Getting Fired

[tweedman]

So, it looks like I'm going to be fired from my current job. In one way, that's a blessing, because I hate it (and I'm not very good at it). But I'm totally freaking about being able to take care of my family. I'm 42, and at the point in my career where jobs at the salary level I need don't just grow on trees. I'm having trouble sleeping, and I'm finding myself depressed and feeling worthless. I'm trying to turn it over to God, to know that He will take care of everything. But that's hard. I'm full of the sin of pride (which might be the lesson the Lord is trying to teach me). But that pride keeps me from being able to give everything over to Him.

Soooooo, I'm hoping your prayers will help me. I need prayers to help me give over the situation to God, and I need prayers to get Him to fix the situation, and I need prayers to keep me from freaking out.

If you could take a moment to lift my situation up to the Lord, I'm sure it would help. Thank you, and bless you all.

Praying for you and your job situation. Welcome to CF too!
I am kinda in the same boat and at this age I don't want to start over with a new
career but do not like my job very well either. Good luck and God Bless.

Dear Heavenly Father, bless our beloved brother and his family with comfort and peace as well as joy. Help our brother when it comes to work, if he is being fired, help him recieve another job that he will enjoy and makes him able to provide for his loved ones. Thank You Lord!

Heavenly Father, I pray for tweedman & his family during these difficult times. I pray that You'll open his eyes to Your perfect plan for his career, and that the right opportunity will come along quickly.

Amen


I can relate, tweedman. I'm not happy with what I'm doing either.

Lord Jesus, I pray that you will guide tweedman through the next few weeks and months. I pray that he will feel your presence all around him and that you will comfort him and give him a peace in his heart about his current work situation. Dear Lord please work in this situation and provide all that tweedman and his family will ever need and Lord I pray that you will help him to get rid of his pride and turn the whole situation over to you.

Amen

Thank you all so much for your prayers and your words of encouragement. I've been in a low place; you have lifted me up to the Lord. This has helped me avoid despair. I think it's also helped me to a couple of new opportunities. Nothing certain yet, but since posting my prayer request I've talked to two new potential employers and am hopeful that things will develop well (certainly as the Lord intends).

Thank you again, and bless you all.

The only way things will turn around is if you truly do give Him everything. He watches over all of his children. Pride is a rough thing to get rid of. At least it was for me. Have faith in Him and all will work out according to his will.
