Here's the situation:

Last week I was offered a job at another company. My current employer made me a counter offer. I did not give myself enough time to think my decision over, and I ended up accepting my current employer's counter offer, but I almost instantly regretted it.

I work in IT. We use a certain specific set of tools at my company that I like well enough, but are not nearly so common as certain other tools. This other job would've given me work experience on more mainstream tools that I need. I am afraid that I'm in very real danger of getting stuck where I am without options to go elsewhere if I stay too long.

The company that offered me the position still seems open to accepting me, but I feel like I would be going back on my word with my current employer. I do not wish to leave on bad terms.

The fear and anxiety of either choice (the unknown if I go, fear of being stuck if I stay) is overwhelming me. I desperately need for God to guide me into the right decision, and give me the strength to deal with it, but I don't know what to do.

I'm hurting so much right now, and I desperately wish I could just re-do the last week.

Father GOD, as you know this man has given his word and as your child he is not to lie. Lord when we agree to work for someone if a time as not been set as to the duration of the word given please lead this child of yours in the way that is your will for him and does not reflect bad back on you his father. In Yeshua / Jesus Holy name I pray amen.
 
Wow how blessed are you to have the offer of two jobs to chose from - don't see this as a burden see it as a wonderful opportunity to really seek God and ask him where he wants you to be based. Write down the pros and cons of each job, thank God for this time and prayer over the situation.


Father God I thank you for jp811, for all that you have put in him, his talents and skills, help him to know what direction to take in this situation and help him to find peace in the choice that he makes. Lord I prayer that your will would be done. Amen
 
Praying in Jesus's name fpor you for all wisdom and peace as you make your choice.

God bless

jp, your words of desperation and sadness touch my momma heart! Over and over the Lord exhorts (encourages) us to not be afraid. I find this difficult to do at times as well.
You may take Him at His Word! His promises are Yes! and Amen! in Christ Jesus. He promises us again and again that He will never leave or forsake us, so we need not fear. He promised that if we commit our way to Him, He will direct us. He says if we ask for wisdom, He will gladly grant that request.He cannot lie, and He never changes. :)

Abba, I lift jp and his needs to You. I trust that You will giude him, and help him make this decision. I ask that You will ease this burden he now carries, and that You will use this time to teach Him more about your loving, wonderful Son, in Whose Name I make this request. Amen!

May you be greatly blessed in the way the Lord leads you,
