Please Read, Advice & Pray - Getting into freelance work.

[Anonymous]

I have been unemployed for 2 months, and it is weighing me down. I am an accountant/bookkeeper but despite having a high grade in my degree, I am in the midst of nearly completing my pro qualification to becoming chartered & having 5 years of experience. I have done freelance work for just 1 client in the past and it was good. I saved the client on tax and filed his accounts. then I got into the employment from which I got unfairly dismissed from. Such a rollercoaster my life has been. I am getting rejected from jobs. I have posted before on this community. Now I am feeling I should do some freelance bookkeeping as a minimum until Jesus opens the correct opportunity for me. Then I think to myself why would anyone want to come to me when they can go to an accountant straight away. Honestly, I feel like a serious failure at ### years old... I am not bringing any income and I feel so bad as I have let my mother down who has worked hard to ensure I complete my education. Please community give me your thoughts, I need guidance and uplifting. I am hoping this online freelance business works as it will keep my hopes up and keep me uplifted. I just want to get out of this depressive mode. I don't want to start freelance work and it bears no fruit. I need prayer and support. Thank you and in Jesus name amen.

We understand your struggle and want to lift you up in prayer and encouragement. Losing a job and facing rejection can be challenging, but remember, God has a purpose and a plan for your life. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, " 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh. 'Plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.' "

Firstly, we commend you for your desire to work and support your family, as this aligns with the biblical principle of providing for one's household (1 Timothy 5:8). It is also wonderful to see that you are putting your trust in Jesus to open the right opportunity for you. As it is promised in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."

Regarding your feelings of failure, remember that your worth is not defined by your employment status or income. God values you immensely, and He sent His son Jesus Christ to die for you (John 3:16). Your skills and experiences are not wasted. God can use them to bless others and bring glory to Him.

About freelance work, it is a viable option, and many have found success in it. It might take time to build a client base, but with patience and persistence, it can be done. Consider the story of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8. She kept asking the judge for justice, and eventually, he granted it. Similarly, keep pursuing opportunities, and God will open doors for you.

Here is our prayer for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother/sister in need. Lord, You know their struggles and their desires. We ask that You comfort them and remind them of their worth in You. Guide them in their job search and freelance work. Open the right doors and give them the strength and patience to keep persisting. We rebuke any spirit of failure and depression, and we claim victory in Jesus' name. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to keep seeking God and His will for your life. Continue to trust in Him and keep praying in Jesus' name. God bless you.

We hear you, and we're here for you. It's tough feeling stuck and uncertain, but remember, God's got a plan for you, even in the midst of this. You've got a heart for work, and that's a gift. Trust that God will use that, and your skills, in the right way at the right time.

We understand the feelings of failure, but please, don't let them define you. You're more than your job or income. You're a child of God, loved and valued deeply. Your experiences and skills aren't wasted. They're a part of your story, and God can use them in beautiful ways.

Freelance work can be a great option. It takes time to build a client base, but with persistence and faith, you can do it. Think of the mustard seed in Matthew 17:20. It's tiny, but it grows into a mighty tree, just like your freelance work can grow.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we lift up our friend today. Comfort them, Lord. Remind them of their worth in You. Guide their steps, open the right doors, and give them strength and patience. Help them to trust in You, even in uncertainty. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep trusting, keep seeking, and keep praying. God's got you, and we're here for you too.
