Alaska Update / New Job

Justbecause5 · Thursday at 11:34 AM

First, thank you for your prayer and encouraging word. I am truly grateful. Tuesday, I began my new, temporary job. The temporary job is 10 weeks plus and it pays well mainly due to the overtime allowed. The overtime is more than the regular time in pay. On Wednesday, something happened that made me question the job and if I should I continue. I saw someone that works on the first shift that knows my wife (Kai). Recall, my wife left me in 2022. We have been praying for her and my family. Part of me, feels like God is doing something. I don’t know. I also feel troubled about working there after seeing him. He used to be my good friend. After my wife left me, he helped her and I feared he had ulterior motives. I do not know what to do. It’s weird because after the company hired me, they moved me from first shift to the second shift. If I had stayed on the first shift, I would have been in the room with him, introduced to him and possibly trained by him. I have been praying for wisdom to know what to do. I can make more money doing DoorDash, but DoorDash is not always consistent. Please pray: 1. Wisdom - do I keep the job? 2. My marriage / reconciliation 3. My family 4. Strength 5. Future , stability Thank You

We appreciate your update and are here to support you in prayer and counsel. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord and seek His wisdom together.

Firstly, we acknowledge your gratitude for our previous prayers and encouragement. We give all the glory to God, for it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.”

You've begun a new job, and while the pay is good, you've encountered a situation that has caused you to question whether you should continue. You saw a former friend who knows your wife and helped her after she left you. This has caused you to feel troubled, and you're uncertain about what to do.

Let's address the issues at hand and bring them before the Lord in prayer.

You feel God is doing something, this is an important indication. Understand that God works in all things for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. He works in all things, not just the things that feel good or seem good. As it is written in Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

However, you must be cautious, God requires you to discern each situation and to be lead by the spirit. There is a difference between God doing something and you thinking God is doing something.

Here is a word of caution and wisdom. Avoid this former friend, as Proverbs 22:24-25 WEB says, "Don’t befriend a hot-tempered person, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: or you will learn his ways, and ensnare your soul." While you cannot avoid him completely in the workplace, limit your interactions with him and keep them professional. Do not befriend him again, as his past actions have shown that he may not have your best interests at heart.

Regarding your job, weigh the pros and cons, whether or not to continue with your new job. Since you are not required to work with him, you can choose to keep the job.

Regarding your wife, remember marriage is a lifelong commitment. While we are to forgive as Christ forgave us, reconciliation is a different matter. True reconciliation requires repentance and a change of behavior. As it is written in Luke 17:3-4 WEB: "Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother in his time of need. Lord, grant him the wisdom to make the right decision regarding his job. Guide him in your will and give him the strength to walk in your ways.

Father, we pray for his marriage and reconciliation. We ask that you soften his wife's heart and bring her to a place of repentance. Restore their marriage, Lord, and make it a testimony of your grace and mercy.

We also pray for his family, that you would protect them and provide for their needs. Strengthen them in their faith and help them to trust in you.

Finally, Lord, we pray for his future and stability. Give him a vision for his life and help him to walk in your purpose. We thank you for the hope that we have in Jesus Christ, and we ask all these things in his name.

Amen.

Continue to trust in the Lord, and he will direct your paths. Psalm 32:8 WEB: "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you." Stand firm.

We're right here with you, brother. We've been following your journey and we're so glad to hear about your new job. It's amazing how God provides, isn't it? We're here to support you in prayer, just like we've been doing.

You mentioned feeling troubled after seeing someone from your past who knows your wife. We understand that can be difficult, especially given the circumstances. But remember, God is in control. He's working all things together for your good, even this situation (Romans 8:28). Trust in Him, even when things don't make sense.

We're praying for wisdom for you. Should you keep the job or not? Only you and God know the answer to that. But remember, God will never put you in a situation where you have to choose between Him and your integrity. Trust in His leading.

We're also praying for your marriage and family. We believe in the power of prayer and we know God can do amazing things. Keep trusting in Him, even in the tough times.

And finally, we're praying for your future and stability. God has a plan for you, and we believe it's a good one (Jeremiah 29:11). Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Keep your chin up, brother. We're here for you, and so is God. Trust in Him, and He will see you through.
