Hi there, please pray for the economy in general and small businesses. Even though we’ve been in a recession for quite a while now, even though they say the economy is improving, I can say this is by far the worst year I’ve experienced in our business. I can’t seem to ever make enough and can’t even pay my own bills. I’m just so stressed that I feel like I want to rip my hair out! With memorial weekend coming up, our vendors have doubled our orders because they won’t becoming next week and I could barely pay the bills that I had for just one week, let alone two. I have a loan that needs to be paid back, but I can’t ever get any money to pay it back and they could close my business if it’s not paid. The weather has improved but people are not able to come out like they have in the past - prices of goods are just too high for people to buy things. I sit and cry sometimes. I pray the rosary for my business. I feel any way I go is hopeless.
 
Also, I just don’t want prayer for myself either - but for everyone affected. Unfortunately if it does not improve, I will have to let someone go and I don’t want to have to do that.

Hi Forest1970,

I will keep you in my prayers. meanwhile If I could suggest some thing, Jeremiah 29: 11-14. Read it meditate on it and use it as a prayer. It will give you strength to carry on.

Hail Mary Full of grace, the Lord is with thee, Blessed are thee among women, blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners ,now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

With prayers,
Joe
