Praying for a door to open for a job

[theJB]

Hello Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

Its been a while since I posted here. I continue to pray for all of you. I had a death in my family about a month ago and have been struggling with some medical issues since.

My initial prayer request here was a long one, and not to rehash, but I had been through "hell and back" with an unfaithful drug addict, thief of a husband who cost me nearly everything. I have been out of the situation for 4 months now, and my unemployment, which barely keeps me alive, ends next week. As it stands, when I left I didnt even have enough to get another apartment, so I am basically homeless, living in a spare room with family.

I've been struggling really hard, putting tons and I mean tons of resumes out there. I am getting really down about everything. I dont understand why God would have gotten me out of a situation where I could have been killed only to let me waste away with no hopes of rebuilding my life. I have thousands and thousands in debt due to my soon to be ex, and the bills keep coming, interest keeps accruing, yet I cant seem to get my foot in the door anywhere. I have been trying and trying, applying within my field, and even for things of just above minimum wage just to get SOMETHING. Some days I spend hours and hours, losing track of all of the resumes out there, and I get not so much as even an acknowledgement of it. I've shed so many tears about this. I cant begin to rebuild any of my life, get debts paid, or even get "on my feet" until I have some income, and I just dont understand why every door is closed. I have been on some interviews that seem to go well, and promises of a "call back" that never seem to happen. I almost feel cursed.

Please, please pray for me. I need nothing short of a miracle. I need a job, desperately, one that will help me get back on my feet, get back into the "world of the living" and help me move forward to getting my own place again. I have been left with virtually nothing due to a faithless thief of a husband. Please pray for a door to open to a job, I seriously cant take much more of the rejection. Ive been through so much already. I just want to start living again.

Thank you for reading this. May you all be blessed.

Dear Lord, our sister needs a breakthrough of light in her life at this time. You have not brought her this far, to abandon her now. Please part the Red Sea for her to advance, and cause the plundering army behind her to come to nothing.

Make a way, dear Lord, because Your name is on her. Draw her to you, and perfect all that concerns her, for she is yours.

Sister, there is no curse on you that can withstand the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Stand firm in Him, put on the full armor, and declare your victory in Him. Speak to that mountain, with your authority.

Amen Paul!
Praying for you, sister...

Hi sweetie, thank God that you're living in that spare room with family. I've been where you're at, and I was roughly the same age (39). I hope and pray that you'll tone down any desperation in terms of your interviewing... might that be transparent to a prospective employer? Think about it. In fact, pray about it, and I will too. I'm so sorry that you're overwhelmed, and I hope in my heart of hearts that you'll find solace in the Lord, who loves you more than you or I can ever comprehend while on this side of heaven. Blessings, keep us posted, OK?

Praying that God will bless you with a good job, peace, comfort, strength and abundance of joy in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers. I will certainly keep that in mind with respect to not revealing any desperation. I've been fortunate enough to have 3 interviews so far, and the one I was really hoping for, which seemed I had the best shot at, was the first one I went on when I came back - almost 3 months ago. During that interview I thought I had revealed too much information, yet the hiring manager knows some of my old supervisors who are stepping forward to give positive references for me. He did not seem bothered about anything I revealed, matter of fact I think he was impressed with my technical knowledge. The position has to be approved by his upper management, and I have been hoping for it for the past 2 months as they decide whether or not to bring in someone else or merely have current staff pick up the caseload. Out of the 3 interviews so far, it was the one I was sincerely hoping for.

Just got an email this morning, they still seem to be very interested, yet I just found out the position has been put on hold for the moment as their current staff is handling the caseload and they are in a bit of a "lull".. Its frustrating because everything seemed to go "right" yet its still on hold. I know the company and I know these decisions have to come from upper management, so this guys hands are tied. I was able to connect with another former supervisor who knows this person from years ago and wants to provide me with a stellar reference. I just forwarded his information to him this morning, as he requested it "if things move forward and they are able to hire someone"...

Still keeping all options open, this job really seemed to be almost "perfect" with respect to salary, location, the type of work, and oddly, that some of my prior bosses know this company and the hiring manager. Yet, its still on hold........ I sent out so many resumes again yesterday, I lost count.... Not a single response or acknowledgement......

Please keep praying for me. Thank you all. God Bless..

Praying for a quick turnaround. Remember God opens doors no man can close, and he close doors no man can open. Keep praying and keep your faith in God.

Dear Lord, I pray urgently to You. My sister in Christ has endured much and needs Your undying Love and Wisdom and Inspiration. I know, God, that with Your Guidance You can lead her out of this dark labrynth in which she is lost. Comfort her and help her to see that there is indeed so much hope and brightness in her future. Let her know she has a purpose, and that is why You saved her when she was stricken with ailments. Walk with her, Lord, and hold firm purachse onto her hand, for You are the Rock that shall bear her sorrows and pains. Bless her Lord, and give her a hope that is everlasting. Through Jesus Christ's name I pray, Amen. God bless you during this time of difficulty, the Lord shall find for you a way out. <3

Updated PRAISE REPORT!!!!! God is SO Good!! God answers prayers. I just got a temp assignment starting on Thurs which appears to be long term. Granted, its a major pay cut, and there are no benefits, but its WORK!!!! I can finally get back into the land of the living!

Thank you all for your prayers, they mean the world to me. I am so very grateful for this new opportunity, and it happened in the nick of time as Friday my UI would have run out.

Praise God, and I am a testament to the fact that prayers are truly answered!!

Absolutely awesome. And in God, small beginnings so often lead to great things.

Praise be to God and his perfect timing. Before I read about your temp position, I was going to suggest you start there. Many big companies hire people that start off as temps. It saves them money and time so they don't have to advertise and interview. They can "try before they buy" and so can you. I will pray that a permanent job, for the right pay, hours and location will be yours sooner than you know it. Praise God that you were able to get out of your relationship. All glory is his.

Father, in Jesus name I pray that all of our sister's needs are met according to your perfect will and that you receive all the glory. Thank you for hearing and answering our prayers and for all you do, Amen
