If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
James 1:5
We spend a lot of our lives at work or in a work environment. Whether that is inside or outside will depend on the type of work you do. Different jobs require different approaches and how you spend your time. You could be in an office with different types of people and personalities who affect your life in many ways.
These people may be in front of you or behind you for a promotion. You could be the boss or the employee. You could also be employed or self employed because of a particular artistic skill you naturally have or may have acquired.
You could be a painter, carpenter, artist, builder, driver, doctor, nurse or whatever your specific skill requires you to do. No matter the kind of work you do, there will be times you may be confronted with challenges.
In these times, you must remember that you are still under God’s protection and love. He still requires you to speak to Him all the time concerning your challenges because He is a loving father who wants to hear from you all the time.
It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.
Psalm 18:32
Problems at work can come in many shapes and forms. As mentioned earlier the kind of work you do will determine the kind of problems that you face. Whether you are waiting for a promotion, looking for better pay, having issues with your tools for work, or struggling with your health, the Lord wants to know about it.
If God is our heavenly father, then surely we must be able to talk to Him about all we go through. Even though He sees all and knows all, we must still talk to Him when we feel challenged. Remember it is not a crime to be human.
As humans, we do have our limitations. It is impossible to see all and know all. We cannot see what people are planning behind our backs. We do not know what traps have been set for us. We do not know what accidents await us as we leave our homes. We do not have control over many things that happen to us.
However, we have control over who we talk to about our problems. We should let the Lord in on our problems and listen for His answers when they come.

Talk to God about your job. Let Him know the issues there and what you are going through. Even though He knows exactly what you need, He still wants you to demonstrate your faith by telling Him your problems.
You telling God your problems means that you believe in Him to save you. He wants to help you overcome your fears and live a fulfilling life that brings glory to Him. Never underestimate praying for your work. It gives God the chance to correct the things you can’t control.
What is difficult for you is very easy for Him. This is why you must lay it all on Him. You were not meant to carry burdens so lay it at the feet of God and know that He will take care of it. Once you have prayed, begin to thank Him for answering your prayer. You will begin to see positive changes in your work.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
