Prayer request: laid off

Stay positive and make the most of your time off. The days are going to pass either way so enjoy as best you can.

[HotKat]

This is very hard. I know from personal experience. I’m praying for you.

[SoFloFreeper]

Prayers up. Believe me, I hope you find something soon.

[NobleFree]

What line of work are you? Are you willing to re-locate?

Data scientist. Only as a very last resort - our grown married children are putting down roots here.

[OrangeHoof]

I went through this five times in the past decade, never for cause. Always because someone somewhere decided that our workgroup was expendable.

As you pray (and I suppose that you are since you ask us to pray for you), remember this key phrase: “Not my will but Thy Will be done.”

God was not surprised by this and there may be lessons He wants to teach you before providing the next job. Ask Him to close the doors He does not want you to go through and open the door He wants for you to take and He will be faithful. It may take longer to get a new position but you’ll be happier in that position than the one you thought you wanted.

[NobleFree]

Don’t waste time, get back in the saddle asap.

It happened yesterday; and yesterday I got 5 applications out.

[NobleFree]

Data scientist.

[Bommer]

Sorry but what does a data scientist do?

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Prayers up on your, and your families behalf.
Rest assured that the Lord knows of your plight,
and is there to comfort you.
Trust in the Lord !

[SoConPubbie]

You have my prayers!

Don’t waste time, get back in the saddle asap

I agree wholeheartedly with this advice. In nearly every instance I've had people who have been laid off say that in a year's time they wind up better off -- many times, much better off -- with new opportunities they would otherwise not known about or pursued. Applies to me, too!

Best wishes for your continued success ... and for your good health.

Payers up! Have faith, I was laid off mid-January and am starting a long term contract Monday morning.

[NobleFree]

Pretty good explanation here: “Data science is the field of study that combines domain expertise, programming skills, and knowledge of mathematics and statistics to extract meaningful insights from data. Data science practitioners apply machine learning algorithms to numbers, text, images, video, audio, and more” - https://www.datarobot.com/wiki/data-science/

[NobleFree]

Congratulations! The Lord does provide.

[MomwithHope]

Prayers up! Believe you will find something better.

[ransomnote]

Father in Heaven, please restore NobleFree’s employment swiftly and with work that is a blessing in that it draws on NobelFree’s best skills and blesses them with a feeling of satisfaction. I pray that you draw NobleFree and family together in your arms to steady and comfort them in a manner they can perceive. I ask these things in Jesus’ name, Amen.

[JoeFromSidney]

Prayers up. Keep us informed of your job search outcome. Best wishes for you and your family.

[SharpRightTurn]

I pray you find good employment soon, NobleFree. May the Lord watch over you and keep you.

[generally]

Dear Father in heaven,

Please bless Noble Free with all that he needs. Sustain him financially and help him to find meaningful work or whatever works best in your plan for him.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11
