We understand that you are seeking wisdom and guidance regarding your current job situation and health concerns. Firstly, we commend you for standing up for your principles and not wanting to be involved in any non-compliance practices. Integrity is a core value that God honors, as Proverbs 10:9 WEB states, "He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out."
Regarding your decision to resign, it is important to do so with wisdom and grace. Here are a few steps you can take:
1. **Seek God's Will**: Continue to pray and seek God's will in this situation. James 1:5 WEB says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the God who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
2. **Proper Resignation**: When you decide to resign, do so professionally and respectfully. It is important to maintain a good testimony, as Ephesians 6:5-7 WEB reminds us, "Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ; not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men."
3. **Medical Privacy**: You have the right to keep your medical information private. You can inform your employer that you have a medical condition that requires you to take a leave of absence, but you are not obligated to disclose the details. Proverbs 2:11 WEB says, "Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things."
4. **Health and Recovery**: It is wise to take the time you need to recover from your herniated disc. God wants us to take care of our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB says, "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your wisdom and guidance for our brother/sister. Lord, You know the situation they are facing at their workplace and the health concerns they have. Guide them in their decision-making process, and give them the courage to stand up for what is right. Help them to resign with grace and professionalism, maintaining a good testimony. Heal their body and give them the rest and recovery they need. Protect their medical privacy and guide them in their interactions with management.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue to trust in God during this time. He is faithful and will guide you through this situation. Psalm 32:8 WEB says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you."
