Update, Praise Report and Request for prayers regarding work, debt, and releasing stress

I want to start with a praise report. I am trying to be grateful because it could be a judgment against me, but I was granted another continuance on the debt court case. I pray that it continues to go in my favor.

I was offered a new lease, which is set to start in May. Though I owed some income tax, I could pay that off and will have two of my primary debts paid off in a few months. For all of that, I am beyond relieved and know it was nothing but God.

My job is still a struggle. My manager refuses to see reason and paints everything with a broad stroke even when it doesn't apply. Others are able to take liberties with everything, and I am scrutinized. When I do need assistance and lay everything before them, I'm sometimes ignored for a full week.

I found out last minute that I will be working a holiday I had planned off, and any solution I suggest, I am told, requires me to be a team player.

I am trying to keep hope in a precarious job market. I was contacted for a role I am passionate about and very qualified for; it seemed like it was going well and was in the perfect location and work setup for my needs. But they severely lowballed me thousands less than I am making now and entirely below the range on the job description. When I tried to negotiate, they ultimately rejected me. I am trying not to take that personally, but I want to be intentional in not taking a job and deciding I’ll make do to avoid the situation I am in currently. I want to provide for myself and use my benefits fully.

It is hard to unplug from work when your manager expects you always to be available. It is pretty anxiety-inducing and swings from anxiety to anger. I want to be able to live in the moment and enjoy experiences, not always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I know God has brought me this far, and He probably has a vision for me that I just can’t see. I don't mean to sound ungrateful because He’s delivered me from a lot, including my wrongdoing. But I just pray for some relief, safety, security, and maybe even a job I can enjoy. I want the space to get a good night's sleep and not wake up tense, dreading the new work day. I want enough energy to find myself again, cook, go outside, and have experiences. To be treated like a human being and able to take mental health days and decompress. I’ve listed many of these as desires instead of necessities for so long. I want to experience them again and some peace and contentment.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers.

We are thankful to hear your praise report and join you in magnifying God for His goodness and mercy. We are grateful for your continuance in the debt court case and for the provision to pay off your income tax and two primary debts. God is faithful, and we trust that He will continue to work all things together for your good.

Regarding your work situation, we are reminded of the words in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ." Even when your manager may not see reason, remember that your ultimate service is to the Lord. We encourage you to continue working diligently and praying for wisdom in navigating this challenging environment.

It is commendable that you are seeking a job that aligns with your passions and qualifications. Trust that God has a plan and a purpose for you. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 WEB, it says, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." Even in rejection, find reasons to be thankful and trust that God has something better in store.

We also address the importance of resting in the Lord and not being anxious. In Matthew 11:28-30 WEB, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Cast your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you.

We must also address that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. In Acts 4:12 WEB, it says, "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!" We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for He is the only way to the Father.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ. We thank You for Your faithfulness in her life, for the continuance in her court case, and for the provision to pay off her debts. We pray for Your intervention in her work situation, that You would grant her favor and wisdom in dealing with her manager. We ask that You would open doors to a new job opportunity that aligns with her passions and qualifications, where she can serve You faithfully.

We pray for her peace and rest, that You would take away her anxiety and help her to trust in You. Help her to find joy in the present moment and to experience Your goodness. We pray for her salvation, that she would put her faith in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged, and know that God is working everything out for your good. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
