work and family - Guest - 08-16-2010 05:44 PM
I recently took a new job which is far away from my home thinking it would be more peaceful and less strees than my old job. However i find that the long drive eats away at both my ability to do my new job well and the fact that i am so far away from my husband and young son. I feel I made the decision in haste but I am "stuck" so to speak with this job for at least a year. I really want my old job back but fear the opportunity won't present itself. Please help me acept this and cry less about being apart from my family. We are not financial able for me to quit my job. I need prayer for guidance and help in leading me down the right path to make better decisions in the future. One good aspect of this whole mess is that I've discovered that I do not want to do which is to enter an administrative/management position because that would lead me further away from family.

Father...sometimes when we make decisions we do so with the best of intentions only to discover that the outcome is much different than what we expected. However God has a plan for us...and everything according to his word comes together for good for those who love him. You have committed to this situation for one year...so now you have a choice..you can do your best, be productive and learn from the lesson with a joyful heart and a peaceful spirit...or you can continue on with tears and frustration which will carry over into the limited time you have with your family. While you may not be able to change the circumstances you can change how you go through them. Father help this woman to make a choice for joy and peace. And help her to know that a year is not so long at all as long as we effort to find contentment. The Apostle Paul said that we should find contentment in whatever state we are in...let it be so in this woman's life. In Jesus name...Amen!

Lord open the doors for this woman to be able to find work again near her home so she can be with her husband and son who need her by their side. Give her wisdom from now on not to be hectic, but to bring is all in prayers to you for guidance. Protect this family and marriage, also provide for all their needs. I pray in Jesus name.
