Well, I've hesitated to ask for your help in praying about a situation b/c I really believe that whatever happens will be God's will. Or maybe I'm just fooling myself, but I havent been anxious about my situation - yet.


I've technically been out of work since late May - I thought I had a new job starting July 1 and it was the perfect time for the cut backs b/c I was having surgery and would be off in June to recover.

Well the job fell through and I was suddenly left with no prospects and our world fell apart. Thats ok tho, God has kept us and provided for us.

Well, long story short - I been placed on assignment with a temp agency since late September.

I would really like to stay on here, I'd really like them to hire me for a couple of reasons - 1. it's a REAL job (a sense of belonging and permanancy) 2. the money would be better directly from the employer. What I make now, I thank GOD for; but it barely supports my driving to work every day...but it DOES help, Praise God - I'd stay on a temp forever if I knew they would keep me. It's so much better than being out of a job.

The job market here isnt good, as I'm sure you all experience in your own cities. I've applied for countless jobs and have gotten very few call backs, much less interviews.

I am trusting God for His perfect will but I think I havent really asked him like I'm supposed to to work out this situation.

((not such a long story short post is it?? LOL))

What I'd like to ask is your help praying with me for God's will. I'd really like an answer, some kind of clue as to what is going to happen with this assignment. I know I'm here this week and perhaps the end of the month as the lady I work directly with is gone on vacation starting Friday and all next week. I'd stay through month end for sure, but no guarantee after that.

Will you join me in prayer and ask God for his will? I hate to say I'd like an answer NOW, but I really would LOL

I guess what I need is patience to just wait on God. I really cant afford to be out of work any more....I'd like to feel like I have a permanent job, if that is even possible.

Thanks!

Wow, that is a lot.
First, you don't need patience because the Bible says "tribulation worketh patience."
You don't want that.

You need Grace that is sufficient for any one of us.

Remember this, God is your father & he will see you through no matter what!

Praying for ya!

I'll be praying for you also. I understand your situation....I lost my job in Oct. after 21 years with my company. I've put in so many applications I'm cross-eyed. The last job I was in the top 8 out of 150 applicants and I didn't get the job.... Now I have another interview on Thursday and I'm once again in the top 8 out of 88 applicants..... I also desperately need a job but only want God's will. The hard part is putting your fears aside and trusting him to supply your needs. Now every time I go to prayer :praying about my job situation I will also bring your name before the Lord also.

Hugs,
Sharon Rose aka Rosebud
