Hi, seems a bit selfish to ask seeming as other have bigger issues. But I can't seem to get enough work and only need one day per week or half a day in hours more than I have and have not been able to get anything for 6+ years of more than 2 days a week. There is nothing around that does not require me for a Sunday when I go to church. All store roles say must be available 7 days. I simply require a set amount of work I can do. Or more hours in another role ideally four days a week would be great but I simply cannot find the filler Job or another role that is not impossible to do for me physically. Working all hours would destroy any christian efforts so i try to find something I can do that is not a long drive and long hours, otherwise what am I alive for. My role is seasonal also. I simply need more stability and reliability hopefully four days, but 3 would be fine. If someone could pray for this for me this would be great, thanks. Also, for me to have a better relationship with God as it is a bit bad due to hopelessness. I have no zeal or effort anymore. A bit of help please. Thanks.

have you thought about employing yourself in some capacity as in the talent God gave you? & about working on a Sunday: what God means is do not work on Sunday for selfish gain, just to pile up more money in a materialistic way. medical workers, police employees, store owners & emergency maintenance workers work on Sundays. these are all needful & necessary for the sustainability of human life. if you miss church, there's always a way to communicate with Jesus. will pray for you.

Gonna say a prayer for you Dave to work out the details. Perhaps he will find a different job with higher pay. That would be a step up, work the same hours but get paid more.
