Dear Lord, I need to find another job. While the one I have is a paycheck but I took it out of need rather than considering what I was getting into. I am grateful for the employment except that It's just not meeting my needs on a lot of levels.

I pray deliverance to one that will meet & exceed my needs. Thank You for everything Lord. Amen

🙏 Request for Prayers & Support 🙏 Please keep me and my team in your prayers. This month’s target is very important for us, but despite continuous hard work, we are still struggling to achieve it. For the last two months, things have not gone as planned, and sometimes it feels very difficult and discouraging. There are moments when I feel low and wonder why things are not working, but deep inside I still trust God completely and believe that He has not left us. I have strong faith that God will guide us and give us strength. We still have 9 days left, and I truly believe that with God’s blessings, dedication, and teamwork, we can achieve our target. Please pray for me and my team: Shivangi, Tanya, Charu, and Nandini May we all succeed and be rewarded for our hard work. 🙏✨ Thank you for your prayers and support.
