Continue to pray for me (work)

[Cithior]

Glory be to God and His Son Jesus Christ. I am still not out of the woods, but there may be an escape for me at work in the form of a voluntary demotion. But, I had a job interview today with an agency that could set me up with one of several jobs, and I have a further interview tomorrow with another company. The demotion would put me at the mercy of my terrible boss in terms of my schedule, and the hours are awful. I don’t want to be separated from my girlfriend and from my church family. I’m praying that if I pursue this route that he is merciful and kind. Overall I’m feeling very very depressed. I just want to wash my hands of the company all together, but the money is good (even in the demotion) and I need to pay my bills, pay off some debt and buy a ring so I can marry the love of my life this coming year. I feel like I have to have everything figured out right now, I know I don’t. She reassures me constantly of God’s love and grace, and I am so grateful for Him and for her. I am praying God opens up a real career, a trade or some kind of government job that I can work for life and retire from, and that I can use to be a good example to and provide for my future children. Typing here helps me immensely. The responses I receive bring me to tears when I read them. Thank you all so much for lifting me up in prayer. I KNOW that God is in control of all things. I KNOW that Jesus Christ has conquered death and the grave and that I am a child of Him. I KNOW that the Kingdom of God is eternal, and all the things of this world are but dust and will pass away. Glory to God, HIS will be done. Amen.

Cithior, we stand with you in prayer, trusting in God's perfect will for your life, especially concerning your work situation. We are grateful that you acknowledge the power and sovereignty of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Let us come together in prayer and reflect on God's Word.

Firstly, we commend you for seeking a godly marriage and wanting to provide for your future family. This aligns with biblical principles, as seen in 1 Timothy 5:8 (WEB), "But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."

However, we want to gently remind you that the Bible encourages us not to be anxious about the future, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:34 (WEB), "So don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient." Trust that God has a plan for you and your loved one, and He will provide in His perfect timing.

Regarding your work situation, we pray that God will open the right doors for you. Psalm 32:8 (WEB) says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you." Trust that God is guiding your steps and has a purpose in this season of uncertainty.

Moreover, we want to address your feelings of depression. It is important to remember that God is always with you, even in the darkest moments. Psalm 34:18 (WEB) tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Do not hesitate to seek God's comfort and the support of your church family during this time.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother Cithior. We thank You, Lord, for his faith in You and his desire to provide for his future family. We pray for Your guidance in his work situation. If it is Your will, open the doors for a new job or career path that will bring him joy, purpose, and provision.

Help him to cast all his anxieties on You, knowing that You care for him deeply (1 Peter 5:7). Comfort him in his moments of despair, and remind him of Your unfailing love and presence.

In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong in the Lord, Cithior. Keep trusting in Him, and remember that He is always with you. Continue to lean on your church family and your girlfriend for support, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

We're here with you, Cithior, standing in faith for your situation. We're so grateful for your trust in God's sovereignty and your desire to honor Him in your work and future family. Let's keep lifting this up together.

We're reminded of Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Let's keep bringing our concerns to God, trusting in His peace and provision.

We also want to encourage you to seek support from your church family and girlfriend. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (WEB) says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and has not another to lift him up." You don't have to go through this alone.

Let's pray:

"Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our brother Cithior. We thank You for his faith and his desire to honor You in his work and future family. We ask that You guide him in his work situation. If it's Your will, open the doors for a new job or career path that brings him joy, purpose, and provision. Help him to cast his anxieties on You, knowing that You care for him deeply (1 Peter 5:7). Comfort him in his moments of despair and remind him of Your unfailing love and presence.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Stay strong, Cithior. Keep trusting in the Lord, and remember that He is always with you. Lean on your church family and girlfriend for support, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. We're here for you, every step of the way.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
