Wink in the same boat

Hold On To Your Faith. I Was Working For One Of The Best Contractors In Town.(so I Thought) I Lost My Job The Week Of Thanksgiving. At First, I Did Not Understand. Why Me? Everything Happens For A Reason, God Has A Plan For All Of Us. The Not So Good Side Is, I Am Over Qualified To Work For Other Companys. I Can Move Out Of Town And Leave Friends And Family Or Stay And Find Something Else. Either Way It Is Out Of My Hands I Will Do What God Leads Me To Do. I Think God Wants Me To Stay And Start My Own Company But, He Is Also Teaching Me Patience. Sometimes He Just Does Not Give You The Answer Right Away. I Also Have Children. I Just Keep My Head High, And My Faith Strong. Everything Will Work Out.

Thumbs up ~Patrick and CD LA Welcome~

CD LA and Patrick, I have also been in a similar situation before, and I thought nothing could get better, but I never lost my faith; no matter how hard the situation became. I put my troubles and life at God's doorstep, and Believed He knew what was best for me, and that things would get better, if I had Hope and kept a Positive outlook on my life. I know it's not easy taking life one day at a time, but just know that you have a wonderful journey ahead, and even though there will be obstacles that we will have to overcome, God is holding our hands each step of the way. I once worked so hard at one point that I was getting little sleep, and just making enough to pay my bills, and I was under a lot of stress, and I ended up worrying so much that I had a panic attack one night; which put me in the hospital. It felt like I was having a heart attack. Worrying does no good, but just makes things worse. Keep your heads up, and stay strong. I and many other's will be praying for and with you. Don't stop Believing. This site has helped me so much, and many things in my life have changed for the better. I owe my Thanks to everyone here, for all of the prayers and support, which have really turned my life around. Welcome to Praying.org, and I hope to hear more from the both of you soon. Check out the Video's and Blogs. God Bless you both.

Your friend in prayer-
-Jess

I too have been in a somewhat similar situation - remember God only gives us what we can handle. We don't need to know why, just that He is with us every step of the way.

God bless you.

Patrick, it is your professed faith in GOD that will give you the strength to continue on. All things are orchestrated by GOD and He has a definite plan in place for your life. There may be something coming in the near future that will require the strength you have now to endure those circumstances. He will never allow anything to happen to you that you cannot overcome. You sound like one of the strongest people I have ever spoken to. I know your source of strength is coming from your sheer faith in GOD. Stay strong and faithful in GOD, Patrick. He sees, hears, knows, and understands everything you are experincing right now. Trust in GOD. He has a plan. You will know it soon. GOD bless. We love you deeply in Christ Jesus.

Patrick I also have been struggling with unemployment for 0ver 4 years. It has been tuff and just about cost me my life from excessive worrying and my entire life savings. At 52 I am starting over again. I live with my son and daughter in law and I love them very much but I have decided to go back home and try to make it there. They have moved 3 times the past 2 years and I have also with them... It has cost me a lot. I barely have enough left to go home but I am going home. Please pray for me to.

Father God I come humbly before your throne with Patrick's financial difficulties which are becoming more than he can bare Father. Father I beg and plead with you to open doors for dear Patrick to find an amazing job again that will more than fulfill his needs and provide him a car and start up bonus to get him going. Father I pray also for me and all the others that need your blessing today Father for a job that will more than provide for us. Trusting in you God I ask these blessings and favor in the name of Our Lord and Savoir JESUS CHRIST.

AMEN

Praise God it is on the way!!!!

Patrick,

Welcome to praying.org!!!! I am in a similar situation. I have been off work for over a year. Everytime I think there is no way out, God makes a way. Keep your faith.

Be blessed,
