Perhaps you joined a Christian dating website or finally worked up the courage to talk someone at church . . . but still, nothing! Well, I don’t believe it’s all your fault. Unfortunately I feel the church has way overcomplicated the process of meeting, dating, and marrying the one God has for you. This is why I am so excited about AGW University! I created these courses to clear up all the confusion. My first group of students is currently going through the courses and the feedback has been great so far. I designed these biblical courses for people who feel like they are failing at Christian dating but want a help to know exactly what to do and not do to increase the chances of meeting their future spouse. You are not alone. Join AGW University if you want specialized Christian relationship training from me. Open enrollment is happening right now. And if you enroll in all three courses, you get everything for half the price. Tuition is a fraction of the price as traditional college, but in my view the subjects we cover in these courses are far more important to a meaningful life than Math and English.

ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger Hi mark. I just sent you a supper long and desperate email on this topic about jobs because I was literally asking God to help me before seeing this. I’m so confused and I have to decide by tomorrow. I truly hope you can email me back
I prayed for a job closer to home and closer to my child's school, and the Most High opened a door for me. However, the salary was much lower than what I was making at the job I had. Nevertheless, I felt God telling me to take the job with the lower pay, so I did. I was so much happier working there, and the environment was more loving and caring. Sometimes we have to make a sacrifice to receive our blessing!!!! Are you willing?! 😊
Ma’am I have a year and 6 months of being in the military and I hate being bullied and ostracized everyday. I feel like God is calling me to be a teacher or a nurse because I have more empathy than most people. I do not know where he wants me, but I hope it’s for something better. Please pray for me
I just commented the same thing! Sometimes you just have to take that pay cut, if your well-paid job is causing misery. I am so much less angry and tense now. No job is worth your sanity. And it is nice to have extra cash, but life isn't all about money either, if it causes distress. I was unsure at first, but I'm glad that I made the decision to leave. I hope that you will find a job with a salary that is beyond what you were being paid before with none of the stress!
Your comment literally blessed me. God has literally opened another door for me and out of fear I didn’t want to take the pay cut. But I know he will provide for me. And I’d be much happier at the other job. Weeeeew!! Thank You!!
I came hear hoping to find someone in my same situation, and here you are, but way ahead of me. You inspire me. I haven’t made the move yet, but praying daily about it. I asked for this job and He delivered. I feel terrible going back and saying “God, I changed my mind, this new employer didn’t fix my mental health because the job is still the same, the workload is still the same… this new position just made me realize more how much I don’t want to do this anymore.” So torn. I’ll take a huge pay cut changing careers, but I feel so strongly the need to do it.
I'm feeling the same too. I feel like leaving my business area where I make lots of money because of jealous people. I'm still thinking it's the devil speaking to me to go and suffer and start from scratch. I'm praying to God to give me signs before the enemy trick me
Trust that G-d will bring you something better, so have faith and it will come to fruition, remember faith is the evidence of things unseen, and in y’all’s Spirit, you already know the answer
I work in fast food and I'm 57. I want to quit so bad but I'm not sure God wants me to yet. I'm just praying that God will lead me to a better job. I'm not sure what he wants me to do yet. Can you pray for me? I really just want to retire to be honest.
I worked at a nursing home for almost 15 years. Our campus has 3 buildings. I had a very abusive supervisor and was miserable. I asked God to remove me. He did. I work in the building next door under a different manager. I am doing much better. I have health issues so this smaller building helps me. I invested alot of time with this company, and my age is against me finding an outside job with the same rate of pay. He answers!
PRAY PEOPLE THAT MAKING A DEVIL WORKS FROM WORK AND INSTEAD YOU QUIT ASK GOD OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN . I PRAYED TO GOD TO QUIT WENT TO OFFICE TO QUIT AND I SURPRISED MY SUPERVISOR SHE WAS FIRED I DONT KNOW THE REASONS. OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN KNOWS EVERYTHING WE CANNOT HIDE . GOD SAYS DONT TOUCH THE ANOINTED PEOPLE AND TRULY FAITHFUL.
@@jellymedrano8031 praise the lord ...dear brother / sister .. I want same thing in life as I have quit the job 3 times because of evil people I still ask god that let these evil people be removed y always me as it is very painful it takes time to get a job again until that we struggle .. pls helpe how to pray like this so that these wickeds go out and good ppl stay and also pray for me I'm jobless now I'm starving no peace of mind .... Don't know what to do next ....
I’m currently 17 now and I worked at five below and I feel like my voice doesn’t matter and I felt mistreated from my manager because I addressed to her nicely that I don’t like the treatment from her , and I just started working there and she made me doubt myself and made me felt like I was in the wrong but it’s like I don’t have to settle for anything because the God we serve will bless us all
Omg my job is full of actual demons. My boss is so mean to me. I’m ready to move on but I’m waiting for god to give me the go ahead. This was my first job.
My coworkers regularly mock at others frustration and dismay, tell me “it could be worse” regularly , and tap dance on my personal morals. I left to work from home the last few hours and was told “you can’t leave.” “You’ll be here forever”. There are some environments where spiritual warfare run so deep, it turns ANYONE into a sinner.
I wouldn't stand for that bro I would leave I mean it's great your shared the word of the most high but like he said if this job doesn't align with the holy spirit and yr gifts it's not meant for u
Omg yessssss they mock my faith that’s what I was experiencing at work and the bullying it’s so bad also it’s like in a restaurant club setting so it’s a lot of sin
Same. Currently working from home because I couldn't take it anymore. Things have gone bad to worse, isolated, gossiped about and overlooked. I want to quit but I don't have any other alternative means of income. Please pray for me.
It was weird. God didn’t tell me to quit verbatim. But, I felt in my spirit that he wanted me to leave. When I would work there every-time I tried to tell myself to think positive at this job and to try to stay something bad would always happen. Every time I described my job to my friends I would always tell them that. The day that I quit I cried a little in the parking lot because it was over , but overall I had peace about it. The following day I had three signs that I did the right thing. Remember the quote that I stated early in my message? Well, I was watching a video and the women said “pay attention to this, you know something wasn’t meant for you when you try to make something work and something always go wrong.”
Wow!!! That last sentence is my job completely. I am a very responsible, hardworking person. I have worked really hard, with God’s help, to build myself a sensible foundation. I have been in my current position for 5 years and worked so hard over the last year to get myself in a good spot to maintain my current position. NOTHING EVER GETS FIXED OR SOLVED AT THIS JOB - IT IS CRAZY. I am always trying to introduce logic and sensible, foundational solutions to the problems we face (so we don’t have to face them again). It doesn’t work! The problems don’t stop coming. I can’t take it any more and I am sooo tired. Not only in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. It does not matter how much time off I take or how much I have tried to push this tiredness aside (by telling myself I just need to work harder, it’s me not the job, etc.) I don’t even have the energy or strength to update my resume or seek out a resume writer. I am just so tired. Most people would tell me to keep striving, look for another job, etc. but I just can’t. At least not today. I am hoping God brings a miracle into my life that makes sense of this situation. I think most people, at least worldly people, would tell me I just need to suck it up and persist or look for another job, but they just don’t get how tired I am and how hard I have strived, not just at work but in all areas of my life. I think it’s time to stop relying on myself and “works” and be still and know that HE IS GOD. Please pray for me if you have time and are guided to do so, God bless everyone in general and whoever may be going through a similar or equally difficult situation.
@Jesus saves same here just quit today left and didn't look back. Had to get out physical mental health was suffering, needed a break, I just did it and won't look back.
The best advice is to do what you love. Find out what makes you come alive and do that. Yeah we all have bills to pay and might have to work a mundane job. But.... we've got to make space to explore those hobbies or outside interests that bring life to our lives. And who gives a crap what others think. You like pottery/painting/taking photos/playing piano...? Do what you love and the $$$ will follow. At the very least, you will live more joyfully. And joy can be contagious.
2. I’m totally miserable, I’m always sad and in a bad mood when I enter the restaurant but today was my turning point. I left. I don’t how money will come my way and how I’m supposed to save it but I know that God always take care of his children and he definitely doesn’t want me in a bad environment. I’ve tried being positive and happy about my colleagues and the management but at the end of the day I’m still desperate. None of my gifts are being used, I feel like a ghost serving selfish clients
I feel the same way. I’ve been working in healthcare for a while now and not until I got to know God better last year did I realize that this isn’t where I should be. My work is repetitive and serving selfish people. I want to work at a place where I actually GET to make a difference and have conversations with my patients, make them FEEL better, HEAL them instead of treating their symptoms. I have anxiety attacks before each shift which I pray away, but they come back bc I don’t see myself fit in this job. Thank god my husband has a job that will provide for both of us, however, I have made it my mission to not go after jobs that will help me make money, instead look for ones that God wants me to share my experience in and make a difference. This was mouthful but I finally made the decision to quit and have FAITH that my husband and I will be taken care of by God, bc he always takes care of his children ❤
A fourth sign might be that you are working with best honest intentions for your company yet get blamed by your boss and/or colleagues in an exaggerate amount more than average ..
Thank you, I prayed and I randomly landed on this video. God is starting to close the door on my job but I now know that he does want me to wait a little longer until he opens the next door. My boss has used verbally abusive language and has mocked me several times for being a Christian because I don't swear and act like others in the work environment. My boss has played mind games to and has said very demeaning things to me. For those that are struggling with the wait process..remember how Jesus was mocked and hung on a cross. When I think about that it always strengthens me because I know he had it way worse.
I wanted to work from home bc of my car (she old lol) and my kids, but I needed money. 5 days in and I'm feeling like I've taken steps back spiritually. In my flesh, cursing, "this B don't know me." I refuse to deal with disrespectful people, especially when leadership ignores it. Should people really have to tell you what you heard and/or saw?
So timely. I’m currently living in Japan and working as an English teacher, but absolutely miserable. The job promised freedom to teach in my own style, but I’m finding myself micromanaged and completely exhausted (this style of management is common in Japan and completely counterproductive). I have clashed with a co-worker recently over what I perceived as harassment to do things on my day off. I need to take this to the Lord and carefully work out my next move. Cheers AGW!
Hi Richie. How are you doing now? I am considering moving to Japan (I'm in TEFL class now). I don't like my current job in the states and I am too close with my boss as a we are family friends. I am looking specifically into getting involved with Christian organizations overseas if I decide to go.
