    Lord, I reach out to You with a heavy heart. I feel as if there is no where to turn and no one to turn to. I have prayed and asked and all have fell on deaf eyes. What am I doing wrong? I have been out of work for almost a year now and no matter what i do no one seems to want to hire me. I am aware that I not the only person that is out of work and needs a job and I am also unaware that there are people that are in worse situations than myself..but Lord you know my heart. I want to be of help and yet I can not help myself. I need a job to help my family and myself as well as others but ..look at me I am in situation that is I know I don’t want to be in. My faith in You Lord is what keeps me going each day..hoping that maybe this is the day that someone will call me..maybe this is the day that I can see that there is a tomorrow for me as it once was..What has it come to this, what in the world did I do that was so wrong that I must pay in sorrow at this time. I want to work in the medical industry because I enjoy helping people but I need to be certified in certain areas which will require schooling..who will pay my bills if I went to school? Should I go and create another bill for tuition so I can get the education necessary?..I have been praying for answer to this and the need for financial assistance…but no one is listening to me and everything keeps getting further and further behind..Lord why is my cry has fallen on deaf eyes.  Why have my prayers gone unanswered…

    I AM TOO EXPRENICING A SITUATION SOMEWHAT LIKE YOURS. I BELIEVE GOD PUTS US IN THESE TYPES OF SITUATION BECUASE HE WANTS US TO INCREASE OUR FAITH IN HIM. HE WANTS US TO MENTION THINGS TO HIM OF WHAT WE ARE IN NEED OF AND ONCE WE MENTION IT TO HIM NO LONGER HAVE IT IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS. HOWEVER, US AS HUMANS ITS ALWAYS STUCK IN THE BACK OF OUR MINDS AND WE ALWAYS THINK THE “WHAT IF”. FAITH IS HAVING NO DOUBT IN MIND. SOMETIMES THAT IS HARD. ITS HARD TO GO WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS US STUCK IN A BAD SITUATION. CAN YOU GO A DAY WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT GETING A JOB OR THINKING ABOUT WHAT IF YOU DONT GET A JOB? MOST LIKEY NOT. I BELIEVE GOD IS TRYING TO SHAPE US WHERE ONCE WE ASK HIM SOMETHING AND BELIEVE WE SHALL RECIEVE IT WE NO LONGER THINK ABOUT IT. BUT START TO THANK HIM AND THINK OF RECIVING IT. SO I CHALLENGE YOU FOR THE NEXT WEEK DONT THINK ABOUT IT AT ALL. TONIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED SAY YOUR PRAYERS CONFESS THE THINGS YOU NEED FROM GOD, AND HOW YOU WILL BENIFIT FROM IT. THANK GOD IN ADVANCE AND THEN LEAVE IT ALONE. DONT THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU JUST GAVE IT OVER TO GOD.

    DONT THINK ABOUT THE “WHAT IF” ANYMORE ITS LIKE YOUR GIVING GOD SOMETHING TO WORK ON THAT YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO BUT STEADY TRYING TO TELL HIM WHAT AND HOW TO DO IT. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE, AND LET GOD DO THE WORK.

    START TALKING IN THIS WAY ” GOD GOT SOMETHING PLAN FOR ME, ME GOING WITHOUT A JOB FOR SO LONG IS FOR A GOOD REASON, GOD IS WAITING TO GIVE ME THAT RIGHT JOB, IM GOING TO GET A JOB INTERVIEW IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, IM GOING TO GO FOR A JOB TRAINING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, IM GOING TO HAVE A JOB IN THE NEXT MONTH. GOD DOES THINGS NOT TO HURT US BUT TO HELP US. I PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I HOPE YOU SEE THE WONDERFUL BLESSING GOD HAS FOR YOU. JUST REACH UP IN GET IT. IM ALSO GOING TO TAKE THE ADVICE I GAVE YOU AND USE IT FOR MYSELF. I BEG YOU TO BELIEVE, LET GO AND LET GOD.

    I SEND YOU MY LOVE, MY FAITH AND MY BLESSING BECAUSE I KNOW WITH GOD ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

    I can sense the desperation in your prayer.If we go throught he scriptures many have been in this position.Please hang in there. God is with you. read James :2 ” Count it all joy when you go through trials of various kinds, because trials produce perseverance and when perseverance has completed its course you will come out complete lacking nothing.” This is your time for perseverance and what the Bible says is the truth you will come out complete and lacking nothing.

