Job loss appears possible
« on: April 14, 2009, 11:38:47 AM »
Yesterday I was contacted by the HR of my employment have been notified that I may be "retired". I ask your prayers for me that if it is God's will  I be retained as I am 57 y.o. and still a little young to retire and in this economy may have difficulty in finding a job . If "retired, your prayers to stregnthen my resolve that this God's will for me and that I am able to accept it graciously and with thanksgiving.

Blessed Holy Week!

Lord have mercy!

I think though, that you have the correct attitude on this situation, given what you have written. If the Lord is arranging things for you to serve Him, I pray you do so with joy!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
                           and both come out of your mouth

Glory to God in all things.  I am now "retired " from my previous job and looking for work. Thank you for your prayers about the specific situation and I would welcome your continued Prayers while I start my job hunt today.

Your former employer's short sightedness will be your future employer's gain!

Please keep us informed on developments, as I can hardly wait to learn just where God wants you to be to serve Him!

Joining the roll call of those who are losing their jobs and need prayers.  Mine is ending in August.

I'm still in the upbeat "aw, shucks, everything's gonna be fine!" phase, so I'd like prayers that I'll be able to put that positive attitude to work now so things will be easier when I inevitably start getting depressed about it, say around July.   :o

Thank you! And I will pray for my fellow los-ees too!

(P.S. My husband says not to worry and is giving me lots of help.  So prayers of THANKSGIVING also for such a wonderful, supportive husband!  :angel:)
