\nLately, I’ve been working with many clients who’ve recently lost their
\njobs who are worried about finances and their future job prospects.<\/p>\n

Being unemployed can be very scary and challenging, personally and
\nfinancially. It’s a time that requires a great deal of faith and
\nfortitude. Here’s a list of tips that I recommend for all of our readers
\nwho have experienced a job loss.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Avoid negativity – Take a break from negative news and media. Even
    \nthough the job market is tight, many companies are still hiring.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Reconnect with family, friends and former business associates, they may
    \nknow of possible opportunities.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Re-visit your skills, talents and abilities. Perhaps you have skills
    \nyou’ve forgotten or that can be applied in a different way or field than
    \nyou thought possible.\n<\/li>\n
  4. Pay attention to how you are spending your time–it’s your most valuable
    \nasset! Be proactive in your job search everyday.\n<\/li>\n
  5. Get support if you need it – you don’t have to go it alone!\n<\/li>\n
  6. Create consistent self-care habits that will help you to stay healthy
    \nand positive. Eat well, exercise, take walks, pray, meditate, get plenty
    \nof sleep and avoid excess caffeine and alcohol.\n<\/li>\n
  7. Stay connected to others, be in community. Connect with others on
    \nBeliefnet<\/a> who are also going through tough times and can offer you
    \nsupport.\n<\/li>\n
  8. Keep your eyes and ears open – opportunities can present themselves in
    \nunexpected ways and places.\n<\/li>\n
  9. Don’t isolate yourself – get out of the house everyday and explore the
    \njob options in your own community.\n<\/li>\n
  10. Pray for God’s guidance and support to help you find your perfect job.\n<\/li>\n
  11. Visit our Beliefnet gallery of Prayers for Jobs and Money<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s a prayer for Employment:
    \n
    Heavenly father, please sustain my spirit as I search for new and meaningful work. You have blessed me with a healthy body and a keen mind for which I am grateful. I ask that you open my path as I seek employment that will allow me to support my family and myself while serving others and your divine purpose. In gratitude and grace, Amen.
    – Rev. Victor Fuhrman<\/i> <\/p>\n
