Hey justlooking,

I’m from "Upstate NY’, and I haven’t been able to find a job since August-so I know how you’re feeling.

I tried to apply for Temporary Assistance-spent a whole day doing that-and NOTHING DOING!

I’ve also bugged all the temp agencies around here-and they always say IT’S SLOW! :mad:

I have some money-through an IRA I had from my first job-and I have a car that I don’t have to do any payments on, so I’m 'hanging in" myself.

But I’ll join all of the other CAF posters in praying for you, that you’ll find something soon…OK?

I will pray for you. God bless you.

I have been away from the Forum for a few months but my post would be exactly what yours is. I too am unemployed. lost a house to foreclosure, filing bankruptcy and my husband has pancreatic cancer. I have no insurance and there is no state aid available for me. I have not read all the posts but I read your initial post and can completely understand what you are going through. I shall keep you in my prayers and ask God to send you what you need to get through this difficult period. You are loved and kept in prayers by all.

To my dear CAF family. It is Christmas week and I have to say I am learning a lot about FAITH and LOVE. Two of the most beautiful things in life that you can not see…but when you have them…you have everything. If you have faith and if you believe…in anything in life…in a person…in a better tomorrow…in yourself…in God…in eachother…than you have a power and a force inside that can drive you…just by BELIEVING. And love…mezmorizing love that just is…I witness is from all you guys on here. Thank you for loving me…even though I can’t see it…I feel it in my heart. I want to wish you all a very blessed Christmas. I pray for more love, more happiness, more health, more wealth and more prosperity for each of you. I pray for gods presence in all of your hearts and souls…and a beautiful, amazing tomorrow.

I know God holds me in his hands. I can’t feel him…I am scared, even terrified…but I know he is with me and that all this suffering…the fear, all of it is to draw me closer to him…being closer to him is really all I need. I pray he continues to hold me in his arms…and I think that I need all of you because I can’t do this by myself…Please keep me in your prayers. My struggles have not ended but I am fighting constantly to have FAITH and to BELIEVE that I will be ok…

I love you all and wish you the most blessed Christmas imaginable. God Bless each and everyone of you. Thank you from the depths of my soul for your continued prayers and support.
 
Good morn’in.You are still very much in our thoughts and prayers.

That is one of the most beautiful writings I have ever read. From the heart and from pure 100% Love for God. I continue to pray for you…and want you to know that your writing so beautifully has uplifted me in a very special way. I am praying so hard for your peace and fulfillment.

Dear justlookingny,

I have been praying for you. Don’t give up hope. Get up everyday and thank God for what you have even if it might only be temporary.
Everything in this world is temporary, so thank God for what you have this day.

I’ve been in your situation before only worse. I had dependents. I also had a husband who wouldn’t seek gainful employment. I had family who wouldn’t help because I had a husband. The family also wouldn’t help when I left him. They felt I made my bed, so I should lay in it.

I finally realized that I could plan and try to do all I wanted to do, but nothing would come to fruition without Trust in God. I realized that today could be the day I died. I could be so distraught over what might happen in two weeks that I could get in a car accident and die today. All the things that I was upset about would have no meaning or purpose if I were dead. From that moment on, I turned everything over to God. I began to really trust Him. Everything I do, I offer up to God. Every night that I go to sleep in a warm bed, I thank God for this blessing. I thank Him for the food I eat. I thank Him for the smile on my children’s face. I thank Him for the beautiful day I have and the ability to breathe in the air He created. I thank Him for every act of kindness shown to me. I try to thank Him for every positive thing in my life and trust that He will continue to provide them.

A priest once told me that despair was a lack of trust in God. We should pray for our needs and then trust that God will provide for us. Ask for His will to be made known to you, so that you may do what pleases Him. I always pray to the Holy Spirit for the wisdom to make the best choices for myself and my children.

I will continue to pray for you and for all the people who are in your situation. God Bless.
 
Hi, justlooking…
I’m back…just saying hi and praying for you to find a job very soon. You sound so much better; I’m so glad.
 
Praying for you.
So often God has us wait and then shows what He has had in store all along. It is very hard and discouraging at times, of course.
I pray that your hard time is coming to an end.

A Prayer For Employment
God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment.
I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.
Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen

Offered for you
 
Dear “justlookingny.”

I was in your situation last year, no job, no family to help, no insurance and I also had big health issues. God DID come through in ways that I could not have seen beforehand!

Keep praying!
Blessings!!

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thine intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Praying for your mental state every day in my Novena to St. Dymphna.

**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 amongst 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.
