Prayer for a job

[faerieevaH]

PLEASE... pray for me that I may keep this job untill I find that great starting job within my field!

Hello all, just like most of the world, Belgium is going through a difficult time economically, and of course those of us that are trying to get that very first job are having a very hard time of it, no matter how high educated (or not) we may be. After all, why should you hire someone fresh out of school when you can also get a thirtyfive year old, experienced worker for the same money?

Anyhow... for the moment I have a job. A boring job in administration that I do not really like, but that pays the bills untill I find something that I'm qualified for. Unfortunately, my temp contract ends in about a month.(I was replacing someone on maternity leave). While both my supervisor, as her boss, as just about every staffmember has been urging the 'big boss' here to offer me a renewal, he doesn't really want to hire someone on. Not even when one person is retired, the person I'm replacing only comes back part time, two others are reducing their hours, and a fifth one is ill 80 % of the time.

I'll probably know something by tomorow. So please pray?
Be loved and blessed,

Eva

Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are dedicated to labor, obtain for them the grace to work in the spirit of love and faithfully to place their responsibilities above their own desires. Help them to work with joy and gratitude. Let them consider it an honor to use and develop the gifts they have received from God. Aid them to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience. Help them to work above all for the glory of God and the coming of his kingdom.
May they remember that they are to give an account of the gifts and talents they have received.
Amen



Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable employment, and receive just payment for their labor, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



O God, the Creator of all things, you have made us in your own image so that we may find joy in creative work: have mercy on all those who are unemployed, and those who find their work dull, especially for those recently graduated. Help us to build a society where all may have work and find joy in doing it, for the good of our world and the glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.



God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment. I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.



Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment, and receive just payment for their labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God, who made us in your image and intended us for creative work; look with love on those of us who are unemployed. Help us to enjoy life together with those who have work
and to understand what kind of help we need to give one another, whether in paid employment or not. Guide the leaders of our country, that they may take wise decisions which will benefit us all. Finally we ask you Lord to guide us in the knowledge that we all have worth in ourselves and that we are all of equal value in your eyes, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.



O God, Who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he be converted and live, grant, we beseech Thee through the intercessions of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin and all the Saints an increase of laborers for Thy Church, fellow laborers with Christ to spend and consume themselves for souls through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in Unity of the Holy Spirit world without end. Amen.

That God will bless you with continued employment.

And may God guide you to a more fulfilling job in the fullness of time!

Wow, the whole world's economy is in the pits, isn't it?

Well, hang in there. I too am looking for a new job but there aren't that many around. Regardless though I will still seek after God and let him worry about my employment. Just seek God first and things WILL work out in the end.

I'll be praying for you!

I know what you mean, Grommit. It's the reason I may not pursue a Master's degree (who wants to study hard if it means getting nothing in the end?).

In the meantime, I'll be praying for faerieeva.

 

[faerieevaH]

I have an M.A. plus a Bachelors in two different fields... *sighs*
Anyhow, keep praying all... I should (hopefully) know by the end of the day.

Thank you for all those who have prayed! I just heard that my contract will indeed be renewed at least till august, which gives me more breathing room again to find a better job! Thank you all for joining me in prayer!

Be loved and blessed,

Eva
