I am in need of income. I haven't worked for a while and have been living off savings, and that well is running dry. If you could pray that God will lead me to honorable work, I would appreciate it and give Him the Glory.
Hello Dave,
Sorry to hear about your not having employment, it can and is very frustrating. I went through a spell of unemployment and homelessness during the time period of 1996-1998. By the Grace of God, you still have savings, I will pray that you are able to find work, before your funds expire, hopefully even sooner. Sometimes a person tries so hard to make things right, it feels that your beating your head against the wall. If your experiencing much suffering and chastisement in this life, it's for your refinement(Heb.12). For me it's the emotional-related issues(EX-Wives,children,relatives,etc.) that present the greatest trial and stress. At least, you have the desire to work, just think of all the people that don't want to or could care less. You have the right attitude Brother, I don't know what your work specialty is, but you might have to lower your standards, in order to secure employment, I know I had to and I know it doesn't feel good to do so, it humbles you. Most, if not all of the jobs that I lost in life were as a result of excessive family stress at home. Fortunately, at this time, by the Grace of God, my immediate family life with the Freckle Girl(Forum Member) is stable, however, one of my EX-Wives is socking it to me, as I write this, not so much financially, but through my youngest Daughter. She is an extremely self-righteous, judgemental and vindictive ######(expletive), well you get the message. I'm thinking of sending a personal message to one of our moderators for advice, Ray is too busy for these sort of things. I don't handle these emotional things too well, I just wish, she would leave me alone.
I'm sorry for venting this to you Dave, my apologies, you have your own problems. Hope you find a job, it will give you some peace and relief. Look at the bright side, the fact that Jesus really is the Savior of the world, not could be or some sort of wishfull thinking, like the Churches portray Salvation, everyone is going to Eventually be saved, it's God's Will and it's his Will that none will perish, it's not a desire or wishfull thinking on God's part, but his Absolute Will, knowing this helps us to even not fear death, as much as we used to. Can you imagine belonging to a Church and being told that after getting beaten up in this 70-80 year life, the prize is now an Eternity in Hell-fire after not working hard enough(Free-Will) towards your Salvation, that can leave a person with real hopelessness. Jesus came to save the Lost(GK-Oleuthron).
Well, my prayers are with you, Samson
