Asking for Continued Prayers for my Finances to be Protected and for my current job and for a New job

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your request has been heard and we are joining you in prayer before the Lord who sees your struggle and knows your fear.

We pray that God will lift the weight of fear from you and give you peace, for He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. We ask Him to be your protector and provider in this financial trial, to give you wisdom and clear guidance regarding your wages and bank accounts, and to lead you to a capable and honest attorney who can help you with your appeal and advocate for you with diligence and integrity. We pray that the Lord will make a way where you feel trapped and that you will be able to trust His care day by day.

We also bring your workplace before God. We pray for your current job, for strength to continue to do your work faithfully even under confusing direction and unfair treatment. Your desire to succeed, to communicate clearly about your disability, and to propose a practical checklist is wise and good, and we pray that the owner who received your email will listen with understanding and act justly, and that proper training and clear direction will be provided. We pray for your boss, that God would soften her heart, bring her to repentance where she has spoken carelessly and used His name without reverence, and turn her from sowing division to leading with kindness and fairness. We pray for protection over your position while you remain there, that God would guard you from unjust dismissal and help you walk in patience and grace, keeping a clear record and doing all things as unto the Lord.

We pray too for your search for a new job. We ask the Father to open the door to work that is not toxic, that provides for your needs more fully, that allows you to work remotely with proper training and to use the gifts He has given you. We pray that He will keep you in your current place until He provides that better provision, and that He will give you the means to save and to live with stability and peace.

May the Lord remind you daily that He is your refuge and your portion, that He is near to those who call upon Him in truth, and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you, and may the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

We are praying for you, that God will answer according to His perfect wisdom and mercy, and that you will know His presence and provision in every step. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.

 

[Silas]

Thank you for opening your heart so honestly and for allowing prayer on your behalf. I have prayed for you and I want to share some encouragement from Scripture that speaks directly to the fear and pressure you are carrying.

You said you do not want to live in fear, and that desire is right. Fear grows when we forget the Lord and fix our eyes on the threats around us. When we remember who He is and that He is present with us, fear loses its hold. The psalmist said even when I walk through the darkest valley I will fear no evil because You are with me. That awareness of His presence is the cure for fear. Faith and fear cannot rule the heart at the same time. Where faith is strengthened by remembering the Lord, fear has to leave. Where fear is allowed to take over, faith is pushed aside. So much of the enemy's work is simply to plant fear so that we will react out of fear, and reactions made from fear are so often the wrong ones.

That does not mean we do nothing practical. We are to do what is wise and prudent, but not as people driven by panic. For your finances and the legal battle over garnishment, it is wise to seek a capable attorney to help with the appeal and to take proper steps to protect your wages and accounts. Bring those needs to the Lord and ask Him to provide that help, and then pursue it with a calm trust that He is your confidence and will keep your footing steady even when the wicked seem to prosper for a moment. Do not be afraid of sudden trouble or of what those opposed to you may try to do. The Lord will be your confidence.

For your workplace, I understand how heavy this has been. A boss who gossips, misuses the name of God, confuses instructions and pits people against each other creates a painful environment, and it is understandable that two coworkers have already left and that you feel the strain, especially while trying to honor God and do good work with a disability you have been open about. Your idea to document the unclear directions and to ask one of the owners for a simple checklist to help you succeed is a wise and humble step. It shows you want to do your work well and to be accountable. Continue to keep clear records, speak truthfully and respectfully, and do your tasks as serving the Lord rather than only serving people.

Scripture teaches that the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is a reverent awe of the Lord, not a cringing terror, but a deep respect that wants to please Him, to love what He loves and to turn away from what He hates. That kind of reverence changes how we see everything. When we quietly think on who God is, His greatness and His care, that awe grows and gives us wisdom for daily decisions. It also reminds us that we do not need to fear people. Those who live in reverent trust toward Him are promised that He will care for them and they will lack no good thing. Even strong young lions go hungry at times, but those who seek the Lord will not lack what they truly need.

Like Peter when he looked at the wind and waves instead of at Jesus, we begin to sink when we stare at the problem. When we look to Jesus again, faith rises and fear fades. You are asking God to keep you in your current job until He opens a better one that provides fully remote work, proper training, and enough to save. That is a good and honest prayer. Keep doing diligent work where you are, keep applying for those other opportunities, and trust Him to open the right door in His timing.

I am praying that God will quiet your fear with the assurance of His nearness, that He will guard your finances and guide you to the right attorney for your appeal, that He will give you wisdom and favor as you seek a reasonable accommodation and clearer guidance at work, and that He will provide a healthier workplace where you can be trained well, use your gifts, and be provided for. May He give you peace that guards your heart, wisdom for each step, and the confidence that He is with you and will take care of you as you walk closely with Him.

In the name of Jesus, amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

We have been lifting up your specific needs before the Lord. We have prayed for protection over your finances, your wages and your bank accounts from garnishment by opposing counsel, and that the Lord would provide a fierce and skilled attorney to step in and help you with your appeal. We have prayed that God would lift the fear you have been living under and replace it with His perfect peace, for we remember His promise in Isaiah 41:10 and 2 Timothy 1:7 that He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love.

We have also continued to pray for your current workplace. We have asked God to give you favor and protection in your job, to give you wisdom and clarity as you navigate confusing directions and the warning you received, and to move on the heart of the owners as they consider your email regarding your disability and your request for a checklist to help you succeed in your daily tasks. We pray for protection from the gossip and toxicity you have endured from your boss and that the Lord would convict hearts and bring peace to that workplace.

We are also joining you in prayer that the Lord would open the door to a new remote job that provides full training, a healthy non toxic environment, and better pay so you can save and provide for your needs. We trust that God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory as promised in Philippians 4:19 and that He will keep you in your current position until He leads you to the better opportunity He has prepared.

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.

May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

We continue to pray in Jesus Name that our Father would be your defender, your provider and your peace, that He would guard your finances, guide your steps, and lead you to provision and rest.
