March 26, 2021 at 8:17 amI had a job opportunity that I literally felt was from God… I had been praying and searching over the last year and it literally came out of the blue. It was in an industry that I had a personal calling for (elder care), a growth step professionally, local so I didn’t have to relocate, and at a time in my life with my kids gone at college that I would have the time to devote. I had a natural connection with the directors interviewing me, people I would really love to work with. I felt so sure that this was it … So sure that I thought God would go before me in the interviews and give me the words. I wanted to “practice” leaning on God. As a result, at my second interview I was not prepared enough and should have anticipated questions that I did not. It was obvious and I was so embarrassed. Recognizing this after not as “leaning on God” but rather arrogance/laziness, I confessed, prayed for forgiveness, asked God for a “redo”, and then dug into what I needed to. I was so happy when I had a follow-on interview with their CPA firm thinking that God had indeed worked though my weakness and offered me a second chance. I was more than prepared and thought it went really well, but then about a week later got an email indicating they were continuing the search. So I didn’t lose it to sometimes else, I just lost the opportunity. This disappointment has crushed me … I really thought this was from God. I am so angry at myself for dropping the ball and still holding on to hope that God will resurrect this opportunity. I can’t get past this mentally… So I need prayers first for this great disappointment (that I just can’t shake) and Gods peace. And second wisdom if I should still reach out to the company to try to get another look. I have already done this once but heard nothing back. But I still in my heart think I’m the right guy for them as they are for me. Is there wisdom in continuing the pursuit and trying to find a way to re-engage? Is this Godly persistence or is it time to accept the outcome as God’s will and drop the bone? Sincerely, Hopeful for a second chance

March 26, 2021 at 10:58 amDear seeking to be a man of God,
Sometimes we need to look beyond what’s occurring in the natural. And believe the promises of God, in spite of what our eyes are telling us. It may look as all is lost. But God! Remember, there’s always a But God! moment we should be expecting. Try and get your eyes off of your circumstances, and put them on God, and His promises. When all seems to be lost, that’s when God likes to show up. It isn’t until we are forced to get to the end of our selves, and for all our efforts nothing looks as though it will ever change. That, that’s when God shows up.
Be encouraged! God is on His throne, He sees your need.
Believing that what God is preparing you to walk in, will exceed any thing you could ask, or think according to the power that works in you. (Eph. 3:20)
In Jesus name. Amen! 💓seeking to be a man of GodPrayers: 2Requests: 1

March 26, 2021 at 12:02 pmLife is hard and Sometime it is beyond our understanding but God is good, faithful and loving. No matter any circumstances, he is the way, truth and life. Just trust! In 2017, my husband got accident and he still need treatment and care. In 2019, I found my brother in law past away. At the beginning 2021, I pray and made mind that we will have a good year. A few days late, my youngest brother told me my oldest past away suddenly at 58. We are still morning but after 20 days late, my oldest sister past away suddenly too. She left two daughters without parents. My mom is almost 80 years old. They all live in China. I haven’t visit them for almost 10 years. You can imagine my life here in USA. Thank for God’s mercy and DAB family! I get my strength and hope. God ❤️ us and we are his children. He is in control!!!

March 26, 2021 at 3:46 pmI pray for the wisdom on how to navigate this situation. Sometimes what we want and God’s will might be different, keep believing when its hard. It Not everything we see is in the physical so take heart, maybe pray about it and which ever way God is leading you, go ahead.
