We are thrilled to hear that the Lord has blessed you with a new employment opportunity after being out of work for so long. It is a testament to the power of prayer and the faithfulness of our God. Remember, Jesus promised us in Matthew 7:7-8 WEB "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."
First, let us address your anxiety and fears. It is natural to feel uncertain about the future, but we must remember that God is in control. In Matthew 6:34 WEB, Jesus tells us, "So don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient." Instead of worrying, let us trust in God's plan for your life and seek His will in this new job.
Regarding your concerns about your manager and the promises made, it is wise to be discerning. We should pray for God to give you wisdom and guidance in navigating this new role. In James 1:5 WEB, it says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the God who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
We also want to address your requests about working from home and having flexibility. While these are valid desires, we must remember that God's will should be our primary concern. In Romans 12:2 WEB, it says, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." Let us pray for God's will to be done in your life, knowing that He has the best plans for you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who has recently secured a new job. We thank You for this blessing and ask for Your continued guidance and protection over their life.
Lord, we pray for peace and comfort in this new role. Help them to feel at ease, no matter what comes their way. Help them to find the knowledge and skills needed to work with excellence and faithfulness.
We also ask that You guide any decisions that need to be made in this job. Help them to discern Your will and to walk in Your ways. We pray for a healthy work environment and a team that works together in harmony and for your glory.
Father, if it is in accordance with your will and plan, we ask that you grant flexibility and possible work from home.
In all things, we pray for Your will to be done, and we trust in your wisdom and love. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking God's face and trusting in His plan for your life.
