My company is laying off 500 people this week, with more projected for January. Please remember all those who are receiving news of the lay-offs (in my company as well as others), as well as their families who will be impacted, and their colleagues whom they are leaving behind.

Kyrie Eleison!

Lord have mercy on these people and on all people who are in jeopardy of losing their jobs because of no fault of their own, but because of the economic situation our country and world are in.

May our Lord provide for their and their families' daily bread. Amen. Amen. Amen.

In Christ,
Alice

Prayers for all at Deacon Daniel's workplace and all who suffer in these harsh economic times

There were quite a few layoffs last week in the home office already Deacon, 5 people on my floor and one below me. Prayers for all those affected.

May God give them the strength and wisdom to sustain this trying period.

I experienced this earlier this year; it actually turned out to be a blessing.

Sooner or later, the hemorrhage will be worldwide. It's just a question of who will be cast overboard first.

May God provide for all of us, especially those who will lose their health insurance coverage as a result!
