Please pray for me

Dear Titus05, you've been given some good advice. I'm definitely not an expert but have you considered doing some voluntary work? It's really popular in the uk and positions may be held for several hours a week or more than that. It does work out best if you can commit for set period of time (say a month 2 days a week or 3 or 6 months 2 hours a week).

It may give you just the exposure to a working environment that you need to ease your way forward whilst you are looking for paid work. It can look great on a cv.

Even work unrelated to your area of expertise can build and demonstrate to an employer that you have skills of adaptability and diligence etc

(Forgive me if someone's mentioned this already).

Edit: have prayed.

Your advice means a lot to me. Yes , I had one brother from uk have mentioned about voluntary and you are just elaborate this one which I am totally able to understand now. Here, in India we don't have such kind of work in India. So I don't know no where can I get one to improve myself. Thank you so much for your gracious words. Thank you.

I'm not familiar with Indian culture, but in the uk from experience I think it would be acceptable to make a telephone or written inquiry to a company you are interested in offering your services and seeing if they would be interested in you. (Just incase showing the same initiative could work there.....after praying first to see if God gives you peace to try)

Also, there are some great free or economical courses online on sites such as Udemy and Futurelearn on all sorts of work or skill related topics which may help your application

As it all may sound rather daunting after having a while away from a work place maybe it would help to set yourself a goal for something to achieve by midweek and then if you run into difficulty you can prayerfully consult with someone?

I wont press you further but breaking things down into steps often seems helpful.

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation, Titus. I just read through the thread, and I can tell that you’ve got some good advice and support. I know how difficult and frustrating it must be for you without a job. Remember that no detail of our lives can ever escape God’s notice and He is able to take care of everything that concerns you. Please know that I said a prayer for you, asking the Lord to surround you with His loving presence, fill you with His peace, and bless you with a good job. May your confidence in His grace and goodness increase as you look to Him in faith. Peace to you.

Yes brother. But, I am not saying I am poor or I am hunger. God Blessed my father with a canteen. Do you know he started his career as waiter in a restaurant for almost 26years, as cook some 3years,and now he became owner since 7yrs . Now he is 51yrs old. Just think how hard his life is. At the age of 3 he had no father. At the age of 8 he ran from his sister's(married)house because of drudgery.we might not havinh any big assets to our name and we don't want any of them either. we are a happy family. God has given prophecy towards my father and he did so . My sister got married to a pastor (unplanned) but God has planned for her we are not ready for my sister's marriage financially or mentally at that time as she was young .Because of these two incidents our lord glorified and everybody saw my family as a god blessed one. Sorry for my English. There are so many things in it but I can't explain each one of them. Even in the eyes of our relatives( non believers) now we are like God's people. They even call us with the name God' children(positive note. In india every believer has a name god's child(scornfulness)) . This change has come from above and the cause of all this happenings was my mum . She prays hours and hours , my father used to drink a lot some years ago, me and my sister don't want to go for church in our teenage. We change a lot now. I know God has a plan for me .


Now coming to the Point You may see me as a fool. Because, I never try attempt any interview on my own but with reference I had. So I am that inactive socially. I don't know why I am facing this. I want to come out. As I left with no knowledge about my work . No experience, nothing. What can I do? I just need some real help. That may be your prayers, some moral support. And real criticism so that I can get better version of me. I am searching. I am hoping. Thank you very much for your concern and sharing your views and experiences. I like the god's word you quoted for me. According to Deuteronomy 11:18-20. Psalms 119:50,119:11. The God's word is all we have on this earth to live a better holy life according to his will. Thank you once again. I pray for you too. Have a wonderful life in Jesus name. As he is a wonderful God. God of almighty. God on heaven and earth. God of mercy. God bless you my friend.

I gave some very general advice on the mindset we can have during difficult times, not saying that you are poor or hungry. Thanks for sharing so much with me, I always get encouragement reading what God has done in people's lives. Just keep trusting everything to God, He will not fail.

Lacking experience in interviews and work is sometimes outside of our control. Do what you can, and let go of those things outside of your control. I have been wanting to get out of my situation also, but so far nothing has changed. I have been hopping jobs so frequently due to stress triggered PTSD its hard even for me to explain why in interviews. But even though outside circumstances remained the same, God has moved me forward spiritually. As I come out of every pain and bitterness, I get closer to Him. I yearn more for Him. Like I said, don't burden yourself with the things of this world - if you have a job, thank God. If you don't have a job, thank God still - you can use your free time to pray, help your relatives, help around the house, many fruitful things you can do. Sometimes all we have to do is wait, wait and see what God has planned for us.

Do you remember the story of Joseph? He was sold into Egypt as a slave, worked faithfully as a slave for many years and then suddenly thrown into prison for crimes he never committed. He stayed jobless and in a prison for a good long while, how painful that is! Yet he waited on God and finally God unravelled His plan in his life.

I believe it is time for you to wait. Wait on God, and see His marvelous plan unfold. Be blessed.

Your sister in Christ

Actually, many of our job opportunities don't come from actual jobs we did, they come from knowing people. Have you ever thought about working for people around your neighborhood, even if it is work not related to your previous experience? You may not be gaining experience in your profession, but it can still help in the long run by developing multiple skill sets that are called transferrable skills. The people you get to know may just be the reference you need.

For volunteering work, you can actually try some at UN on their website: Home | UNV Online Volunteering service

Since you are below 29 years of age, you can also have a look at https://www.unv.org/become-un-youth-volunteer

We all go through low periods in life, read the Bible, every one of God's people had low periods in their lives, some even life threatening. It isn't a comfortable period, but God will bring us out of it if we endure with faith, He never fails. And if we should die, we die with faith and God will give us life again on the day of judgement. We all die eventually anyway of age and illness, but we have a future of eternal life to look forward to - this should give us hope even in a troubled life now. When we do come out of our trials, we become stronger in faith and closer to God when we have a good attitude. Don't be harsh on yourself, if you have tried your best, the outcome is irrelevant. I am from China.

You are good with your attitude and with words too sister. Even prophet Elijah had the stage of depression that's for a different reason though. You are focussing on eternal life a lot I guess it from your messages which is a good thing we don't often find this quality in recent times with this generation believers. I hope the best for you in every channel of your life.
