Letting it go.

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Letting it go.

Post by TPK »

Hi friends,

While trying to get out of an extreamly stressful job, I ended up in the worst job of my life. ::facepalm:: ::dang:: Thing is, you can't just quit a job over here or you don't get any unemployment pay for 4 - 12 weeks. I'm "up a creek" right now. ::facepalm::

Not very many jobs in my area but I have managed to apply for 4. One last weekend, and three this weekend.

I know that I need to put this in "higher hands". Not easy to do though. ::doh::

Feel free to pray about it with me if you wish. I'd appreciate it! ::tu:: Thanks! ::handshake::

I know it's hard to do, but try not to worry.

Tom try not to stress or worry about it. Put it in God's hands and trust that the best will happen. It may not be now, but I'm certain it will happen. With God all things are possible. Hang in there brother.... ::pray::

Tom, as already evidenced by the responses to your post, some of your AAPK family will be glad to pray for you as you a led to the proper job. We should not hesitate to ask the Lord's blessing and guidance at any point in our life. I'm guilty of so many times going ahead without asking the Lord's help on certain issues. :( Things are a lot easier with His help!

Father, bless Tom with a new job quickly. I pray there will be no lapse or lack in his finances. I pray for a job he will enjoy. I pray for a job that pays more than he is expecting. I pray for a job where he can be a blessing and be blessed himself. I pray it will be a job that will allow a schedule that is best for him and his family. Bless him, Father, for Your glory in Jesus's name. Amen
Take care and God bless,

It can be the easiest thing you could do in all of the difficulties you are experiencing.
The Lord will honor your effort to change your labor.
He may have something very special for you and your family.
He does require your heart. Sometimes we are tested.
I will pray for you and your family.

Hey Tom, don't worry buddy! We got your back in prayer, ::tu::

Remember buddy, when you're @ rock bottom, the only place to go, is up.
Even if things seem super tough right now, it's a learning experience. The Lord uses hard things in life, to disipline His childern, not to punish. One day you'll look back, and see why you went through "the worst job I every had".

If you need some ideas/help, I'm all ears buddy!
I have a few excellent resources, that have helped me over the years.

Amen Willy!

Just remember Tom.... God will answer your prayers. Sometimes, it isn't as quickly as we want it answered but He will answer with a blessing straight from Himself in heaven..... specially for your circumstances.

Just trust God and He will bless you!

I'll be praying for you to Tom. God always comes through, and he does it in his own timing.
