Answered Prayers for Work and Provision
Peace and a New Position After Long Unemployment

This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.
Dear Fr. Marco,
For many months, I carried a prayer for steady work. The anxiety was heavy. After another week of silence from applications, I wrote my prayer down and sent it to your team to be carried in St. Peter's.
The waiting didn't end right away. But a quietness came over me that hadn't been there before. I stopped checking my email every hour. I could sleep through the night. Last Tuesday, I got a call about an application I'd almost forgotten I'd submitted. They offered me the role. It's not a flashy job, but it's good work with kind people. It feels like a place I can rest and be useful.
Thank you for carrying my prayer when I was too tired to carry it well myself.
Yours, Darius
