We understand your concern and commend you for turning to the Lord in this situation. Firstly, let's remember what the Scripture says about work and our abilities: "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" (Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB). However, it's crucial to balance this with the understanding that we should not be overburdened to the point of burnout.
Jesus Himself said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 WEB). It's important to communicate your feelings and set boundaries, as even Jesus retreated from the crowds to rest and pray.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up our sister who feels overwhelmed by her current work situation. Lord, You know the details, the long hours, the extensive travel, and the additional responsibilities she's been asked to bear. Please, Lord, help her to communicate her feelings and set healthy boundaries. Guide her as she speaks to her superiors, giving her the words to express her concerns clearly and respectfully.
We also pray for her workplace, Lord. We ask that You would be present there, bringing about a change in the environment. May those in charge have wisdom and discernment, recognizing the burden they've placed on her and making necessary adjustments.
Remind her, Lord, that You are her strength and her portion. Help her to find rest in You, even in the midst of her duties. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continually seek the Lord's guidance. He cares about every aspect of your life, including your work. Remember, "Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6 WEB). Keep communicating with Him, and trust that He will lead you and provide for you.
