"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." ~1 Cor 16:13 (NASB)
As I was getting my day started this morning and looking at all the work that I need to get done, I started to get dizzy! Sometimes we get so busy that we forget what is important. This is when I felt a strong burden on my heart, and I didn't know what it was. That was when I made a commitment to God, I will open my Bible and pray anytime that I feel this burden on my heart.
If we take the time out of our busy lives to simply take some nice, deep breaths... be grateful that we are even able to struggle through this life... open our favorite translation of the Bible and pray... this will solve most problems. There is always a different and superior viewpoint, and that viewpoint is God's. We need to ask to share in His vision and to see things from His perspective. It is tough, maybe painful, and cannot be done for the purpose of making us feel better.
Take a moment to reflect... what are you grateful for?
Thank you, Jesus, for the tribulations and trials through which you have sustained me. I may complain and grumble about my current situation, but teach me to see things from your viewpoint. Show me your Way!
I am currently unemployed, and have been so since April of 2009. Since that point in time, I have tried to get many different types of jobs. I am an accountant. I have my B.S. in Accounting and will graduate with my M.S. Accounting in May, receiving my diploma in August. I have excellent retail skills, an aesthetic eye for detail, I enjoy editing and making final presentations, and have received multiple compliments on my thoughtfulness and diction. I do not have very much work experience. I've had several jobs... more than my husband, but none for much longer than a year. I've worked as bottom rung customer service, supervisor, and assistant manager at retail stores, internal audit at a gaming company, tax associate at a tax preparation firm, accounting associate at a retail conglomerate, and accountant at a credit union. During this time, I was finding out what was important to me and figuring out what I wanted out of work. I kept up with my accounting education, not because it was my most highly desired occupation, but because I wanted a highly paid and stable position. Well, contracted economy and continued technological advances later, I am not sure if it is going to be possible for me to make it in this country anymore. I am in so much debt, because of the gamble I took in my education. I took a gamble on this economy, and I lost. I am a risk-taker. Why didn't I see this one coming? I keep on praying to God that I be granted a fortune, or that all of my debts be forgiven or paid on my behalf, so that I can volunteer as an occupation for the rest of my life. I don't need anything in this world, and to be quite honest, I'm not sure if I want anything anymore. But maybe that is not a full description of how I feel, but that does cross my mind a lot.
I am young, dejected, confused, and discouraged. I am confident in my skills and talents, but have no opportunity to exercise them.... at least not that I can see. Please pray for me that God shows me where I can use my skills and talents and make an impact for His Kingdom! My debtors will want those monthly payments... how can I pay? I have no income. Pray that God oversees my situation and pray for a financial miracle in my life! My financial debts act as a huge obstacle in my life. Anytime I think of things that I can do, I am haunted by my debts. I live in a small, backwards town that doesn't offer much growth... except in liquor stores, tobacco shops, auto shops, bars, and restaurants. Please pray that God helps me see and secure another growth opportunity!
God doesn't need anything from us, but we need Him! I need you in every aspect of my life, Lord, AND I specifically pray for your deliverance in my finances! I think that is the word that I have been missing all along.... and! All of this time I have been praying and using the word "but"... that wasn't what I meant at all! Please pray with me the the Lord oversees and guides every aspect of my life AND specifically delivers me from my debt commitments! Also pray with me that God shows me where I can use my talents, skills, and future newly acquired resources to make an impact for His Kingdom!
Thank you for your prayers!
