Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to help people for a living. I get the greatest joy and satisfaction from assisting others achieve great things. I am lost, Lord - professionally speaking. I finished up my degree and a new position became available here at my current place of employment. Long story short, I got the job, but the pay is not that much better. Don't get me wrong, more money is still more money. However, I did research for positions like this one and they low-balled me. :( I talked it over with my old boss here and she agreed.
I need Your guidance. What am I supposed to be doing with my professional life? What is your plan for me? It is difficult, but if I need to accept this chapter at this particular place of employment is over, I can and will do that. I just need Your guidance on where I should go. I pray you help me be open to Your guidance when You show it to me. I think I have a tendency to interfere with Your plan for me and always second guess myself. I pray you help me not to be so focused on the income either. I mean, please give me the confidence and knowledge to know what I am worth and do not let me sell myself short, but help me to realize money is only to help me and my family survive.
Help me to have complete faith that Your guidance will come and Your timing is always perfect. I pray I learn whatever lesson it is You need me to learn in this moment. I pray You help me lean on you and not try to lean on my own understanding. I am so anxious to get to work on what it is I am supposed to be doing I can hardly contain myself. Please help rid me of any and all anxiety. Please help me slow down and take it one day at a time.
I pray when You do show Your guidance that it is so amazingly crystal clear, there is no way for me to misinterpret what it is You are guiding me to do. ha ha ha :)
I recently heard in a small faith sharing group, when you pray for patience you get tribulation. I have prayed for a lot of patience and maybe you are giving me exactly what I am praying for. Also, maybe I should really think about what it is I am praying for. ha ha ha
Finally, I pray I am able to love as You love me - unconditionally. I pray I am Your light in the world. I pray You help me shine so brightly there is no darkness with me present.
Always Yours,
J
