Re posting:
You all have been with me for the past 4 weeks. April was incredibly hard, I've cried so much felt not confident in myself, and was feeling very depressed. A few weeks ago I decided to join this forum, I shared a prayer request about a potential career opportunity I was told would be posted in March. A month had gone by and nothing was ever posted. I started to feel desperate, saddened, and hopeless. The day after I posted my prayer request I was informed that the job had officially been posted and was encouraged to apply. The funding for this position is limited and while they need to hire more people, the posting and hiring process are still contingent on final approval from the Dean/admin on a campus-wide level. As of now, my application is being placed in a pool of applicants to contact if and when the position opens. The thing is this can be months. I am starting to fall back into a depression. I came home today and cried my eyes out. I would deeply appreciate your prayers. Please pray that not only that the funding and approval is granted for the position by the higher ups, but that as interviews begin, I may stand out as an ideal candidate. This opportunity means so much to me; I am having so much trouble finding a job. I've been ghosted by other employers, been rejected, and been told my application won't even be considered. However, my heart is set on this job. It’s where my passion lies and allows me to be surrounded by the people who have become a family to me. As I near the completion of my graduate studies and my end date comes closer and closer, I feel more scared, more worried, more hopeless, yet part of me remains hopeful. Truthfully, this feels like one of the last and most important things I have been hoping and working toward for a decade. Please pray for me. Pray that the dean and administrators lift the current hiring freeze and understand that I can serve this academic institution in ways that they need. Please pray that their minds are made up quickly and that I receive an offer before mid-May for the upcoming fall semester. Please pray that everything moves forward smoothly with the contract and hiring process for my position to begin at the end of July/beginning of August. I know that anything is possible through His grace and power. I know that He alone can guide those that make decisions to work in my favor. I have faith that my application will be reviewed, I will be offered an interview, and that they will offer me a position. I remain optimistically hopeful throughout these moments of sadness and depression. I talk to God, tell Him how I feel, thank Him, ask for grace/forgiveness, and let Him know what I want. I have been going through a very tough time this past month. I pray that May 2026 will turn around, open new doors, bring new opportunities, and welcome new beginnings for me and my loved ones. Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement, and faith! I truly believe in the power of prayer. God is good. God bless you all.
