Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate your prayers- I am in a predicament. I will need to pick up a job soon so I can eat, however I have a number of hurdles to overcome so I can work. I am highly qualified, I have 3 associates degrees from community college, 1 bachelor's degree from Central Penn College, and also a micromasters from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology), an elite top flight school, I also have my CompTIA A+ certification as a computer technician. However I have had a severe mental illness called schizophrenia and I have not worked for 20 years. There is very little chance on earth anyone would EVER hire a person like me, with my background, I may even have difficulty finding employment as a janitor. Also as of now I feel that I am highly incompetent in my line of work, I might even get fired within days of getting hired once they find out how incompetent I am. I need many miracles so I can work and hold a job, the good news is that starting salary in my field (information security) is very high, $150,000/year to start, if God blesses me with a job in my field I can make alot of money for the church and the poor. Please pray that God blesses me with a good job in information security and that He makes a way for me to work and that I am competent in my field and can excel on the job! I also need a miracle healing of my disease (schizophrenia). I believe that if I got healed I would take right off, I could make a name for myself and get into my field. I have a plan to go to cyber security bootcamp later in the year, that is 8 hours a day of intense instruction for 5 days straight, if I can go to that that will get me up to speed fast, they will teach me everything. Thank you!

I pray you can find an understanding employer who either does not care about the personality because you can work well independently or even better, one that has compassion and understanding and can help you thrive by accepting who you are. I pray too that you have self-esteem and good confidence, that where you see yourself as lacking brings you to trust God even more. That you can see that God is on your side in the workplace. I pray too that you and your employer have patience and flexibility in scheduling, goals and even salary. That you would find a good fit and even be able to expand your work social environment and be a witness for Christ. May God grant wisdom and efficiency in your search.
If I can share a praise report on jobs, I once asked God for a "decent" job. Soon thereafter I found myself at a company that was even nationally ranked as a top employer in the entire USA. Talk about decent, God really brought it out of nowhere, working me into a field that I had no real experience. Of course no path is exactly the same but God is good and He is really on your side for your employment because it is His will for most to work. God bless.