@@michaellemmen I left Japan a few years back, not long after this comment. I miss the people but not the work culture, but I suppose my advice is to check reviews of the company. I still receive regular reviews about my old company - it still suffers from the same problems. Learn some Japanese and go in with your eyes open. There are plenty of ministry opportunities to partner with.
SMH. I am a new employee, 5 days, and I have seen that leadership does not correct their employees. Blatantly disrespectful attitudes are ignored. No professionalism or consistency.
Well, my issue is authority and I’m an introvert. I don’t mind working or helping people...i speak to God about this numerous times. After 10 plus years in the medical field, I’m lead to open my own business... and be my own boss. I’ve asked God to help with my authority issue but I still feel the same way. I’m a very loyal employee but in find that when something personal comes up with my family even with me and I need time off..it all goes back to company politics. I shouldn’t have to beg to be home with a sick family member or get written up because something happen out of my control.. I’d rather work for my self and be with my family
I work in a casino, too. I am a table games dealer. The management is worse then the toxic co-workers. It sucks the life out of me. I have anxiety every time I go to work. But I put on my smiling face, and deal with it....to my detriment.
I honestly hear so many coworkers talked about how miserable they’re and how they can’t stand this coworker or that manager but then to find out they’re such hypocrites, cause they’re hard to work with too. What I learn is that, it starts with each of us personally, it’s important that we be self aware but not just in work places , in life it self. Let’s be the person of peace and light, being all that god want us to be, in life and in our careers or jobs, bringing that light, bringing god with us to work, to make an difference, living in god purpose. Let’s continue to work on praying and asking god to Guide us, giving us signs and dreams on how to get to the right job and career, through that getting to that godly purpose. Being self aware and making sure we’re all god want us to be, spreading peace and light, rather if you’re a manager or coworker, but being the best at what ever we do, helping changing lives for the better. Making an difference 😇🙏😇
I prayed and God took me out of the job and I am on insurance. I am working on my PTSD and my worker is recommending a new job. My health has improved so much! ✝️❤️
Its affecting my mental and physical health , its very bad. I had a vision of getting a new job im still waiting but im definitely leaving that job , I just can't...😢 Update I left and it's the best decision I have ever made. I'm not sure what to do but my spirit is calm and is trusting God for a better life.
Same here! I got this job as I wasnt the best applicant, and my salary doubled in 3 years sinces I started after graduation. But now we use technology I hate, and not useful anywhere, and I already hate the job in the mornings…but I dont have the skills either to change jobs.. so hard situation
@@kennedyosagie6762 John 10:27-28, the more you spend time with the Lord you are more sensitive to His voice 🤍spend time with Him, spend more time with Him, Live for Him. Stay in/ Increase constant prayer, worship, reading the Word, ask Him to reveal himself to you & He will as long as you seek Him. It takes time to build that relationship with our Father 🤍
God gave me the go ahead, I have been thinking about quitting my job for a long time I got treated like a slave for a whole year but I kept myself together and kept pushing but today. The owner of the company I was working for called one of our coworkers while he was driving me home and the boss told my coworker on the phone that they are gonna let me go and give my coworkers son the job and there plan was to keep me there for longer until his son was ready to work. I think god really set up that drive home and let me know the truth it wasn’t a coincidence at all. Thank you lord I love you and pray to you❤️
I have been in a very weird place this year (2019). Last year, I finally decided to leave a job I had been at for ten years, a toxic place that has no real opportunity, and doesn't care about how I gave my all. I had burned out and gotten a bad attitude over the last year there. I prayed and asked God for the opportunity to move on. I know I stayed at that job way too long because of fear of change. Anyhow, I found a new job with better pay, benefits, better hours, etc. All seemed right. I gave a proper notice and everything, even though I would have rather walked out, I didnt. At my new job, I was really excited and really grateful to God for blessing me. I was even afforded the opportunity not long after to transfer to a position very close to home, close enough to go home on my lunch break. At my new position, we even prayed each day before shift. Then everything went crazy, with the good people I was getting to know and respect all getting fired, tumult on a daily basis, utterly hateful customers that blamed us newer faces for the terminations, and corporate breathing down everyone's necks. During the stress, I made a few mistakes and got fired. I even had the boss say a few things that was very hurtful and uncalled for. I completely lost all hope. I was truly devasted because I had finally stepped out on what I thought was faith, got what I feel was a blessing from God, and then somehow utterly ruined that blessing by being a failure. I have dealt with Major Depression for twenty years, but this was the moment where I truly gave in to despair and planned a suicide and made all preperations. Only God in His infinite wisdom somehow made me wait a week since I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. I don't know why I was willing to put off killing myself, but it had to have been placed there by God as I look back. I ended up spending two full weeks locked up at the hospital. Good did come out of it, as a lot changed and my family was there to support me. We have been a lot closer since. I also feel a lot better in regards to that awful hopeless despair, but it hasn't been an easy road to recovery. My job lied about me and I had to fight for weeks to get unemployment. Anxiety made that a grueling experience. It took me a long time to finally have the courage to even start applying for jobs again. I felt so weak and lost in the wind. I prayed for guidance, for God to show me a path. All I wanted was to be able to use my skills, be a good employee, and make my way in life with a modicum of self respect which had always been lacking. I have really struggled with the fact that I finally went out on a limb, took a chance, got blessed by God, and then ruined that blessing inside of 9 months and ended up on cusp of suicide. How could that have happened? How could I be such a failure and ruin a blessing? I think I have figured out that God offered the new job as merely a stepping stone, and that the loss of hope and the despair that ensued forced me to truly tackle the depression that had always been a problem. It was very difficult to be able to see that in a larger context and to see the good that came out of it. I have struggled to find a new job. It has become r apparent that at my age, jobs are simply not easy to find. I prayed for the path to be illumibated, for God to lead me. I worked the previous job exactly 9 months, and on the day I start my new job next week, I will have been unemployed for exactly 9 months. The new job pays a bit more and seems to have all finally worked out. It has been a rough road but God has provided a path. Please pray for me that this job will be a suitable match and that I can succeed in it. There is still some anxiety and fear after what happened previously, but I keep trying to have faith that all will be ok. I prayed for a path to take, so now one seems to have arrived. Pray for me to have strong faith and to be positive, and to not let fear stand in my way.
Praying for you. You will be ok stop beating yourself up so much you didnt ruin the blessing you cant control other people or situations its just life on lifes terms. God allows things to happen like despair to cling to him more and to work on our character detects. If Gods for you then who can be against you.
@@shepherd2220 So true. God has done a lot for me, and I have come to realize that there was a reason everything happened as it did. The previous job did finally make me move, to get up and leave the toxic job that preceded it. Getting fired also forced me to seek out help for Major Depression which had still been a problem, to be honest with my family, to be closer with them, and to be closer to God. It was a struggle and hard to figure the reasons for this bad year out, but in retrospect it is quite clear. Weird how that works...no, actually amazing how it works because God knows what He is doing! Thank you for commenting and thank you for your prayers. One week to go and I start my new job!! Thank you God for your blessings!
I hear you and what you went through is absolutely horrible. I am so sorry. Life is so hard at times . I know God loves you and I'm glad your family is helping. I wish I could help, and will say a prayer. I've been through the ringer, and I've learned not to be hard on myself. There are things outside our control, and we live in hard times. May God bless you.
I just put in my two weeks at my current job. I feel relieved but on the flip side I do still feel stressed that I have to complete these two weeks until the end. I feel suppressed and that I have not been able to fully connect with anyone on this job. So many are filled with envy strife and hatred. Continually asking God how to pass this test. Constant feelings of falling short. My genuine prayer is that I’ve been able to reach and draw someone with kindness. I am naturally an introvert and it’s not always that I speak but when I do it’s with kindness and with careful consideration. At times I feel misunderstood and lack the ability to “stand up” for myself. I feel that my heart has grown so tender here recently whereas before- anything goes and I’ll say whatever was my mentality. I truly believe work environments should be conducive to growth however I feel that it is seen as shameful at this current workplace; nobody wants better not one person.. I pray for PEACE🔥 immeasurable and i PRAY that Gods love abounds and covers me like never before I feel that this started doom and gloom but I have found along the way to have encouraged myself. I’m thankful to God and I pray His peace and blessings to each of you in your transition In Jesus’ name.. amen.
Thanks! This video actually encouraged me to stay at my current job and accept the offer of a year contract. I was doubting so much but I realize now that it's only my own struggles that I need to deal with, but that the work environment is actually pretty good!
My job makes me absolutely miserable, I have worked here for 13 years and give my all and can even deal with the remarks about being a Christian but everyday I am berated, cussed at, screamed at, it makes me so stressed out I ended up in the psychiatric hospital suicidal. I am miserable everyday, 3 times in one week while searching for what to do god showed me it was time to move on but I’ve been scared, please pray for me guys I really need it
I feel sorry about your predicament but if you're ended up in the psychiatric hospital due to your job, I think god has sent an important sign to you to leave. No human being should be treated like the way you were treated even if the pay is lucrative. Perhaps it's time to move on for other options and as long it can pay the bills and basic stuff, that's more than enough. Don't be scared as that feeling is lower vibration and if you are in that vibration long enough, you tend to attract unfavourable situations. I pray for your happiness, sanity and wellness eventhough I'm from different faith🙏
Sign 4 God is telling you to leave your job: this video gets uploaded the day of your job interview after praying for clarity on how to make a decision on whether to leave your company or not! Lol
Sometimes job is so full of politics it kills your spirit.... Even though it's a great job in service of others... What to do then? Stay and suffer or walk away and find other venues to serve others to remove plotics and micromanagement?
You answered my question with your question. My mom always tells me to find a quite job and use my energy to go help people in other ways! It’s truly my passion, but my job kills my spirit and puts a lot of extra stress on doing something that I truly love. No thank you!
I hope I made the right choice 💛😭 I put in my two weeks yesterday and now I'm scrambling for a job. I know the Lord protects his children from the corrupt. I had to get out of there.
Snap, I just gave one months' notice. I feel anxious but like you I had to escape the corruption. I know God will help us both and blast open doors of opportunity!! Xxx
I am an electrical engineer and worked away from home most of my life. Lately in my current job i worked in a different country and only see home 2 weeks a year. I finally decided to quit and find a job closer to home to see my family more. Praise Jesus. Its very difficult to live alone thousands of miles from home.
