Please pray that God will guide and direct me in everything that I do. Over the past 15 years I have had several different jobs that have ended up not working out for one reason or another, not related to my performance or lack thereof. One was simply not for me, the other was a job that I loved but the company was sold and so all workers had to leave. I currently am self employed in a family owned and operated business that I enjoy being involved in, but there are some changes that need to be made to the business in order to take it from “barely scraping by” to a place where finances won’t be quite as tight as they are now. I constantly struggle to make ends meet and as hard as I work I feel like I am wasting my life away with nothing to show for it. But, given the fact that I feel like i have failed at other business opportunities over the past 15 years, I have lost all confidence in my abilities. I know that my abilities had nothing to do with those failures as they resulted from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. So I feel like I am destined for failure for some reason. I know that’s not true but that is how I have come to view myself. As a result of that I have distanced myself from God and haven’t been praying regularly. I ask that people pray that I stop being afraid that I will fail at everything that I try. I also ask for prayers asking God to soften my heart so that I will let him back in and establish a regular prayer regimen once again. God bless those that read this and thank you to those who take a few minutes to pray for me. I love you!
