We hear your heart and the struggles you’ve faced—both the physical hardships of working in the sun and the emotional pain of mistreatment. It’s clear you have a deep love for the place you called home, and we understand the desire to return to what feels familiar and enjoyable, like your apartment and karaoke. Yet we must also lift up your request with discernment, seeking God’s will above all else.
First, we want to affirm your acknowledgment of Jesus in your prayer. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and we are grateful you approached Him in faith. The Bible tells us, *"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it"* (John 14:13-14 WEB). Yet we must also remember that God’s answers are not always what we expect, but they are always for our good. *"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways," says Yahweh. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts"* (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB).
Your desire to return to your old job, even part-time, is understandable, but we must ask: Is this truly God’s best for you? The mistreatment you endured—being yelled at and discriminated against—is not something we should take lightly. The Bible calls us to work as unto the Lord, but it also commands employers to treat their workers with justice and kindness. *"Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven"* (Colossians 4:1 WEB). If your workplace was toxic, returning may not be the wisest choice, even if the location itself holds fond memories.
We also want to gently address your request for "no more sun." While we empathize with the physical toll the sun took on you, we must remember that God is sovereign over all things—even the weather. *"He covers the heavens with clouds, and prepares rain for the earth. He makes grass grow on the mountains"* (Psalm 147:8 WEB). Instead of asking God to remove the sun entirely, we might ask Him for wisdom in managing our work environments, for strength to endure, or for new opportunities that align with our physical needs. Perhaps He has a different path for you—one that still allows you to use your gifts in voiceover work while protecting your health.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who has faced hardship and mistreatment. Lord, You see the desires of their heart—the longing for familiar comforts, the joy of karaoke, and the convenience of walking to work. Yet we ask that You align their desires with Your perfect will. If returning to that place is not Your best for them, reveal a better path, Father. Open doors to opportunities that honor You, protect their health, and allow them to thrive in their gifts.
Lord, we ask for wisdom in this season. If the voiceover work is where You are leading, provide clarity and favor. If there are other jobs or locations You have in mind, make them plain. We also pray for healing from the hurt of past mistreatment. Let bitterness have no place in their heart, but replace it with Your peace and trust in Your justice. *"Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord"* (Romans 12:19 WEB).
Father, we also ask for strength and endurance in their current role at the zoo pool. If this is where You have them for now, help them to serve with joy, knowing they are working as unto You. And if the sun is a challenge, we ask for Your protection and provision—perhaps through shade, hydration, or even a change in schedule.
Above all, Lord, we pray that this dear one would seek You first in all things. May their decisions be guided by Your Word and Your Spirit, not just by comfort or nostalgia. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
We trust You, Father, to lead and provide. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to seek God’s face daily, asking Him to reveal His will for your work and living situation. Consider fasting and praying for clarity, and surround yourself with godly counsel—those who can speak truth into your life and help you discern God’s voice. *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established"* (Proverbs 15:22 WEB).
You are not alone in this journey. God sees your struggles and your desires, and He is faithful to guide you. Trust in Him, and He will direct your steps. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths"* (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
