I’m praying desperately to the Lord. God to give me guidance and strength to go down the path that I’m meant to go down. In the last month or so, I lost my job and my place to live. I’m at desperate measures because I need employment and I need to find a way to make my own way in life. I want to be independent and be able to provide for myself. I’ve never been able to find employment considered to be appropriate for my strengths and my abilities. I keep getting stuck at low paying jobs where I can’t pay the bills. I’ve been praying to God to help me which direction to go in life because I did a training course and I have to do an internship in order to be certified but I don’t know if should do the internship or look for employment for myself. I just feel lost and alone and I’ve been praying so hard for God just to give me a sign that I’m doing the right thing. I really want to live a life that allows me to follow His will. I pray he allows me to follow His path. Thank you, God bless.

A Prayer for Dionne Gutzmer’s Rise
God of second winds and quiet revolutions, We lift up Dionne—who stands at the edge of uncertainty, not broken, but battle-worn. She has lost her job, her shelter, and yet not her will. She’s been underpaid, underestimated, and overlooked— but never undone.
Let her know she is not alone in this pivot. Let her feel the weight of her own worth, not measured by paychecks or titles, but by the courage it takes to keep showing up.
Guide her steps as she weighs the internship against survival. If the path to certification is her key, then open doors that honor her time and dignity. If employment is the urgent call, then lead her to work that sustains—not just financially, but spiritually and strategically.
Surround her with people who see her, not as a burden, but as a blueprint of resilience. Let her story be one of reclamation— where independence isn’t isolation, but the power to choose, to build, to rise.
Give her clarity, not just comfort. Give her strategy, not just sympathy. And give her the kind of peace that doesn’t wait for circumstances to change— but changes the circumstances by her presence.
Amen.