Hi Brother Mark, I just quit my job last week. I was working at a restaurant but the work environment was very ungodly sometimes. And my supervisor really needs the Lord but was not open. So I was miserable because of all that and being mistreated. I am praying for all of them. Please pray for me your little sister. I really want a job that glorifies The Lord
This is EXACTLY where i am at in my life right now.. im trying to get back to God and follow Him, but i am very much an introvert and i work fulltime in a cashier/customer service job at a retail store (for a little over a year now), i also have struggled my whole life with social anxiety and thought maybe i could learn and grow despite this. But I dread going to work now because its so chaotic and upsetting at times, and it exhausts me to the point where i just cant do anything else.. ive tried talking to my employer but i dont think anything will help at this point, no one seems to understand just how much effort i put in every day there. I also recently found out a couple of the other cashiers I work with were promoted to higher positions instead of me, so I really feel unappreciated. I honestly dont know what else i could do in this town as an introvert.. all i know is this job is not good for me.. i feel so lost 😢
im having this moment right now.. i can feel myself getting weary at this day job that im at.... and idk, im real nervous about ACTUALLY doing it... please god give me another sign............
As a semi-introvert myself, I would recommend cooking positions at a restaurant or even lawn care was a very peaceful job cause I could just put my headphones in and get my work done without having to talk to people. Hope this helped! Jesus loves you!!!
I definitely feel stuck in my job. I don't feel like I'm using my talents or passion. I'm glad when I can go home or when I'm off. I'm tired and don't have energy because of this. The only thing I want to do is to fulfill my purpose for God and have been praying for it but I'm still waiting.
Me too… I used to feel stuck and drained and moody and burnt out til I left the family business (a bar). I believed that it was time and I’ve been waiting for something but … I don’t know, fam. I’ll pray for us.
I’m in the same boat. I’m about to resign soon cause I can’t take it anymore. If I stay here, this place will slowly kill me. How did your situation turn out?
@nnhernan Hey, keep praying and believing 🙏 I have a great job since September last year. Never thought I would do this but I work with people that have addictions or are mentally ill, I help them with activities, I don't know what that's called in English but now slowly I begin to see and I am using my talent one way or another. Although the job is good I'm still believing for my own business so that's the next chapter! God is good, He will never let you down. God bless ❤️
@clubpenguin201 Long story but yes, God has blessed me with a great job last year! God is good, don't give up, keep believing for the promises, they are ours amen. God bless ❤️
Thank you💜AGW! I really needed this confirmation. I was really burned out on my last job. #2 was the one I resenated with. I thought God was signaling me to quit my job at that time, but I did not know if it was just me. I quit my job anyway. But my family was really against with what I did.
God wants me to leave my job for ages then lockdown happens an god gave me a job idea that I’m leaving my job to try a new job that would make me my own boss 🙏🏼 we not got much but we will have enough to start small and grow 🥰🤞🏼
If you work with people around you who constantly reject him everyday do you think God is helping you to build resistance, or is he telling you to walk cause you don’t wanna be caught for when he punishes sodom.
Thank you Mark! Oh my Lord you’re such a blessing! I kept sinning at work and I told my boyfriend this. I’m cussing and yelling to myself this isn’t healthy. The job didn’t utilize my gifts unless I was talking to customers and I’d experience burn out. I’m and introvert and had to be around customers all the time and yes it would lead to burn out. Interesting! Hm no door ever opened though. 😞
I did this 7 months ago and struggled to find a place with a better atmosphere to work in. I'm glad to say that I am now working in that kind of environment and have been there for 2 months. God's been good so far and I have been good in standing with my coworkers and supervisors.
Great video message again. Just waiting for right timing, for we all need finances. I work as nursing aid, 13 years, feeling some day exhausted, my brain freezes to from many interruptions, feeling not physically but mentally exhausted..... Please pray for me to find also change in the job field. God bless you! Amen
I work at a debt collector call center. Worldly music Boss belittles me (not intentionally but still) Adultery Everyone hates it there Pay is unpredictable I am dying inside. Please pray for me.
Only this past week have I realized I've been idolizing my job and career. I would forcefully work in service of men. Whereas Colossians 3:23 states: And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, not unto men. Starting last week I will be changing my life to work in the service of Jesus and not men.
I agree with your points, however, I struggle between what some would say “take a leap of faith in God and stop being so apprehensive about your faith”! In other words, I think logically like you do and fear of quitting a job when it’s my only livelihood at the moment. People say “quit” in faith, show your faith and God will provide and HE will give you a new job that fits your gifts/talents. I have been waiting and feel stuck in a job for decades and I am in human logic and reasoning in common sense when I keep the job I hate because it is my only means. Please help me understand, is it a lack of faith, or does God work through common sense reasoning like you taught in this video?
I think God wants us to be responsible about quitting. ie don't quit your job if you dont have something else lined up, eg dont quit coz you "think" God is telling you to, and then expect something to fall into your lap? I hate my job, in fact it brings me down, even spiritually, but quitting would be irresponsible, there's nothing else lined up. I would only quit if I truly heard God's voice telling me to and i had absolutely NO DOUBT that that was what He wanted.
All of these align I work in a club restaurant environment now I genuinely like the job because I love serving however the coworkers bully me and tease me also mock my faith as well I just took the job because I needed at the time and I have PTSD. Yesterday I broke down and walked out to breathe but I just didn’t have it on me to return also I have another job I start on Monday which is crazy how all of this played out and God was right on time . I was only going to stay because of my finances situation but this is all saying I need to quit and I prayed to God and this video helps me I know God will make a way 🙏🏾 so I wanted to give an update After this I took another job but wasn’t even there for long then I quit that one due to a lot of reasons now I’m at another job and I hate it it’s very highly stressfull and so much toxicity in the job I had an interview a few days ago I just pray this is it ! I’m tired of quitting I just want a peaceful job from God ❤🙏🏾 I’ll have to post another update lol
You are just giving practical wisdom, and give is gracing you to move forward but sometimes God will TELL YOU or quit your job. We have a direct relationship with God who can speak to us. It’s about relationship
I like helping people and I work as a resource specialist now. Before I was an information specialist and lot of people call our “call center” for help like food and shelter and other community resources. I work as an info specialist for a year and it’s constantly back to back call talking with people and helping them with resources. I came to the point where I don’t feel happy because you hear these people suffer and there’s barely resources to help. Believe or not I’m an introvert and it does make me tired in the end of the day. To the point where I had to find a different career. I was promoted because I wanted to do something else but still help contribute but not talking to people anymore. At one point I had a mental break down and said to God and I was miserable and I just can’t do it anymore . I pray that God let me leave the call center because I didn’t feel happy even though I have passion to help people. It makes me exhausted talking with people all day. Idk how God does it and listening to all these prayers all day. God is great.
God not telling me quiet my job but change the perspective of people I hang around which I did thank to lord amen but there might be few changes i got do thank you for video
God directed me without my knowing.... now i am happier. Beware, happier is not EASIER.... i have 6 am starts and 8 pm finishes 6 days a week.... but i am so much happier now. Thank God for the guidance.
In 2010 I was laid off from a high paying engineering job at 41. I found trucking after that and now I cannot imagine being at a desk again. I actually enjoy driving. And while I don’t make as much, between the two of us we are close to being back where we were. Maybe your field isn’t your field.
Currently Working for usps for about a month and I’ve noticed it takes my time away from chruch , family , and my ministry for music. Good pay but I work Sundays and I’ve been feeling that as the drummer for the church , God wants me to be there and I missed camp the weekend due to Work and missed out so much. I feel sad/depressed and I felt God spirit come over me to trust him for an open opportunity. Thinking of letting go and do what I actually love doing for God but at the same time , have a great flexible job 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I just quit a job that was not using my talents, skills and experience, rather, the unsophisticated, unorganized supervisor was using my back working me like a 20 year old instead of the 54 year old that I am. I quit last week, and it feels like a huge weight taken off me. Already have a few positive prospects.
I applied for a job at a casino and i went to the interview, but i didnt get the job. i believe that God didnt allow me to be hired as a lady serving beverages to customers who are gambling at the casino. I felt a hunch that my job position would be considered sinful because i'm catering and accomodating to sin by making customers comfortable in their sin.
Hehe, I have a difficult situation right here! I feel like 100% about No. 2. - I'm an introvert and have to be in a place where I have to encourage kids and their parents and that's really uncomfortable for me. Even though, the hardest part for me is that non-stop schedule and fast race throughout the day ( I have no time to pray in my spirit), then I break down and wish for 3 days off. BUT before I started here I left my previous job because of No. 3! :) I had this opportunity to start this new job and while I was working in previous job I prayed for a new job... And got here! So... Idk. I guess I will still look for other ways and new opportunities, but over everything learn to hear God's voice better? Because I feel like sometimes it was not God's voice or He just tests me really hard or punishes for some wrong turns, I don't know. Of course, it doesn't feel so great, but I'll be alright... I still have a chance as long as I got Him.
I quit my job because god told me to it’s now been 6 months I still haven’t been blessed with a job. I cried and prayed so much. I’ve asked god for a answer but so far I feel like I’ve been left out. I’ve been putting in applications and I ve even tried to start my own business but nothing has came of anything.
Mainly it's health issues for me. It's killing me and I'm at the point of just walking out and never going back. My position can be filled immediately and management wouldn't care at all. Yet I have difficulty finding a job because of my health issues cause me extreme pain to the point where I can't stand for long. Update: I've been in a new place for a year and a half now and am doing way better. I'm allowed the freedom to get the work done at my leisure, the stress levels are way less, and as long as the work gets done management doesn't complain.
It's now 7 months since starting a new job, better work environment a little further to drive but it's worth it for me because I work with a variety of people and am learning something new everyday.
Over 2 years now and am doing way better than when I started. Due to the health benefits being better I was able to get a procedure done that I'd been needing done for yrs. I'll be returning to work in several weeks after I'm given the ok by the Dr.
I'm glad you made the disclaimer in the beginning. I literally hate my job right now and dread getting up and feel like it doesn't aid to my gifts and find myself always getting tired of jobs so fast. Man I had God still tell me to get up and go to work 😢. I hate it so bad, I feel like I'm about to get an attitude with someone that doesn't deserve it. Then what we begin to do is eventually get ourselves fired from being in such disdain. I'm about to go cry when I get home. OMG what you said is so true. I don't like people but am forced to interact with them everyday but at the same time I feel like maybe God is trying to show me something because sadly I'm supposed to be in ministry as well. It's different having to be around them and do nothing vs God telling me to heal this person or talk to this person. It's basically nothing and did I say I hate it 😢.
