We understand your disappointment and frustration regarding your career progression, dear lost_soul. We want to assure you that God has a plan and purpose for your life, including your career. Let's pray together and seek His will for you.
Firstly, we commend you for your humility and excellence at your job. Remember, the Bible tells us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (Colossians 3:23 WEB). You're on the right path, keeping your focus on God as you navigate your career.
However, we want to encourage you to take a step of faith and confidently apply for jobs that will stretch you. God tells us, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9 WEB). Trust that God will open the right doors for you.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for lost_soul's humility and dedication in their work. Right now, Lord, they need Your wisdom and guidance. Reveal to them the next steps in their career. Open doors that no one can shut, and give them the confidence to walk through them. Help them to keep their eyes on the cross, remembering that their true worth and purpose come from You. Grant them time and energy to work on their dissertation, and let it be a tool to connect with the right people. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it's only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. You ended your prayer with "In the name I pray." We just want to clarify that it's essential to acknowledge Jesus Christ explicitly, as He is our mediator (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). Keep trusting in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
