“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.”
Romans 8:28 AMP
Have you ever made a mistake at work or simply found yourself in a predicament that you felt you had no way out of? Then you should read this blog. When a woman shared her testimony during Next Level Prayers with Pastor Bolaji, she mentioned how God kept her from getting into trouble. She was about to sign something that would have cost her her job and that made me reflect on the fact that everyone will experience challenging circumstances at work, whether they identify as Christians or not. However, how you respond to these situations will reveal where you stand.
There are all sizes of mistakes. It might be as minor as typing something incorrectly in an email or as major as unintentionally signing the wrong document. It is crucial to be prayerful because as Christians, we are expected to have a discerning spirit to guide us in circumstances like these so that this might be prevented. While mistakes are occasionally unavoidable, as a Christian, what you do in these circumstances matters.
What Do You Do In These Situations
Philippians 4:6 says;
“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].”
Firstly, God says do not be worried or anxious- you have to remain calm and not be frightened.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””
Joshua 1:9 AMP
God then instructed you to pray about it- since prayer can transform circumstances for the better. Praying works! And if the error was unavoidably your fault, you can ask God for mercy.
“Then David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hands of man.””
2 Samuel 24:14 AMP
God is merciful and he will be with you no matter where you go, so you can pray to him even at work. No problem is insurmountable, according to someone, and if you pray, God will give you the wisdom you need to overcome it. Depending on the circumstance, you may need to leave the scene and find a private place, such as the toilet, where you can pray to God alone. God will then intervene.
Another option is to talk to a friend—but not just any friend—a Christian friend, particularly if the problem is very serious. Your circle of friends is crucial because you need people you can call on in these kinds of circumstances, who will pray with you and put their faith in God to solve your problems. When you have these folks nearby, you won't even need to visit your pastor; you won't need to visit a pastor all the time.
God promises that when you pray about it, you experience peace that is indescribable. People will ask why you are so peaceful about that issue; however, only you know what God has said and how He is at work in the background. He did not merely say peace; He said the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Finally, I'd want to mention the problems you encounter that were caused by individuals in an effort to cause trouble for you. Occasionally, the devil will use those people to try and frustrate you, but do not worry—just take it to your judge, and you will win the case and experience victory.
“For the Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Ruler, The Lord is our King; He will save us.”
Isaiah 33:22 AMP
Let's Pray
When it seems there is no way out of a problem, may our heavenly Father rescue us. Amen
Shalom!
There is really an unexplainable peace that God gives even in the storm . The sleeping Jesus peace 😂😂
