Bujinim
Disciple of Prayer
Hi, I am asking for prayer for a job and a boost in faith that it WILL happen. I was laid off in a company downsizing in December. I am highly skilled with much experience in my chosen line of work but I didn't go to school for one extra year to get a certain degree that wasn't required at the time I was in school. It has just been recently that my 5-year B.S. degree is no longer given at school but has been replaced by a 6-year degree. I am finding that despite all my great work experience I keep getting rejected for not having that extra year of education -something I can't control. I was laid off twice before in my career and that extra year didn't matter and I don't want to keep focusing on it- I believed that God had a place for me and there is a company that wants my experience and doesn't care about the extra year but I am having a hard time holding on to that faith because I am having many more rejections than I remember from past job hunting. I am a very spiritual Christian and even have assembled an 'Angel Committee' to assist me as I read in a spiritual book. Aside from much daily prayer to God, I hold a meeting and talk with my "Job Finding" Angel Committee every morning but nothing is happening and it is getting harder and harder to even apply for jobs, reach out to colleagues, and stay positive and patient. I have no one to support me and I'm an older worker who had hoped to work a few more years to be able to retire and spend my time doing charity work in a field for which I have much passion. I ask for prayer that God and my Angels will match me with the right employer soon and in the meantime, help with my anxiety and the depression that has started to overtake me. I know I have a lot to offer an employer but I'm starting to feel worthless and I'm very scared.
