[__ Prayer __] my job vs retirement (God's plan)

HI, I got myself into a tizzy over something at work and put in for retirement at my job. It will still work out since I can do it, but I do wonder if I should not have done that. So, the prayer is, if it fits in with the Lord's plan, may the Lord motivate them to allow me to come back. If so, I'll follow his plan even though I don't 'really' want to go back, but will if should be done.
 
Update: well they did ask me to come back as a temp for a special project, so it sounds like they will take me back. In regards to the concern I gave them when retiring, they gave me the "its a temporary thing". So i'm a little confused and mad they still don't get it, but maybe i can put Retirement off for about 8 months or so. So, I'll have to go back to the Lord to see what he is indicating. I just wish they'd give me the increase I think I need for the extra work and be done with this. So thanks all for prayers so far. I'll be ok either way.

I pray for the Spirit’s guidance in your life.

When we do something our whole life and then we decide to “retire” there are many issues we may face.

You identity can be attached to what you have done at your work in which an emotional bond is there.


Usually it takes a lifetime to prepare for what God has for us to do for Him.


Be blessed.

Update Nov 19th: There is no indication that I will be approached by them with an official offer to stay, so, I would say it looks like Retirement (that i declared for Dec 23rd) for me, which will be healthy and much needed. If I hear otherwise, I'll let this forum know. Thanks for all the prayers. I ran all the scenarios and there didn't seem much to gain by staying anyway, but I thought about it - perhaps because I was there for 13 years and I was just emotionally attached to it. But I have a concordance now and will start up my daily studies in about a month and a half as I will have plenty of time to do so.