#2 is definitely me. I feel so much peace when I’m tutoring 1-1 phonics to reading to struggling readers. I just found an online tutoring service that will allow me to do exactly what I do on Saturdays when tutoring. I was like 😲no way God did I just find this, I’m literally tutoring in reading already for myself. Then I journaled and prayed and about 10 minutes later I’m watching an ole school sitcom and one of the characters couldn’t read or spell and was in college. I’m like ok God you showing off, then a little later I had the thought to NOT completely quit my job but work part time in the mornings tutoring for the reading tutoring service. I said I may need to fast over this decision 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I’m sure relationship training would have been helpful 2-3 years ago.. and is super exciting for those in their 20s, 30s and 40’s. but I am close to 60 and just need a job.. I work hard and do good work.. i have a degree in nursing, I am consider myself well suited for my position and my strengths... Yet, I am not too proud to even work as a housekeeper and have been denied even that. I clean toilets listen to Christian music, and mop floors... I am fine w that... because servanthood is one of my spiritual gifts.. I could really care less about a relationship... sure, I would prefer to volunteer if I had funds, but I do not.. I’ve been burnt way too many times in the last few years... more than my entire life... I am not pursuing any more work.. God has to provide for me.. He provides for the lilies of the field and the birds of the air.. would He not provide for me??? If I continue my good fight I will be rewarded in heaven if not in this lifetime.. I can forgive people, but trust is earned..
Thanks, after hearing this, I'm sticking with the job I dread. I work for a manager who couldn't care less about God and it's obvious with how she carries herself. It greatly interferes with my ability to engage in work. I want to feel like I work with a manager not for on. I feel hopeless, but wait on God.
This is difficult for me. My current occupation is being a graduate PhD student in biochemistry. I been a PhD student for 7 years already and I feel it's draining my mind and my soul. My work environment is toxic where I am surrounded by toxic professors and graduate students and it makes me want to quit. However I unable to find a new replacement job. In addition, despite being stuck in the PhD program for more than 7 years, I have successfully passed all my required classes, passed all my required written exams, and passed all my required oral exams. The only thing left for me in the PhD program is my final dissertation defense. However with the recent case of coronavirus, I am totally stuck: cannot finish the PhD nor cannot find a new replacement job. Overall I am really stuck. Cannot quit and cannot do anything... I am uncertain what God is doing to my life but as of now, I think I should put all my faith in God's hands. In the meantime, I believe I should not quit the PhD program because regardless, I will be defending my dissertation and graduate eventually. So for my choice, I just do whatever I can. The rest, I will leave it up to God hands and I put all my faith in God's hands.
No it’s not just you. In some There is mistreatment so extreme. that an employee is FORCED to quit.. Yes you do your best and they lie on you and make it impossible to complete your job.
I feel for everybody in this situation. Im 57 and a supervisor in a busy shop. We have a new manager who in his first two months has yet to put in more than two weeks without going home with a headache or some such. The thing is we know he isnt being honest. We are at a very busy period and he managed to get the first week of this off by saying he had a pre booked holiday, but i think he booked it deliberately and then told his boss. I feel sinful always thinking bad of him, and am finding it hard to turn the other cheek. Hes dropped hints that he may not be in next week and its falling to myself and the rest of the team to constantly cover him, he doesnt report sick, just slopes off and it looks like he has done a full week. I feel petty and angry, and am trying hard to put up with it but its not easy. I really dont know what to do. I was angry even in church about it tonight and had to redo all the rotas in case he doesnt show next week. Obviously reporting him is bad, as then I would be judging him, whicn I do inside anyway. I stood down from management myself several years ago, due to heart problems. The manager who took over from me was brilliant, but God moved her on to better things and well she deserved it. Maybe this is my lot and I should accept. I camt afford to quit and my age is a handicap. Prayers would be appreciated and I pray for all you in the same predicaments. I just wish I didnt get so angry and passive aggressive.
My job wasn’t paying me and I held on because I believed in my boss (she struggled with mental issues) but it started killing me inside so I’d have dreams of quitting and I’ve decided to do it
God told me to quit my job 5 months ago. I had no money saved up. Im still in my apartment which costs 1425 a month. I keep thinking at the end of every month that i may have to leave this place. But if i do so be it. I know he’s Got me. Prior to this i had read the bible 7 times. I fell away for like 4 years. He’s taught me so much in these last five months. One of the most important things he taught me is that the bible isn’t the word of God he is. My daily bread comes straight from him. The bread of life.
Jesus is the living bread. But his written word is alive also. Don't underestimate it. The King James Bible is the true inspired infallible word of God. That is what your spirit needs to feed off of. Don't starve your spirit. Everything in the Christian life stems from that book. We don't even know how to pray without that book instructing us. There is no increasing our faith without that book. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. That book is God's mind. Read his mind.
@@SharlenesJourney I now work as a nurse at a detox and rehab. It’s been an exciting journey thus far. A lot has happened since as it’s been 3 years since. God is filled with surprising blessings.
I burnt out at age 23 :( I was in retail up til that point and am more of an introvert. The environment was also horrible and toxic. Will never go back unless God told me to…
I'm feeling the same too. I feel like leaving my business area where I make lots of money because of jealous people. I'm still thinking it's the devil speaking to me to go and suffer and start from scratch. I'm praying to God to give me signs before the enemies trick me
Thanks. This really helps me decide weather or not I should quit my job. I’ve been a marine for 3 years now and I have 2 years left on my contract! I’ll just tell them that God told me too
I believe God is telling me to leave. There have been so many signs towards a job that I wanted to do years ago and now looks like the perfect time to go. I hope I am following God's will.
I just got a job at a luxury car brand. I like the money but a lot of things go against my morals and how customers should be treated. I’m miserable, I’m just praying 🙏🏾 because I don’t wanna go over God. I’m so tired, I don’t know if I should go back to my old job. I’m just tired.
I want to quit so I have more time to grow spiritually, and use my talents to directly serve or encourage people. Please pray for discernment as I am not sure if this is simply the desire of Christians typically or if God wants me to do something different with my life. (I am saving up as much as I can for financial freedom as well.) Any advice and prayers would be appreciated!
I feel so guilty about a job I've just quit. There were parts of the job that were ok, but others i just didn't like/could do without help, i was lifting heavy items at a warehouse which are usually required to be a 2 person lift but usually i could only try and do it by myself which was a struggle. I feel like I've potentially gave up a test God has given me or given my self the chance to find something better, i really don't like feeling like I've let God down, i want to find the right balance.
Praying for you. Don't feel guilty anymore. You made the right choice, if even when making an effort things or tasks don't flow, it means that job was not for you. I pray you find/found something better 🙏 God bless you
hi Mark - thanks for this informative message. Can you please pray for me? I am confused, frustrated and unhappy. I don't know where my career leads me to. After working for 10 years, I am not sure where my path is leading me.
To those, actively seeking employment opportunities. LinkedIn, is a great way for employers to find you....as you can let them know you are available and when. I just did, and already got a job offer. LinkedIn is a site you can put your resume', and your profile & photo, onto. Tgus, increasing your chances of getting a job offer. Indeed.com, is another good site and you can apply right on the site. Good luck, and God bless you all!
(Half Off Deal!) AGW University: Relationship Training for Christian Singles: agwuniversity.teachable.com/p/total-access
Do you feel like you have tried everything to find a godly spouse? Perhaps you joined a Christian dating website or finally worked up the courage to talk someone at church . . . but still, nothing!
Well, I don’t believe it’s all your fault. Unfortunately I feel the church has way overcomplicated the process of meeting, dating, and marrying the one God has for you. This is why I am so excited about AGW University! I created these courses to clear up all the confusion.
My first group of students is currently going through the courses and the feedback has been great so far. I designed these biblical courses for people who feel like they are failing at Christian dating but want a help to know exactly what to do and not do to increase the chances of meeting their future spouse.
You are not alone. Join AGW University if you want specialized Christian relationship training from me. Open enrollment is happening right now. And if you enroll in all three courses, you get everything for half the price. Tuition is a fraction of the price as traditional college, but in my view the subjects we cover in these courses are far more important to a meaningful life than Math and English. If you’ve invested in your traditional education, you owe it yourself to now get educated on the biblical principles needed to actually get into a Christian relationship.
I’d love to work with you.
God bless!

Hi mark. I just sent you a supper long and desperate email on this topic about jobs because I was literally asking God to help me before seeing this. I’m so confused and I have to decide by tomorrow. I truly hope you can email me back

2. If you are miserable because your work does not utilize your gifts.
It's an important topic for sure :)
60th like!!!
yassss!!
Fruit of joy , right !
Mmmmmmmm this is a good point.
When it's affecting your mental and/or physical health, move on.
I prayed for a job closer to home and closer to my child's school, and the Most High opened a door for me. However, the salary was much lower than what I was making at the job I had. Nevertheless, I felt God telling me to take the job with the lower pay, so I did. I was so much happier working there, and the environment was more loving and caring. Sometimes we have to make a sacrifice to receive our blessing!!!! Are you willing?! 😊
Ma’am I have a year and 6 months of being in the military and I hate being bullied and ostracized everyday. I feel like God is calling me to be a teacher or a nurse because I have more empathy than most people. I do not know where he wants me, but I hope it’s for something better. Please pray for me
I just commented the same thing! Sometimes you just have to take that pay cut, if your well-paid job is causing misery. I am so much less angry and tense now. No job is worth your sanity. And it is nice to have extra cash, but life isn't all about money either, if it causes distress. I was unsure at first, but I'm glad that I made the decision to leave. I hope that you will find a job with a salary that is beyond what you were being paid before with none of the stress!
Your comment literally blessed me. God has literally opened another door for me and out of fear I didn’t want to take the pay cut. But I know he will provide for me. And I’d be much happier at the other job. Weeeeew!! Thank You!!
I came hear hoping to find someone in my same situation, and here you are, but way ahead of me. You inspire me. I haven’t made the move yet, but praying daily about it. I asked for this job and He delivered. I feel terrible going back and saying “God, I changed my mind, this new employer didn’t fix my mental health because the job is still the same, the workload is still the same… this new position just made me realize more how much I don’t want to do this anymore.” So torn. I’ll take a huge pay cut changing careers, but I feel so strongly the need to do it.
