Prayer Request

[waiter]

Hi,
I have a very big prayer request on my behalf.I need to give just a bit of background first to give understanding.Have been a believer for many years. In the last year God has really set me free to understand how to walk with him and stay in his presence. This is the biggest thing he has every done for me apart from saving me.I was led into an understanding of how to give him my will and continue doing it. Over the years I have never settled in a job for a long time.I have worked, but have never seem to have found something I feel suits me. This has become a big thorn recently.The job I am in may not work out, and of course there is the huge issue of security and provision looming.My pride is also really feeling it, and I amwondering why I can't get this right.There are many things I have done wrong and been wrong in in the past. God has given me the desire and understanding of how to keep my heart clean. I believe in work I have done many things wrong and am feeling the fruit of that now.I have changed my life in the biggest thing, my relationship with him, but feel this work thing is sinking me. I feel like Samson when he killed a thousand enemies and then was about to die of thirst: Lord, thou hast given they servant this great deliverance and now shall I perish for thirst?
My life has truly changed, but this thing feels like a huge weight that is crushing me.I am in a very difficult spot.I can't express how difficult this thing is for me.What the Lord has showed about relationship with me, I will not lose, but this is the next thing that really needs to be broken open in my life for me to experience release in. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and prayer.

Since you seem to bounce around from job to job, have you ever taken any tests to find the areas in which you are proficient and have the greatest passion? Will certainly pray for you.

Hi Lynn,
I should clarify a bit. My last job was for 7 years so it hasn't quite been a bouncey bounce thing. However, I have not got myself a trade or designation, which I realize now was a mistake on my part.The present job is going 2 years but I'm not seeing it going anywhere right now as it is sales and you either sell or have to find something else.It's an area of my life that feels a lot like my spiritual walk was prior to last fall. I did not seem to know how to find what worked for me personally, and I feel that way workwise.My lack of knowing how to walk with Jesus over the years affected my decisions and paths I took. I realize that now. If I had understood what I understand now about walking with the Lord my life choices would have been drastically different. That's not the case, and I am now dealing with that. What I claim to have found in the Lord is still very real to me, and i realize I am seeing late if you will, but I am nonetheless seeing and am very thankful to God for that. I guess I am now asking for his help in this area of my life the same as the heart issue with him thru the years.That may help you understand a bit better where I'm coming from. I need personal satisfaction in this area just as I did in my daily hourly thing with the Lord, and I guess I am sorting this out as i did the other. i want change because I desire all of my life to be for his glory and I don't believe he wants me to live without direction and purpose when it comes to work. It's an old problem and has been there all my life, so it seems a bit overwhelming when one finally and truly wants real change.
Thank you Mouse and Xenia for your support in prayer, I appreciate it very much.
