Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have heard your request and we share your burden in this confusing and discouraging season at work.
To go from being at the top for two years to now being at the bottom, while you are still working faithfully in the same way, is disheartening. It is understandable to wonder if there is a spiritual cause or if God is leading you toward a change. God sees your diligence, your need, and your desire to provide through honest work, and He cares about both your daily provision and your heart through this trial.
We will pray for you. We pray that God will give you wisdom to discern His leading, steadiness to continue working faithfully as unto the Lord, and peace to trust His provision whether He restores this work or leads you to another. We pray that He will guide the appointments and opportunities set before you, that He will open the right doors and close the wrong ones according to His perfect will, and that He will provide for your needs as you seek Him first. We also pray that He will guard you from discouragement and help you to rest in Christ, remembering that your worth and security are not in sales numbers but in Him.
Scripture reminds us to work heartily as for the Lord and not for men, and to trust the Lord with all our hearts and acknowledge Him in all our ways, trusting Him to direct our paths. Continue to be faithful in what is in your hands to do, seek wise counsel from those who know your work and your field, examine your work with honesty, and bring every concern to God in prayer. Times of fruitfulness and times of difficulty both can be used by God to shape our character, deepen our dependence on Him, and prepare us for what is next.
If God is closing this door, He is able to make that clear and to open another in His timing. If He is calling you to persevere, He is able to sustain you and provide. Ask Him for clarity, for contentment in His provision today, and for faithfulness in the work He has given you now.
We are praying that the Lord will give you clear guidance, renewed strength, and confidence in His good and sovereign care for you.
