# See your workplace as your mission field [IMAGE CONTENT] See your workplace as your mission field. Jesus has the power and strategy to help you turn your career into a calling. I’ll never forget the travail that I felt in seeking the will of God for my life. It almost became an obsession. Should I pursue professional ice hockey, business like my father, counseling, or full-time ministry? I’ve got to admit I was frustrated. Why wasn’t God telling me what to do? Have you ever felt this frustration and uncertainty? Are you waiting for an angelic visitation, writing on the wall, or a loud voice? As a counselor, I can tell you that these feelings and questions are common. So let me give you five insights to help you answer this dilemma: 1. There is no division between a spiritual career and a calling. Your personal career could and should become a calling from heaven. 2. God has uniquely qualified you to do something and enjoy it. What do you love to do? Can you make a living doing it? 3. Careers and callings from God should be the same. Jesus prayed one prayer to the Father: “‘ Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. ’” (Matthew 6:10, NIV) Christians should see their careers as their methods of bringing heaven to Earth. 4. Christians are called to bring excellence and effort into the workplace. “ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. ” (Colossians 3:23, NIV) 5. God has designed you to love a career and do well at it. He’ll let you choose a career so you can shine like a bright light and flourish. I encourage you to see the workplace as a mission field—your mission field. The workplace may not seem spiritual, but it requires a focused person led by the Holy Spirit to succeed at it. You can shine anywhere because you are a miracle. Your friend, Paul Marc Goulet
