  8. Praying

    Lord, I thank you that you helped me to pray after making a couple of mistakes at work today. Fill me with Holy Spirit and let me find great favor at work despite my mistakes. They weren’t that serious mistakes, none hurt except probably my ego, but I still want to be a blameless representative of Christ at work. Would you help me? Fill me with grace and wisdom. Let me find favor because you’re with me when I’m surrounded by many who denounce you. Jesus, I need more of you.

  10. Mistake at work

    Dear Lord, you saw me. I gave a presentation today and for the large part, I knew my subject and I came across well. But I was nervous in front of my peers and leaders. I jumbled some of my words at times, talked a little fast, and at one point I was literally out of breath. Even though I was given many accolades today, I left kicking myself and feeling quite the failure. I know that I can do things going forward to keep this from going happening again. Right now, I am agonized. I know that You were with me and always will be. I am saved by Your blood but I’m beating myself up. Help me to let go, to keep holding on to you, and never forget who I am in Christ.

  20. Please forgive me lord

    Lord please forgive me. I did use the company fuel card to put oil into my home I have ran out of oil 4-5 times in the past two months.I know it’s wrong it is stealing. I lost my job I was fired. I ask the Lord for the people I hurt at my job To forgive me for losing their trust. My life is falling apart over the past six months. I lost my daughter in September and my judgment is not what it used to be. I have put fuel into the truck out of my own pocket Waymore than I have taken.. But that was my choice and my decision. This was poor judgment. I knew if I ever gave them the receipt of the money I put in the truck I would be told I shouldn’t have done that. My employer was so good to me they really were and since I have been there I never minded putting my own money into the truck if I was low on fuel. During the past two months my finances have gone south . It was 5Degrees out and I ran out of oil and had no money to put into oil. My judgment was well I have given into the company and I was taking a portion of what I put into the company back. I spent way more out of pocket that I ever took. But either which way it is long I should’ve asked and I never should’ve done it to begin With . I honestly had no other way to keep my family warm I don’t like to ask people for handouts and yet my judgment affected so many people and for that I am so sorry. I ask the Lord to please forgive me. . I ask for divine intervention to protect me and my family and I will make this right in someway shape or form. I just am asking for forgiveness. I am a good person at heart and I am a Christian and I want to be a successful devoted Christian and I made a huge mistake. I just am asking please pray for me and family And to anyone that I have ihurt n this process.. I am a psychological wreck my family is in so much pain from losing my daughter, I ask the Lord to heal my heart keep me on a righteous path . I have not been making good choices that are the right ones lately mostly financial I can say.please forgive me for this mistake I am a Good person at heart. I just want what’s best for my family and I’m just trying to be the man and Christian that I know I am capable of being. . I am alone I know I am on and I just want to be forgiven.

    I couldnt drive my car for a week and went to morning mass almost everyday……
    My priest preached never again to the whole concregation but it seemed like it was meant for me…
    He advised me it is in the past…
    But now im on unemployment without much money in the bank due to almost 25 years in debt.
    My prayer to Jesus is…Lord you know my comings and my goings…please forgive me of this serious mistake…….I trust in you Jesus….you were on Calvary…you arose from the dead…and I sincerely Believe that you will enable me to become a changed person. In my mind and spirit…and to never do this awlful unthinking thing againg…Ive hurt so many people…….
    Please Jesus have mercy on me and help me to acquire some employment as soon as you can…

    In your name Jesus ..I believe it to be done as of now….I praise your Holy name…I praise your Holy name…Jesus Christ…Jesus Christ +

  26. Please Pray for me

    I made a mistake at work. Unfortunately this caused my Director more work, which I feel awful for. I just received this wonderful job opportunity six months ago, and I already have made a huge mistake. I don’t know how to react tomorrow, I have apologized but what God I pray that my director moves past this quickly and she is able to correct quickly, as she has enough on her plate. I was feeling superior in my knowledge to my coworker, and I think this was a way of You showing me to to be that way. I understand and I am sorry God, I need this job to support myself. Thank you God for listening and being there to take my cries, as I know I don’t “thank you” enough for the good in my life.
