State of the Blu: Urgent Prayer Needed

Hey Guys and Gals,

Been awhile and I pray everyone is alright, or atleast on the track to being alright.

My semester of school is over now and I have been looking for a job for the last couple months with no luck. Right now ohio is at nearly a 12% unemployment rate and you would be suprised just how hard it is to find work around here.

We had a Custodial Job open up at one of the crappier public schools in the area and well over 700 people applied for the 1 position.

Because of school and life it has been a little over a year since i have had a job. It was tolerable with school because my loans were able to subsidise my income, but i can not live like that, and i do not believe that is what God has in store for me.

Right now I am running on fumes both physically, financially and spiritually. I am supposed to get married in October but I HAVE to be working long before that.

What I need are some open doors. 6 years ago I got a misdemeanor on my record for having the wrong kind of friends, it wasnt anything serious but i know that is part of the reason i can not find work. In ohio, most places want to wait 7 years before they will hire you, i have lost a couple of opportunities just because of the 1 year... it is hard. God forgave me for my wrong doings. I have forgiven myself. The consequences of my actions are still biting me in the rear and I need a breakthrough.

I am willing to do any job, I am willing to make minimum wage, My fiance makes enough that I dont need to make a lot to keep us in good standing, besides I need to get through the next year before some of the doors that have closed will re-open.

I need prayer. For strength, and for help. I am at the end of my rope and my fingers are slipping. I feel like giving up. I dont feel like my happy self anymore, i dont feel excited about things anymore. I am almost always hurting and always sad and down on myself. I know it is the devil attacking me but i cant seems to break through this trial to get to God.

please... pray for me.

Praying

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

Praying for you Blu. Is it out of the realm of possibilities to relocate to a state with a higher employment %? If so, what would you be looking for employment wise as well as your future spouse?
 
Elihu, Rightnow, I can not afford to relocate and we have already spent close to 10 grand on a wedding here, there is really no moving till that is over either way.

She has a Bachelors in Marketing and is curently a Project Cordinator for a Multi-Level Marketing Firm.

I am working on a degree in MIS, but would work anywhere... heh...


Thanks for the prayers... i just feel helpless and... well... worthless. All kinds of stuff is going through my head and it is a battle to try and remind myself of God's word. Any prayer is appreciated.

Her and I have talked about maybe moving after the wedding, but that still means I need a job first to afford the move.

blah,
Nathan
 
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

Lord, I pray that you would be very near to Blu and his fiance' during this difficult time of waiting. Heavenly Father, we know that you promise to provide for our daily bread. Please help them to experience peace and know that they have not been forgotten. We ask that you will open doors for employment. Give Blu and his fiance' the wisdom and discernment they need to make the best decisions for their present and future. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
 
May God give you strength to endure what you must go through. He says He won't give us more than we can handle, but learning to give to Him is tough. Putting everthing into His hands if tough for us control freak types. Don't know if your that type or not, but it's gotta be hard for anyone-control freak or not. We don't know what His plans are, and sometimes it seems hopeless, but remember He loves you at all times. We have to suffer through all that sin has brought us in this world, but if we give ourselves to Him, He can make the suffering easier to bear through His love.

God bless you and your family and soon to be family in these tough times Nathan. Let God be your Pilot. If your not going to a church that has some support, maybe it might help to find a good church to go to and network with Christian support.
 
I'm praying for you Blu, I pray God will bring you light in this dark time and that you will find the door, or window, or crack, or underground tunnel or whatever that He has for you...but He does have a way.
