Its a worthy read,
There are so many factors that can make going to work difficult: an unfair boss or a high-stress environment, too many long-hour days, a schedule that’s opposite of family and friends. Maybe you’re struggling with the job itself — feeling unqualified, overqualified, or just plain uninterested. If you hate going to work, then, at some point you’ve probably asked: why am I here? or how can I get out?
Let’s tackle the first question: why are you in this job?
God has you there for a reason, but what could it be? Here are a few possibilities:
To bring you closer to Him. When work is going well, it can be tempting to drift away — to hope in our circumstances and think we have it all under control. But, when something goes wrong, the discomfort reminds us of our need for God, and, thankfully, he is always there waiting. Lean into God today. Spend time in his Word and listen for how he wants you to respond. He may not change your job, but he promises to walk with you through it. (see Isaiah 43:2 NLT)
To grow your character. Difficult circumstances are frustrating and confusing, and they can sometimes feel meaningless. But the Bible says: We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. Romans 5:3–4 NLT
In every trial, God wants to refine you — to remove sin from your life and transform you into the image of his Son (see Romans 8:29 NLT). Wherever you are right now, ask God to show you the best way forward. Does He want you to speak up and ask your supervisor for help? To encourage co-workers who are also struggling? To work hard even when you’re treated unfairly? Follow Christ’s example and let your co-workers see more of Him in you.
To change your perspective. Remember when you were a kid and the days felt really long? And, as you got older, weeks, months, and even years began to fly by? The same is true when you compare your life to eternity. James says, How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog — it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. Everything you see is temporary, but as a child of God, you have hope beyond the here and now (see Romans 8:23–24 NLT). Focus on eternity and it will change the way you see your work today.
Now, let’s take a look at the second question: how can you get out?
If God is calling you to make a change, ask him to open the door and give you the courage to walk through it. Maybe he’s nudging you to apply for a different job, go back to school, stay home with the kids, or spend a year in ministry. These are all great options — but, before you make a big decision…
Seek wise counsel. The Bible says, If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5 NIV And, Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:22 NIV Pray for guidance and share your ideas with a few wise friends. Then, ask yourself, Am I hearing the same thing from multiple people? How does this compare with what God is saying?
Consider your motives. God’s Word is alive and active, and it brings our innermost thoughts and desires to light. (see Hebrews 4:12–13 NLT) As you read Scripture, listen for what he’s revealing to you. His answer may not seem like the best option, but it always is. Remember Jonah, and let his story encourage you to say “yes” to God even when his plans don’t agree with yours.
Give it time. With return and cancellation policies, we can change our minds often. But, when it comes to leaving a job, going back isn’t always an option. Before you put in your two-weeks notice, consider who will be impacted. If you have a spouse and kids, involve them in the process, and remember that obeying God is always your first priority. Spend as much time as possible seeking his will. He may be calling you to go, but sometimes his answer is be still and wait. (see Psalm 37:7 NLT)
No matter how miserable you feel today, God is with you. Bring all of your questions, worries, and frustrations to him and trust that, even though it doesn’t always make sense, he is working for your good, and he will finish what he started. (see 1 Peter 5:8–10 NLT, 1 Thessalonians 5:23–24 NLT)
