Rather than writing down your prayer, please, just say the words with your whole mind and heart.

I feel very lame asking for this after hearing on the news the amount of suffering others are enduring. But here it goes. I have been trying to separate from my current job without having a major anxiety attack. My wife has been resistent for obvious reasons about me resigning. However, I’ve been needing this change for many years. I am working in civil engineering for a local municipality. But I need further school in order to sit for licensure. But my first degree is a B.S. that should allow me a very good opportunity in GIS and/or Planning. I am also considering teaching because I loved it. In order to make this move and to give myself time to recover I’d like to use part of my retirement to return for a graduate degree in this area rather than a graduate degree in Civil Engineering. Now, I would consider working as a civil engineer, but after 9 years working under licensed Aggies I’m convinced that they not very good people. I never had that issue with Planning and GIS. it seems to be only engineering and explains why my collegues made fun of them so much in the past. Now I know.

I need prayers for God to give us the answer to our situation. I need time to heal from all the abuse of the engineers guilty of marginalizing me and others. They don’t want me to leave because I’m so good, but they’re not willing to stop the insults and such about reasons for not having children.
 
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Father in Jesus’ name please touch the minds of these people to treat others as they would wish to be treated. Do not allow their rudeness and uncharity to push this man or any other to emotional and mental distress and to leaving good jobs. Please give him the strength to speak up calmly and shame them into behaving charitably and respectfully to him and to any other person whose situations are different to theirs.

However, if it is according to Your wishes for this man’s true good and his wife’s please help him to move into a clear new direction. Your will be done in their lives.
Thank You, Father
 
I just said a heartfelt prayer for you without writing it down, like you asked. May God hear and answer my prayer. Amen.
 
A little more info:
My manager and supervisor pulled me in for a talk that led to me signing a memo that told me not to work Saturdays without permission. They said they need me and my experience. Then the manager turned around after me explaining why I’ve been missing so much work, sick kids, wife, self, etc. and then repeats of the same ole illness. In fact, my wife is sick right now with the same thing. We don’t know what it is and it simply doesn’t make sense. Well, he said “this is a good argment against people having kids”. Then he told me that the director above all of us said that he raise 3 children and managed to back leave time. Well, he got a lucky break and like I said on another thread his wife may not have had cancer, son broke his arm, or family to be fundamentally against Catholiicism or agains him. I had a uniquely different set of cards laid out in front of me that led me where I am today. I did not volunteer to work in engineering but rather once an engineer hired me instead of letting me do just the planning and GIS work for his firm he blew all of that off, criticized it, made it perfectly clear his disdain for Urban Planning/Planners and saw no use of GIS, even though it is quickly becoming his downfall, failing company. The only position offered to me before planning jobs opened and GIS opportunities opened up was this one. I was being recruited for MAPSCO as a VP of production at the same time I took this job. I accepted the position that did not require the amount of traveling I was looking at in MAPSCO. Personal reasons. It was the right choice but all of the professional jobs keep pointing me to either teach or return to one or both of these. I had hoped to get licensed thinking it might be God’s will. So I plan to return for a graduate degree and tap into my retirement to get there. The licensed engineers make about 30 to 50K more than my current salary and teachers don’t make much less than me. So rather than go to prison for murder [lol] or risk getting fired while I’m in a rage of anger from getting insulted I think moving on is best.
 
I’ve thrown myself and my family at the mercy of God today. Today I submitted my notice. I made a promise that if anyone else got sick in my family I’d take it as a sign that God wants me to move on to new waters. So now I’m getting geared up to teach school. This is something I’ve been praying about for several years. My wife went before me after asking me to wait until a couple of years after she did it. She took my place in the academy that I’m going through. They maintained my slot and now I can prepare for the State Exam. It will be time consuming, but during a time my wife is off.

Thanks for your prayers. Now if you could refocus your prayers on this new direction.

PAX
 
I am praying for you and your family and all your intentions.
