I need to make a decision about a job. I have a full time one that I really dislike (and is not doing what I see myself doing in the future) at a school, and need to decide whether I should go back or not (I’m running out of time!). If I do go back, we will need to figure out what to do for after school care for my 11 y.o., as her middle school will not have after school care the way the elementary does. (her first year in middle school).

If I don’t go back, I will get a part time job evenings to make ends meet (which will be just barely probably, but still), and then we won’t have to pay after school costs for either of the children. It will make a few other little things easier as well, but money will be tight. It seems almost wrong somehow to give up a full time job in this economy, so I just don’t know what to do. I just don’t know what to do.

Prayers would be much appreciated!!
 
I pray the Lord will help you make the right decision for you and your family, in Jesus name. Amen.
 
Lord, Almighty God,
source of light, truth, and eternal goodness,
transform this present moment
into an hour of vision and inspiration.

Help me to find wisdom;
shed light on my thoughts.
May my aspirations come true
through righteous and good deeds.

Give me the strength to concentrate,
to think objectively,
and to see clearly.
Shed your light on me so that I may see
which decision to make.

Help me, O my Eternal God,
to avoid vanity and pride,
and thus be able to make worthy decisions
as a true child of yours.

Amen.

Lord, Your Word says to ask for wisdom and You will give it. Lord provide Your wisdom to this mother to do what YOU want her to do, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. Thank you!
