It's definitely not selfish to ask for prayer after being laid off. When you lose your job, you lose your sense of security. I will remember you in my prayers. Reading books by the motivational coach Vic Johnson really helped me and also this book by Brian Tracy, 'Reinvention': http://www.amazon.com/Reinvention-Ma...dp/B001UE7BNY/
The best thing is prayer, saying affirmations, and making a promise to yourself that you won't give in to negativity and defeat no matter what.
