I could really use prayer right now on a couple of things.

Ever since I began working at my current job my manager has acted very oppressive towards me, showing favoritism towards other coworkers over me, withholding information from me, refusing to treat me as someone who deserves to have basic rights and I feel she has been collecting information over the past few months about me that is untrue/ has been tarnishing my character.

Please pray that God will open up a new line of work for me, with better conditions and pay
Or that he will settle this woman's act and that the Lord will give me what I need so I can be efficient and move on with my life. Guiltless and independent.
I have been respectful, and helpful in the best ways that I can be, and still am and I really don't want to give her any sort of liberty to terminate me for what I have been doing was above and beyond what I could have even imagined to do.
I have been thorough, consistent (in the ways that Lord has allowed me to be), and most of all loyal.

I just feel like no matter what I do, or when I try to get moving in my life, someone decides to withhold the keys from me and I'm tired of being in this place where I am not able to be where I can be.

I have been experiencing spiritual attacks all over the place, (not very intense, but still significant where they are interfering in my life) and I feel kind of bitter in a way towards other Christians who are experiencing better outcomes than I am. I really want to get out of this holding cell so I can experience life more.

And I feel like a loser in a thousand ways imaginable because I'm not a part of the 'Clique.'


Thank you.

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

John 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 12:25
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.


I'm always a little suspicious of Christians who are having too good a time in this world.

Yeah I am too.
And I don't understand why the world would listen to them or congratulate them.
I'm beginning to think it has something to do with how the environment changes when true believers are increasing in one area, whether at school, at work, or wherever you are. The world feels like they can open up their hearts to talk about their struggles with believing in God and Christianity in general. But those who are obstinate will just continue as they are.
I've seen that I can't really judge what's on people's hearts.
I don't think its my business.

And when I'm talking about congratulating or a worldly person giving Christian praise, I believe it has everything to do with God finally giving that person what they deserve for their hard work.
Prayer helps believer to believer and sometimes success comes along with that.

You're right that you shouldn't judge what is in people's hearts. But with the Spirit's help, you will learn to discern it.

God bless!

Some times it does. But I think Jesus taught that most of us would see tribulation, and that even those who do well in this world will loose it or Him. Don't envy them, and don't strive to be like them. As a Christian you can store up riches here, or you can store up riches in heaven, but there's no a single dollar shared between the two. True prosperity comes to those who don't seek it. And whether you're prosperous or not, if you don't give it all to God anyway it's all for naught.

Father,

grant this sister discernment and grace in this situation, remind her that we stand in favour with You in all things because of the blood of Christ which was shed for us on the cross. I thank You for this Perfect work that Christ has done, that we may be righteous and whole in Your eyes through Christ Jesus.

Give her peace and understanding that she may be a shining light in the dark places, raise your countenance over her circumstance that she may glorify your name. Remove in us, the human frailties of pettiness and self-righteousness, give us humility to remember that while we were sinners, Christ died for all of us, unworthy as we all are.

I pray this in Jesus name,

Amen
