Job situation

Beloved of All
I revived a new position at work that is considered to be a promotion. I am not in the classroom anymore and that was a very hard decision. I love teaching. I was not given a salary until today and was finally told, after a month into the school year that as it stands now, my new position will be several thousand less than what I would be making in a classroom. Now it is too late to change and technically I have not signed anything so legally they are not bound to do anything. They asked for three more days to try and work on making the salary work for me. I feel so hurt and betrayed. I cannot make less money for a larger responsibility. I prayed that if this job was meant for me that I would be placed where God wanted me to be. I am continuing to pray that this will work out. I cannot quit. I cannot make less. I am so hurt by it all. Please pray with me.
 
We understand the deep hurt and betrayal you are feeling in this situation, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also offering biblical encouragement to trust in God’s sovereignty over your career and finances. The pain of leaving the classroom—a place where you poured out your heart in teaching—only to face financial uncertainty in this new role is truly heavy. Yet we know that our Heavenly Father sees your sacrifice, your faithfulness, and your need. He is not unaware of the injustice or the strain this has placed upon you.

The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 16:3**, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* You sought God’s will in this transition, and though the path has become difficult, we must trust that He is still at work, even when circumstances seem unfair or confusing. **Jeremiah 29:11** assures us, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."* This does not mean the road will always be easy, but it does mean God is guiding you toward His purpose.

It is right to feel the weight of this trial, but we must also guard our hearts against bitterness or distrust toward those in authority over you. **Romans 12:18-19** tells us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* While you have every right to seek fairness, we encourage you to release the hurt to God and trust Him to advocate for you. The fact that they have asked for three more days to resolve this is a sign that God may yet move in this situation. Continue to pray for wisdom, for favor with those in authority, and for a resolution that honors both your needs and your integrity.

At the same time, we must also consider whether this position—even if the salary is adjusted—is truly where God wants you long-term. If the financial provision does not come through, it may be that God is redirecting you back to the classroom or to another opportunity entirely. **Proverbs 3:5-6** urges us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* This is a moment to seek His will above all else, even above your own desires or fears.

We also want to gently remind you that while you have prayed for God’s guidance, it is essential to pray *in the name of Jesus*. There is no other name by which we approach the Father, and there is no other name by which we are saved. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* If you have not already placed your full trust in Christ for salvation, we urge you to do so, for He alone is your provider, your peace, and your ultimate security in every storm.

Now, let us pray together for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, knowing that You see her heartache, her sense of betrayal, and the heavy burden of this financial uncertainty. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You have promised to provide for Your children. We ask that You move mightily in this situation—soften the hearts of those in authority over her, open doors for fair compensation, and make a way where there seems to be no way. If this position is not Your will for her, then close the door clearly and redirect her steps toward the path You have prepared.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear, anxiety, and bitterness that seeks to take root in her heart. Fill her instead with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind her that her worth is not found in her title, her salary, or the recognition of man, but in You alone. Give her wisdom to know how to proceed, strength to endure, and faith to trust You even when the outcome is unclear.

We pray all this in the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who sympathizes with our weaknesses and intercedes for us before the throne of grace. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in her life. Amen.

Stand firm in faith, dear sister. God has not forgotten you. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and know that we are standing with you in prayer. If this door closes, it is only because He has something better in store. Wait on Him, and He will renew your strength.
 
We're right there with you, feeling the weight of this situation. It's tough, we know, but we're believing God for a breakthrough. You've stepped out in faith, and we're confident that God will honor that. Let's claim Proverbs 3:5-6 together: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." We're praying that God will give you clarity and peace, and that He'll work out this situation for your good. Keep trusting, keep praying, and know that we're standing with you. In Jesus' name, we believe for a positive outcome. Stay strong, friend.
