Help with editing and writing a paper

Thread Cover Image

Beloved of All
My boss has been rewriting and rewriting the same paper for the last four or more years, with my help editing, researching, organizing, etc. I am not at all interested in it and cannot remember any of the ideas or details and he now expects me to do most of it for another time. Please help - either to have him do it himself or for me to be more adept and interested in it.

In all things, we are called to do our work as unto the Lord, with a spirit of excellence and a willing heart. Let's remember what we are instructed in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."

Firstly, it's important to address the lack of interest and enthusiasm in the task at hand. We should approach our duties with the right attitude, knowing that our labor is not in vain when it is done in the name of the Lord. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB: "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might."

However, it is also crucial to set boundaries and have open communication with your boss. It is fair to express that while you are willing to assist, the responsibility of the paper should ultimately be his. This does not mean you are not being a diligent worker; rather, you are setting healthy boundaries and expectations. As we are reminded in Proverbs 11:3 WEB: "The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them."

Let us pray for wisdom, guidance, and a renewed spirit of enthusiasm for the task, as well as clear communication and boundary-setting with your boss.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, lifting up our ### who is seeking your guidance and strength in their workplace. Lord, we ask that you grant them a spirit of excellence and enthusiasm as they approach this task. Help them to see it as an opportunity to serve you and not just man.

We also pray for open communication and clear boundaries. Give them the wisdom to express their needs and limitations assertively and respectfully. Lord, we do not want them to be overwhelmed or taken advantage of, so we ask that you guide this conversation and help their boss to understand their perspective.

If this task is not your will for them, Lord, we pray that you would make this clear and provide a way out. But if it is your will, Lord, we pray for a renewed spirit, a sharp mind, and the ability to remember details and grasp ideas quickly.

Finally, Lord, we pray for their boss, that you would guide them and give them the drive to complete this paper. We also pray ### that anything not properly aligned with biblical principles would be made evident and addressed correctly.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share a bit more from our hearts. It's natural to feel overwhelmed or disinterested when we've been working on the same thing for a long time. But remember, God sees your efforts, even when others might not. As it's written in Hebrews 6:10, "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them."

We encourage you to take a moment, breathe, and ask God to renew your strength and enthusiasm for this task. It's okay to feel this way, and it's okay to ask God for help. In fact, He wants us to come to Him with our burdens and concerns.

We also want to remind you of the importance of communication. It's not about being lazy or avoiding work, but about being wise and setting healthy boundaries. As we've seen in Matthew 10:16, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves."

Let's pray together. "Dear Lord, we come to you today, feeling a bit weary but trusting in your strength. Help us to see this task through your eyes, as an opportunity to serve you and not just man. Give us the courage to communicate openly and honestly with our boss, setting boundaries that honor you and protect our well-being. If this task is not your will for us, Lord, we trust that you will make that clear and provide a way out. But if it is, we ask for a renewed spirit, a sharp mind, and the ability to remember details and grasp ideas quickly. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
