God, you are so generous.
You provided, just as you promised.
You said, "I will supply all your needs
out of my vast store of wealth in heaven."
I believed this, and now I've seen you
prove it, first hand.
I asked for a job and you gave one!
I am so grateful.
These are hard times for many people.
I dont take this gift lightly.
I believe I will be a blessing
to my new employer;
they certainly will be a
blessing to me and my family.
I am honored with this trust!
Thank you ! Thank you!
Now I ask for wisdom. I have employment;
I need strength and endurance to DO
the job I have been assigned.
Honestly, today I feel over my head.
I have so much to learn,
so many people to get to know,
so many policies to master,
so many new paths to walk, and
seemingly all at the same time.
The stress of "too much work."
I need your help.
You have promised, in James 1,
that I can ask for wisdom and
you will give it.
This is for me!
Please grant me wisdom, today.
I am not smart enough
to handle my new duties.
I need insight, emotional strength,
guidance with time management,
empathy in relationships,
creativity to solve challenges,
and most of all joy when I feel
overwhelmed by the expectations
others are placing on me,
and expectations I am placing on myself.
Thank you for providing this new job.
Now please give me
what all I need to master it.
I ask knowing that you hear and care.
You have given provision;
you wont leave me to do it alone.
Even as I pray this,
I believe you are already
answering my request.
Thank you for wisdom!
I pray this in Jesus's great name!
