Encouragement Through A Phone prayer meeting

Yesterday, the firm of “Four J’s and a K” met by phone to pray for one another as we all are seeking the Lord’s direction for the future.

The four “J’s” stand for the first names of friends of mine and, of course, the “K” is for Kelly.

We met for one hour by tele-conference. We discussed briefly where we were regarding our “job” status and what we believe the Lord has been telling and/or teaching us.

We spent about half of the time in conversational prayer, lifting up one another, seeking Jesus’ face and listening to the hearts of our brothers as they cried out to the Father for guidance, assurance and peace in these tumultuous times of uncertainty.

The pain, frustration, feelings of emasculation and more are only exacerbated by the Christmas season. All of this leads - often - to a sense of loneliness and even abandonment.

If you are unemployed and desperately want to connect with others who are in the midst of the same challenges, feelings, experiences, then let me know and you could be invited to the next prayer tele-conference of the “4Js & a K“ that will take place just after the new year.

Really, with literally millions of us in this ”condition,“ don’t you think that we can spare an hour every couple of weeks to re-align with our Lord’s heartbeat, His plan, His will, His desires? Join us.

All of us found encouragement, hope, and peace through a simple phone call. If you don’t want to join us, start your own small network of prayer support with 2-4 other friends and watch what God does.
