Hi all,

I just had a phone interview this morning. I think I did poorly and moreover,
I think I made the interviewer angry too. I feel I am a stupid idiot. I suddenly
feel that I am hit to bottom of the “Valley of tears”.

Last night, the company which I interview with this morning suddenly called me.
They didn’t tell me what the job I was applying for and I can’t recall the memory
with my application because my application is submitted long time ago. Moreover,
the interviewer asked me questions which I was supposed to know the answer! You
see, I miss another opportunity! I really don’t know what God thinks of me. Perhaps He
must be disappointed by my performance.

Last night before I sleep, I kept praying for God and asked him to help me do well
in the interview. Somehow I feel like I am stabbed by thousand of knifes. I feel very
painful now.

What does God think of you? He thinks you’re amazing. You are one of His awesome creations, which means you’re nothing less than spectacular. He also loves you more than you can imagine. Jesus was crucified because He wants to spend eternity with you!

I try to think of this passage every time I’m feeling down…
“And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him.”
-Matthew 14:29-31

Everything is going to be alright, brother. I’ll say a prayer for you.
 
The words of the Lord as spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you…”(Isaiah 43:4)

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.
 
Thank you! :crying:

Two weeks ago, I asked my parish priest a question, “Will I miss God’s instructions? I am so afraid I missed his guidance…” The reason is that I have been jobless for almost 4 years, and I keep praying and praying for a grace to get a job. I went through so many interviews but no company was willing to give me an offer. Sometimes I complan to God about ignoring my prayers for my jobsearching!

Then my parish priest answered me, “Well, if you trust in God, do you think He will let you go astray?” I believe that God will guide my steps (but that does not mean I am sitting here and do nothing. I use everything I can within my abilities to find a job).

A few minute after the phone interview, I find myself surrounded by darkness and hopelesses. I keep feeling that I disappoint God because I keep missing every opportunities He gave me in the past.

My Lord, how can I serve You if I keep failing to seize every opportunities that you gave me? I really did do my best in every single interview you gave me in the past. I am sorry to disappoint you again and again. Please forgive me. Amen
 
If you’re doing your best you are not disappointing God! Be patient. God has a plan. It may never make sense to you, but trust in Him because His plan is perfect. When He finally presents you with the right opportunity that is in accordance with His will, you will not fail.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
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.
 
Don’t worry about missing opportunities. I know what it’s like to be jobless, and believe me, it is not your fault. My dad was without a stable job for six years and he had a degree in chemistry and lots of job experience. We just live in a really bad recession right now, and it’s making it harder to find a job.

Just remember that things will get better. Pray and trust in God and eventually the bad times will pass. 🙂 I’m praying for you.
 
Maybe the jobs wouldn’t have turned out to be the right environment or the right people for you to work with.
Maybe too you could write in a notebook each job you apply for and some details so you don’t get caught by surprise again.

St Joseph please pray for Joseph that he will find good work soon.
 
I shall pray for you and offer up my own sorrows on your behalf. Know that there are others, especially Christ, who are suffering along with you.

God bless you so much
 
I know how you feel… When I’m depressed I pray the rosary. :’)
God bless you, I’ll say a rosary for you!

That was really sweet. 🙂 I agree.
 
Well, today’s experience draws me to the following psalm:

My soul, why are you so sad?
Why are you so restless inside me?
Hope in God because I will praise him again!
When God is with me, he will do great things for me.
  • from Psalm 42 v.5
Now I don’t know whether God will answer my prayer or not,
but I know God will lead to somewhere according to his plan.
