I Hate My Job: A 7-Day Devotional Guide for Christian Working Womenনমুনা

Philippians 1:9-11 – And I pray that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, so that you may approve the things that are superior and may be pure and blameless in the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

Application: We've spent this week in prayer and meditation over the workplace, and I pray that it's been a week of the Holy Spirit transforming and equipping your soul for good work. It is easy to fall into "that which does not satisfy" (Isaiah 55:2) when our idols take over. Our joy will never be found in the most innovative team, the sharpest clothes, or challenging work. The only pure and unadulterated joy in this world is in Jesus Christ, who claims us as his own and is jealous of our affection. Find courage in this truth, "Take up the full armor of God" (Ephesians 6:13), and joyfully fight the good fight in your workplace. You're the perfect fit for the job.

Prayer Suggestion: Meditate on or write down ways the week went differently than you had anticipated. What was good? What was hard? How did your perspective change based on working through this process and bringing the challenges to God? Depending on these answers, express gratitude to our amazing God and pray for perseverance.
