I need some prayers for the workplace
« on: May 13, 2009, 04:09:38 PM »
I am always in fear at my present employer, I really want to get out of there and am working towards that but I get angry sometimes due to incompetence I run into there that you see invariably at any workplace like that, but in the meantime I need some prayers to help me with my temper and help keep me out of trouble. Bless you all, Tony.

I work with a fellow Christian that has went through the same thing. Management in the workplace does not usually contain Gods way. So his tounge would often get him into trouble also. It has taken time, but through prayer he has been able to not rebel when management or someone does something that he finds wrong. One thing that has worked for him is to say a prayer every mourning and ask God to hold his tounge in these situations. In these situations, ask yourself "what would Jesus do"

Well I am leaving that place, it's probably for the better even though I feel the jobsearch is going to be tough, oh well, I still have my health and don't have anybody depending on me to provide for them. Soldier on I guess, Cheers all.  :)

Just keep praying, Tony, God will open a door for you sooner or later, but you still have to pray earnestly and have faith.

   I have been out of work over five years from a serious back injury. During that time my company had turned their back on me, and even when there was a job I could still do, they would not give it to me. I was steaming mad for quite a while as you can imagine.
   During the time out, I decided I was going to try to read my Bible every day. It took a while to get into the habit, but I got the hang of it. In about three and a half years, I was able to read my Bible from beginning to end! My Faith in God grew tremendously (I don't really like reading either, LOL).
   I realized that God not only wanted my back to get better, but more importantly he wanted my soul to get better!
   Today, I still can't work due to the injury, but the Good Lord continues to provide for me DAILY. I now know some day my back will be perfect, and I look forward to meeting my Maker. I now have joined a church and am a Deacon in Training. I have plenty of time to visit the sick and shut-in, and help a little at the local food pantry stocking the shelves to help the poor.I figure some day I may even need the help of the pantry, but for now, I have everything I need and more, even without a job! So don't give up, just keep looking up!
   I will pray for you also tony, and don't worry!
   In Christ, Eric

Hello ladies & gentlemen, I am out of there since June 12, and started my new job on July 13th, It's a tough go but to get some idea what the other place was like, the worst day at my new employer is better than the best day at my old employer, I was talking to my former boss at my old job, he told me he wants out of there, and the working conditions have worsened (according to another one of my former work mates I met in the same mall 2 minutes after meeting my former boss! ) fate is a strange thing isn't it? I do pray quite a bit Thanks for the prayers. Tony
