I’m sorry, I hope you find something soon. I’m similarly unemployed and disheartened; it’s been five months and prospects are bleak, especially for those of us under 25 with mounds of student debt and little work experience. It’s hard to stay motivated. I left my last job due to a change of residence and I’m regretting it terribly. I’ve started to just go through the business listings in the phonebook to see who’s hiring. I have to find something soon. You’re not worthless! There are loads of people in similar situations, it’s become fairly common. Stay diligent and don’t feel ashamed.🙂
 
For cmscms and for all of the unemployed, that they may come to know how much You love and value them. Let this time of unemployment become a time of renewal and refreshment, leading to greater things. Give them meaningful, fulfilling work and financial security, to the glory of Your name, for ever and ever.
 
Thank you everyone for your prayers. I will also remember the ones looking for work in mine.

I constantly feel like a ‘have to figure it out’ so I spend hours on the internet looking up where the job is, if there is affordable housing near it and if not what the bus/train routes are. It is giving me a headache to say the least.

I am paranoid of moving to a big city because I REALLY do not do well if I have to communte for a long time. I have a lower than average energy level and it REALLY stresses me. Then I worry that if I have a long commute, my performance on the job will go down and I will be fired. Or what if I sell my condo and move only to be let go.

This is such a headache. As much as I want to trust God, I think so far I have been very lucky because I could always bike to work in less than 15 minutes. I can not imagine any other lifestyle but on the other hand, if most other people communte at least 45 minutes to work, how can I expect to be so special as to not have to?

This is just bringing up a lot of triggers from the past where I was in no win situations (but those are items for another post)

Again, thanks for all your prayers

Prayers going up for your peace of mind, dear heart.
 
***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 all in their anxiety over their present inability to support their family. Please help them to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from their hearts and that they are soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to their care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that they may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God.

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 death.

Amen
 
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.
 
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
