Dear Lord, I need to find another job. While the one I have is a paycheck, that’s about all & it's not a very good one as I took it out of need rather than considering what I was getting into.

I pray deliverance to one that will meet & exceed my needs & use the talents & abilities You have blessed me with. For my family, friends & special intentions, the right new job ... I need to bring everything together & own my family home outright so my siblings may have their portion & I can live there happily within our/my means, without a huge expense.
