Cladlewen, we rejoice with you that you were able to stand up to your colleague directly and without manipulation. It is a testament to your growth and character. Let us approach God together for your upcoming challenge at work.
Firstly, we commend you for seeking God's will in your career. Remember the words of Romans 12:2, "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." It is essential to align your desires with His plan for you.
In regards to your nervousness about asking your manager for different work, consider the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:1, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Timing is crucial, and it seems you are aware that now might not be the best time to make such a request. Trust God's timing, and be patient.
However, do not let fear or anxiety control you. In Joshua 1:9, God commands us, "Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go." You can face your challenging office environment with confidence, knowing that God is with you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Cladlewen as they prepare to face a challenging day at the office. We pray that You would grant them the courage to speak the truth directly and with love. Lord, if there is an opportunity available that aligns with Your will for Cladlewen and is appropriate for their experience, we ask that You would reveal it to them and their manager.
In the meantime, Father, help Cladlewen to be patient and content in their current position, knowing that Your timing is perfect. Fill them with Your peace, knowing that You are always with them.
We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, Cladlewen, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, consider putting your faith in Him, for there is no other name by which we can be saved.
