Day 13 - Prayer for the Underemployed
Today is the 13th day of the 40 Days of Prayer challenge. If you missed yesterday's prayer and would like to add it to today's prayer, you can find it here.
Today, we are praying for those who are blessed to have a job while experiencing the pain of not having enough to sustain their families. Many families have reached a point where they have to choose between food and a roof over their heads because there simply isn't enough money left to pay for everything. We hear stories of families who have had to move into cramped motel rooms because it's cheaper than all of the expenses of having a home.

Ah, this is such a good new focus on prayer. We as a nation have been so focused on the unemployed, but not the underemployed. Thank you for this prayer idea...
ReplyDeleteLord, we thank you for all that you have blessed us with. For letting us live in a nation of free will and new opportunities everywhere. Sometimes things are too tight for us to handle, and so we lift up those who have a job but cannot sustain their family. Lord, please ease their hearts and fill their cup with your love and take this heavy burden from them. Lord, thank you for always being there for us and always providing. We love you and pray this in your Holy name, amen.
