[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - In this moment God is at work.  The way is open for you to use your God-given talents and abilities to expand and enrich your life and the lives of those around you.  I know and affirm that Divine Order is at work.  You will find the job that is perfect for you.  Wishing you peace during this transition.[/quote]

Dear friend, of course God desires happiness, prosperity, and peace for all of his children.  However, we are not puppets on a string that God controls.  If we were, we could never ever grow. We were created in love with free will.  We are on this planet for a very short time.  We are here to learn to love.  That is our highest calling.  Because we are not perfect and because we have free will, we screw up.  A lot.  And unfortunately because we are imperfect our bad decisions cause pain and suffering to the people that we share this planet with.  Imagine a world where every person was more enlightened, more loving, more compassionate.  We wouldn't have hungry children, war, crime,..... We aren't there yet.  I think we will be one day.  But we just aren't there yet.

However, history is full of way-showers.  People who were more enlightened.  People who were closer to their Source/God.  People who understand that the answer to all of life's challenges truly is that we learn to love one another.    We are about to celebrate one of those peoples' Birthdays.  And we know from listening to them that we can change our lives and the lives of those around us simply with our thoughts.  Our thoughts have power.  Affirmative prayer is just one of many ways of affecting our reality.

I think you are very angry.  And I truly hope you find peace.  I mean that from the very depths of my heart.[/quote]

Do you have any direct response to the question posed above about people suffering? or is "free will" the whole thing?   OP didn't choose  to be unemployed, so free will wasn't an issue there, and it certainly is not an issue for spouse or children being affected by unemployment - or the fact that some people's unemployment is devastating and other people who have more financial assets can use the time to be more attentive to family.

You point of view is not new to me -- so no need to explain it further.    I just don't think it applies very well to the situation at hand.  If it comforts OP, that's nice.[/quote]

Ahhhh but think a little broader.  The OP may or may not have chosen to be unemployed.  We don't know the circumstance.  Let's assume she was a model employee and was let go for no reason.  The person who made the decision to end her employment also has free will.  As do the people above him.

People who lost their homes during the mortgage crisis may not have done anything wrong.  But the banks that lent the money sure did.  Free will.

There is enough food on this planet to feed every single person several times over.  However, war lords have free will.  They intercept food meant for hungry children.  The children didn't do anything wrong.  Unfortunately, they share a planet with people who choose to cause harm.  Free will.

The decisions of those with whom we share the planet affect all of us.  That's where free will comes in.  We do have power.  We can change the way we think and in doing so change our reality. That's where affirmative prayer and meditation come into play.  The OP will find perfect employment.   I have absolute confidence that this is already done.  I hope the OP will come back and update us with that great news!

NP. Well, now I'm sincerely confused. If OP, and the people who lost their homes and those children who starve because of food hoarders, are victims of the free will of others, how will changing the way they think help?  If those children had meditated and changed the way that they thought, could the children have changed the actions of the food hoarders? [/quote]