@@wendifoster9534hope and pray that god will open a door for you.
I think God is leading me to leave but I want to make sure it's His voice - not mine or the enemy trying to trick me.
I'm feeling the same too. I feel like leaving my business area where I make lots of money because of jealous people. I'm still thinking it's the devil speaking to me to go and suffer and start from scratch. I'm praying to God to give me signs before the enemy trick me
Thought I was one. I keep telling Him to give me more time to gather some money then He reminded me of the parable of the wedding feast.
Trust that G-d will bring you something better, so have faith and it will come to fruition, remember faith is the evidence of things unseen, and in y’all’s Spirit, you already know the answer
May G-d bless y’all dear souls
I work in fast food and I'm 57. I want to quit so bad but I'm not sure God wants me to yet. I'm just praying that God will lead me to a better job. I'm not sure what he wants me to do yet. Can you pray for me? I really just want to retire to be honest.
I worked at a nursing home for almost 15 years. Our campus has 3 buildings. I had a very abusive supervisor and was miserable. I asked God to remove me. He did. I work in the building next door under a different manager. I am doing much better. I have health issues so this smaller building helps me. I invested alot of time with this company, and my age is against me finding an outside job with the same rate of pay. He answers!
God takes care of his own, don't worry love, you'll be alright😄
Amen
Amen! I know He do!
PRAY PEOPLE THAT MAKING A DEVIL WORKS FROM WORK AND INSTEAD YOU QUIT ASK GOD OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN .

I’m a 17 year old who worked at fast food the lord told me to quit and now I believe he’s blessing me with the job I always wanted😢
Yes I worked at fast food too I quit this week and got a better paying job 😁 thank you jesus 🙌
not to be in your business but what is the job your doing you like now
I’m currently 17 now and I worked at five below and I feel like my voice doesn’t matter and I felt mistreated from my manager because I addressed to her nicely that I don’t like the treatment from her , and I just started working there and she made me doubt myself and made me felt like I was in the wrong but it’s like I don’t have to settle for anything because the God we serve will bless us all
@@laneshajackson8041 Jesus was a teacher

@@righteousoriginministries4685 I totally agree with you I love Myles Munroe.
Why should someone settle? If u dont like the job leave. You dont have to wait and settle . Trust God
He always comes through! Every time LOL
My coworkers regularly mock at others frustration and dismay, tell me “it could be worse” regularly , and tap dance on my personal morals. I left to work from home the last few hours and was told “you can’t leave.” “You’ll be here forever”. There are some environments where spiritual warfare run so deep, it turns ANYONE into a sinner.
I wouldn't stand for that bro I would leave I mean it's great your shared the word of the most high but like he said if this job doesn't align with the holy spirit and yr gifts it's not meant for u
Agreed.
SOS
Omg yessssss they mock my faith that’s what I was experiencing at work and the bullying it’s so bad also it’s like in a restaurant club setting so it’s a lot of sin
Same. Currently working from home because I couldn't take it anymore. Things have gone bad to worse, isolated, gossiped about and overlooked. I want to quit but I don't have any other alternative means of income. Please pray for me.
It was weird. God didn’t tell me to quit verbatim. But, I felt in my spirit that he wanted me to leave. When I would work there every-time I tried to tell myself to think positive at this job and to try to stay something bad would always happen. Every time I described my job to my friends I would always tell them that. The day that I quit I cried a little in the parking lot because it was over , but overall I had peace about it. The following day I had three signs that I did the right thing. Remember the quote that I stated early in my message? Well, I was watching a video and the women said “pay attention to this, you know something wasn’t meant for you when you try to make something work and something always go wrong.”
Yep God always shows me 3 times too
Me on September 13, 2019
I feel like God had been telling me for a year and I just don’t know what to do
Wow!!! That last sentence is my job completely. I am a very responsible, hardworking person. I have worked really hard, with God’s help, to build myself a sensible foundation. I have been in my current position for 5 years and worked so hard over the last year to get myself in a good spot to maintain my current position. NOTHING EVER GETS FIXED OR SOLVED AT THIS JOB - IT IS CRAZY. I am always trying to introduce logic and sensible, foundational solutions to the problems we face (so we don’t have to face them again). It doesn’t work! The problems don’t stop coming. I can’t take it any more and I am sooo tired. Not only in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. It does not matter how much time off I take or how much I have tried to push this tiredness aside (by telling myself I just need to work harder, it’s me not the job, etc.) I don’t even have the energy or strength to update my resume or seek out a resume writer. I am just so tired. Most people would tell me to keep striving, look for another job, etc. but I just can’t. At least not today. I am hoping God brings a miracle into my life that makes sense of this situation. I think most people, at least worldly people, would tell me I just need to suck it up and persist or look for another job, but they just don’t get how tired I am and how hard I have strived, not just at work but in all areas of my life. I think it’s time to stop relying on myself and “works” and be still and know that HE IS GOD. Please pray for me if you have time and are guided to do so, God bless everyone in general and whoever may be going through a similar or equally difficult situation.
@Jesus saves same here just quit today left and didn't look back. Had to get out physical mental health was suffering, needed a break, I just did it and won't look back.
I seriously was asking for a sign.... God speaks in strange and amazing ways:)
I'm glad this was timely for you!
Amen...me too...God is always in control.
You are using that so out of context.... God does speak to his people. That verse was about Jesus authenticating his divinity.
Me too. 😍
Cool!! Perfect timing. 😏😉
The best advice is to do what you love. Find out what makes you come alive and do that. Yeah we all have bills to pay and might have to work a mundane job. But.... we've got to make space to explore those hobbies or outside interests that bring life to our lives. And who gives a crap what others think. You like pottery/painting/taking photos/playing piano...? Do what you love and the $$$ will follow. At the very least, you will live more joyfully. And joy can be contagious.
Omg, I need you in my life right now! Thanks for that. I believe the same thing.
I definitely agree. Misery loves company and I'd rather ride take my Joy and ride solo!!
Thanks a lot for your words. Bless you !
Thanks for this encouragement 😢
2. I’m totally miserable, I’m always sad and in a bad mood when I enter the restaurant but today was my turning point. I left. I don’t how money will come my way and how I’m supposed to save it but I know that God always take care of his children and he definitely doesn’t want me in a bad environment. I’ve tried being positive and happy about my colleagues and the management but at the end of the day I’m still desperate. None of my gifts are being used, I feel like a ghost serving selfish clients
I feel you. Where are you now?
Same how are you now I just quit mines it took a very long time but I definitely did speak to God
I feel the same way. I’ve been working in healthcare for a while now and not until I got to know God better last year did I realize that this isn’t where I should be. My work is repetitive and serving selfish people. I want to work at a place where I actually GET to make a difference and have conversations with my patients, make them FEEL better, HEAL them instead of treating their symptoms. I have anxiety attacks before each shift which I pray away, but they come back bc I don’t see myself fit in this job. Thank god my husband has a job that will provide for both of us, however, I have made it my mission to not go after jobs that will help me make money, instead look for ones that God wants me to share my experience in and make a difference. This was mouthful but I finally made the decision to quit and have FAITH that my husband and I will be taken care of by God, bc he always takes care of his children ❤
A fourth sign might be that you are working with best honest intentions for your company yet get blamed by your boss and/or colleagues in an exaggerate amount more than average ..
God bless you
Exactly.
I went through that which pushed me out and I think God used that time to develop and strengthen me
I agree. I'm doing my best working early and even do overtime but they can just see my mistakes. I felt like I haven't done anything good. 😭😔
That was my issue, always looking at the one mistake instead of the 99 things I did right.
I quit my job for the same reasons being miserable best move I ever made
Same bro I'm at peace
Thank you, I prayed and I randomly landed on this video. God is starting to close the door on my job but I now know that he does want me to wait a little longer until he opens the next door. My boss has used verbally abusive language and has mocked me several times for being a Christian because I don't swear and act like others in the work environment. My boss has played mind games to and has said very demeaning things to me. For those that are struggling with the wait process..remember how Jesus was mocked and hung on a cross. When I think about that it always strengthens me because I know he had it way worse.
I wanted to work from home bc of my car (she old lol) and my kids, but I needed money. 5 days in and I'm feeling like I've taken steps back spiritually. In my flesh, cursing, "this B don't know me." I refuse to deal with disrespectful people, especially when leadership ignores it. Should people really have to tell you what you heard and/or saw?
So timely. I’m currently living in Japan and working as an English teacher, but absolutely miserable. The job promised freedom to teach in my own style, but I’m finding myself micromanaged and completely exhausted (this style of management is common in Japan and completely counterproductive). I have clashed with a co-worker recently over what I perceived as harassment to do things on my day off.
I need to take this to the Lord and carefully work out my next move. Cheers AGW!
I'm glad you found this video helpful. I hope you find a good fit for your next move!
Evangelise in Japan please
Hi Richie. How are you doing now? I am considering moving to Japan (I'm in TEFL class now). I don't like my current job in the states and I am too close with my boss as a we are family friends. I am looking specifically into getting involved with Christian organizations overseas if I decide to go.
@@michaellemmen I left Japan a few years back, not long after this comment. I miss the people but not the work culture, but I suppose my advice is to check reviews of the company. I still receive regular reviews about my old company - it still suffers from the same problems. Learn some Japanese and go in with your eyes open. There are plenty of ministry opportunities to partner with.
SMH. I am a new employee, 5 days, and I have seen that leadership does not correct their employees.
Blatantly disrespectful attitudes are ignored. No professionalism or consistency.
Well, my issue is authority and I’m an introvert. I don’t mind working or helping people...i speak to God about this numerous times. After 10 plus years in the medical field, I’m lead to open my own business... and be my own boss. I’ve asked God to help with my authority issue but I still feel the same way. I’m a very loyal employee but in find that when something personal comes up with my family even with me and I need time off..it all goes back to company politics. I shouldn’t have to beg to be home with a sick family member or get written up because something happen out of my control.. I’d rather work for my self and be with my family
This is exactly how i feel.....🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I work in a casino and I feel the Lord is leading me out just not sure what I'll do next......I'm listening to Him though.
Will be praying for you Kevin that God guide and direct you're steps to the right place. 💒
Thanks so much!
@@livingunashamed4869 you are welcome dear. 💒
I work in a casino, too. I am a table games dealer. The management is worse then the toxic co-workers. It sucks the life out of me. I have anxiety every time I go to work. But I put on my smiling face, and deal with it....to my detriment.
