I have been under employed for over a year and now unemployed for most of March. I had two decent interviews and have applied for several dozen jobs. I would ask that you pray that I am offered the job that is inline with God's will just as soon as possible. I am trusting to his Mercy and not praying for a specific job. I want to surrender all to Him. Some say the religion is the last refuge of a scoundrel. In this it was my first thought so I hope I am not thought to be the scoundrel. Well I discovered that hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of my belongins were stolen from my storage unit. Most of it were things I could have put on eBay to help me over this hump and now I have a phone bill and my car insurance due. I don't know where to turn or what to do. Please ask God to pour me out a blessing even though I have been a poor steward and deserve nothing.Then again neither did I deserve the Grace shown us all at the Cross. Thanks and God's Blessings on you all.

I wish I had words of wisdom. Your prayers is much as mine has been ...for 18 months now. As I thought things were about to implode, along would come some part time work or contract work to do to keep the boat afloat.
Like you, I wish to use God's given skills on loan to me to His purpose... I've had much in way of elderly parent responsibilities that have only recently started to ease up, but will tie me to the area.
This place and many private emails from the good souls on tradgang have meant much to me. I'm sure they will be there for you as you go through this.
Remember... today's average for being unemployed is about where I am now. Horrible thought... but it's where this world economy has brought us.
Blessing to you. Keep connected in community with as many support networks as possible. I continually fight withdrawing into myself. God wants us "out there" taking our lumps and reaching out.
Sorry to ramble. Just hit a big nerve there, brother, as you can imagine. There are many here in the same boat...and depending on age, career, region of the country...other ties we might have to hold us one place or another, it may take longer'n we like to reconnect with work.
Keep the Son in your eyes!

We can pray together friend. I'm in the same boat and at times it can look pretty dark. You sound like me in that you are a person who needs to work as much as need the money. Just keep the thought in your head that you are not going to be out of work for long, that the job you are looking for is just around the corner. In my case I have great support from loved ones and I hope you do too. But as Doc mentioned, this is a special place where people you have never met are just as much family. We've both asked for help lately and we've both received it, without question. Keep the faith C2 and when it starts to darken, just visit with the kin at Tradgang.

God will provide, just keep your faith . I also have financial problems, most self inflicted. I often times have found myself questioning my faith with the Lord, these are tests, they don't seem fair but God wants us to pass them. Reading your post leaves no doubt that God will be pleased with the person he created in you, you obviously believe in his forgiving grace or you would have given up by now. Your rewards will be great I pray mine will also be. From a brother in Christ may we recieve his blessings and share them with others as we do his will not ours. My prayers are for you today.

I got the one oar, brother, while you got the other. WE just have to keep on stroking and believing that God has a plan, even for the least of us for which I know I'm well qualified.
Write anytime. 19 months and doing things I never thought I had the grit to do to keep the shiny side up! :) God's not going to give me all these skills to let them rot in the ground with me.
Given his desciples, I guess He tends to take a shine to us fallable ones, eh? :) He truly does use our misgivings, mis-steps and mistakes to make us more aware that without Him, we're just butt dust. With Him, w're invincible! :)
You've got all the family here you can handle. Shoot me a line if you want to rant, cry, shout or just brainstorm anytime.

praying the Lord JESUS continues to mold you and you are obedient to him, regarding him as Savior and LORD. For in weakness the Lords strength is made complete -II Cor. 12:9.
