Did Someone Say PRAYER Works?

Wonderful news, indeed!! Oh yes there is always some light in the dark tunnel at the very bottom. Thankfully it is finally make it's way up to shine on you. We are not done yet, the prayers will continue my dear Tina! As I hope that all just keeps getting better and better. This really is great news. Thanks for the update.

I'm glad he is finally being reasonable. Maybe you should have filed charges against him a long time ago! It would still be good if you could find something else though, even if he seems to have come around.

its amazing what prayer (and a discrimination suit) can do huh?

hi tina it sounds like prayer and sticking to it have began to make your boss more of a human being too.So I am hoping you do get Fridays and Saturdays off to care for your wound on your leg. Surely the man has heard of diabetic problems like you have. I am glad he is behaving better., I hope it all goes great now and you can get your leg really healed. I know being a diabetic how slow everything heals on us. I will keep praying and hoping things really get great for you. action and prayer really do work.

I tend to separate both things. Although I believe in the power of prayer, specially of collective prayer as it unleashes a great amount of possitive energy, I also think that some things work because you fight for your rights (or for the rights of others). I am not so sure that your meeting would have had such happy ending if you hadn´t filed your complaint.

God IS certainly great and I'm pleased for you Tina. You acted and it's worked. As for Mum, she's not happy in the new place but - as she pointed out "it's early days" but she is adamant about one thing. She DOES NOT want to clean for 2 hours a day. This is something that has been sprung upon her at the last minute and she's not going to go along with it. You and Mum can fight together. Each can bring the other luck, I'm sure.

That is great to hear! He might have re evaluated his reaction to you when you filed the complaint and realized he was not treating you fairly. He may have also thought things through and accepted your request and knew you ment business once the report came to his attention. Sometimes people tend to get all worked up over an issue thats not really to the point of whats getting to him. Sounds like he had some reflection time. And it was to your benefit! And I am sure that the prayer had a part in softening his heart on this issue.

Prayers gave you the strength of your convictions, plus you knew you were right. It was easier for him to be nice over the phone, because no one was a witness. He also knows you mean business so he is going to comply with the law. I hope you get that other job, though.

you fileing that has got him worried so now he will act right for awhile I wouldnt drop it even tho he is actting nice nice now caongrats on getting your days off

Sounds to me like he got the wake up call he's been needing...glad things are going in a different direction now! Good for you!

I think that being proactive in all of this has helped you alot. I the claim you filed with the EEOC opened his eyes and made him realize some things. I couldn't see why he couldn't change your schedule for ages now. And he is just now seeing this? Not a very with it boss if you ask me. Glad it is working out.

That is great news!! I think the combination of prayer and filing a complaint fixed it all right up for you! lol! I am so glad that he became more reasonable about the whole situation. Evidently he knows how serious it is to have a complaint filed with EEOC! Way to go - we have to stand up for ourselves these days - if we don't we get run over! Good job my friend!! (but I'll keep praying anyway! )

Wow! Prayer is really the most powerful one could ever resort to. MOst people would only pay as a last resort and at desperate moments. We should remember that's the first thing we need to do in all situation as God always has an answer. I'm glad to hear one of your answered prayers. Hoping to hear more good news soon.

I'm glad things are getting better for you! Hopefully it continues.Sometimes that's what it takes. My 10 year old has the Philosophy that if someone keeps trying to make your life miserable to hit them. I tell him not too and recently a kid keep teasing him and annoying him so he hit him and he said the kids stopped doing it, He said that the kid even wants to be his friend now and he is his friend now. I don't get into my kids fighting and encourage not too but he does anyways and his philosophy does seem to work for him even though I don't want to encourage it since he can get into trouble or hurt someone too much!

It sounds like he got a little scared once he saw the paperwork. Good for you! I'm so glad that this has happened. God is certainly great.

Sounds like he finally woke up to the trouble he could be in! Yes, prayers help but God helps those who help themselves and you got on the ball and did what you should. That's when He steps in. I'm so glad to hear things are improving--now DON'T let up! Don't let him sweet talk you into withdrawing any complaints. I'm not saying this to be vindictive but if you back down he'll know he has some new tricks to play and manipulate people with while not adhering to the law.

Often it only takes an action of standing up for yourself to allow management to realize that you are an individual and are willing to go through the law to get your side heard. Management hates anything that will cost them money or even inconvience. What you did was stay strong and should that you were willing to cause them both inconvience and money. Those are the magic words and actions. Blessing

Hi Tina, That is great news. I'm glad to hear it. I was sort of afraid it would go badly for you, just for the fact of an impending law suit or whatever. Most bosses don't like being pushed into a corner. I'm glad that it turned out the way it did, and hope it continues to. I do believe in prayer... it might have had more to do that you were assertive and didn't back down, but we always attribute all things good to God. I'm glad he was nice to you too. Hope it continues.

Prayer changes many things. I have to a story to tell on how powerful prayer is. It was October 2009 when my sister was brought to the hospital because she was raped by four minor people. I was far from my home place at that time because I was studying in the city. I was giving out tracts to the different places of the city, and suddenly my cell phone rung. It's a text message from my older sister. she told me what happen to my younger sister. I was shocked with the news, and can't believe it. I didn't reply the text message. I just cried so much. This can't be, I exclaimed! I talked to my pastor with his wife. I told them what happen and they told them I need to go home to our province to visit my sister in the hospital. So, I did! When I reach the hospital, the room where my sister lied, I really cried bitterly. I just can't believed that she didn't know me anymore. She refused to talk to me, she just stare at me. She can't even talk.She's in trauma. I keep on praying to God to heal her, and also to comfort my family. After 3 days of stay in the hospital, I need to go to the city again because I still have classes. When I reached in the city where I currently lived, I just keep on praying day and night for my sister. It's the first week of November, I prayed to God that I don't want to received any material gift on my birthday on the 12th of November, all I want is a message from my family that my sister will be going home on that day. It's November 12 already, I went to church for our prayer meeting. It's 9pm already, still i didn't received a text message from them. I went home, I'm about to lose hope, but at 10pm, I received a text message, my sister text me that my sister had discharge order already and they can go home on the morrow. When I read it, I really cried because GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER ON THE DAY THAT I TOLD HIM. On that birthday also, I never received any gifts. But I am so thankful to my God for letting me experience miracle. I never forget it. I always claim to this promise of God when he says in the Bible, Call Unto me and I will answer thee and will shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3

When nobody is around,no else we can lean on. Talking w/ God lessens all the burden. Praying is the only solutions.
