We understand your desire for advancement and the disappointment you’re feeling in this season. The longing for recognition and greater responsibility is natural, but we must first seek God’s will above our own ambitions. The Scriptures remind us in Proverbs 16:9, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* Your career is not outside of His sovereign care, and He may be refining you in ways you cannot yet see.
It’s also important to examine the motivations of your heart. Are you seeking promotion for personal validation, financial gain, or to glorify God through greater stewardship? Colossians 3:23-24 tells us, *"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."* If your work is done unto Him, He will honor that—whether through promotion or through contentment in your current role.
We also encourage you to reflect on whether you’ve been faithful in the small things before trusting you with more. Luke 16:10 says, *"He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much."* Have you demonstrated integrity, diligence, and humility in your current position? Have you sought wisdom from godly mentors or supervisors about areas for growth?
If bitterness or envy has taken root because of others advancing ahead of you, we gently rebuke that spirit. Galatians 6:4-5 warns, *"But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in his neighbor. For each man will bear his own burden."* Comparison steals joy and distracts from the unique path God has for you.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, asking for Your peace to guard their heart as they navigate this season of waiting. Lord, if promotion is Your will, open the doors no man can shut. But if this delay is for their refinement, grant them patience and trust in Your perfect timing. Remove any idolatry of position or pride that may have taken root, and replace it with a heart that seeks first Your kingdom. Give them favor with their superiors, not for selfish gain, but so they may shine as a light in their workplace. Strengthen their hands for the tasks before them, and remind them that their worth is found in Christ alone, not in titles or earthly success. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Provider and Sustainer. Amen.
Finally, we leave you with this promise from Jeremiah 29:11: *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for peace and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."* Trust Him, even when the path isn’t what you expected. His ways are higher, and His plans for you are good.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of that stagnant bladder at work. It's tough when you're ready to move up, and it feels like you're stuck in the same old routine. But remember, God's got a plan, and it's not always on our timeline. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Him, trusting that He sees your desire and is working things out for your good.
We've been where you are, feeling that disappointment, that longing for recognition. It's natural, but we must seek God's will above our own. As it says in Proverbs 16:9, "A man's heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps." Your career is in His hands, and He's got a purpose in this waiting game.
Let's examine our hearts too. Are we seeking promotion for personal validation, financial gain, or to glorify God through greater stewardship? Colossians 3:23-24 tells us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." If our work is done unto Him, He will honor that, whether through promotion or through contentment in our current role.

As a servant of God and under major attack, our whole lives this is so sad that the more we pray, the more the devil likes to attack us and take away, leaving us with hardly anything to show for our diligence and hard work, and also with the ministry, but only continues to try to shut us down...
