Please pray for a pay rise for me. I am supporting a family of three on my own with no parents or any help. This week a colleague got a substantial pay rise with back pay. My colleague does the same job as me but claimed after 12 weeks she was entitled to a rise and back pay. She got it. She has been at my workplace 5 months - me 10 months. We do the same job. However her agency is independent but mine apparently I am told is linked to a consortium to a local borough which keeps the pay lower. Good for the school not good for the worker. Clearly the school is not being consistent hiring from outside their pool but to the detriment of people like me. I have raised this with my agency who are now seeking either through the consortium or to invoice the school directly on my behalf. Please pray out of fairness I get the same raise as my colleague. I was asked back to the school in September because the autistic boy I worked with had made such good progress. Again this January in his annual review they acknowledged he has made great progress in reading writing and now speaking and communicating but they don't want to pay me the going rate. Please pray for justice and fairness that I be paid a decent wage. Transport costs are going up but the wage is not. It costs me £45 a week to get to work. After Christmas I had to borrow money to get to work - holiday pay is low because it depends on your rate, so the borough is clearly keeping wages deliberately low. The school and borough are not playing fair. Please pray I get my raise and backpay. Thank you.
My newfoundland dog seems to have pulled a shoulder muscle and is limping. (The vet wasn't sure what was causing it). Please pray that he will recover this week without having to go for x-rays which would involve anaesthetic which isn't good for a big dog and would cost a lot. I have taken him to the vet and got some medicine for him and he has to rest this week but he is already not very happy with that so may Jesus give him understanding and speedy healing. Amen. Thank you.
My daughter and I have taken on a rescue dog but three of the different people who said they might help as day carers have backed out. One I wasn't sure how strong their offer was, the other I have since learned may not be the best person to help, the third is 100% reliable and looked after my previous dog before for nearly three years but she is needing to work full time herself now and seek care for her own dogs.
I am going back to work tomorrow, my daughter is taking some mornings off this week to help care for our dog, we need a good person we can trust urgently to help and not charge the earth. Please pray we find permanent help, the right person/people to help with our dog's day care. He is a large dog and a rescue not everyone wants to care for a big dog. Thank you.
Please pray that God has a purpose for my life and it’s not too late to find it and do something that I feel my mother could look down from heaven and feel proud. I stopped working as a medical secretary when my fingers started to get arthritis and began curling and were painful , so I turned to teaching assistant work. I qualified as a teacher 30 years ago but I was overwhelmed by the workload/preparation, poor behaviour of the schools where I worked and large classes. I am not sure what I want to do now but I have to do something and I have lost confidence in myself and so many job doors I tried over the years, lots of different jobs, God closed the doors and I don't know where I am now. I walked away from a language job I would have been good at years ago because I would have had to have moved to an area I didn't know with no support and as then a single mother I wasn't confident, I also lost an opportunity years ago to work abroad because I wasn't confident to take it up. Life has totally not gone as planned and am now in my mid 50s and unlikely to get a good pension because of changing jobs so many times over the years. I wish I had made my mother proud of me but I am running out of time. I would like to think the latter end part of my life God would help me to achieve something good or worthwhile. Make my (late) mother and daughter proud of me. I need purpose. I feel like Alice in Wonderland with God knocking on doors and trying to find the right one and though I feel I probably walked away from the right ones when I was younger I need His mercy and restoration to give me a new door/new openings now. Confidence . His Grace. That I will see some dreams come true and not be here for nothing.
Two prayers please: Still struggling with plantar fasciitis on the right foot. Please pray it will heal soon, especially before summer. Painful when you put weight and that foot even with insoles and makes the whole body so tired by the end of the day.
Also I am working for an agency and the umbrella company is taking excessive amounts from me above what was agreed initially. My agency is being slow to put me onto PAYE (direct payments) which by law they should do as I have requested that. I suspect someone in the company is getting backhanders from the umbrella company who takes extra money back from the workers. Umbrella co is charging not only the 4% agreed for contractors but also taking tax PAYE as direct employee AND then charging me for what they say is what my agency is charging them. Basically a rip off.
My agency is good at finding me work but if they won't pay me direct I will have to leave them find something else. It's hard to sort out these battles while in pain from my foot. Please pray the foot will be healed and I will be paid properly and fairly for a day's work and pay will be sorted. I am looking for direct work so can get away from agency work soon.
Had heel pain for four weeks found out I have plantar fasciitis.
Please pray that it be healed asap. It is so painful walking and my job involves standing all day and being physically active looking after children, I love my work but the pain from the feet makes me exhausted by the time I get home because the other foot having to compensate affects the whole body as you have to adjust . I currently only have supply work through an agency if I can't work I don't get paid. Please join with me to pray God heal me and everyone who has this painful problem which people can't always tell you have unless it's bad enough that you're limping from it as I am.
I gave up my office typing job in December because I was getting arthritis in my hands, so from January I decided to do teaching assistant work but during the last week I have been getting painful plantar fasciitis in my right heel, making it painful to walk and stand, though I believe it can be healed. I believe both can be improved. But am getting discouraged as I need to work to get an income. Please pray that I shall be in good health as the main sole breadwinner of the family and God will put me in the right job/career/place. Thank you. I do believe Jehovah Jireh will provide.
URGENT! My 12 yrs and 3 month newfoundland could not get up today, she is struggling and in distress this evening. Emergency vets say it will be a few hours till they could come to us and our own vets will be open by then so we must hang on. She is panting very stressed I have tried water, medicine, music, massage. Please pray she will settle and God will help her. Thank you. Pray that if it is her time to go God will take her peacefully and if there is anything that can help her right now God will do it. Thank you.
Submit your prayer request. Thousands of caring people will see it and pray for you.
