A Prayer For Employment Day Three

God, our Father, we turn to You seeking Your divine help and guidance as Belle’s DH looks for suitable employment.
He needs Your wisdom to guide his footsteps along the right path, and to lead him to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. Help him to use the gifts and talents You have given him, but he needs the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.
Do not abandon him, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant him this favor we seek so that he may return to You with praise and thanksgiving for Your gracious assistance.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
 
Sorry, I’m short on time this morning. :o Big :hug1: and :crossrc:
for everyone. :grouphug:

Bee, I love your tickers! 😃 (looks like our anniversaries (and little ones) are close together!)

Wow, that’s pretty wild! If we weren’t on opposite ends of the country, we could have a play date together!
 
I have a question…why are we at post number 1800 something?

The cap is 1000, then it is closed and a new one is started!

Still praying for husbands, wives, surgeries, babies, children, and Diana.

Please keep her safe, and let her know we love and miss her!

Ooo, i think i would best tell him that you are Catholic (right?) and that if you wanted spiritual direction, you’d have gone to a priest. He is sucsessfully seperateing you both with different spiritual agendas.

And tell him to back off, or you are out of here. Try not invadeing your marriage councelling with his own personal agenda to this hideous cult.

oooo they can be jerks some times. I went to one for grief councelling. Waited 9 months to get in, and i was in a very dark place when i orriginally called for an apointment. Counting the weeks, the days and finally got in to see this guy.

He says what have you come for? I told him grief councelling. He threw up his hands in the air and said, i do not DO grief councelling, i assess and give diagnoses. In my head i am thinking, “OK” you space cadet, lets see what you have that might be helpful.

He asked so many questions, and in mid answer asked another. It was the most i ever spoke in broken english for unfinnished thoughts. Then he points to the cieling and says, “ive got it now…are you ready for this?” and i was waiting for this long speel but holy cow he says, “You are severely depressed due to the death of your son!”

“YOU THINK” i said with exasperation! He did not get the sarcasm at all.(Gee, i get a referal to him for grief councelling) and then it gets better…) He then shows me a cardboard picture list of about 6 pills, “PICK ONE”

YOU have got to be kidding i said, i do not want to go into an induced sleep for ten years, wake up and my sons death hit me then. He said, this is all i can do, if you refuse treatment, i can not help that. I told him i am hearing impared, and if i sedate, i can not care for my children. I said i want councelling to be able to cope better. “OOo, i do not do that kind of work”

So i asked for a referal, and got one after filling out a 6 page questionare. I recieved a letter from the Niagara Health Systems (a new word for the hospital care for the niagara region) saying i was refused for councelling due to the fact that my situation was not serious enough, as i was not suicidal.

Go figure!!!

So i came here, and you guys on this forum (some here must work for Dr. Quack) helped me find my way over the past 4 years.

amen to that one!

Sometimes you wonder how these people can be in this job when they obviously don’t really care about helping people. And the money they make? I think sometimes I could do a better job.
Lana, you sound like you have had so much to contend with and have had so little help, but God was there all along. I sometimes think that God does not give us the immediate help because He wants us to seek Him out.
I have been to that many psychologists, counsellors, etc etc and I have not found ONE good one.
Friday was my last session with him anyway, its just that my husband is still going to him. I am not sure whether to say something about it or not. I could email him but it could work against me if I did that… who knows?
I give up. Even the so called catholic ones are not good.
I am just going to rely on God only. Only problem is, my husband needs more intense help and does not know his faith well enough to change because of it.
 
Prayer to Saint Joseph for all sick husbands to find help.

O glorious St. Joseph,
friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
thou whose power renders impossible things possible,
come to our aid in our present trouble and distress.
Take these important and difficult affairs
which we recommend to your protection,
that they may end happily.

O dear St. Joseph,
all our confidence is in you.
Let it not be said that we have invoked you in vain,
and since you are so powerful with Jesus and Mary,
show that your goodness equals power.

Amen.

St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
pray for us and for all who invoke your aid.

**PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

the conversion of my husband, healing and salvation of our marriage, and the strong faith of our son, the conversion of all sinners in our families and of the spouses being prayed for here by CAF members,**

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Jesus, I trust in You!

Jules, i’d send the guy a letter, and give a copy to your husband after it is mailed of course. Let them know you are finished with councelling, but that your husband wishes to still seek councel, and you are in agreement with these needs.

However, if his goal is to help him in his marriage, then you have something to share. You are on the record asking him to not try and do the job of religous councellor, as he is not equipt for the job of a priest. No offense, but his beliefs are different than those of your marriage, and you do not wish his help to become a permanant wedge caused by councel to keep you apart. “what God has brought together, let no man tear usunder!”

If you actually wanted to seek religous councel, your own relion offers councelling for just that through your parish priest. Please stick to the obvious needs of my husband without bringing in new topics that will go against my beliefs, and further seperate a married couple.

Best regards in mental councelling, as you are qualified for this.
Please obstain from spiritual councel, which you are not qualified for.

I think maybe because this is a sticky and not a regular thread…just my guess. I, too, expected this one to get the lock-down about 750 posts ago. 🤷
 
Pixie Dust:

What is the difference between a sticky and regular thread? Just curious - I ought to know this!!:eek:

As sticky stays at the top of the list and doesn’t get bumped down by newer threads like a regular thread does. If you look here you can see the Sticky threads are separate from the other threads on the page.
 
Thank you all for your continued prayers. You are in mine as well. :grouphug:
