I'm out of work. I despertly need to find drug free and cigarette free employemt. It seems that everything that can possibly go wrong does. This situation has been troubling my life for a very long time.I suspect that there is something work related that I'm supposed to do, but don't.
Please pray that I find work. Additionally please pray that this pattern of ill luck stop happening to me. If there is some special work meant for me please pray that I find the open door.

PS. No other area of my life has this problem or any simular problem. However there are problems arising out of a total lack of income.

I'm thankful for extreamly good health. Most people think I'm only in my 20s when I'm 42. I thank the Holy Spirit for teaching me during the past 17 years. I'm thankful for spiritual gifts that go well beyond not being addicted.

May the Lord direct your steps, and show you the path to employment and freedom from financial worry.

May the Mother of God enfold you in her mantle.

Prayers that you find the perfect job, and prayers for all the other intentions I don't have time to read.

Dear Richard Anthony,

My prayers for you to find a job. My prayers for the attacks affecting your life to stop. My prayers for God's blessings on you and His protection from all evil and danger.

Most work environments are drug and cigarette free. I would not worry about that.

Good luck.

In Christ our Hope,
Alice

Dear Richard,
Whatever your reasons are for a cig and drug free environment, it is obviously most important to you. I will pray for you to find an appropriate position. I have been in a similar situation for 2 years, and my husband for one year. We are struggling, yet, God takes care of us. He has a plan for you, Richard; don't despair! Thank Him for your Blessings, be faithful, and He will not let you down. What about FedEx? They are strict and need good people! No experience necessary, and you can start as a handler and move into other jobs pretty quickly. Otherwise; my prayers are for you, and I understand your standards. St. Joseph The Worker, ora pro nobis! God love you. - Gv.

I will pray for you Richard, I am in a similiar situation. Please pray for me also. I am in danger of losing my job, due to a company restructure. The same thing happened to me in my previos job. I had an interview that went well, but I am 54 yeras old, which may make it a little tougher. I will keep you in my prayers

My Dear Blessed Lord Jesus,

Through the intercession of Your Blessed Mother, help Richard in his quest for employment. May You direct him, encourage him, enlighten him, train him, focus him, and have opportunities come about so that he will be able to find proper employment.

I also ask that through the intercession of Your Blessed Mother and through Your all Merciful Self, to do the same for all those who find themselves in this day and age without work.

I thank You in advance for answering all our prayers.

Zenovia

Prayers for Richard, that he find gainful employment with which to support himself and that God grant him many years in health and happiness.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen....

Thanks very much Pani Rose. You have the right idea. I was cursed by Army in 1983. I was just 18.
