Dear Freepers
Despite all the bad news in the world, we have some positive news. For example, some companies are considering hiring non-jabbed staff.
My life has to work around the jab, like many people. Everything was on hold for more than 8-9 months.
Despite my faith wavering, the Lord has spared me from the jab. For this, I am grateful for His Grace.
I feel that if I have faith, my life can turn around in a very positive way and God will let me into the "Promised Land" (a figure of speech, not necessarily Israel).
Please say a prayer for me to maintain my faith and let God let me into the "Promised Land".
Thank you!
Sure thing
May you glorify God in your walk and may He bless you and those close to you.
Prayers for you FRiend, God is ALWAYS there when you need Him if He hasn’t stepped in yet it’s because He knows you can handle it.
🙏🏻
🛐🛐🛐
I was never worried about losing my job over the shot because I had faith. If I had lost my job, it was just part of the plan. For the people who say they believe and God yet took the shot out of fear, It may be time to reevaluate their trust in God.
Prayers up. My brother had to get the jab for work. I was lucky I had planned to retire April 1 2020. They Closed the office March 18 so i got two free weeks. never had to deal with it except to go to the store.
You have my prayers.
even in these times with the horrible people running our govt, its good that we pause and thank God for what we do have...prayers.
I just found this and hope this will help:

-Pastor Marcus Elmer, Summer 2007
Dealt with the vaccine mandate for 2 months at the University where I work as a professor. I capitulated and submitted a religious exemption which was accepted. Pisses me off that I had to go to this level to deal with the lunacy which existed. Alas, I am a full professor of 32 years and have no intentions of finding a new life for employment.
Praying for you.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6.
In fact, the entire 3rd chapter of Proverbs is a blueprint for success in all you do, as you follow the LORD. What an enormous treasure trove in one place! The LORD bless you as you seek Him and His will.
Amen! Prayers for you!
praying for continued strong faith and boldness!
I agree, totally unacceptable. we should be able to exercise our FREEDOM without a ‘religious exemption’. glad you got it though.
Prayers up
Prayers for you and your family 🙏
Prayers for you. :-)
