God, we pray for all those who have suddenly lost employment. There are many. We ask you to first give them peace and a settled confidence. Their natural response is to shock and then fear, and to begin questioning their abilities, the past accomplishments and their future prospects. Give them your encouragement today, and do so through surprising ways, both directly from your Spirit and through other people who come across their path. Build them up, as this situation has torn them down. Remind them of past victories, and awaken new dreams for their future. Give them – today – divine appointments with people who may be key in opening a new future for them. Give them hope; lighten their step; lift the anxiety from their body; give them sleep and an unexpected joy. God, you intend us to have a purposeful life. You give us work assignments to accomplish because you designed us to help you create and sustain your creation. We are not made for idleness or sloth. We need meaningful work. So for all those who have lost a job, today bring them one step closer to a new direction. Show them any areas in their own character that need to change in order for their destiny to be realized. Then give them the wisdom and power to make those changes, by your Spirit. Today is a new day with new possibilities. Let nothing stand in the way of your purposes in the lives of those who, without your assistance, cannot find their next course. We pray this in Jesus name.

Very insightful. Look to Gideon- the weakest man in the weakest tribe but with 300 men he defeated his opponents in a 400/1 odds battle. Look to your own resources that you have.
I'm not a Christian, actually not religious at all ... but I like this prayer you posted. I think it came from the heart and was very positive.
Hallelujah!
Well written prayer. Amen!
188- says the fag
A beautiful prayer. Thank you.
Jesus was a fag, he got what he deserved. If he comes back I got my nail gun waiting.
@855: Just remember.... you are made of the same stuff that the stars are. THE STARS. You're a star! Go out there and shine, little star... shine all on your own and without the taint and stigma of a company like CCI smothering your luminescence! SUPAHSTAH!
Anonymous95855, As a Christian it is easy for me to "leave out" non Christians. This is not on purpose. I would encourage you to seek Jesus and give your life to Him because it works for me and I hope it will work for you. If that is not your choice then I would encourage you to realize that your worth is not based on your job. Take some time to regroup and realize that this is not the end. If possible maybe take this week and relax and then next Monday start to look for your next success. Try to find support in your family or a support group. Try to focus on your own accomplishments when you talk to employers. I hope that you find the encouragement that you need.
