Tubalcain2 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 this is a somewhat trivial prayer request compared to some, but i would like prayer for my acceptance as a student at a local farriers shop. he is a master and would be an honer to learn under. i asked him about it this morning , and i'm to receive his answer on monday. this really means a lot to me, and i'm REALLY hoping he will take me. thank ya'll for your support and encouragement.

Kevin Olson Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Prayers for stuff like this don't work so don't do it. What's goin to get you in is your wit, personality, and skill. I'm sure all these attributes are in fine shape. Don't worry. Happy thanksgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy thanksgiving Forget I am staff for a moment, but you started this.. so ..... Excuse me? Who say's that prayers dont work? As a Christian I am offended. God always answers prayer, its just that sometimes the answer is no. Back to the real question here, If he says no, then reply with : Thank you, I can understand about the apprenticeship, If you dont mind, may I help around the shop here and perhaps pick up on things when you are available instead, at least until I can get myself into an apprenticeship somewhere?? and show him you know how to use a broom, and take out trash. No joke, no one wants to do that, so you have gained points just by being willing to mow his lawn and things. it worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Steve is is right, as usual. If you have ever made the mistake of asking for patience, strength or such. Lots of pain and agrivation came my way as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubalcain2 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Preach it Brother Steve! i sincerely believe that God has the power to grant any request,or i would not have asked for prayer. I hope i've done my part well, and i'll leave the rest to Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 TC you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sometimes the path we are led down isn't exactly what We were thinking. But I think the prayers are heard and we are led yo be or learn what we need to or are on this path. We are flawed. Sometimes we also need a kick in the behind for reasons we don't understand. Steves advise is good advise but I hope you can get in if that is your passion to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 This is bordering on a religious discussion rather than just asking for a prayer. If there's anything to know about God is God doesn't need mere human defense, God has it covered. All the anger, hate and warfare over the millennia isn't about God it's about humans. Seriously, what in the universe could a mere human do to offend Go? However I've personal experience with prayers and how they work well not HOW they work as much as they do. I think it's ill advised to tell someone their prayers don't count, if you're going to tick God off that aught to do it. If so God will handle it. Al that being rambled about I'm uncomfortable asking God for for "things" for myself that don't have a direct effect on other's well being. About as close as I come is asking to be worthy enough to accomplish my goals. So, I'll bend a knee for you TC. Here's to you being up to gaining your goals. Now, lets all feel offended by another's beliefs, God will know his own and more importantly what's right or wrong. Frosty The Lucky.

Steve Sells Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I can be offended if I want to be. I just never heard of posting in a prayer list that prayer doesn't work It is more often we don't like the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Olson Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hey TC2 I meant no disrespect to your post. My fingers don't always type what my mind thinks. I don't usually pray for someone who is control of there own destiny. Like my first post its you and your skills that will get you in. I pray for things I have no control over like my sister in law fighting breast cancer. Mr. Sells sent me an incouriging pm along with a good story and I'm changing how I look at things. Thanks Steve! I pray God gives you the strength and courage to achieve your apprentiship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