Kevin B wow I work at a Casino too and I feel the same way .
Yes we must pray so that God Will lead us the right path of our life... God bless you.
Bro YOUR TIMING IS IMPECCABLE. This is unbelievable, CRAZY!! God is good. Thank You.
I'm so glad this was timely!
I honestly hear so many coworkers talked about how miserable they’re and how they can’t stand this coworker or that manager but then to find out they’re such hypocrites, cause they’re hard to work with too. What I learn is that, it starts with each of us personally, it’s important that we be self aware but not just in work places , in life it self. Let’s be the person of peace and light, being all that god want us to be, in life and in our careers or jobs, bringing that light, bringing god with us to work, to make an difference, living in god purpose. Let’s continue to work on praying and asking god to
Guide us, giving us signs and dreams on how to get to the right job and career, through that getting to that godly purpose. Being self aware and making sure we’re all god want us to be, spreading peace and light, rather if you’re a manager or coworker, but being the best at what ever we do, helping changing lives for the better. Making an difference 😇🙏😇
I prayed and God took me out of the job and I am on insurance. I am working on my PTSD and my worker is recommending a new job. My health has improved so much! ✝️❤️
Its affecting my mental and physical health , its very bad. I had a vision of getting a new job im still waiting but im definitely leaving that job , I just can't...😢
Update I left and it's the best decision I have ever made. I'm not sure what to do but my spirit is calm and is trusting God for a better life.
God is telling me to quit my job.The same force that told me to accept the job now is telling me with the same force to quit my job.
Did you quit your job? And same he wants me to quit
How did you know is God
Same here!
I got this job as I wasnt the best applicant, and my salary doubled in 3 years sinces I started after graduation.
But now we use technology I hate, and not useful anywhere, and I already hate the job in the mornings…but I dont have the skills either to change jobs.. so hard situation
@@kennedyosagie6762 John 10:27-28, the more you spend time with the Lord you are more sensitive to His voice 🤍spend time with Him, spend more time with Him, Live for Him. Stay in/ Increase constant prayer, worship, reading the Word, ask Him to reveal himself to you & He will as long as you seek Him. It takes time to build that relationship with our Father 🤍
@@jenniferrodriguez6953 I love this!!!
Item 3: a better job may not be the right job....DISCERNMENT
God gave me the go ahead, I have been thinking about quitting my job for a long time I got treated like a slave for a whole year but I kept myself together and kept pushing but today. The owner of the company I was working for called one of our coworkers while he was driving me home and the boss told my coworker on the phone that they are gonna let me go and give my coworkers son the job and there plan was to keep me there for longer until his son was ready to work. I think god really set up that drive home and let me know the truth it wasn’t a coincidence at all. Thank you lord I love you and pray to you❤️
I have been in a very weird place this year (2019). Last year, I finally decided to leave a job I had been at for ten years, a toxic place that has no real opportunity, and doesn't care about how I gave my all. I had burned out and gotten a bad attitude over the last year there. I prayed and asked God for the opportunity to move on. I know I stayed at that job way too long because of fear of change. Anyhow, I found a new job with better pay, benefits, better hours, etc. All seemed right. I gave a proper notice and everything, even though I would have rather walked out, I didnt.
At my new job, I was really excited and really grateful to God for blessing me. I was even afforded the opportunity not long after to transfer to a position very close to home, close enough to go home on my lunch break. At my new position, we even prayed each day before shift. Then everything went crazy, with the good people I was getting to know and respect all getting fired, tumult on a daily basis, utterly hateful customers that blamed us newer faces for the terminations, and corporate breathing down everyone's necks.
During the stress, I made a few mistakes and got fired. I even had the boss say a few things that was very hurtful and uncalled for. I completely lost all hope. I was truly devasted because I had finally stepped out on what I thought was faith, got what I feel was a blessing from God, and then somehow utterly ruined that blessing by being a failure. I have dealt with Major Depression for twenty years, but this was the moment where I truly gave in to despair and planned a suicide and made all preperations. Only God in His infinite wisdom somehow made me wait a week since I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. I don't know why I was willing to put off killing myself, but it had to have been placed there by God as I look back. I ended up spending two full weeks locked up at the hospital.
Good did come out of it, as a lot changed and my family was there to support me. We have been a lot closer since. I also feel a lot better in regards to that awful hopeless despair, but it hasn't been an easy road to recovery. My job lied about me and I had to fight for weeks to get unemployment. Anxiety made that a grueling experience. It took me a long time to finally have the courage to even start applying for jobs again. I felt so weak and lost in the wind. I prayed for guidance, for God to show me a path. All I wanted was to be able to use my skills, be a good employee, and make my way in life with a modicum of self respect which had always been lacking.
I have really struggled with the fact that I finally went out on a limb, took a chance, got blessed by God, and then ruined that blessing inside of 9 months and ended up on cusp of suicide. How could that have happened? How could I be such a failure and ruin a blessing? I think I have figured out that God offered the new job as merely a stepping stone, and that the loss of hope and the despair that ensued forced me to truly tackle the depression that had always been a problem. It was very difficult to be able to see that in a larger context and to see the good that came out of it.
I have struggled to find a new job. It has become r apparent that at my age, jobs are simply not easy to find. I prayed for the path to be illumibated, for God to lead me. I worked the previous job exactly 9 months, and on the day I start my new job next week, I will have been unemployed for exactly 9 months. The new job pays a bit more and seems to have all finally worked out. It has been a rough road but God has provided a path. Please pray for me that this job will be a suitable match and that I can succeed in it. There is still some anxiety and fear after what happened previously, but I keep trying to have faith that all will be ok. I prayed for a path to take, so now one seems to have arrived. Pray for me to have strong faith and to be positive, and to not let fear stand in my way.
Praying for you. You will be ok stop beating yourself up so much you didnt ruin the blessing you cant control other people or situations its just life on lifes terms. God allows things to happen like despair to cling to him more and to work on our character detects. If Gods for you then who can be against you.
@@shepherd2220 So true. God has done a lot for me, and I have come to realize that there was a reason everything happened as it did. The previous job did finally make me move, to get up and leave the toxic job that preceded it. Getting fired also forced me to seek out help for Major Depression which had still been a problem, to be honest with my family, to be closer with them, and to be closer to God. It was a struggle and hard to figure the reasons for this bad year out, but in retrospect it is quite clear. Weird how that works...no, actually amazing how it works because God knows what He is doing! Thank you for commenting and thank you for your prayers. One week to go and I start my new job!! Thank you God for your blessings!
No problem we're all in this together. Hope all goes well with the new job. Praise and glory to Jesus Christ.
God bless you with healing and peace 🙏🏻❤
I hear you and what you went through is absolutely horrible. I am so sorry. Life is so hard at times . I know God loves you and I'm glad your family is helping. I wish I could help, and will say a prayer. I've been through the ringer, and I've learned not to be hard on myself. There are things outside our control, and we live in hard times. May God bless you.
I just put in my two weeks at my current job. I feel relieved but on the flip side I do still feel stressed that I have to complete these two weeks until the end. I feel suppressed and that I have not been able to fully connect with anyone on this job. So many are filled with envy strife and hatred. Continually asking God how to pass this test. Constant feelings of falling short. My genuine prayer is that I’ve been able to reach and draw someone with kindness. I am naturally an introvert and it’s not always that I speak but when I do it’s with kindness and with careful consideration. At times I feel misunderstood and lack the ability to “stand up” for myself. I feel that my heart has grown so tender here recently whereas before- anything goes and I’ll say whatever was my mentality. I truly believe work environments should be conducive to growth however I feel that it is seen as shameful at this current workplace; nobody wants better not one person.. I pray for PEACE🔥 immeasurable and i PRAY that Gods love abounds and covers me like never before
I feel that this started doom and gloom but I have found along the way to have encouraged myself. I’m thankful to God and I pray His peace and blessings to each of you in your transition
In Jesus’ name.. amen.
Going through the same thing I hope you found PEACE IN YOUR SITUATION AND LIFE
Going through the same thing here too. I pray we all find what we’ve been looking for
Thanks! This video actually encouraged me to stay at my current job and accept the offer of a year contract. I was doubting so much but I realize now that it's only my own struggles that I need to deal with, but that the work environment is actually pretty good!
My job makes me absolutely miserable, I have worked here for 13 years and give my all and can even deal with the remarks about being a Christian but everyday I am berated, cussed at, screamed at, it makes me so stressed out I ended up in the psychiatric hospital suicidal. I am miserable everyday, 3 times in one week while searching for what to do god showed me it was time to move on but I’ve been scared, please pray for me guys I really need it
Don’t listen to mean comments. I am in the same boat. We are hated because we are not of this world.
I feel sorry about your predicament but if you're ended up in the psychiatric hospital due to your job, I think god has sent an important sign to you to leave. No human being should be treated like the way you were treated even if the pay is lucrative. Perhaps it's time to move on for other options and as long it can pay the bills and basic stuff, that's more than enough. Don't be scared as that feeling is lower vibration and if you are in that vibration long enough, you tend to attract unfavourable situations. I pray for your happiness, sanity and wellness eventhough I'm from different faith🙏
I'll pray for you
Sometimes you have to a leap of faith, God is there waiting to catch you.
I am so sorry you went through this! Hope you are okay now. What have you been up to now if you don't mind me asking!
I quit my job last month because I didn’t feel like I belonged like the energy very miserable.
I feel this and I’m just on week two but I’m scared with no money saved
Sign 4 God is telling you to leave your job: this video gets uploaded the day of your job interview after praying for clarity on how to make a decision on whether to leave your company or not! Lol
I’m an introvert and I need a job where I can be alone all day.
This is me...I just want my time to talk to God more
Sometimes job is so full of politics it kills your spirit.... Even though it's a great job in service of others... What to do then? Stay and suffer or walk away and find other venues to serve others to remove plotics and micromanagement?
I endured for 4.5 years of that. I quit last month.
You answered my question with your question. My mom always tells me to find a quite job and use my energy to go help people in other ways! It’s truly my passion, but my job kills my spirit and puts a lot of extra stress on doing something that I truly love. No thank you!
Yeah I agree with you sister.
@@sagaciousid yayyyy!!! I hope you got a more satisfying job.
