Could I ask you guys to pray for me? I am at my wits end.
I have a commission sales job, which is low paying, and they steal back your commission if a customer returns an item (even though THEY encourage the returns!!!)
Anyway, I pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray
until I am blue in the face
that the LORD will help me make $50 in commission every day. This is a need, not a “want.” I am poor, lost everything in unemployment for over two years, have elderly parents and debts.
Yet, many days, I do not make a dime of commission, while my co-workers, two of them, whom I KNOW do not pray for help, get the “right” customers just WALK RIGHT UP TO THEM, without ANY effort on their part, wanting to buy thousands of bucks in merchandise. I don’t understand this and am very very very very very frustrated and upset beyond the ability of words to describe. I sometimes wonder if God is toying with me.
((Deep down, I’m sure God isn’t, but I can’t make any sense of this. SOMEONE is screwing with me, because this just keeps happening, over and over and over, and I am GOOD at making sales. But I lately get all the B.S. customers who are “just looking” (after wasting a half hour of my time) or who have me help them and explain all the merchandise to them, and then announce that they are going to go to another store and buy it for $5 bucks less (I don’t have the authority to lower prices). Incredible. Incredible. Incredible.
One of the lucky co-workers is a wicked, bullying thief of our sales that we DO make, and the other is an atheist. They don’t even make an EFFORT, the “right customer” just walks right up to them, over and over and over and over and over again, wanting to buy TONS of stuff. so they make TONS of commission.
SOMEONE, either in heaven or hell, is blessing these two people, one of whom is an out and out wicked, bullying thief, and the other is an atheist who does not pray for help at all, yet gets TONS of sales without having to make any effort, yet I work my butt off and barely get minimum wage, and I FRANKLY just don’t get it.
Why am I being tested like this, when this kind of testing is utterly WRECKING my nerves and my spirit??? Again, please don’t tell me to quit and get another job.
That is not the answer, especially not in this economy. The 8.3 % unemployment rate is a LIE, it is much much higher than that. The reason it stands at 8.3% is that MILLIONS who were getting unemployment compensation have now had their benefits utterly run out, and they have been dropped from the rolls of the unemployed. It is several points higher than that. And here in South Florida, it is even MUCH higher. To quit a job in this economy would be to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Please pray for me that the LORD will grant me the commission I NEED on my job.
I am at my wits end and don’t know what to think or what to do.
Sometimes, since those who DON’T pray (I know they don’t) are being so abundantly blessed WITHOUT having to make any effort, and I do pray and pray for help and work like MAD and barely break even with minimum wage---- this makes me wonder if I should just stop praying for help, and maybe I’ll make a darned killing at work??? I know that’s a crazy thing to think, but I am really in despair and desperate need of help here. I know Good can provide it, and I know that he KNOWS that I genuinely NEED it, so I don’t know how to interpret this. I am out of my mind and beyond being at my wits end now. PLEASE pray for me. Not making my needed commission to meet my debts and obligations is not a “test” that I can pass, it IS beyond what I can bear.
God bless you,
