Temporarily Unemployed? "For the Lord watches over the plans and paths of godly men" Ps. 1:6 Living Bible Jesus was a carpenter, Peter a fisherman and Paul a tent maker. Having a job is a God given desire. There are times when having a job can be difficult to attain. Working in jobs that are not the desires of our hearts can be frustrating. Discouragement and lack of confidence are eager to keep us from all God wants for us. There are also employers who are in need of excellent employee. Sometimes a listening ear is good to have. The good news is prayer is waiting to happen. Contact Ted and Martie Fangman with prayer needs for employment and job opportunities. Email prayforwork@mchsi.com. Call 319-560-PRAY (7729). |
