[__ Prayer __] I need your prayer.... This is for a new job

[honestjeenn]

[FONT=&quot]Don't know how to open up things but, I am.... Sigh. Don't want to even work anymore in my current company.

The line of the job is receiving an adult emails and we are responding to it... I hate myself of doing this but I don't have any choice.. I was jobless for about 6 months before and no source of income and been asking for churches to give me an online assignments last year, but I have no luck... Life is hard and I can't live anymore without the help of my sisters. I don't even want to depend to them so I tried finding another job after working in KGB_, a text service company. Right now, yes I am working but I am not at ease and comfortable with this... Thing is, I don't have any choice. Why can't work outside? I mean in the offices and just home based? I have back pains and I needed to at least rest my back once in a while..

Asked some churches before but all they did is just to say "we'll pray for you, we"ll pray for you. Sometimes, it's just frustrating without doing some action to people when at least they can help those who are in need.

Guys, I'm begging, please if you know someone who needs a virtual assistant, with simple jobs online, please refer me... I just don't want to stay doing these things.. I mean talk dirty to our clients in the email in order for me to make money..

Hope you won't condemn me of having this kind of job... This is just for the sake of survival... I'm very sorry... Please pray and help me resolve my problem.[/FONT]

I've been thinking about this and am not really sure what advice to offer. I don't think it's in God's nature to ever put us in a position where sinning is really the only option (1 Corinthians 10:13). Also, the people who subscribe to that service need prayer as well because they are also poor, maybe not financially poor but spiritually poor http://www.christianforums.net/showthread.php?t=48656&p=740654&viewfull=1#post740654, which the Bible would say is worse (Proverbs 13:7; Proverbs 19:1; Proverbs 28:6; Mark 8:36), and maybe you could pray for each of them you hear from. Here's something I found tonight about moral dilemmas about jobs: http://www.notesfromtoadhall.com/articledetail.asp?AID=127&B=Daniel M. Doriani&TID=7

Dear Christianjeenn, I will certainly not criticize something God has given you. Seemingly others did not come knocking at your door offering great wealth or you would not have taken the job you have. And then how are we to work for those who employ us?

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. If you have a wicked boss, work for him as doing it unto the Lord. I have a dear brother in the Lord who is a bible teacher that became a pilot for a major airline against great odds. After some years they began openly supporting gay rights, and their parades, etc. I asked him what he thought of that and he said that's really something, isn't it. Did he quit? No and he led many to the Lord before he retired as a full captain. But God gave him that position and he did his best just as if He was serving the Lord in the manner he worked for them.

If God wants you to change jobs He will do it for you. I'm in no way saying you shouldn't seek employment elsewhere that you would like better, but just thank God for what He is doing in you, and through you at this very time.

Blessings in Christ Jesus

Dear Father, I do pray for Christianjeenn to have a job that will fully support her, and to be one that takes into consideration her health. Thinking of that please also heal her back and give her the will to grow in grace and knowledge of You that will build her faith to believe You for her deliverance. Have Your perfect will to be done in her life that prospers her to having Your best even as her soul prospers. Thank You Father and I praise You for hearing and acting in her life to want Your best, and I do ask for this in Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Let me share you my testimony. Find jobs also weren’t an easy task for me. I might able to encouraged myself to keep on discovering the bible, but I am truly weak and lack of confidence to maintain my perspective in work. With doubts, I am shivering and mindless when I prepare myself in career, keep on bothering career that will filled most of my daily life would becoming an obstacle in my faith to God; on the other hand, I keep on worrying my attitude on pertaining my daily spiritual bread may not likely please God because I had not earn for my living and to help the others. Every day, I exhausted myself when I kept on interview but cannot found a stable work for myself. I told God I were really troubled and I had set apart the time to read bible in seeking jobs online, I tell Him I wish this condition could reached an end. God didn’t answered me, several day passed until an early morning when I prepared myself for an interview, I prayed to God, and it wasn’t like the past few days I was not able to gain power in prayer, He did answered me with an ease feeling went through me, I am really happy about this, the power laid upon me and I was able to consistently and humbly pray to God, and I said to God I really need this work and I don’t want to fail anymore. I prayed although without being answered, I was very encouraged by God’s giving in power of prayer and with some worries I wish the journey will be smooth for me that day. While things come out another way, I was late in the interview; during the test I weren’t much ethical and I get really upset because of the committing of sin; while during the interview, my voice wasn’t smooth and my response is weak, I listened about the technical information earlier but I was not prepared and not reminded to use any of it in my interview when I were asked. When I went out the interview room, I was very discouraged and I walked to the exit door, thinking to end it, but suddenly the staff called me and said it was not the time to leave, I felt the concern from the employer environment, I become thankful to God and once become confidence, then I walked back with my heart. Then, it weren’t what I expected, the staff said I am selected; I actually doubting myself whether I am competent for the work. During the tests, I make a lot of mistakes and weren’t able to give good response, but through my weakness, I felt the need to be dependant to God all these time and after in the work.


I did pray for you, and I truly know from experience in such condition, every moment really hurts our conscience and confidence to God, hope that you can find yourself a suitable condition prepared by God.
