I am not working and would really appreciate prayers. There are no really good prospects for me at this moment. The only job that I am still in the running for is basically…I wouldn’t even know how to describe it. If I get a job offer, I will take the job (for the money) and pray for acceptance that at this point I don’t have a good career stepping stone. It will definetly set me back in my career development. And as I say, I am more than willing to still do a good job and pray to God for acceptance and strenght.

However, and this is where I am hoping the bulk of the prayers will be. Please pray that I will learn whatever it is God wants me to. I feel like God knows how important career is to me and that He is using that as the thorn in my side ie I am never succeeding career wise because he knows it is the pain that will keep me coming back to Him.

I can’t help but think God is knocking on my head trying to tell me something and I can NOT for the world of me figure it out. I want to humble myself to His will. I want to know what He requires from me and I don’t want to loose my faith in the process. Trust me, it is VERY hard for at this point to NOT turn my back on him

Inviting the Angels and Saints to join us in praying for you, especially Our Lady and St Joseph.
 
***Prayer to St. Joseph for Employment

Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present inability to support my family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.***

*** 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 death.

Amen

I pray that you will find work. I would suggest to you to say a rosary novena that is the entire rosary 20 decades for nine days in petition and nine days in thanksgiving.
 
Hi, cmscms! You’ve been in my prayers since the thread about babysitting the rather unruly children. It seems like there’s more available in service type jobs than what we’ve known as career jobs. Is there any service that you can recognize that needs performing that might start you in your own business?

Perhaps you could work through vocational rehab (city/state) for training in another line that might in some way overlap with your current training and desire? Other than that, maybe you can keep contacting the companies where you’d like to work, in person, as they’ll know you’re serious since you took the time to go there, and it’s more difficult to tell someone “no,” eyeball to eyeball.

Have you checked the areas 30 minutes to an hour away, if you’re in a small area or a medium sized city? Have you tried to sell a business upon adding your line of work, if they don’t already have it? Or upon adding another position, if they do already have it?

Networking has its rewards. You might keep in touch with pastors of various churches, as they often hear about openings and you might better fill a need than someone else they know. Also, volunteering in related fields and attending community meetings may get your name and line of work in the minds of the community shakers and movers.

Best of luck to you in both your job search and in your spiritual quest. You have my continued prayers.

Would I use a normal rosary and simply do it 4 times? What would I offer the rosay up for ? And would I go through all of the mysteries. This sounds like a good idea, please give more specifics on how to do it

Thanks
 
I pray that you get a job soon! and I pray you confide completely in God and allow him to show you the way :gopray:

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hi CM I am old enough to understand many more things now… than when i was younger,it is easier to look back and see the Lords guidence in my life than to look forward. The Lord has taught me through looking at the lives of The People he has honoured by placing their story in His Bible.
They all had strengths,weaknesses, periods of little faith and periods of great faith. The lord tells us many things and here are two…My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-3 and Proverbs3:6 Acknowledge HIM in your life and HE…WILL…direct thy paths. Pray as Jesus taught us to pray …to the father first
 
Thanks ev everybody, I think this is going to be a long road. Pleasea keep praying

Use a “normal rosary” and offer it up for your intention. Say the Apostles Creed, Our Father and three Hail Mary’s then begin with the Joyful, followed by the Luminous, Sorrowful, and the Glorious Mysteries after the last mystery the Crowning of Mary finish it as you would any Rosary.

I have done this many times. I have always been aided in my intention. If you have any more questions you are welcome to contact me. God Bless You Adrift
