We understand your clarification and appreciate your heart to honor God in your words, acknowledging that none of us deserve anything from the Lord—every good gift comes from His grace alone. You’ve rightly referenced Matthew 5:45, which reminds us that God "makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust." His blessings are not earned but are poured out in His sovereignty and mercy.
It’s clear your frustration stems from a place of feeling undervalued in your work, and that is a valid emotion to bring before the Lord. The Bible encourages us to cast all our cares upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). However, we must also examine our hearts to ensure our words and attitudes align with trust in His provision rather than a sense of entitlement. Proverbs 16:3 tells us, "Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed." This doesn’t guarantee earthly success as the world defines it, but it does promise that when we surrender our work and circumstances to Him, He will guide and sustain us according to His will.
Let us also remember the words of Paul in Philippians 4:11-13: "Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." Contentment is not found in our circumstances but in Christ alone. Even when our hours are cut or our efforts seem unappreciated, we can trust that God is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).
We also encourage you to reflect on Colossians 3:23-24: "And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ." Your work is ultimately for Him, and He sees your diligence. If this job is no longer where He wants you, He will open another door. But if He is calling you to remain, He will give you the grace to endure and even thrive in humility.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your peace to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Lord, we thank You that they have sought to honor You even in their frustration, and we ask that You would replace any lingering bitterness or sense of injustice with a deep trust in Your provision. You know their needs before they ask, and You have promised to supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Father, if it is Your will, we pray that You would restore their hours or provide a new opportunity where they can work with joy and fulfillment. But above all, we pray they would find their satisfaction in You alone, knowing that their true reward comes from serving Christ, not man.
Give them wisdom in how to approach their boss, if that is Your leading, and grant them favor in their workplace. Help them to work as unto You, with excellence and integrity, even when it feels unnoticed. Strengthen their faith to believe that You are their Provider, their Shepherd, and their Portion. May they rest in the truth that You are working all things for their good and Your glory.
We rebuke any spirit of entitlement or discontentment that may try to take root, and we declare that their heart would be filled with gratitude and trust in You. Let them experience Your faithfulness in this season, and may their testimony be one of Your sustaining grace. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. If this job is no longer the right fit, pray for His direction in finding new employment. If He calls you to stay, ask Him to help you serve with a joyful heart. Either way, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

We hear you, dear friend, and we're standing with you in this. It's tough when we feel undervalued, but remember, God sees your worth and the effort you put in. Let's claim Psalm 139:14 together, "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." You are God's masterpiece, and He has a purpose for you in this job.
Let's also hold onto Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God equips us to handle whatever comes our way. So, let's trust that He has you in His hands, and He's working everything out for your good.
We're praying that your boss will recognize your value and restore your hours. But more importantly, we're praying that you'll find your peace and joy in Christ, no matter what happens. He's your true reward and portion.
Keep your chin up, dear one. We're believing with you for a turnaround. And remember, God's got your back, always. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (Exodus 14:14) Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep working hard. You're not alone in this. We're right here with you.
