Prayer Needed

Chris received upsetting news the other day, it seems the company may get rid of his department as well as all the men that work with him. We are grateful because it seems the Lord has at least given us a heads-up so that we can begin preparing, but we need this job for obvious reasons.

We hope to have our home paid off in 1 1/2 years but due to this development it may take even longer to pay it off if we lost our income source. Though the Lord has given this early notice to us, it is still unsure of whether they will be getting rid of Chris' department or they are just pondering it. So, we are attempting to keep our hearts focused on the cross and Christ.

Please pray for the following:
(1) That we have food, shelter and clothing provided for us.
(2) That Chris would regain his strength, as his thyroid medicine doesn't seem to be doing anything for his energy level.
(3) That I wouldn't be yoked with worry and lose my focus on Christ and the cross.
(4) That God would help us pay off our home quickly.

Thank you in advance! :-)

Sounds like you really have things in proper perspective.

We have been in a place where my husband lost his job of 17 years. Our newly purchased home had to be sold and agents said, "No way. This will be a huge loss for you." The Lord had everything worked out. Our house sold for $20,000 than we asked! And we moved to our homestead land which is what we always wanted but couldn't quite figure out how to do.

All that to say, be encouraged. God knows the beginning and the end.

I'll pray!

Blessings,
