Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Does God not hear your prayers for help and strength? Yes, He does hear - and He answers. He will give you exactly what you need exactly when you need it. Not more than you need, not sooner than you need it. He wants us to remain dependent, looking to Him always for His power and support, trusting His promises to care for us perfectly. How cool it is to see Him do so faithfully and consistently, just as He promised He would!
It helps me to remember that I'm never just doing a job to pay the bills. I am an ambassador for Christ wherever I am. I am always his light in the darkness of the world. Or I should be. It's easy to forget that the workplace is a mission field. God intends to touch lives with His love and truth through me (and you). When I really take hold of this, work becomes an exciting prospect, an
opportunity to be used by God to save and transform lost souls and to show God my love by doing my work well. Thinking of work this way makes going to work an adventure and a joy, not merely a tedious, exhausting labour.
Colossians 3:23-24
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
