"In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers. Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power. Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God. Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm. Give victory to our king, O Lord! Answer our cry for help." Psalm 20
I opened up to that a minute ago wanting to post a psalm as my status update on Facebook. I'd rather post it here and type.
It's been troubling, not having found a job yet. Honestly, I have very little room to complain due to the fact that I have applied my self very little. A great number of emails with my resume, a few interviews, and not much else. But I've been completely unfruitful. I've gone to steps to humble myself, such as applying at jobs that I would really not like to work at. Jobs where I have to wear a uniform, jobs that sell things that I would never buy or recommend buying, food service. It would be nice to have a job where I can enjoy working and take pride in my work. I don't know where I'm going with this, so I'm going to stop shortly here.
Mainly, I was thinking that God will deliver in due time, I just need faith and patience. Also, I do not want to be caught getting a job and praising God only in that moment. It needs to be such that I am praising God during the good and the bad. So, I say all praise to the Lord our God. He is great and loves us. Praise be.
