I graduated recently from an engineering program from a good engineering at my country and was having problem finding employment due to specialized nature of the program I chose. I was suffering from anxiety and depression during my last year of college and had to graduate in fall as a result. I prayed novenas and rosaries for God to help me with my Job search and came up with nothing. After a while I felt like rosaries and novenas are not working and sort of gave up on rosaries and felt like Our Lady was not helping me. I still prayed although not as intensive as I would like it to be.
My mother who is much more devoted than me (my devotion was sort of on and off continued on praying the rosaries till one day she told me that she “felt like” God is nudging her to tell me to go back to school adn do a graduate degree which will be of great benefit for my field of engineering.
I applied to a graduate program and was really worried about getting in since my grades are only slightly above the requirements and I had been rejected by other programs before.So I started praying novena again. This time really hoping it will work since having a graduate degree will increase my chance of employment. At that time I had no concrete job offer on the horizon and I had been unemployment for about 5 months so I also prayed that I could start the program sooner to avoid prolonged gap in employment.
I prayed about three different novenas for days (sacred heart, Infant Jesus of Prague and 3 Hail Marys). Towards the end, I made a promise that if I can get in before June, I would publish a testimony. So I ended up getting in 1.5 weeks before June and I got to work with a great lab group for my graduate degree.
I also realized that when God didn’t answer our prayer, it means He has another plan and it’s probably true in my case. The job I was applying for before is non engineering job (since the engineering job in my field required an advanced degree) and the grad programs I got rejected from before were also non engineering programs. I took up Rosary again and hope that I will be able to have stronger devotion to rosary and novena after this. I hope that after I finish this degree, I will be able to get a job.
