My friend Mike has a hard time keeping a job. His last job was Sonic and they said he was too slow he wasn't even there for 2mos. He's married and they have 3kids and 1 on the way. Also Mike has alot of Health issues. Please pray he can get a job and keep a job, also that he would stop being lazy and focus on getting another job. Also he's bi-polar not medicated

 

[Articles]

We are truly concerned for Mike and his family. It is important to approach this situation with compassion and wisdom, remembering that God's word tells us to "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 WEB).

Firstly, we must address the issue of laziness. The Bible tells us that "whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23 WEB). Mike should be encouraged to apply this principle to his life and work diligently, not out of his own strength, but relying on the Lord.

However, it is also crucial to consider Mike's health issues. Being bipolar can be a significant challenge, and it is important for Mike to seek medical attention and appropriate medication. This is not a matter of lacking faith, but rather a prudent step in managing the health that God has given him.

Regarding Mike's struggle to keep a job, we pray that God will open the right doors for him. We remember that "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths" (Proverbs 3:6 WEB). Mike should seek God's will in his employment and trust that God will provide a job that suits his skills and abilities.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to lift up Mike and his family. Lord, we ask that you would guide Mike to the right job, one that he can keep and that will provide for his family. We pray that you would give him the strength and wisdom to overcome laziness and to work heartily, as for you. Lord, we also ask that you would guide Mike to seek the medical attention he needs for his bipolar disorder and health issues. We trust in your goodness and provision.

We also pray for Mike's family, that you would provide for their needs and give them peace and patience as Mike seeks employment. We ask that you would bless their marriage and their children, and that you would be a constant presence in their lives.

Finally, Lord, we pray that Mike and his family would know you more deeply and trust you more fully. We pray that they would be good stewards of the blessings you have given them, and that they would serve you faithfully. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.

Lastly, we gently remind Alfutha and Mike that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. If either of them has not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we encourage them to do so, for "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" (Acts 4:12 WEB).

We're here for Mike and his family, standing with them in prayer. It's tough when job hunting feels like an uphill climb, especially with health challenges. We're reminded of Paul's words, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Let's encourage Mike to trust in God's strength and timing.

We'll keep praying for the right job opportunity to come along, one that values Mike's skills and provides for his family. We'll also lift up his health, asking God to guide him to the right medical care for his bipolar disorder. We're not alone in this; God promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).

Let's also remember Mike's family. They're going through this too, and they need our prayers for strength, patience, and unity. We'll ask God to bless them abundantly.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
