Prayers Needed
 

I don't know where else to turn. I've been up all night praying to Saint Christopher to give me the courage and strength to make it through the day today. I have to drive around 400 miles today for my job. I'm an accountant and we acquired over 300 pizza parlors. The former owner is from the old school and went out and visited them every month and we don't want to shock them by stopping this tradition right away.

The partners think I can do this. I told them I don't think I can. I have a hard time staying focused and get lost easily even with a GPS. And I have to drive on the Atlantic City Expressway which I'm terrified of. I have to do this because if I don't I fear it's my job.

I will be praying that God will give you the strength and clarity you need to do this, or that He will find a way for you not to have to do it.

BJ - for 15 years I didn't think I could drive on any highway and I've just learned that I could if I prayed, asking for God's help and direction and was very careful.

And, maybe - just maybe - the Expressway won't be so busy today, at this time of year. I'll sure be praying for you AND the highway :D

Take care ... be safe. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Praying for your safety and for a good sense of direction today.... You can do this BJ!!!!!!!! :hug:
:circlelove:

((BJ)) We'll all be holding you close as you drive about! Take your time and try to enjoy the surroundings. And I'll be you are SUPER at dealing with customers! :hug:

(((((((BJ))))))))

I am praying that the Lord God will help you to accomplish this journey and keep you focused on Him all the way so that you will have peace and comfort, and not be afraid.

I have had some times of having to drive when upset and it has given me much comfort to know that the Presence of the Lord is very real and there with me all the way. May you have that reassurance that He is with you and that you are not alone.

I pray that you will find special blessings along the way:hug:

Sending prayers your way, BJ that you will get through today safely and w/the Lord as your co-pilot.

BJ becareful driving, I have MS and found recently on an evening with no choice we had to drive about 6 hrs there and back and if I stopped every hour to stretch it helped a lot, and I mean it helped. Becareful dont push too hard, my prayers and thoughts are with you

praying too for a peaceful birthday for you and that you will truly know how precious you are to us :hug:

Thank you all so much for the kinds thoughts and prayers. I did it :D It took me 16 hours and I got lost about a bazillion times but I survived.

It rained all day and it was real foggy and the conditions were terrible. I had a huge panic attack on the AC expressway and had to pull over just when I got on. Then I was on I95 and there was a 5 car accident so I got stuck there while they were towing the cars. At that point I started to freak out. All the images of when I had my accident came flooding back and didn't think I could finish. All I kept saying was if I don't do this I'll lose my job and my house.

I cried many tears when I was lost. I got so frustrated with myself that I can't follow simple directions and listen to what the GPS says. There were times when I had absolutely no idea where to go or turn. But I prayed, and He got me home.

I didn't get home until 10:45. I could barely walk when I got out. I'm not that old but I have arthritis in my hip already. Today I'm emotionally and physically drained from gripping that steering wheel so hard and concentrating and not losing focus but I'm proud of myself that I was able to do it.

God was my co-pilot and I had all my NT friends there with me. Thank you all :grouphug:

Thank you for the birthday wishes. I was going to take Hooper to the park but it's raining. So I'm going to take her to Pet's Mart and let her ride in the cart. I felt so bad leaving her in the crate all day and she loves to go riding in that cart. :hug:

AWW BJ! I feel for ya, as I too, get very anxious etc when I'm in unfamiliar territory and there is alot of traffic. It's hard for me to concentrate on turns, etc when I'm watching out for the insane driving of others.

Really glad your'e home safe and that is behind you.

Happy Birthday BJ!!!!

Awwww, I didn't see this in time to pray specifically about your situation, but you and everyone here at NT are always in my prayers.

So proud of you for doing what you did! I'm sure your boss has no idea what you went through to keep your job.

BRAVO!!! :You-Rock:

YOU DID IT GIRLIE!!!!! YAY!!!! We knew you could!!! :hug: But, sorry for all the hassle and freaking out you went through, and your poor hip. But still!!!...you did it! :D

BJ, I just saw this too,so I am late for the prayers, but I see God was your co-pilot and got you through!:D Gosh, I get nervous about just driving around my own town, I don't know if I could have done your 16 hour trip. I hope you feel proud, because you should. Belated Happy Birthday, and like others have said, I keep all my NT friends in my prayers including you!!:hug:

Oh yes He was definitely there with me. You have no idea, I was literally trembling when I got in that car in the morning. But I did it, that's all that matters. I wonder if I'll go in tomorrow and I'll be offered a raise? :rolleyes:

I new you could do it BJ. I had a peace about it. You have inner strength within you that is deeper then you know,because the Lord is with you. BF:hug::hug::hug:
