    Unexpected death - how to help non-believers?

    A good friend of mine unexpectantly lost his dad in a motorcycle accident yesterday. My friend is 21 years old. He is not a believer. He knows I am a believer, and never argues or debates my faith. He has several times mentioned that he thinks its good I do believe. I have tried to bring him...

    In prayer, looking for guidance.

    Doctors say they see reasons to leave them alone and reasons to make second attempt to get the stone removed. Doctor said not sure which way he would choose if it was his health.

    In prayer, looking for guidance.

I am still not in any pain and have a 2nd attempt scheduled for October 1st. Just not sure I should go through with it. I have been in...

    A Praise.

    A follow up to the original post. My friend has not returned to church. Unfortunately my work schedule is going to change, meaning I won't be going on my friend's free night. I honestly don't predict him going if I am not there. Besides praying, not sure what else I can do.

    Scared at 46 years old.

    Prayer request please.

    At this time, I am working as much overtime as I can. I have considered going back to school or doing online classes. My background is IT. In February I worked 19 days straight. Looks like I may do another 19 before the contract ends. I will also look into courser.org.

    My job of 16 years is going away in the next month or so. I have been looking here in the Atlanta area. I am 46 years old, so changing careers is very scary, but I am college educated and do learn new roles quickly. I am praying that God provides me with patience to wait for His timing. Also...

    Scared at 46 years old.

    I am 46 years old. The good job I have had for 16 years is going to go away in the next month or so. I am struggling on what to do. I do have a four year degree in Criminal Justice, but most agencies aren't interested in incoming 46 year olds. I am not really interested in Law Enforcement...

    A Praise.

Finally on March 2nd, he joined me at church. He also joined me the following night on March 3rd. I now pray...

    Prayer request please - job situation

    Thanks for all of the replies and kind words. I am in my mid 40s and college educated. It is scary being in mid 40s and not knowing what to do jobwise. The men's group at our church and various family and friends have been praying for me. I know something positive will eventually happen. I worry...
