Prayer Request

The last couple of months have been very tough for me; more specifically regarding my job, and role as an assistant store manager.

It has been very difficult working in a negative environment where all of my coworkers are atheist or non-belivers. I constantly have to deal with rude comments and remarks because I am a follower of Christ. I get cursed out, talked about, disrespected, and my employees will not even listen to me. I did nothing to deserve this. Things have really gotten out of control; My employees pretty much do what they want to do, and there is nothing i can do about it. It's gotten to the point that I just want to quit my job. I don't even eat my lunch any more because I am afraid that someone will try to poison me. I have anxiety attacks constantly throughout the day, when I use to only have them one or twice a day at most. Some of the music and videos that my employees watch and listen to are so disturbing that it causes more anxiety. I feel like being at this job has ruined my life. I feel like I made a huge mistaking accepting this job offer. I just want to move on to a better opportunity, but I feel like God has called me here to preach the gospel. Last week I started talking to employees about coming to bible study with me, but all I got were excuses and negative remarks. I am not even sure if this is the right place to try to lead people to Christ.

Father, tonight I pray for strength, endurance, stamina, courage, and patients. I want to help others by sharing the gospel but I can not do this alone. I pray for God to show his presence in this work place. Father, I pray that you soften the hearts of my employees, and help me lead them to Christ. Father please give me the wisdom and knowledge to prove without a doubt that you do exist to people who are not receptive. I pray that each employee will be open to at least giving you a chance. I pray for a turnaround in my work environment, and that I get the treatment, recognition, and respect that I deserve. If this is the place you want me to be, please give me the patients to deal with how I am treated at work. Please help me maintain my self control, and positivity even under pressure. Lord, please help me maintain my positive attitude, composure, and stay focused on you and your promises throughout the day. Father please guide me, and help me make the right decision. I pray In Jesus name AMAN!
