Wow. I kinda forgot to check here the last few days. Your love and compassion have humbled me. I had to go to my bedroom and kneel down to thank Him for your prayers and encouragement and for His work. I cried those, "Thank you for loving me God", tears.
The preacher said last month that our prayers are more powerful than we know.
Even while we are praying, God is moving.
There is a chorus that means a lot to me when I see a glimpse of God moving. It goes kinda like this.
Just in time,
just in time,
once again the water turns to wine,
just about the time I couldn't need it anymore, I get a little glimpse of Heaven, just in time.
Prayer for Work

I am relying on the Lord to help me find a job as well. I thought I had the perfect situation lined up, but it was taken away yesterday. I keep thinking that there has to be something better out there for me. It is the only way I will make it through this.
Good luck to all of you in your job search. This too will pass.

Zoe (Life man) and Teri (headhorn lady) and everyone else,
I sold furniture (sofa, chairs, bedrooms, mattresses, etc) for 5 years. Then one Friday, I was let go. I went to other stores but no success. It was hard to try to explain why they let me go. I did not agree with what the manager said, but what can you do? I finally took a job selling cell phones. It stank. I quit April 15. I have tried to find something but I never try very hard and I get very put off easily. I blame it on God. I know that is wrong, so I feel guilty and blame myself for being lazy, afraid and without faith.
I feel at a loss but I must get a job soon to pay rent for July and gas and food, etc. I have peace that GOd will provide but time is running very short indeed.
I don't think I want to stay in sales or even retail. Trying to get a temp teaching job has not worked. Monster, Careerbuilder, etc have only yielded limited results and none have panned out. One temp place may a project soon but I am on hold and my contact was on vacation last week. Most other temp places have not responded to my e-mails.
I feel almost blacklisted. I know that is not the case. With my resume, it screams problem here. Overqualified, can't find a life, must be whacko. What's wrong with this guy. He's old too and schooling was a long time ago.
So, I am looking for what amounts to a mighty work of God. I have seen him working to help me fight the anxiety and depression. I know He is working. I just can't hear Him and I don't trust my judgement anymore. The chatroom is helping me stay afloat emotionally and I appreciate all the good feedback I get from you guys.
So, this will have to be some week or so. God knows His plans. Plans to give me a hope and a future. Thank you Father in advance cause you are all I have. Thank God He is all I need.
i will keep you guys in the loop and in my prayers.

Hey everyone, As Don knows I am in the same situation. I also am looking for the right job and really want God to direct me to the right situation. I have no idea what that is but trust that God does. I would appreciate it very much if you all would include me in your prayers as well. I will keep you in mine. Thank you all and God Bless.
Thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement. God answered our prayers and my husband started his new job toay. He had been out of work since Dec. and God has sustained us. We are so grateful. Again, thanks to everyone. This forum is truly a place to get help. I also posted a request in the parent section for advice on dealing with adult children...I appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Darla
Thanks,

So, here is an update.
Unicorn started a new job today (7/28) and it is the place that took their offer away last month. Wow.
Darla's husband started a new job July 8th. Great.
I have not heard from Jeff. I hope your are okay bud.
I have talked with Zoe but I don't know your status on the job front.
I am delivering Pizzas for Domino's but it's only a few hours a week and barely pays for gas and a few groceries. I rent from a famliy member so they have been understanding but I will have to leave by October if I can't pay some rent and utilities. My car has been acting up also and even kept me from working a full shift Friday night. Only God knows how and when things will get better. My hope is still strong
and your support continues to help me. Thank you.

Hey Don, Sorry to hear about your struggles, but glad you are keeping the right attitude. I'm having a hard time staying positive lately. I have no clue what to do for work. I am trying to not get depressed again but those quick thoughts of "why don't you just give up and end it" creep in once in awhile. I just feel drained and tired of going in circles. Oh well, I'll just keep praying and looking for signs. Thanks for thinking of me and your prayers are appreciated Unicorn.
Good to hear from you Jeff. Hang in there bud. I still get those defeatist thoughts and I am still fighting them. They are scary but they do go away.
Thanks for the prayers Teri.
So today, my car stopped during an errand at 12. I was able to get it jump started (I bought a heavy duty set of cables years ago). I called my mechanic friend and he said to bring it in.
Long story short, my alternator was bad. My friend was able to replace it before they closed at 6. He said to call him later about the bill. Wow.
God worked a lot together today and I thank Him for being with me and providing.

SCDon,
I pray for you that God will answer your prayers. this forum has been such a great help and inspiration to me. I read a lot of posts and now I am starting to reply and share what I have learned. Trust God whole heartedly and talk to Him about your situation. I am truly amazed at how He worked things out for us. this has helped to increase my faith. I still have times when I tend to worry about other issues. I try to remind myself of God's faithfulness. Continue in His Word and we are waiting for your answered prayer.
