Are You Worried about Losing Your Job?

Are you worried about losing your job? So many people are during these financially troubling times. I myself had a big scare today when the government contract I was working on was cancelled--out of the blue. As soon as I got word via email, I could feel a little panic attack coming on. My first thought was to check with the contract office to determine if there were any new contracts coming in that could benefit from my skills and abilities; my second thought was to call friends and my current circle-of-network contacts to let them know my status, and to find out if there were any openings with their companies. Sadly, my last thought was to cast my cares before a loving and gracious God. It only took a few moments, but in that brief moment of time I realized that no one could be of more assistance to me than God. When I turned to God, I received peace; and with that peace God blessed me with an email containing a new job opportunity with the same company.

My sister in Christ, I do not know what the future hold for me, you or this country, but you and I should feel blessed to know who holds the future.

Your Call to Order...
There is an old saying that I would like you to keep in mind whenever you are tempted to leave God out of whatever you are going through, it says, “Pray as if everything depended on God. Work as if everything depended upon you.”

All the steps I wanted to take to insure my continual employment were valid steps to take, but there was no need for me to take those steps alone when God was available to walk me through the process. God loves us, and wants the best for us. If you are worried about losing your job, cast your worries before a loving and gracious God.

Power Verses:

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:6-7).

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble (Matthew 6:34).
