GOD'S PROMISES - FAITH NOT FEAR

You may be asking God for a new job. You are ready to move on from your present job. You are tired of the type of work you are doing and the unfair treatment that you receive on your job. You want to move into a different profession because you feel stuck in your current job and cannot move up.

You want what God has for you and you want to make sure you are moving in His perfect timing. As much as you are ready to move on you don't want to move at the wrong time or for the wrong position.

After constant prayer and interviewing, you are hired for a position that seems like the answer to your prayers. You are excited, you give your current job the proper notice and now you are just waiting to begin the new job. 

Now comes the hard part. Suddenly fear creeps in, "what if something goes wrong", "what if I am making a mistake", etc., etc., etc.

God does not want you to live in fear. Even though some moves that we make can be scary, God wants us to walk in faith and trust and believe that He will help us through all of those scary times. As long as we are willing to live according to God's will for our lives, He will give us the faith to see us through all our fears.

GOD'S PROMISES - SOUNDING BOARD

It can be very difficult to be a sounding board to someone who is having problems and needs to vent. 

People who are going through difficult situations have a tendency to go on and on about it. It seems as though they have a one track mind and that is all that they can talk about.

You love the person and if you could you would change their situation with a snap of your fingers, but unfortunately there is nothing you can do to help them.

Pray and ask God to help you be that patient person that can lend an ear to listen as they vent. Sometimes it just helps them to know that someone who loves them will let them get their frustrations off their chest. Also, ask God to give you the right words of advice to offer that may help them through their difficulties.
