I received word form my employer of 31 years that I must make a decision to return to full duty, retire, or face termination. I have until May 31st to act. They allowed that much time only because my wife is out of the country, caring for her dying mother. I have not told my wife, as she has enough on her plate right now. I could probably go back to work, but my doctor advises against it. As well, the Lord is calling me to the next stage of my life. I must pull the plug and abandon myself to God’s divine providence. I have been talking the talk. It is time to begin walking. Your faithful prayer support has aided me thus far, and will support me from here on. God bless each of you!
Dear Jim i feel for you so much.You have been so brave and faithful.Trust in the Lord for the next chapter of your life.our health is of much greater importance than your job.I know this will make things tough financially but God will make a way available.
(A Prayer for you Jim)
May today be all that I need it to be.
May the peace of God and the freshness the Holy Spirit
rest in my thoughts, rule in my dreams and conquer all
my fears. May God manifest himself today in ways that I
have never experienced. May my joys be fulfilled, my dreams
become closer and my prayers be answered. I pray that my faith
enters a new height, that my territory is enlarged and that
I make one step closer to my destiny. I pray for peace,
health, happiness and true and undying love for God.
Amen
Colossians 1:9-12
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
THE PRAYER
BE AT PEACE
(By Saint Francis De Sales)
Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life;
rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise,
God, whose very own you are,
will lead you safely through all things;
and when you cannot stand it,
God will carry you in His arms.
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;
the same understanding Father who cares for
you today will take care of you then and every day.
He will either shield you from suffering
or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace,
and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
Dear Lord please bless Jim and his wife as they have concerns for the future.I ask You to ease their suffering and worry.Please bless the wife’s mother as she is very ill.I ask You to please bless each and every member of this family.In Jesus name Amen
