PRAYER REQUEST: Heavenly Father I come to you asking for your guidence in my employment search.
Father it has been almost 8 months now and I am in need of a job. Please send me
in the right direction to secure a full time job very very soon.
I ask this in his name….Amen
PRAYER REQUEST: I’ve been looking for a job now for over a year. I’ve used all my savings and almost all my IRA. I know God has a job for me, and I am praying He will reveal it soon. I am blessed because God is my Provider.
PRAYER REQUEST: Pray for encouragement and solid job leads since I have been out of work for several months now. I pray that this recession ends soon and opportunities open up for all that are struggling at this time. I am having a difficult time staying positive.
PRAYER REQUEST: Prayer for peace during this time of uncertainty with my job search. Prayer for my friends to step up to provide emotional support. Prayer for a job soon. Many directions, one path. Make sure I am on the right path.
PRAISE REPORT: Praise God! An unexpected assessment result turned into a great job!
I volunteer with Crossroads at my church and was preparing for the discussion of Step 2- Aptitude. I enrolled in Career-Direct so I could share the experience with the group. The results surprised me, pointing me to a path I was on ten years ago but had abandoned. A fellow Crossroads volunteer encouraged me to check into a local company that used to be a competitor. Intrigued, I used the search tool and discovered an open position that really fit me. Four intense weeks later, I started a great new career!
Be encouraged! God is faithful and present in this ministry!
PRAYER REQUEST: I was downsized along with 300 others in late October. Even after back surgery on Christmas Eve, things were still positive. Please pray that I will not be discouraged as I struggle with depression. Finances are very low, and I am asking for a great new job that I love. Thank you for praying for me and all of us who are out of work.
PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray for:
1. Connections to full-time work soon. After 7+ mos. of searching, really getting winded. I teach job search at Crossroads and for VERY part-time work at an outplacement co.
2. Resiliency; ability to “bounce back” when daily routine is fraught with rejects/unreturned phone calls, emails, etc. Extends even to Christians/ contacts at church. Everyone seems too busy to listen, help.
3. Relationship w/ my wife, 2 children. Both are usually strained at this season.
4. My self-esteem. God seems silent & I feel like a loser most days, not His chosen and beloved. His silence seems like punishment.
5. Faith to believe that the things I’m doing, helping with ARE the right things and that God will bless my efforts.
6. That I will see the lessons God wants me to learn through this season; dare I ask once and for all?!
GOD BLESS YOU – WHOEVER’S PRAYING FOR THESE THINGS!!!!
THANK YOU!

PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray for strength for my ex-husband as he job hunts. Please don’t let the rejections he has received harm his self esteem. Please let his potential employers understand that he left his previous position for good reasons and that he would be an asset to their company. I ask that He provide patience and love during this stressful time and that good news will be heard soon.
