  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Job Security

I have a prayer request.. I feel I do a decent job at work, I know I need improvements in some areas, and I am working on this. I get mixed reviews though. My supervisor told me last week that I'm a good employee and they're glad to have me working here, but I get a call from the boss today criticizing my work. I'm really stressed now. I mean I'm not going to stay here long, but I am going to start going to a $20k/year school and I need this job to pay through school & my car/insurance payments also. I need to understand that God won't ever give me anything I won't handle, but I guess my prayer request is that I improve in my job and have more security & also that I have more faith in situations like this. I usually study for school during my lunch hour, but I couldn't do that today because I'm was so shook up at the thought of losing my job :cry:

Okay, I have sent up a pray for you...Remember God is in control, turn your job over to HIM and let HIM lead you in it. I am a Vice President at a local bank and the the President of the bank is really high on me and there is a tremendous amount of security in my job, but he still has to point out some of my weaknesses and correct me sometimes, not to the bad, but to help me grow in my position. I don't know in what manner your supervisor critized you, but it could be he is trying to help you. Anyway I hope I didn't cross the line, just trying to give you some practical help.

Saying a prayer for you now. :pray:

Something to keep in mind is that sometimes a boss is most critical of their best employees. Best thing to do in this type of situation is listen to what they say, and try to improve in whatever area they mentioned you need to. If a boss sees that you're willing to change the way you do something so it will be more to their specifications then they consider that a huge benifit in having you as an employee.

Father, I praying for this request, Show this person a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to this person’s spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace, where there is stress release your peace. Bless this person in the ‘working aria’ and financially In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
