I’ve been looking for a new job for months but no luck yet, and this company isn’t doing well. We’re having meetings with the boss today and I suspect I’m getting cut. I have no savings thanks to a salary cut we had a year ago, and am drowning in student loans, so will have to cash out my 401k which will only last me a couple of months at best.

I’ve been unhappy here for years but I have responsibilities to my lenders and my parents and I’m frightened.

Anyway, prayers would be most gratefully appreciated.
 
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 our death.
Amen.
 
I appreciate that, 🙂

Never worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through with gratitude,
and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4:6,7

You’re welcome; thank you!
 
Praying that you not only find gainful employment but, a job that allows you to experience the happiness that God wants us all to have…
 
Praying for you.

I need to take my own advice, but don’t despair and put your trust in God.

Thank you Ophelia. I’ve been unhappy here for years, partially my own fault, but it’s definitely scary to face not knowing what will happen. Be assured of my prayers for your intentions also.

Thank you, jheyer. I’ve actually been looking at Catholic jobs where I would feel happier and more committed, I am sure. The environment here has not been good for my spiritual health so if it does happen perhaps it will be the best thing. God bless and I’ll remember your needs as well.
 
I have also been struggling with reconcilling my current job with my new found Faith and have been looking at the same things…I pray God leads both of us in the proper direction!

Thank you for your prayers as well!

Absolutely. It’s a scary time for both of us but we are part of a community of Faith, and thank Heaven for that!

There are programs to reduce student loan payments. You’ll end up paying more interest over time, but there could be some short term relief. Avoid touching your retirement fund! Take any job you can, even if in fast-food to avoid an employment gap.
 
It is funny you say that as I as well have been drawn to pursuing a career that would allow me to be more involved in my new found faith. I will pray for both of us to find that which we seek.

Thank you for your prayers as well!
