Please pray

I found out Friday that the bank I work for has been sold. We have been fighting this final demise for a little over a year now and unfortunately we have lost. While on one hand it is a relief to finaly have an answer to the unknown question of whether we were going to make it through these tough times. It is still extremely saddening and dissapointing at the same time. I have been there for a little over 8 years now and have been a part of many changes and consolidations and have seen us take over other banks. As of right now, I do not know how long I will have a job. I know that the deal does not close until the end of the year but from there I don't know. I know that God has a plan for me and my family. I just need to continue to trust and have faith that even though we may come out of this a little scarred and maybe even battered, God is still here and is going to see us through.
I pray for all of the employees of the bank as we prepare for the transition. I pray that we will be able to put brave faces on as we interact with each other and our customers. I pray that you will give us strength to go into work with a chearful heart everyday knowing that it may be our last day there. I pray that the job loss will be minimal and those who lose their jobs will be able to recover quickly and find new jobs. Lord, please give us all peace and forgiveness in our hearts.

There is nothing too large for God to handle and God won't give us anything that we cannot handle.
