Job Loss/empty Nest

[wdrewdeb01]

I had a good job in upper management. Last spring I was working in my yard when I hurt my back. After months of doctor appointments and tests I had to have surgery on my back. I have been out of work for over a year. The company that I worked for closed down. My children are all grown. I have several grand children that bring me much happiness. But I still feel that something is missing. The last time I was out of work I had children at home that kept me busy doing laundry, cleaning and cooking.

Since I've been out of work I feel like something is missing and I don't know what. I am not able to go back to work yet and don't know if I'll ever be able to work again. I feel like I have no purpose, I just exist. I never was one to sit in front of the television all day. In fact, I hardly ever turned it on. For years I was busy working and taking care of my family. I hardly ever had time to sit down and relax. I need something to fill that void.

I live in the country and hardly ever see anyone. I miss the socialization at work because I have a hard time making friends. I am very lonely and have too much time to dwell on my current situations. Please pray for me that God will show me the way so that I may feel fulfilled.

Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

You may find it a blessing to pursue volunteering for non-profit organizations, going into ministry, or volunteering. Do a google search on volunteering or community efforts around the community. If you have neighbors close by, you may try baking them cookies, and perhaps getting to know them. Or if you're really daring in the Lord you can spend time on the computer studying the Bible, and eventually be a preacher or missionary. I know there's a few sites that let you study the Bible for free. Maybe spend more time while you're at it outside praying in nature.

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 was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. 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.
