Dear God,

I must admit that I am angry with the government making stupid decision to close or cut many deaf schools. I just finished study to become a teacher for the deaf. I truly have a strong passion to work with deaf children. This year, most deaf school are not able to hire any deaf teachers due budget reason. I truly wanted to provide a lot of love for the deaf children who need to communicate or express their feelings in sign language because most parents don’t communicate with their deaf child in sign language. I have a dream to work with deaf children that’s my truth passion. I cannot imagine working without any deaf children in my life. I Pray for my small miracle to be able to work with deaf children and provide a lots of love……

Please, Help My Father To Find Work Again

workhard.jpg Dear Lord,

Please, help my father to find work again. You know my family is in such a difficult financial situation, you know every month has been hard. I try to help, but I don’t have all the money it takes. He’s been borrowing money from everywhere and that is terrible, because I don’t know when of if he’ll pay it. And if he doesn’t, then what? Borrowed money is no solution. Every month there’s bills to pay and food to buy. Please, show him a place where he can work again,where he can get paid every month. That is the only way.

Please Lord, please, help him with it.

I Got Fired Twice In The Last Year

Email Article
June 30th, 2008
boy.jpg Dear Conscience, The last year hasn’t been a good one professionally. I got fired twice in the last year..and its not a good thing for my ego and self-respect. I know am a good employee, diligent worker and have a logical manner of working efficiently..but somehow because of my outspoken attitude, I always get cornered. The previous job was with a MNC..and sure as hell, I can not go back there and work ever. And they are coming up with the most exciting new ventures. This time around, I lost a job where I learned a LOT in terms of a whole new medium of work..but the people irked me..and I, as always, stood my ground and lost my job yet again. Is integrity such a bad thing? Or am I being too pushy about those things that I want around me? I’m not shirking work, and I know my work is appreciated and well-received, now then, what could be the real reason behind the ouster? I’m unfortunately really shaken up by this..and honestly, hate the unemployment feeling. I know something else will come about (and I hope it comes about soon. I’ve already been home and moneyless for two weeks), and I hope I can erase this off my record and move on. Fortunately, I am looking for jobs..and I’m unwilling to settle down for second best. I always choose to do the things that I want to do. Last time around, it took my three months to find a job I wanted to do.. I hope this time around, it’ll be sooner and that I will have the chance to prove that I am a good employee, team member and as hardworking an asset to an organisation as I can be.

I Am Out Of Ideas

Email Article
May 20th, 2008
inspiration Dear God, Last spring I had a mental breakdown; I guess you already know it, if you noticed. I’ve always believed I could solve most things with hard work; but I think maybe I finally overdid it. Anyway, I thought I could heal if I just took some down time. One month turned into three, and now it’s been a year. I am not crying constantly anymore. But when I try to face going back to work in the regular world, I feel like I need to throw up. I work from home now, doing what I really love, but I can’t make ends meet this way. I am out of ideas. I feel panicked. Some days I think it would be easier just to stop trying to make something out of myself. Please, just send me some inspiration; my current work relies on creativity, and I feel trapped out and that scares me to death…

I Have Applied For So Many Jobs, But Can’t Find The Right Fit

Dear God,

Four months ago I left my high pressure job in fashion advertising, for a much needed rest. I was confident that I would soon find another role elsewhere.

Summer came and went, and now it’s mid April - the months are slipping by, I’m struggling to provide for my son, I can’t pay my bills and I’m being hunted by creditors all over town. I can’t sleep and start to cry at silly times. You see, I have applied for so many jobs, but can’t find the right fit. I don’t know who I’m supposed to be anymore, or why the last four years of my life hold no significance to the rest of the world. I believed once that I was a beautiful, creative and talented career woman, with much to offer. Every time I smile right now, it’s fake. I’m suffocating on my life and can’t believe that this is what I’ve worked so hard to become.

My Boss Treats Me Like A Dog

Email Article
April 17th, 2008
work.gif Dear God, Please give me wisdom about my job. My boss treats me like a dog. I have confronted her to no avail. Despite my ardent search for a better job I have no prospects. My wife and son depend on the income I provide, but I feel so depressed getting ready for work I have to muster all the will power I have just to shower and shave… The only option I see is to stick it out and look for another job in the meantime. God, would you please provide for me a job that doesn’t eat away at my sanity? This one drains the life out of me so I can’t be there for my beautiful family when I get home. My wife and son deserve my energy when I’m with them! Or would you knock some sense and respect into my boss? She doesn’t seem to value human life other than her own. Or maybe would You give me the courage to stand up to her in a way that would get through? You’ve said that those who pray to You and trust in You will not be put to shame. I am praying and trusting, so help me work in a way that demands respect. Help me pace myself so that I have the best of myself to give my wife and son at the end of the day. Provider, please provide what I need, whatever that is and help me recognize it when it comes.J - Phoenix, AZ, USA

Please Reveal Your Plan For Me

Email Article
April 7th, 2008
reveal your plan

Dear God,

Please reveal your plan for me. I am at a crossroads now where I feel that it is time for me to embark on the work I am destined to do. I feel like I have been preparing for this my whole adult life. Something in me knows that all of the challenges and crisises I have suffered in my life have been training to prepare me for something greater. But I am ready now. I feel stronger and more confident and grounded than I ever have in my life. I know I am ready. Please show me the way. My life demands it. The old path has crumbled away now and I pray now that the way forward will rise out of the ashes. Before I go I thank for my precious little boys, little rays of light who have been the instruments through which I have grown. Becoming a mother took me to the edge in every way, but out of that crisis came a new person. A woman, rather than a girl. Thank you for my wonderful husband, who has been the most incredible unwavering support in my life. I hope that the next part of our journey brings us the career success and prosperity we have both worked so hard for.
