Growing In Resilience: A Prayer Journey

DAY 28 OF 40

Energy Drain: Resentment

Ask God to enable you let go of any resentment and to serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people.

A key factor in stress is the resentment we feel when we are required to do something that ‘isn’t our job’, be it washing other people’s coffee mugs, making good their mistakes, or putting in extra effort to cover for ineffective colleagues.

Resentment can also develop when a job that is ‘ours’ takes far more time and effort than originally envisaged. 

Whilst it may be appropriate to challenge these situations, we also have the opportunity to view this work as an act of service offered to the Lord, knowing that Christ sees what may go unnoticed by others.

About this Plan

Growing In Resilience: A Prayer Journey

Whether confronted with difficult life events or extended periods of pressure, resilience helps us to emerge stronger, wiser, and with a deeper faith. Yet such resilience is not automatic – it involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that are learned and practised over time. This 40-day prayer journey helps us develop practices to grow that resilience.
