Prayer for the economy to turn around
by James
(Chelsea, Alabama)
Please pray for me. I am so scared, so alone, so overwhelemed. I feel lost and in a financial situation that I feel is hopeless.
Ten years ago I was fired from my management position with a large retail department store. I was 52 and faced having to start all over. After trying several jobs I could not find one that I wanted to make a career of so I decided to open up my own business.
My business (a small grocery/gas station) did well until last year when the economy went sour. I began "maxing out" credit cards and refinanced the business to try to keep the business open and to insure that my employees (5 of them)got their weekly paychecks.
I was out 3 1/2 weeks due to illness and bills just got behind. I am sure that the economy will turn around and I know that if I can just hold on I can get back on track! My problem is that I just don't have anywhere to go to get the cash needed to keep going until them.
I will be 62 on the 28th of this month and I don't know if I will still be in business on the 28th!
PLEASE pray for me to get BIG financial help.
