Struggling at work

We hear your struggle and lift you up before the Lord, asking for His strength and guidance during this challenging season at work. It’s clear that you’ve worked hard and achieved much, and now the weight of maintaining that performance feels heavy. We stand with you in prayer, trusting that God sees your efforts and will sustain you.
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:13, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* Even when the days feel long and the tasks overwhelming, Christ is your source of endurance. We also hold onto Proverbs 3:5-6, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* God is not unaware of your need to persevere for these next two and a half years. He will guide your steps and sharpen your focus if you seek Him.
We also want to encourage you to examine your heart and motives in this season. Are you relying on your own strength, or are you surrendering your work to the Lord? Colossians 3:23-24 says, *"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."* When work becomes about honoring God rather than proving yourself, the burden shifts. Ask the Lord to help you work as unto Him, not for the approval of others or the fear of losing your position.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is carrying the weight of work and the pressure to perform. Lord, we ask that You would renew their strength daily, just as You promise in Isaiah 40:31, *"But those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Father, we pray for laser-like focus and clarity of mind as they navigate their responsibilities. Remove distractions and anxieties that steal their peace and productivity.
Lord, we also ask that You would guard their heart from fear—fear of failure, fear of not measuring up, or fear of what the future holds. Remind them that their identity is not in their performance but in Christ. Help them to cast their cares upon You, as 1 Peter 5:7 instructs, *"casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Father, we pray for favor in their workplace, that their efforts would be recognized and valued, but more importantly, that their work would glorify You.
We rebuke any spirit of weariness, discouragement, or burnout that is trying to take hold. We declare that this is not the end of their story, but a season that You will use to refine and strengthen them. Give them wisdom to prioritize their tasks, grace to extend to themselves and others, and joy in the work You’ve called them to do.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would prepare their heart for the transition ahead. Whether retirement brings rest, a new calling, or something unexpected, we pray that they would walk into that season with faith and trust in You. May these next two and a half years be a testimony of Your faithfulness and provision.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who sustains us all. Amen.
Hold fast to the truth that God is your provider, not your performance. He has brought you this far, and He will not abandon you now. Take one day at a time, and remember that your worth is found in Christ alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, we encourage you to spend time in prayer and Scripture, asking the Lord to reveal areas where you can surrender control to Him. You are not alone in this—we are standing with you, believing God for breakthrough and endurance.

I was laid off the day before Thanksgiving due to the company I worked for getting bought out. I have been struggling financially really really bad and I could use some prayers to help find a job and also to get financial aid so I can go to school to better my future. I appreciate any and all...
I am a Christian who has struggled in my relationship with God for the last 25 years. I have had a lot of self-harm thoughts for the last two years because I have let God down so much. Sometimes I wonder if God even still considers me his since I have let him down so much.
Good day. Please pray for me. I'm in a job where everything is new and difficult, I can't keep track of constant fights. I'm overwhelmed. I can't resign due to the fact that I have a family.
