I am praying for you. Hopefully things will get better very soon.
 
Update: I learned today that its down to 6 girls being called in for a second interview next week (I am one of the 6) I really want this job and hopefully god wants it for me! I am trying so hard to hang in. I just wanted to give an update as I am still requesting prayers!!!
 
***† JMJTJ †

You continue to be in my prayers.***

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen

***God bless you † ***

Still praying for you! :gopray2:
 
From today’s Liturgy of the Hours, on this Feast Day of the Guardian Angels:

Prayers and Intercessions

Beloved brethren, a host of angels stands before the Lord and praises him with one voice. Let us proclaim his name with rejoicing:
  • All his angels, bless the Lord.
O God, you commanded your angels to keep us safe in all our ways:
lead us in your footsteps today and keep us free from sin.
Father, the angels in heaven see your face always:
may we unceasingly strive to share that sight with them.
O God, your children will be like the angels in heaven:
keep us pure in heart and body.
O God, send Michael the great prince to the aid of your people,
to defend us in battle against Satan and his angels.

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 that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

O God, in your infinite providence you deign to send your holy angels to be our guardians. Grant to us who pray to you
that we may be defended by them in this life
and rejoice with them in the next.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
 
I am praying for you and will continue to! Someone at Church can help you. I will ask for Jesus to send you someone who will help you. God has not forgotten you. You are on my heart and in my prayers. You can respond to me by taking care of you, that will be my intention.

Dear justlookingny,

I am sending my guardian angel to you, and will also pray for you tonight when I go to the Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel at 11:00 p.m.

Please, instead of praying in return for me, pray for jollyoki, another CAF member who is on the verge of homeless. I will also bring you to her attention so that she can pray for you.

Praying now for your needs … Please feel welcome to PM me if you would like someone to talk to.

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 that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen

I continue to pray for JOLLYOKI (Heidi) and for other CAF members experiencing similar trials. I find so much comfort in prayers offered, it makes me feel less alone, so I thank you all. I am praying that god opens some doors for me because the odds seem so stacked against me. The economy has made the job industry look almost bleak. There are an overwhelming flood of applicants for a scarce amount of jobs. I have been told I am being considered for a second interview and should hear more this week. I’m just praying and doing all I can to stay afloat at this time. I am living day to day, week to week, on a wing and a prayer. CAF members have been my wings.

On top of the unemployment nearing its end, the lack of funds in the bank, having no family support, my best friend moved out of state a few weeks ago and the man I was dating revealed he loved me but wasn’t in love with me. I think what he really meant to say was I think youre a great person, but I want to be free to find someone I can truly love! So I lost the relationship too and have struggled with letting him go.

I know it could always be worse and I continue to count my blessings…I have a roof over my head at this time, clothing, transportation, the ability to love and have my health (even though I require medical attention) I know I could have it worse because I have experienced and endured other trials in my life…But I do beleive or feel that life can avalanche at any moment because I know I am ‘teetering’ on a verge of a desperate situation which must change course almost immediately.

I know there are people out there who need more help than I, i.e. jollyoki, and I offer my prayers to her and all others who need assistance at this time.

As for catholic charities, I did look into it and I do not qualify for assistance at this time. I don’t know exactly how that is possible, I think its because my earned income prior to lay off was too high. I never knew life was going to be this hard!!!

I pray for god to open doors to all the ones that have shut…I am trying to keep faith that he making changes in my life…perhaps preparing me for the next phase. I know I yearn for deeper faith through these trials, necessary to find peace in my heart with a greater sense of confidence that I will endure it all …less fear. Simply put, I need to know he is with me at this time. Thank you all for being with me…You guys are my wings!!!

This is great news! I’m praying that the second interview goes well, and that soon you’ll have a good, stable job! 🙂

PRAYER FOR EMPLOYMENT
(By Father Anthony Petrusic.)

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.

I am praying for you.

“Do not worry about what might happen tomorrow; the same loving Father who takes care of you today, will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations” St. Francis de Sales

Alma
 
Just to let you know I am still praying for you that the Lord will be the light at the end of your tunnel.

Shield me from suffering or unfailing strength to bear it? I didnt get either of the jobs. There is nothing out there…I found out the boyfriend was cheating on me the entire time I was in love with him. God gives me more trials and tribulations than anyone around me…blessings fall upon them (and they dont even go to church) and I for some reason am left to struggle and I just don’t know why…I knew this situation was going to really test my faith and send me over the edge…well…here I am. I can’t even function, I am spending most of my time in bed crying…I AM SUFFERING…finding peace in nothing…my prayers are me begging…begging for a miracle. And the heathens are getting the jobs…so can he either shield a little more or give me that unfailing STRENGTH…cause I don’t have it right now. I am in despair.
 
justlooking,

I’m praying for God to give you peace and relief from your anguish, to help you see clearly what you should do next, the direction He’d like you to look in for a job, and to know what to say and do to help a prospective employer judge you to be the best candidate.

To heck (I’d get bleeped if I used the word I mean) with the ex-boyfriend. He wasn’t for you.
 
Prayer to St. Raphael

O Raphael, lead us towards those we are waiting for, those who are
waiting for us! Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand
towards those we are looking for! May all our movements, all their
movements, be guided by your Light and transfigured by your joy.

Angel guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet
of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and
tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth, we feel the need
of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so
that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy, all ignorant of
the concerns of our country.

Remember the weak, you who are strong–you whose home lies beyond the
region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene, and
bright with the resplendent glory of God.
Amen.

:bighanky:
I am so sorry :(. When I saw you posted, I was hoping it was going to be good news. Have you tried temp agencies? I was out of work over 2 months last year and that’s how I got the job I’m at now. Still praying for you. I think prayers to St. MIchael are in order. :knight1:

My sentiments exactly!
 
I could have written your letter a few months ago…right down to the “I love you but I’m not in love with you” stuff…no husband, no kids, no job, (felt like) no nothin’. I now have a job in a field in which I never worked before (healthcare). It’s a low-level clerical job, but it is a rung on the ladder and a safe place for now. You sound like a smart, responsible person who has something to offer. Some employer will eventually realize that.
Trying to send you the strength to endure through the Internet. I hope that makes sense.

God I pray for the strength to endure because I am in agony right now. I cry everyday. I feel like I have lost my mind, my heart and my soul. I pray I can be in a better place in a few months but I dont even know if I have hope anymore…I see no end to this I only see it getting worse before it gets any better.

I am glad you have a job. Thank god for that. Amen. I hope things start getting better for you.
