People are being very hard on me at work lately. They are impatient, angry and cold. They express annoyance because I don't remember very minor details in the plethora of details I work with. They also document negative things they emphasize about me. My coworker has been gossiping about me to others speaking of me negatively and they believe her. I pray and beg for miracles in my career - in my job and on my overall path. If there is something better for me elsewhere with better pay, please make that apparent for me soon. I would prefer to work from home so I don't have to deal with work politics, jealousies, and envious actions. I have been told by doctors and counselors that I don't need to be perfect but these people all are expecting perfection and very quick actions from me. Please let me know in an obvious way where the Lord wants me if not here. Thank you.
Blessed be St Michael the arc angel, St Gabriel, St Raphael, St Chamuel, St Jophiel, St Zadkiel, St Uriel ,St Ariel, St Raziel, blessed be all the saints,martyrs,apostles,disciples,all the angels and spirits in the entire Universe and beyond.

Dear Lord and Saint Anthony, I am beyond hopeless and afraid. I often just don't want to be here anymore as the issues seem to pile up and overwhelm me. School is expensive, has an agenda that is anything but educational and is now longer than anticipated, I woke up, and I was old and alone (I was unprepared and ill-equipped), and now my rent may be doubled. How can I overcome these challenges on my own? It is so much. I honestly just want the load removed. Please Lord, hear my prayers. If my work here on earth is done, I am fully prepared to leave. Amen.
To foil the attempts of those @ work to undermine me. Please help Lord. Thank You for everything. Amen