I hope I made the right choice 💛😭 I put in my two weeks yesterday and now I'm scrambling for a job. I know the Lord protects his children from the corrupt. I had to get out of there.
God is in control..He will Bless You.
@@remainhumble6654 Thank you for that reminder. God bless
Jade, I understand exactly where you are; I'm in the same boat. May God bless us both with new jobs & income
@@mitcheleneking7390 Amen!
Snap, I just gave one months' notice. I feel anxious but like you I had to escape the corruption. I know God will help us both and blast open doors of opportunity!! Xxx
I am an electrical engineer and worked away from home most of my life. Lately in my current job i worked in a different country and only see home 2 weeks a year. I finally decided to quit and find a job closer to home to see my family more. Praise Jesus. Its very difficult to live alone thousands of miles from home.
Thank you for this video, l actually quit before l saw this video and l guess the signs were all over 😃 now happy with my new job
Hi Brother Mark, I just quit my job last week. I was working at a restaurant but the work environment was very ungodly sometimes. And my supervisor really needs the Lord but was not open. So I was miserable because of all that and being mistreated. I am praying for all of them. Please pray for me your little sister. I really want a job that glorifies The Lord
This is EXACTLY where i am at in my life right now.. im trying to get back to God and follow Him, but i am very much an introvert and i work fulltime in a cashier/customer service job at a retail store (for a little over a year now), i also have struggled my whole life with social anxiety and thought maybe i could learn and grow despite this. But I dread going to work now because its so chaotic and upsetting at times, and it exhausts me to the point where i just cant do anything else.. ive tried talking to my employer but i dont think anything will help at this point, no one seems to understand just how much effort i put in every day there. I also recently found out a couple of the other cashiers I work with were promoted to higher positions instead of me, so I really feel unappreciated. I honestly dont know what else i could do in this town as an introvert.. all i know is this job is not good for me.. i feel so lost 😢
im having this moment right now.. i can feel myself getting weary at this day job that im at.... and idk, im real nervous about ACTUALLY doing it... please god give me another sign............
As a semi-introvert myself, I would recommend cooking positions at a restaurant or even lawn care was a very peaceful job cause I could just put my headphones in and get my work done without having to talk to people. Hope this helped! Jesus loves you!!!
I know myself I'm doing a job I don't like. I don't like what I do and am waiting for God to show me where He wants me to be 💙
I definitely feel stuck in my job. I don't feel like I'm using my talents or passion. I'm glad when I can go home or when I'm off. I'm tired and don't have energy because of this. The only thing I want to do is to fulfill my purpose for God and have been praying for it but I'm still waiting.
Me too…
I used to feel stuck and drained and moody and burnt out til I left the family business (a bar). I believed that it was time and I’ve been waiting for something but … I don’t know, fam. I’ll pray for us.
hey, any updates? :)
I’m in the same boat. I’m about to resign soon cause I can’t take it anymore. If I stay here, this place will slowly kill me. How did your situation turn out?
@nnhernan Hey, keep praying and believing 🙏 I have a great job since September last year. Never thought I would do this but I work with people that have addictions or are mentally ill, I help them with activities, I don't know what that's called in English but now slowly I begin to see and I am using my talent one way or another. Although the job is good I'm still believing for my own business so that's the next chapter! God is good, He will never let you down. God bless ❤️
@clubpenguin201 Long story but yes, God has blessed me with a great job last year! God is good, don't give up, keep believing for the promises, they are ours amen. God bless ❤️
Thank you💜AGW! I really needed this confirmation. I was really burned out on my last job. #2 was the one I resenated with. I thought God was signaling me to quit my job at that time, but I did not know if it was just me. I quit my job anyway. But my family was really against with what I did.
God wants me to leave my job for ages then lockdown happens an god gave me a job idea that I’m leaving my job to try a new job that would make me my own boss 🙏🏼 we not got much but we will have enough to start small and grow 🥰🤞🏼
If you work with people around you who constantly reject him everyday do you think God is helping you to build resistance, or is he telling you to walk cause you don’t wanna be caught for when he punishes sodom.
Thank you Mark! Oh my Lord you’re such a blessing! I kept sinning at work and I told my boyfriend this. I’m cussing and yelling to myself this isn’t healthy.
The job didn’t utilize my gifts unless I was talking to customers and I’d experience burn out.
I’m and introvert and had to be around customers all the time and yes it would lead to burn out. Interesting!
Hm no door ever opened though. 😞
I did this 7 months ago and struggled to find a place with a better atmosphere to work in. I'm glad to say that I am now working in that kind of environment and have been there for 2 months. God's been good so far and I have been good in standing with my coworkers and supervisors.
Great video message again. Just waiting for right timing, for we all need finances. I work as nursing aid, 13 years, feeling some day exhausted, my brain freezes to from many interruptions, feeling not physically but mentally exhausted.....
Please pray for me to find also change in the job field.
God bless you! Amen
🙏
I work at a debt collector call center.
Worldly music
Boss belittles me (not intentionally but still)
Adultery
Everyone hates it there
Pay is unpredictable
I am dying inside. Please pray for me.
Only this past week have I realized I've been idolizing my job and career. I would forcefully work in service of men. Whereas Colossians 3:23 states: And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, not unto men. Starting last week I will be changing my life to work in the service of Jesus and not men.
this is actually match . i experienced it one year ago and realize it now.. and now im in another work place but this video bring me flashback .
I agree with your points, however, I struggle between what some would say “take a leap of faith in God and stop being so apprehensive about your faith”! In other words, I think logically like you do and fear of quitting a job when it’s my only livelihood at the moment. People say “quit” in faith, show your faith and God will provide and HE will give you a new job that fits your gifts/talents. I have been waiting and feel stuck in a job for decades and I am in human logic and reasoning in common sense when I keep the job I hate because it is my only means. Please help me understand, is it a lack of faith, or does God work through common sense reasoning like you taught in this video?
I think God wants us to be responsible about quitting. ie don't quit your job if you dont have something else lined up, eg dont quit coz you "think" God is telling you to, and then expect something to fall into your lap? I hate my job, in fact it brings me down, even spiritually, but quitting would be irresponsible, there's nothing else lined up. I would only quit if I truly heard God's voice telling me to and i had absolutely NO DOUBT that that was what He wanted.
Is the Lord advising me to quit my job again? Lol. This is the second time I have seen this in the past few days.
All of these align I work in a club restaurant environment now I genuinely like the job because I love serving however the coworkers bully me and tease me also mock my faith as well I just took the job because I needed at the time and I have PTSD. Yesterday I broke down and walked out to breathe but I just didn’t have it on me to return also I have another job I start on Monday which is crazy how all of this played out and God was right on time . I was only going to stay because of my finances situation but this is all saying I need to quit and I prayed to God and this video helps me I know God will make a way 🙏🏾 so I wanted to give an
update
After this I took another job but wasn’t even there for long then I quit that one due to a lot of reasons now I’m at another job and I hate it it’s very highly stressfull and so much toxicity in the job I had an interview a few days ago I just pray this is it ! I’m tired of quitting I just want a peaceful job from God ❤🙏🏾 I’ll have to post another update lol
You are just giving practical wisdom, and give is gracing you to move forward but sometimes God will TELL YOU or quit your job. We have a direct relationship with God who can speak to us. It’s about relationship
I like helping people and I work as a resource specialist now. Before I was an information specialist and lot of people call our “call center” for help like food and shelter and other community resources. I work as an info specialist for a year and it’s constantly back to back call talking with people and helping them with resources. I came to the point where I don’t feel happy because you hear these people suffer and there’s barely resources to help. Believe or not I’m an introvert and it does make me tired in the end of the day. To the point where I had to find a different career. I was promoted because I wanted to do something else but still help contribute but not talking to people anymore. At one point I had a mental break down and said to God and I was miserable and I just can’t do it anymore . I pray that God let me leave the call center because I didn’t feel happy even though I have passion to help people. It makes me exhausted talking with people all day. Idk how God does it and listening to all these prayers all day. God is great.
God not telling me quiet my job but change the perspective of people I hang around which I did thank to lord amen but there might be few changes i got do thank you for video
God directed me without my knowing.... now i am happier. Beware, happier is not EASIER.... i have 6 am starts and 8 pm finishes 6 days a week.... but i am so much happier now. Thank God for the guidance.
This is depressing 😩 no job offer but I’m miserable and this job isn’t in my field. Sigh
Terrica Simmons make sure you have no unconfessed sins and any un forgiveness in your heart.
Be patient, Timing is on Gods watch!
In 2010 I was laid off from a high paying engineering job at 41. I found trucking after that and now I cannot imagine being at a desk again. I actually enjoy driving. And while I don’t make as much, between the two of us we are close to being back where we were. Maybe your field isn’t your field.
Me too,
we aren’t watching this video for no reason so there’s another sign, praise God!
Currently
Working for usps for about a month and I’ve noticed it takes my time away from chruch , family , and my ministry for music. Good pay but I work Sundays and I’ve been feeling that as the drummer for the church , God wants me to be there and I missed camp the weekend due to Work and missed out so much. I feel sad/depressed and I felt God spirit come over me to trust him for an open opportunity. Thinking of letting go and do what I actually love doing for God but at the same time , have a great flexible job 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I just left my other and I’m starting a new one. God has another plan for me
I have literally been asking God this
I just quit a job that was not using my talents, skills and experience, rather, the unsophisticated, unorganized supervisor was using my back working me like a 20 year old instead of the 54 year old that I am.
I quit last week, and it feels like a huge weight taken off me. Already have a few positive prospects.
You have endured.
I applied for a job at a casino and i went to the interview, but i didnt get the job. i believe that God didnt allow me to be hired as a lady serving beverages to customers who are gambling at the casino. I felt a hunch that my job position would be considered sinful because i'm catering and accomodating to sin by making customers comfortable in their sin.
No way God wants you there. Friends and family tell me to go to this new Casino because their food is so good. I will never even enter the door.
Hehe, I have a difficult situation right here! I feel like 100% about No. 2. - I'm an introvert and have to be in a place where I have to encourage kids and their parents and that's really uncomfortable for me. Even though, the hardest part for me is that non-stop schedule and fast race throughout the day ( I have no time to pray in my spirit), then I break down and wish for 3 days off. BUT before I started here I left my previous job because of No. 3! :) I had this opportunity to start this new job and while I was working in previous job I prayed for a new job... And got here! So... Idk.
