Prayer for The Unemployed


Here's a prayer to help our readers who are unemployed and searching for work. You can also offer prayers of support to these readers on our Financial Prayer Circle.

"My husband has been laid off since the second week of August.  It has been a very hard struggle for us. We've been through hard times before but never this long."

(read more...)

"My friend will be getting laid off from his job shortly. He and his wife have 3 children. Please pray that he'll be able to take care of them."

(read more...)

"Please Pray She finds suitable employment to sustain her living quarters and also help others in need!"

(read more...)


Dear God,
I pray and ask for your love, guidance and support
in helping me to find meaningful work that will make
good use of the skills and abilities you have given me.
Help me to stay positive, hopeful and awake to new
possibilities. Give me strength, courage, faith and trust
that everything is unfolding perfectly for my highest good.
Help me to receive into my life all the resources that I need
- mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially - so that I
may experience sufficiency, ease and grace. May I be free
from fear of lack and limitation. I surrender this to you
and trust that all my needs are always met. Thank you for
the blessings you have given me, for your light, your love and
your protection on my life, my family and our home on earth.
I consider it done, and so it is.
Amen.

~Deborah Price

Peace & Blessings!

Wednesday's Blessing


Accepting Abundance

Today, I accept God's gift of abundance.
Today everything that I AM and have, that is Good,
is increased.
I identify everything I do with success.
I think affirmatively.
And with all my prayers, I accept abundance.
Whatever I need, whenever I need it,
wherever I need it, for as long as I need it,
will always be at hand.
I no longer see negation
or delay
or stagnation
in my undertakings.
Rather, I claim that the action of the Living Spirit
prospers everything I do,
increases every Good I possess
and brings success to me and everyone I meet.
Everything I think about and do
is animated by the Divine Presence,
sustained by the Infinite Power,
and multiplied by the Divine Goodness.
Amen.

Good News Friday: 173 Million Unite to End Poverty

A staggering 173 million people joined the United Nations on Wednesday --- breaking the Guinness World Record --- in a stand to end global poverty. In over 3,000 events around the world in 120 countries, people of all races, religions and cultures united in a collective voice to incite the leaders of the world to take action to stamp out global poverty.

During one event, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moonu said, "the global economic crisis has claimed at least 50 million jobs this year and up to 100 million more people are expected to fall below the poverty line."

It seems to me that the recession has a way of waking people up to what is going on around them. This year, over 60 million more people showed up to support "Anti-Poverty Day" than attended last year. That's quite a shift...yeah team!

Maybe we're actually getting to the point that we're standing up and saying it's just not okay to give billions of dollars to bail out Wall Street while millions live in poverty and go hungry.

According to the Borgen Project, a Seattle-based non-profit, for 30 billion dollars annually we could end world hunger. Compare that to the bailout of AIG, which cost us 180 billion dollars!

So, I was thinking...since we the people, now own 80% of AIG, perhaps we should mandate that they pick up the part of the hunger tab in lieu of paying those big bonuses?

Now that would be good news...and a little justice served.

All in favor...say I!
 
At least I know where to go to get 173 million votes. Let's thank all of those who are taking a stand!

Here's a great prayer for today:

May God bless us with discomfort
       at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships,
       so that we may live deep within our hearts.
 
May God bless us with anger
       at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
       so that we may work for economic justice for all people.
 
May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer
       from pain, hunger, homelessness and rejection,
       so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them
       and to turn their pain into joy.
 
And may God bless us with enough foolishness
       to believe that we can make a difference in the world
       so that we can do what others claim cannot be done.

Peace & Blessings!

Money Coaching Monday: Credit Card Practices Bankrupting Americans

Before the recession began a little over a year ago, credit card companies were offering some of the most attractive rates and balance transfers ever seen. Many people were using credit cards to not just supplement their lifestyles, but many also began using these offers as a means of financing their businesses.

It made sense to transfer an 8% SBA loan to a 3.99% fixed rate with a credit card company...that's quite a savings. The problem is that apparently these companies can't be trusted and their "lifetime" fixed rate offers were not worth the paper they were printed on.

As we speak, the banks that we bailed out with billions in federal loans, are now rapidly changing the rates and terms of their previous agreements and driving more and more people and small businesses into financial crisis and bankruptcy. Without cause or conscience as to the potential consequences they are creating for their customers. Customers who were paying faithfully and honoring their agreements no less.

That's right...you don't have to have been late, gone over limit, or done anything for that matter for a bank or credit card company to raise your rates, decrease your line of even increase your required minimum payment to twice it's previous amount.

Meanwhile, the new credit card law that Obama signed in May, which was meant to prevent these very practices from occurring, is not effective until July 2010. Effectively, what the government appears to have done is provided a window of opportunity to these companies to do whatever they please. By the time the law is effective, it'll no longer be needed and the damage will be done.

Personally, I think this could become the equivalent of the mortgage industry debacle that began the cycle of this economic meltdown. Millions of Americans have a credit card with a balance. If credit card companies continue with these blatantly abusive practices, the national default rates will increase. And we cannot afford another meltdown.

We greatly need to pass the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights and we need it now. I strongly urge you to contact Congress and your local representatives now. Tell them your stories and how these unethical and unfair credit practices are affecting you, your family and/or your business. Urge them to pass this new law before more Americans are driven into financial crisis and insolvency. Enough is enough.

Peace & Blessings!
