Prayer

Good Day To All,

Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

I received the following note from my friend Joe Priester:

I hope this finds you well, and I would also humbly ask for prayer for something.
I have found out that my job is ending, and by 4/1 at the latest, maybe much sooner. I have no leads yet, but am blessed with having a couple recruiting firms helping me, and so am not too worried. But I need a hedge of protection from the saints, and would appreciate (covet) your prayer. If you feel inclined, and as you are led, please consider me in your prayer. Let me know if there is anything you want me to lift up for you as well.
Love,
Joe.

Joe's note to me led me to this verse of Scripture. Of course, we are to make our needs known to God and to ask Him to help us in our times of need and want. I think Paul's writing to the Philippians about prayer is so very appropriate today for any of us who finds himself with a need in our life.
Of course, I will pray for his need at this difficult time in his life. I would ask all of you to join me in praying that Joe will find a good job in a timely manner. Let our prayers go to the Lord and let us pray that God will guide Joe to the employment that is not only gainful in a financial way but also a job that is fulfilling to him, as well.
Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
