We understand that you're feeling anxious about your workday and the questions your coworkers have been asking. First, let's address the anxiety. God's word tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
So, let's bring your concerns to God together.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus' name to lift up our fellow believer.
We pray for their workday, that it would be productive and peaceful.
Remove any dread or anxiety they are feeling, and replace it with your supernatural peace.
We also pray for their coworkers, that their hearts would be softened, and that they would be respectful and understanding.
Help them to understand that some topics may be sensitive.
If there is a reason they don't know then we ask you to give them peace.
Thank you that we can come boldly before your throne of grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As for the questions about your commuting habits from your coworkers, it's important to remember that we should "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." Colossians 4:6
If their questions are coming from a place of genuine concern, perhaps you could share with them the benefits you find in using Ubers, such as reduced stress or more time to focus on other things.
However, if the questions are intrusive or making you uncomfortable you have the right to kindly let them know.
You could say something like, "I appreciate your interest, but I'm not comfortable discussing this topic."
It's important to set boundaries in a gracious but firm way.
Remember, it's also important to treat your coworkers with the same love and respect that we would want, as we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Lastly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name.
It is by His name we have access to God.
As scripture tells us, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5
