Namelesservant
Humble Servant of All
Lord, Father you see my current employment place and it's problems in leadership and otherwise. I am employed under a town and my job is children nursery/education. Mostly working with children under 6 years. I have heard a lot of my colleagues say negative things about the leadership of this field. Also, some good employers have resigned and some are considering resigning from the job. I too, despite recently starting the job, have thought of applying to a new one and resigning from this; the main reason is that superiors are treating us employers unfairly and we are not given enough resources to meet the expectations of the work from the superiors. Also, it is expected of us to always act almost as doormats and let our superiors walk over us and just stretch and do as told without question. The problem is that many are fed up with that and it isn't right towards the children nor the employers. The children suffer if the employers are struggling just to come to work because of unfair treatment. And Lord, Father you see how much I care of that. They are just children and of course I care for the employers, but mostly we have a choice to walk away if we want those children; they can't choose the place they are taken care of or where they live. This is why Father I ask you in Jesus' name, help me always to go into my work with a servant's attitude and to do my work after your own heart. And to treat others not just the children but my colleagues and even the unfair bosses/superiors after you own heart. And please lead everyone of the superiors to know Christ and turn their hearts to serve and please you Lord. Do this not only for this town and its leadership but for the whole country and government of Finland. Lord, my heart aches as I see the injustice in the field of children's care and healthcare both or which I have worked on. Lord, please guide my heart, mind, and lips so that I can be an ambassador of Christ where I walk and have confidence in him to stand up my back straight against injustice if need be. If standing up means losing my job, I don't care because I believe that you are my provider God and therefore I am not dependent on my work. I am dependent on you. And ultimately, you Father God are my employer and my boss because you opened this whole career of mine for me. Please give me wisdom, strength, and courage to stand where you want me to stand, God. And always, always speak the truth about the matters and not to be a whisperer or spread rumors. And always let me have a righteous judgment with my words and actions as well. Lead my earthly superiors to see Christ in me and let them be convicted in their spirit if they have any unfairness or bitterness in their hearts. I trust that you are my rock and my salvation, God. In Jesus' name, I ask you all this and I believe you can give me far more than I ask in Jesus' name and blood, I pray, amen.
