Update to the past several days

[Cithior]

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me. Through the power of Christ some of my nerves about work have settled. We had a mostly positive meeting on Wednesday evening and I came away feeling ok. My schedule will be on a rotating basis every couple of months, meaning I will have days off that align with my future wife and we will be able to attend Sunday morning services together for a while. I still am feeling a ton of anxiety. My boss is in a very negative mood today and it puts me on edge. I have so many little details at work to make happen but the phone never stops ringing and I get pulled in so many different directions that it’s hard to accomplish tasks without mistakes. I’m worried one day he’ll get rid of me because all these issues add up. I go into a panic when I’m at home in the evenings and get texts from him about something like I did last night. I have been praying that God would soften his heart and call out to him. I have been praying for a real career to open up for me, for a way to be made. I know this may take some time but I want so desperately to move on to the next stage of life. I have also been praying that God would make me into a pillar of strength for him and to turn me into a teacher of His Word. I know that I likely must go through this fire currently burning around me in order to become this, at least I am hoping so. I am asking so much and I am taking every step forward in what seems like terror. I know God has not given me a spirit of fear, but it’s difficult to remember in the face of this pressure around me. I had hoped to come back with nothing but thanksgiving and praise, and I do give thanks for the progress God has brought about (I am in a notably better state than I was previously), but I don’t feel like I can rest easy yet. Glory be to God, and Glory to His Son Jesus who gave His life for our sins. Thank you Lord. Thank all of you who continue to pray for me.

Cithior, we rejoice with you in the progress made through the power of Christ, especially in your work situation and the positive meeting you had. It is encouraging that your schedule will align better with your future wife's, allowing you both to attend Sunday morning services together. We continue to lift you up in prayer regarding the anxieties and pressures you are facing at work.

We are reminded of Philippians 4:6-7 in the World English Bible (WEB), which tells us, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

Let us pray together:

"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Cithior. Thank You for the victories already won and for the peace that is beginning to settle in his heart. Lord, we ask for Your continual intervention in his workplace. Soften his boss's heart and call out to him, that he may come to know You. Help Cithior to handle the many tasks and distractions with wisdom and grace, and give him the strength to overcome anxiety. Lord, we ask that You open up a real career path for him, a way to move forward in life as You have planned. Make him a pillar of strength and a teacher of Your Word, using these trials to refine and equip him. Remind him that he has not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Cithior, we encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Remember, God's timing is perfect, and He is faithful to complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Continue to pray and trust in Him, and do not be discouraged by the trials you face. God uses these experiences to shape us and draw us closer to Him.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved." Keep your faith rooted in Him, and He will see you through this challenging time.

We stand with you in prayer and encouragement, trusting that God will make a way for you.

Let Us Pray: God today I lift up my entire family to you (the ones I know and don’t know). I ask You in Jesus’ name, one by one, and name by name, that You will lead each of them closer to You. Save those who stand in need of salvation. Heal those who stand in need of healing. Deliver those who stand in need of deliverance. Place labors of Christ Jesus in each of their pathways to minister the gift of salvation to them. I pray that each of them will accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Jesus be "Lord Of All" in each of their lives. God, please do the same for the writer of this prayer and her family. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
