Hello Rev. Duplantis,

I am in need of prayer. Here is my situation. I was hired on in Roanoke, AL as an assistant principal. Before accepting the position, I was told by many that this was a very prejudice town and that I should not come. This was an opportunity to use my degree as an administrator. So, after ten years, I left the classroom. After five years of working as assistant principal at the high school, I was next in line for a principal position at the middle school. Again, I was told not to take it... that this city was not going to have two Black administrators.... I should stay put... This was an opportunity for me to use my degree as a principal... Principals receive three year contracts...

Here is where my story begins... at the end of my second year as principal, I was called in and told that my contract would not renewed....as a matter of fact....why don't you quit now...go ahead and resign.... or you could step down and will let the lady who you hired as your assistant principal be the principal...she must have been promised the job at this point, because she literally took over... and the book-keeper and secretary literally started giving her my duties as principal...she started making decisions that I should have been making...every chance my superintendent got, he would try to discredit me or my performance...gathering a paper trail just in case I did not resign at the end of my third year...

I have endured much...I did not resign at that point... but I promised my boss, that at the end of my third year, I would give him back his job as principal... I had to resign in March. I have endured questions... and all I say is that the Lord will provide... school is out... and I haven't been hired anywhere else...I have tenure as an assistant principal in this city, but was told by my boss, that he did not have to place me in a position of leadership...he could place me back in the classroom...as it turned out... they non-renewed a high school English teacher... I don't know what will become of me.... Still I pray... I trust God... I believe in Him. I've come to far and worked too hard... for Him to leave me now...

I have been praying for direction.... I tired....

I need him to stand up on my behalf...and fight my battles for me....I have given Him all my cares....

I told my pastor that I would NOT miss one month in paying my tithe. I know God will open doors that need to be opened in my life.

Please pray for my situation and agree with me...

Linda

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
