Please pray for my situation so I can find the job that is for my best spiritual and temporal well being.

I have very littel confidence. I have often gone through extended periods of not working. I was with a company for almost 7 years and when the recession hit, I often thanked God since for the first time in my life I was not a victim of the recession

Well, last year I was bullied by a very difficult person and I am the person who lost my job. It was an unfair situation and I try my best to hand it over to God. I was off work for 2 months and found a job. It was below my qualifications but I thanked God for it and tried very hard to make the best of it. Well… was there ever a big miscommunication

I would ask a lot of questions to learn the process so the next time I could figure it out on my own. I was seen as unco-operative

The people gave me a LOT of contradicting messages and when I would get to the bottom of it, they saw me again as unco-operative

When a client was on the holding on the phone, I would ask them if I could call them back since I think it is horrible customer service to make someone hold for over 20 minutes. My co-workers did not appreciate how I was putting the customer first :eek:

I had nothing to do and asked a girl if I could help her, she asked me to do the filing which I did. I bumped into my manager in the file room and she asked me how I was doing. When she let me go she said ‘That day I did not want to see you in the file room I wanted you to do XYZ’ That was the first time I ever heard XYZ was a task I was suppose to do.

She said she had only heard my coworker’s side of the story and she had to base her decision on what she knew. Well… of course I never told her my side of the story ! I did not think it appropriate for the new girl to complain about others !!!

So after losing 2 jobs for having been treated unfairly, I am starting to feel very worthless. (if it was a mass lay off, I would have just though it a consequence of the recession and felt it was nothing personal)

So please pray that I believe in myself

Prayer of the Unemployed (of which I am a member, along with you)

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
You wanted all who are weary to come to You for support. Lord, I am worn out by my inability to find wage-earning work. With the changing job market, guide me in this pursuit to opportunities with a future so that there is not an immediate recurrence of this ordeal. Day after day my worry and fears grows as the rejections of my applications mount. I am able and willing to work - but I cannot find a worthwhile job. Please help me to obtain one soon.

Until I find employment, ease my worries regarding my financial situation and help me to take advantage of the time available to get closer to You. Let me realize that there are other ways to bring about Your kingdom on earth besides salaried work. Help me to make use of them for the time being so that I may continue to grow as a person for Your greater glory.

Amen

I’m praying for your situation. Many times as of late, I have seen friends and family go through situations a lot like what you are now, and everything turned out ok…better, in fact, than their situations were before. Have hope, and I am thinking of you.
 
Prayer to St. Joseph for Employment

Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon **cmscms ** in her family’s anxiety. Please help her to find gainful employment very soon, so that the heavy burden of concern will be lifted from her heart and that she will soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to her care. Help her to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that she may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.
 
Praying for you for strength, confidence, renewal and employment you will thrive in.👍
 
Thank you everyone for your prayers so far. I must admit, all this time on my hands is really wearing on me.

Please pray for me
 
I will keep you in my prayers. Things will work out even when it’s agonizing to wait.
 
I’m there. I’m a self employed land surveyor with very little work coming in. Same with almost all in my industry. The very same with many in this nation, and world. Prayer is the only hope I have.

***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 death.

Amen

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
 
I am definitely praying for you that God bless you that you will find a job and that employers are understanding of those looking for jobs

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 our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you:)

Dear Jesus,
Help us to remember that no one is worthless regardless of employment status, and that you love each one of us unconditionally and died even for those who are currently out of work and those who have never even have held never held an official job. I pray to you Jesus that cmcmcs that you will get your confidence back and if it it God’s will get re-employed.

Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me,
Body of Christ, save me,
Blood of Christ inebriate me,
Water from the side of Christ, wash me,
O good Jesus, hear me,
within your wounds hide me,
let me never be separated from you;
from the evil one protect me; at the hour of my death call me;
and bid me to come to your; that with your saints,
I may praise yo forever and ever.
 
Lord, guide cmscms to a new job that will be fulfilling and satisfactory to her. Lead her to your will for her and give her opportunities to grow in her faith and love for you. Comfort her at this time and give her confidence in herself and her abilities. Protect her from worry and give her peace. I ask this through the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother, Mary.
