When There Are Problems At Work

When There Are Problems At Work

Lord,

There is trouble at my work. Please give
me the skill, tact and courage to fix it. Help
me be an example and a resource to my boss and
colleagues. Banish my fears and replace them with
trust in you. Help me remember that all jobs, no
matter how humble, are a calling from you, an
opportunity to practice following your ways and
making your presence known. Thank you for the
gift of work. Help me use it wisely.

- Amen.

    2. I too have had many issues at work, and have hated it too. But, the Lord has seen me through it all, and he will do the same for you. Hold on, trust in him, give this work problem to him, he cares for you so much. Nothing is to mundane or of no intrest to the Lord, if it concerns you it concerns him, take everything to him in prayer.

  2. May today there be peace within.
    May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
    May you not forget the the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
    May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
    May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
    Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
    It is there for each and every one of us." st. Teresa of Avila

  7. I have been so stressed at my job that is is bringing my morale down. I have always been one of the hard working employees. My last job I held for 3 years and I did not have any issues. I have been at my new job for almost two years and I have been very unhappy. No matter how much I try I get spoken to in a condescending tone. Almost nothing has a protocol and it always feels like I am doing something wrong. It makes me feel terrible and I do not like it because I do my work with integrity and I do not feel respected. I can not quit despite those facts because Im a single mother but I wont complain... thank you God

    1. I, too, have been so stressed at my new job. It seems like nothing I do is right. Rules change daily in the workplace. I am passionate about what I do, yet, it never seems to be right for my manager and director. In the pass 30 days, I have been written up for simple mistakes. I'm not sleeping well at night for the fear that I'm going to lose my job. I pray that Jesus be a fence around me and I pray that He turns things around for my good. It's just so hard to see that. The more I try to speak His Word on my job and ask Him to protect, the more trouble I seem to be getting in to. I'm asking God to please, please shield everyone on this site who is going through on our jobs as we need them now more than ever! I ask God to spark that fuse of FAITH that seem so dark on our jobs right now and bless those people who try to remove us from our jobs. Help them to see that You, God, placed us there and give us the strength to endure in the name of Jesus, amen!

    3. I, too, need prayers at work. I am so demoralized and unhappy. I want to be productive but they don't trust my abilities so they don't assign me projects. I fear that because of these, I will be a target for layoff. I have been very productive and looked up to in my previous work, but since I moved to this new department, I have been looked down to. I want to quit but can't afford to, I have a family to feed. Please, pray for me, I feel like crying everyday I'm here at work....

  8. I need prayers. At work, everyone talks about me. It is because I have different work values. Most of them do not know me. They just assume I am a rat because I try to do the right thing and what my boss instructs. I need a job but I am so miserable with the drama.

    1. I can relate. Drama at work will drain you mentally. I want to go to work and be happy. Not hoping that you don't have to loose your cool and loose your job. My job don't pay as much as my other one but it makes ends meet. I want to show my three kids that "As long as GOD is for you, NO ONE can be against you".

  19. I have been with my company for 60 days now and I had my 2nd one on one it did not go well at all. I eventually walked out of session and cried. I really like this company and want to stay here for a long time. My bosses goals are set way high for me because my level is high and I understand that but I am in the learning process still and finding it hard to meet his challenges I pray God you have put me in this place for the right reasons and that this is just a stumble that I will get up from. I pray Go that you give me the ability to complete the requirements of this job as it is expected of me. Give me the patience to do what I know I can do.. Amen

  23. I have been on my job for almost a year now. I thank God daily for this job but some of my co-workers are hard to deal with. I'm praying for peace and understanding in my work place. I have a family to help provide for so the option of quitting is out the window. I speak PEACE, no more back biting, speaking down on one another, nor judging. I'm trusting GOD. Thank you.

  24. I am two months into my job and I have faced some challenges. During the first few weeks I made some mistakes and my supervisor continues to give me a hard time. She says things like, "You have no attention to detail." And, "I'm watching you."

    I know that work is an essential part of life, but sometimes it is so hard.

    Please pray for me.

    1. Amen to your prayer. Some people repeat quotes and sayings and don't think anything of them. I believe we should watch even them. My point is in love. You should stop using this cliché..."(Blank)is killing me".

    2. I pray that changes will come. I totally understand. I am a resudential manager at a group home. I am net with staff not wanting to do what is asked of them. My boss for as long as I have worked with her believes everything that is told to her. She come to me, your voice tone, how can I change my voice at 68years old. I go to her asking a question. She runs to the CAO before she knows my reason. Then she wants to know if I have a problem with her. Can you imagine? So I now just question her about everything before I say ir do anything.

    5. Oh my gosh. This sounds so familiar. My boss has told me I'm condescending, nit picks every thing I order, keeps me from going to the management meeting I need to be involved in to be an expert in my position, but when I ask her something her reply is "you're the expert"...I feel your pain...it is mine. I've worked since I was in high school and have a work ethic which seems to be lacking in 98% of the people I work with, so this treatment is hard to deal with. I asked the Lord for strength and a prayer when yet another issues came up with folks twisting something I did and the boss quizzes me. I think God gave me this site to let me know I'm not alone

  36. Dear lord, I am thankful for all you provide and my children, job and my health but most importantly that I have found a relationship with you. I ask that you strength me when and if I try to slip away. I have never been as happy since I learned to trust and have true faith even when in doubt. That is why I'm coming t o you with my burden at work. There is so much tension between me and a co-worker I am afraid that I will get written up when I know it was not the way its being told. I ask lord that you bring peace and give me guidance to move past this we all need our jobs. You know my burden and my fears please lord I surrender them to you in Jesus name. May you bring a end to this and may we all let go and move forward as a team. Lord please guide me to be a kind and more like you with everyone I ask my lord in Jesus name I pray hear me O'Lord.. Amen.

  37. God I come before you this evening laying the challenges of work at your feet. I have been on medical leave for the past several months and still endure treachery from the administration this entire time. I come against the devil right now in the name of Jesus claiming my job is waiting on me and the corrupt staff and administration will be bound from trying to undermine the position you placed me in. The Director and Asst. Director have undermined my authority and I claim everything the devil led them to believe and stole from me back 100 fold in the name of Jesus. God give me the wisdom, patience, guidance, and peace to go back without malice in my heart for the lies told. Lord the things I can't put into words search my heart and lay those request at your feet and place a hedge of protection around me in Jesus' name. Amen

  40. I am a Christian and I am having problems at my job. I deliver food for a restaurant and i know and have basically caught a woman messing with my earnings every Saturday night. I keep track and my boss seems angry when i show him all the deliveries i have made and what the mistakes are but he eventually relents and says it was his mistake. This woman i believe is involved with Spiritual Warfare with me and is trying to turn another Driver against me. The money is good but i could get another job but i dont want to keep starting over cuz of nasty people. I pray God can give me the right mindset and help my boss to see what is going on. Please Pray for me.
