Been unemployed since mid-December. Still looking, still no job. 😦

My God, My God, why have you abandoned me?
 
I will pray for you.

I found this prayer in a magazine. I can’t remember which, but I have been praying it a lot lately…

Gracious and loving God, you know our need for meaningful work. Send your Holy Spirit to guide those who are searching for employment. Help them to recognize the gifts and talents you have given them. Deepen their desire to follow your will. Inspire them as they contact potential employers. Give them patience as they wait for responses.
Shelter them from feelings of rejection. Protect them from discouragement. Give them courage to overcome fear.
Shower on them the graces they need to persevere. Let this time of searching become an opportunity to grow in faith, to cultivate the virtue of hope, and to experience Your healing Love.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Remember oh most gracious virgin Mary
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence
I fly unto thee,
oh virgin of virgins, my mother.
To thee I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
Oh, mother of the word incarnate,
despise not my petition,
but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

God Bless You!
 
I will pray that you find a job! Trust in God! Pray hard!

Don’t let Satan fool you into thinking that God has abandoned you.
 
Our Father…
Hail Mary…

St. Joseph, pray for us!
St. Jude, pray for us!
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 our death.

Amen.

My God, My God, why have you abandoned me?
I used to (well, still do) pray that Psalm in the middle of my problems. But I remember the last part of the Psalm - it ends in an assertion. In effect, “I know who you are, my God, I know that you will not abandon me but come to my aid. I know that I will end up telling everyone how great you are and how you helped me.”

Jesus was hardly breathing when he spoke those first words from the cross, but he fully meant the last words that we do not hear him say. He felt the despair, but also knew his Father.
Read and pray the whole Psalm (22, and on into 23). You already know the despair; now also assert the hope in the face of the despair because of who this God is.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me Amen
 
Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Please help Lost Sheep. May he/she pray his/her Rosary daily and deepen his/her devotion to you, and receive your powerful assistance. Amen.

OUR FATHER
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.
