices, alcohol, a lot of processed foods and replacing with water, teas, coffees, fruits, vegetables, home-cooked meals not only saved us a lot of $$ but also got us healthier.
Also out the window went holidays out of town -- better to relax at home and also more travel by foot, public transport, bicycles
Oh and prayers, lots of it.
May God bless you
Please know that if the answer is “go” that it is God’s will and that there is a much better place for you and God has been preparing the way as you seek Him.
In the meantime, I’m praying for the boss, the owners, and I am praying for you and your family. May love and forgiveness rule the situation. My pastor once said something to the effect that, “Where there is the most strife, the most love is needed.”
The root of anger and abuse is generally fear. Take that in with you too. What is this person afraid of? What are his problems that he would treat you in this way? Make sure you have forgiven the boss before seeing the owners.
If the answer is stay, then you will also need a path forward in dealing with the boss, so I am praying for that too.
God is with you.
Lord Jesus Christ, protect Thy servants from ruin and answer their prayers in the hour of their need.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
God bless you in your meeting today.
FATHER GOD,
You know the plans you have for SoFloFreeper and the family, plans for good and not for evil to give them a future and a hope. May what Satan intended for evil be turned to good.
In JESUS Name we take authority over and cancel every plan of the enemy to silence the voice of our intercessor and steal their livelihood. No weapon turned against them will succeed. Silence every voice raised up to accuse them. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord. Their vindication will come from You.
FATHER GOD, pour out a blessing on SoFloFreeper and the family, so big that they would would stand in awe of You and praise Your Name, and give You the GLORY.
May SoFloFreeper be open to Your leading.
We claim every promise of PSALM 91 on this faithful family.

In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen
You have my prayers. No matter what happens, Jesus is with you.
Dear FRiend,
I have been through that very thing so many times!
Praying that God’s Will will bring you and your family to a new beginning of peace, prosperity, and contentment in your work.
Just last night, something happened in my own family that I would like to share with you. My nephew, an incredible guitarist, worked his way up in a prominent chain restaurant from bus boy, to waiter, to line cook, and was promoted and trained to be the sous chef several months ago. From the moment he was “promoted”, he had ALL the work and responsibilities of the sous chef(supervising all the cooks, ordering food, managing the kitchen, developing menus, etc, WITHOUT the corresponding title or increase in salary. He kept asking his stupid boss when this was going to take place and was put off. In the meantime anything that went wrong was blamed entirely on him, so he had all the stress and none of the benefits. I have been praying for him.
Here’s the punch line:
Last night, my nephew announced that he has been offered the position of sous chef at our city’s largest and most famous Rock Venue, with benefits, a $15,000 increase in salary, free tickets to all the awesome concerts and a chance to perhaps become a rock star himself.
So, I WILL pray for you!
(((HUGS)))
Prayers for you and your family.
As with my employment situations over the years, God allows one door to close only to open a better one. . .and often not immediately. Will be praying for your situation, may God be glorified. . .He has your back and is already in all of your tomorrows.
Prayers up.
Financial pressures are killers. There are few things in life as brutal as a financial setback.
Father God,
Be with this family as they step out in faith.
Supply their every need, including courage, persistence and unwavering resolve.
Be a lamp unto their feet until the next chapter in Your plan for them becomes manifest.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen!
I join with our other Prayer Warriors in asking the Lord to provide for you.
