Praying for a New Job, a Broken Relationship, Financial Help

Praying is truly asking God for help in a matter of urgency in many cases. If you just lost your job, for example, your next step is not to sit around and mop. You need to get going as fast as you can and post your Resume with head hunters, employment agencies, and if need be, you go knocking on doors. Unemployment benefits has saved many, but it will not cover your current life-style unless you adjust quickly.

Sometimes life seems impossible to cope with, especially when you don't have a job, and no other source of income, but you are not alone. You need to reduce your monthly expenditures one way or the other. You cannot possibly continue for long if your monthly costs remain the same. Sacrifices must be made, and they start right at home.

Finding a new job equal to or better than what you had before is your goal; however, in the interim you need to get any job, period! Restaurants are always hiring, and you may have to settle for the kitchen and clean-up duties for a while. A friend of mine went to work for Starbucks as a temporary solution, and eventually a job in his field came up.

What I do find is that people don't pray with any sense of faith for the things that they need. Instead, they curse their current situation rather than blessing it. "Ask and you will receive" is as true today as when it was first heard of from Jesus.

You just broke up with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, and you feel the pain. Don't pine your day away! Relax, and let time heal the wound. Best way to handle the pain is to pray for that person, and wish them well. As you do, peace takes over your thoughts, and the hurt and perhaps your anger will not be so severe. Try it, because it truly works!

When your finances are so tight that you can cry, and you have costly habits, e.g., drinking and smoking, and in some cases, gambling, have the courage to cut them out. A friend of mine that I help on occasion with his cargo ship business, does all of the above. He has lost tremendous sums of money on his investments, but his habits must go on. He borrows and borrows to pay his monthly family and business expenses, and yet I have seen him at Casinos drop hundreds and hundreds of dollars on the table playing Black Jack—and losing most of the time.

You want to pray to God for solutions to your current state of affairs; however, you are not willing to make the necessary sacrifices? It simply will not work for you. Humble yourself to the facts of your present situation; make the necessary adjustments to your life-style, and then ask all that you want and need. I believe that you will then see miracles happen in your life.

I know that to be true for I have seen many miracles occur in my life, and all because I believed when I asked. Which confirms the validity of the words, "According to your faith, be it unto you."

I would like to recommend that you visit the Ezine Articles page posted on this blog, and look at my latest article on "How to Keep your Job..." There are other articles that may also help you on prayer and holy water, especially if you need solace.