    I don’t know if this will help, but here goes. I was in the same situation some years ago. I had a college degree, was and still is a single mother, and couldn’t find a job any where. FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD, so I prayed and went filling out applications and no one called. Things came up and I gave up. Almost a year later I started looking again, this time desperately. Ended up working at McDonald’s, but kept praying. I was there maybe two month when a guy walked in off the street and said MS LADY, I DON’T KNOW WHY I AM TELLING YOU THIS, BUT YOU WON’T BE HERE LONG. About a week or two later I get a call about a job I had applied for a year earlier. Their hiring freeze was over and I got the job.

    I ended up going back to school and changing my major.  I got a job in my field and the Lord has used me to minister to a lot of people. So don’t give up. Ask the Lord what is his will and help you to surrender to it. The moment I surrendered, everthing started falling in place. Be blessed

    God holds all those who trust in Him. He loves us, He loves you. No matter what you are doing, no matter what you are going through God is there in your pain, holding you tight. He will never let you go if you cling to Him for comfort. Pray to Him tonight. Talk to Him like you would a friend, be respectful, no need to add “thou’s” and “shalts” be as you are. But be respectful. Lay on Him your burdens, ask Him to give you strength. Maybe your saved but you haven’t been walking the path, pray that God will bring you back to the spot where you left off, pray that God would bring you back on your feet, dust you of and get you moving again on the journey to knowing Him and serving Him. Maybe you have never been right with God. Maybe you’ve never fully given your life to Him. God never wastes pain, and maybe this is the time where you bow the knee and say “God, I need you”. If that feels like something you want to do, pray this prayer with me now,

    God, I need you, I want to follow you. Lord, I just can’t do this on my own. I need you to help me. I’ve tried my whole life to do this myself and it’s gotten me no where. This pain, this trial that I’m in, It’s woken me up. It’s opened my eyes to the fact that, I need you. God I need you in my life. From this day forward, I give my life to you, to trust you, to believe in you, to have faith in you. That you are good, and your love endures forever, that you care about me, love me, and will guide me all the days of my life. I pray this in your Son’s name, Jesus Christ - Amen

    In all of my being I can say thank you all for taking the time to listen to me. It was as if no one even cared that I even existed especially when I am in need. I have always helped others and enjoyed that I could do something to help.yet when does my turn come?? I have faith in God for He knows my pain and have blessed me too during this time. It is that this seems to be different and the duration is longer..maybe this is why I am anxious and feel the need to pray for patience while I wait. I love my God and praise Him each and every day for the breathe that I take when I rise..I just want to make a difference in this world and not just be a number in the status quo. Each time I speak with someone I try and make a connection but it seems like people are more interested in my qualifications which they do not have than helping me with my concerns. To me that is sad because we all have something to offer. I want to get into to the medical industry and this is new to me but each time I think of it I smile within my heart because I’ve never worked in the medical industry nor ever had any desire to do that?? If this is what God wants me to do I will talk more to Him about it. I will also do as suggested and leave the things that are my worries and concerns with Him. I will do so starting today because you are right..I must let Him do what it is for me that he wants to do for me instead of stopping or interferring with His works. I promise to let you all know my progress no matter what and thank you so very much for being the angels which God sent to me. Yes miracles do happen, even for me.For the first time I feel that I matter and am not alone and that I must let go and let God. Thank you Lord for speaking to me through them.

    Thank you for sharing so openly with us.  We know that you are walking through some very difficult times in your life right now.  Do not give up.  Although life is never easy, things can improve for you.

    Thank Him for His faithfulness.  He is trustworthy and you can praise Him for that. He will empower you to rise above the situation and function with His peace.  Be bold and courageous and honor Him.  This is the time to draw close to the Lord.  He will strengthen you and encourage you.

    May the Lord your God lift you up and restore you by the power of His Holy Spirit.  May your heart be blessed with the knowledge of God’s great love for you.  Psalm 16 says that in His presence is fullness of joy.  May you experience His presence in ways you’ve never known before now.  God bless you with His peace.

    It has been a day that the Lord has made for not only myself but for all those that are in need of prayer at this time. The world and its people are crying out for help from all ends of the world and are turning to God for help and guidance. Lord I’d like to say thank you on behalf of all those that have stood in the gap for me as I stand in the gap for those that are unable to step up to the plate because of their need..these are people Lord that I know and don’t know and yet I feel that they all need as I do for you to come into their lives and touch them. These people are my family and friends, my neighbors, my church community, myself. Lord help them, help us, guide them, guide me..show where they, I can find the resources that You Lord have for Your children.

    Lord Thank you for the days which brings about new opportunities and light and for the evening moonlight which welcomes the end of a day in our of our lives bearing the hope for a new tomorrow. Thank you Lord because with each new day bears new hope for Your children and new way that we all can see how only You provide the miracles that we all individually need and that gift comes from You only.

    Today Lord, I am happy knowing that You are my provider…tomorrow is my hope but today I am happy for what I have and what I can look forward to. Thank you Lord
