Prayers Please?

[12ptdroptine]

Each time in my life for the last 5 years that I have been in need . My lord has come to me at the start of each event. I haven't lived the life I should have but here Go's. I talk with my lord everyday. My daily prayer is "Thank you dear father for the thing's you provide for me every day..In my job and in my life. Please help me to recognize those thing's, Please help me to understand these thing's..And please help me to appreciate those things. And dear lord may I pleas have another good day? I also pray this for family and friends. 5 years ago when I found out I was loosing my job...He came to me and said "dont worry everything will be fine..even better than ever before.. I was tested but told to wait...as he had told me I would go to John Deere...I was tested with other's but waited for that call. He got me through the weld test and the physical...I was a desired employee sines I wanted to set a good example. I had a couple foremen courting me to weld for them, Please bear with me as this is going to be long. His praise can never be shortened. He put me there the day after my mother's birthday..And her birthday was Sunday.hmmmmm. I was on top of the world. then a Painter's Job came open and I am a qualified painter..A friend foremen quietly advised me that would be a good place to try for a time. So I took it.... tons of overtime bout done me in... Then gas price's ran through the roof...I drive 120 round trip a day so a full sized 4x4 even though it gets 20 mpg was killing me .$140 a week . Then came the cancer scare..again he told me I would be allright...then right after I was elected and bought the car...we had the heart attack scare . I needed a new car but the company eliminated 2nd shift and went to a 1st and 3rd so there was a chance I would either go broke or broke and on 3rd. God said i would be OK God guided me to become union steward...with that comes super seniority,,,but if levels fall enough they have to reduce stewards also. But gas prices fell I got a new car and thing's were looking better.then came the 3rd shift thing but my stewardship saved me. Then came the 200 lay off..And they layed off around painter's..Whew... That one wouldn't have gotten me anyway. Today I learneb there will be another lay off announced this Friday another 100 looks like..God told me I would be ok..This one will pass me and if they don't have to remove any stewards I would be OK for awhile I was away for business 2 weeks ago. God has told me for the last 5 years to keep my nose clean and I would be OK. While away I made it a point to not misbehave..but todays NeWS is unnerveing..Please pray for me to keep the faith that he has never let me down. I know he wont now either thank you Drop

Drop.

Prayers sent. I have been unemployeed for almost 5 months now do the volatility of the automotive industry and this country's job market as a whole. I've lost two jobs in the last three years. I know of the fear that you speak of as I have lived it every day for the last few months. I am a degreed professional with 20 years of solid manufacturing management experience and the job market out there is brutal. Rest assured that HE will look out for us!

I guess my trust in God is perhaps different. He knows my needs in advance and is able to take care of all the little things I could worry about. If it is His will that I go through some tough times then I just can't ask him to alter his will to please me. I trust He will provide me the strength to handle the adversitites and guide me in the path I should take. If he closes one door I am sure another will be opened for me. He doesn't tell me that this will be alright or that some things wont. I don't consider myself good enough for Him to grant special favors for. I don't know my needs, the doctors don't know my needs and the future is His to know and contol. All this leads to the only prayer I feel worthy of saying. "Your will be done and please provide me with the strengt to accept Your way."

[12ptdroptine]

I have never asked him to alter alter his will...Just to guide me through all time's..It was my lord that assured me in these time's of need that things would be ok..I only ask my lord for forgiveness and guidance. These are tough time's for some of us. I am glad I have god to help me through them...Had you asked I would have offered prayer's for you, or your's. Drop

12ptdroptine, I have been where you are...and it isn't good; or seems not good. But this is thinking on the earthly side, on my point. I was unfairly fired from a major chemical company. There was serious corruption involved from within the department. I thought my life had ended, I got drafted(as expected at the time) but squeezed in the USAF at the last second. I was enlisted but managed to get into Officer's training and eventually got to fly F-111s for 10 yrs. All this was preceeded by being fired and drafted. God just had better times for me. As time went on I was led to desparately seek God and His will. That is now the center of my life. Whatever happens, I just serve him. The 23 Psalm is still true . If we seek Him 1st, He will provide. Material times may be hard and hard for some time, mine have been, but it is necessairy that the believer/follower keep faith that God, not us, will see us thru. When that trust is fully there, the worry goes away. Concern and doing all we can is still necessairy, but trust should always be there. He will see you thru.
