I Hate My Job: A 7-Day Devotional Guide for Christian Working WomenSample

Matthew 6:25 - Therefore I tell you: Don't worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Application: I can't think of anything that can make me spin more than work. If I don't keep this tendency in check, I will fret and lose sleep as I relentlessly rehash conversations. I wonder if I'm compensated fairly, what my next title will be, and what will await me when I arrive tomorrow. The list is endless. However, Jesus commands us to do the opposite: Do. Not. Worry. If we genuinely believe this and choose to respond accordingly, we experience freedom and the development of healthy boundaries that will set us free. Take comfort in Jesus' light burden and His complete knowledge of your days. Surrender to this and seek Him first – and always.

Prayer Suggestion:

1. Make a list of worries you experience related to your work.
2. Refer to the Serenity Prayer, and prayerfully consider which items you can change and which you cannot.
3. Ask God for His guidance as you move towards change, and face surrender where you are helpless.
