Such a silly little request, compared to so many that are here. I lost a job that I loved out of the blue. No warning, all of my evaluations had been great over the past years. Just a "Sorry, we don't want you anymore." They are at least honoring the rest of my contract, but the hurt of just being "dumped" for no reason, and the worry for myself and my family after my contract ends is just overwhelming sometimes. There is another position that I would really love to have - I think I could really do some good there, and while I'd never be rich, my little family could be secure. In the midst of so many prayers for people who are so much worse off than I am, I almost feel guilty, but could you spare a quick little prayer for me to find a meaningful job where I can do good and be appreciated?
Randy, my boyfriend lost his 12-year-old Boykin spaniel just a few weeks ago. It is a terrible experience - I know. I have lost dogs in the past, and they truly are members of the family, and it hurts just as much. Please give yourself the opportunity to mourn, and NEVER let anyone make you feel guilty about your grief because "it's just a dog." There is no such thing - he was a part of you. And I do believe we will see our furbabies again. After all, God is Love, right? And who could be filled with more love than our wonderful dogs! He will be there to meet you someday, but in the meantime, take care of yourself, and when the time is right, maybe another beautiful furry soul will need your love and devotion. They never take the places of the ones we have lost, but it is a good thing to pass that love onto another animal who needs it. Prayers for peace for you!
Cherrie, I have to admit that while I do often send prayers for these requests, I rarely answer them, but yours touched my heart because I am in the very same place. My father passed in 2010, and my mother died on Thanksgiving Day, 2015. I'm and only child, and I'm not ashamed to say that my parents were the best friends I ever had. When Dad died, Mom and I had each other to lean on, but now that she is gone, I just feel alone and rudderless, and looking for something to give me some meaning. Seeing your post made me feel a little better in knowing there are others out there who feel the same way, and I hope that knowing you're not alone will give you some comfort too. Hang in there, and know that in some way, you are making your parents proud every day!
Submit your prayer request. Thousands of caring people will see it and pray for you.
Thanks to all of you!!!!! Prayers for your needs coming right back at you! I'm so grateful!