I guess I will still look for other ways and new opportunities, but over everything learn to hear God's voice better? Because I feel like sometimes it was not God's voice or He just tests me really hard or punishes for some wrong turns, I don't know. Of course, it doesn't feel so great, but I'll be alright... I still have a chance as long as I got Him.
I quit my job because god told me to it’s now been 6 months I still haven’t been blessed with a job. I cried and prayed so much. I’ve asked god for a answer but so far I feel like I’ve been left out. I’ve been putting in applications and I ve even tried to start my own business but nothing has came of anything.
Hope you got thru by now
What made you think God told you to? I'm Just asking. I'm a Christian too,
You have given wise, practical insights here. Thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful! All glory to God :)
Mainly it's health issues for me. It's killing me and I'm at the point of just walking out and never going back. My position can be filled immediately and management wouldn't care at all. Yet I have difficulty finding a job because of my health issues cause me extreme pain to the point where I can't stand for long.
Update: I've been in a new place for a year and a half now and am doing way better. I'm allowed the freedom to get the work done at my leisure, the stress levels are way less, and as long as the work gets done management doesn't complain.
It's now 7 months since starting a new job, better work environment a little further to drive but it's worth it for me because I work with a variety of people and am learning something new everyday.
Same here it was killing my health the 7 months I was there. I worked grave 12am to 8:30am…little did I know before I joined Im not cut out for it.
Over 2 years now and am doing way better than when I started. Due to the health benefits being better I was able to get a procedure done that I'd been needing done for yrs. I'll be returning to work in several weeks after I'm given the ok by the Dr.
This was very timely for me. Thank you and God bless you brother.
I quited today i saw its not for me and i saw this witch confirmed that God wanted it to happen.
He has a plan
I'm glad you made the disclaimer in the beginning. I literally hate my job right now and dread getting up and feel like it doesn't aid to my gifts and find myself always getting tired of jobs so fast. Man I had God still tell me to get up and go to work 😢. I hate it so bad, I feel like I'm about to get an attitude with someone that doesn't deserve it. Then what we begin to do is eventually get ourselves fired from being in such disdain. I'm about to go cry when I get home.
OMG what you said is so true. I don't like people but am forced to interact with them everyday but at the same time I feel like maybe God is trying to show me something because sadly I'm supposed to be in ministry as well. It's different having to be around them and do nothing vs God telling me to heal this person or talk to this person. It's basically nothing and did I say I hate it 😢.
Thank you Mark great Godly counsel so much appreciate all you're video's! 💒💗 God Bless you.
#2 is definitely me. I feel so much peace when I’m tutoring 1-1 phonics to reading to struggling readers. I just found an online tutoring service that will allow me to do exactly what I do on Saturdays when tutoring.
I was like 😲no way God did I just find this, I’m literally tutoring in reading already for myself. Then I journaled and prayed and about 10 minutes later I’m watching an ole school sitcom and one of the characters couldn’t read or spell and was in college.
I’m like ok God you showing off, then a little later I had the thought to NOT completely quit my job but work part time in the mornings tutoring for the reading tutoring service. I said I may need to fast over this decision 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I’m sure relationship training would have been helpful 2-3 years ago.. and is super exciting for those in their 20s, 30s and 40’s. but I am close to 60 and just need a job.. I work hard and do good work.. i have a degree in nursing, I am consider myself well suited for my position and my strengths...
Yet, I am not too proud to even work as a housekeeper and have been denied even that. I clean toilets listen to Christian music, and mop floors... I am fine w that... because servanthood is one of my spiritual gifts..
I could really care less about a relationship... sure, I would prefer to volunteer if I had funds, but I do not.. I’ve been burnt way too many times in the last few years... more than my entire life... I am not pursuing any more work.. God has to provide for me.. He provides for the lilies of the field and the birds of the air.. would He not provide for me???
If I continue my good fight I will be rewarded in heaven if not in this lifetime.. I can forgive people, but trust is earned..
Do not tempt the Lord.
Thanks, after hearing this, I'm sticking with the job I dread. I work for a manager who couldn't care less about God and it's obvious with how she carries herself. It greatly interferes with my ability to engage in work. I want to feel like I work with a manager not for on. I feel hopeless, but wait on God.
This is difficult for me. My current occupation is being a graduate PhD student in biochemistry. I been a PhD student for 7 years already and I feel it's draining my mind and my soul. My work environment is toxic where I am surrounded by toxic professors and graduate students and it makes me want to quit.
However I unable to find a new replacement job. In addition, despite being stuck in the PhD program for more than 7 years, I have successfully passed all my required classes, passed all my required written exams, and passed all my required oral exams. The only thing left for me in the PhD program is my final dissertation defense. However with the recent case of coronavirus, I am totally stuck: cannot finish the PhD nor cannot find a new replacement job.
Overall I am really stuck. Cannot quit and cannot do anything...
I am uncertain what God is doing to my life but as of now, I think I should put all my faith in God's hands. In the meantime, I believe I should not quit the PhD program because regardless, I will be defending my dissertation and graduate eventually. So for my choice, I just do whatever I can. The rest, I will leave it up to God hands and I put all my faith in God's hands.
Our Father God plan is perfect ❤️😊
Is jst the same working where you are not appreciated no matter how much you try to do your best no need to stay
No it’s not just you. In some
There is mistreatment so extreme. that an employee is FORCED to quit.. Yes you do your best and they lie on you and make it impossible to complete your job.
I’m losing my job with Canadian pacific railway due to Covid vaccine mandates. I won’t get the jab…just praying The Lord will direct me to a new job.
I am not working right now no money no food but I pray to god to find a way for me amen
How are you now? 1.25.24
Thanks a lot for those wonderful sobering wise words.God bless you.
You're most welcome!
I feel for everybody in this situation. Im 57 and a supervisor in a busy shop. We have a new manager who in his first two months has yet to put in more than two weeks without going home with a headache or some such. The thing is we know he isnt being honest. We are at a very busy period and he managed to get the first week of this off by saying he had a pre booked holiday, but i think he booked it deliberately and then told his boss. I feel sinful always thinking bad of him, and am finding it hard to turn the other cheek. Hes dropped hints that he may not be in next week and its falling to myself and the rest of the team to constantly cover him, he doesnt report sick, just slopes off and it looks like he has done a full week.
I feel petty and angry, and am trying hard to put up with it but its not easy. I really dont know what to do. I was angry even in church about it tonight and had to redo all the rotas in case he doesnt show next week. Obviously reporting him is bad, as then I would be judging him, whicn I do inside anyway. I stood down from management myself several years ago, due to heart problems. The manager who took over from me was brilliant, but God moved her on to better things and well she deserved it. Maybe this is my lot and I should accept. I camt afford to quit and my age is a handicap. Prayers would be appreciated and I pray for all you in the same predicaments. I just wish I didnt get so angry and passive aggressive.
My job wasn’t paying me and I held on because I believed in my boss (she struggled with mental issues) but it started killing me inside so I’d have dreams of quitting and I’ve decided to do it
God told me to quit my job 5 months ago. I had no money saved up. Im still in my apartment which costs 1425 a month. I keep thinking at the end of every month that i may have to leave this place. But if i do so be it. I know he’s Got me. Prior to this i had read the bible 7 times. I fell away for like 4 years. He’s taught me so much in these last five months. One of the most important things he taught me is that the bible isn’t the word of God he is. My daily bread comes straight from him. The bread of life.
Jesus is the living bread. But his written word is alive also. Don't underestimate it. The King James Bible is the true inspired infallible word of God. That is what your spirit needs to feed off of. Don't starve your spirit. Everything in the Christian life stems from that book. We don't even know how to pray without that book instructing us. There is no increasing our faith without that book. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. That book is God's mind. Read his mind.
How are you now !!? I hope all is well and everything worked out
@@SharlenesJourney I now work as a nurse at a detox and rehab. It’s been an exciting journey thus far. A lot has happened since as it’s been 3 years since. God is filled with surprising blessings.
I burnt out at age 23 :( I was in retail up til that point and am more of an introvert. The environment was also horrible and toxic. Will never go back unless God told me to…
I'm feeling the same too. I feel like leaving my business area where I make lots of money because of jealous people. I'm still thinking it's the devil speaking to me to go and suffer and start from scratch. I'm praying to God to give me signs before the enemies trick me
yes, be patient and seek the Lord's guidance
Thanks. This really helps me decide weather or not I should quit my job. I’ve been a marine for 3 years now and I have 2 years left on my contract! I’ll just tell them that God told me too
You'll definitely know when God is telling you... don't be fooled by the devil. This video is so on target!!!!
I already quit I couldn't take it anymore.......
I got fired today because I respected sabbath
I believe God is telling me to leave. There have been so many signs towards a job that I wanted to do years ago and now looks like the perfect time to go. I hope I am following God's will.
I just got a job at a luxury car brand. I like the money but a lot of things go against my morals and how customers should be treated. I’m miserable, I’m just praying 🙏🏾 because I don’t wanna go over God. I’m so tired, I don’t know if I should go back to my old job. I’m just tired.
I want to quit so I have more time to grow spiritually, and use my talents to directly serve or encourage people. Please pray for discernment as I am not sure if this is simply the desire of Christians typically or if God wants me to do something different with my life. (I am saving up as much as I can for financial freedom as well.) Any advice and prayers would be appreciated!
Would terrible debilitating anxiety and panic attacks be a sign? I work in a call center, USAA. I have never dealt with such depression and anxiety.
same here I hate and we have to work 12 days straight before we are off and the job is so boring , drives me nuts
Bolin Cartest I completely do agree with you, I have been here ,
I feel so guilty about a job I've just quit. There were parts of the job that were ok, but others i just didn't like/could do without help, i was lifting heavy items at a warehouse which are usually required to be a 2 person lift but usually i could only try and do it by myself which was a struggle. I feel like I've potentially gave up a test God has given me or given my self the chance to find something better, i really don't like feeling like I've let God down, i want to find the right balance.
Praying for you. Don't feel guilty anymore. You made the right choice, if even when making an effort things or tasks don't flow, it means that job was not for you. I pray you find/found something better 🙏 God bless you
hi Mark - thanks for this informative message. Can you please pray for me? I am confused, frustrated and unhappy. I don't know where my career leads me to. After working for 10 years, I am not sure where my path is leading me.
Prayed for you! Have you tried going to a private place and waiting after you pray in complete silence? 🙏
Please pray for me man of God,thank you so much
