I do have a special prayer request.

I am between jobs right now and seem to have a problem motivating myself to apply for a new job. I get listings from job sites, I fill in (partially) applications/resumes. And then I get blosked, unfocused, confused.

I do not know what happens. DH calls it Analysis Paralysis. I get so caught up in details and what ifs, I can't do anything. I am fearful that I will not get called for any interviews. I'm not even sure that I want to continue in this field.

I feel like I am letting my family and DH down. Like I am not pulling my weight.

There is so much confusion and noise in my head right now, I can't do anything.

I feel so lost right now I do not know what to do, where to turn, or anything. I am spinning and spinning and it feels like a downward spiral. I need help. Even as I type, I sit here with tears in my eyes because I just do not know.

Please pray for me.

I will lift you up in prayer tonight. I have been there in that place that you are now. Just feeling stuck, almost like you are being held in bondage.

Just know that God is real. There is a recent thread on here that provides a link to an ebook that is full of powerful prayers. I have been using that book daily since I found it and let me tell you, God does great things when you pray!!

In the meantime, we also have to help ourselves. Like the Nike commercial used to say - Just do it.

Even when you don't feel like it, do it anyway. That is how you will get across that hurdle.

Satan is lying to you about your life and your career. Stop listening to what he says and start calling on the words of God. Get your bible out and repeat God's words back to Him in your prayers because the bible says God's words do not return to him void.

Hang in there.
 
Thank you HNH for taking the time to reply to my plea. It means alot.

I am trying to hang in there. It is stressful and I am trying to overcome this fear.
 
Hi rosie-

You are probably going through "withdrawal" symptoms. In other words, you had a routine that you were used to and probably felt confident doing your job. Now you aren't too sure about your future so you are feeling mixed emotions.

There are all kinds of opportunities out there for you. In fact, I am praying that GOD bless you with an even better job.

Applying for a new job can be overwhelming. So maybe you should set a goal. Maybe something like sending out 3 applications/resumes per day and that will equal 21 for the week or almost 100 per month.

Please come back and let us know about that great new job you get. :grin:
 
God will see you through just for reaching out for prayer which is reaching for strength. Praying in Jesus name that he will quicken your spirit and give you peace in Jesus name. Amen
 
I will be praying for you, and it seems like what you need is to refocus your center on God. He is not a God of confusion or fear. He will give you strength in your weakness. Maybe try fasting and prayer, that always helps me to refocus my mind on Christ when everything seems to be falling apart. God Bless, and HTH!!
