For A New Job

[OnlySunshine]

I spoke to a priest in Confession on Saturday explaining that I was having difficulty letting go of the previous job experiences and I felt that I wasn't doing my best to find gainful employment because of my fears and concerns. In my heart, I want more than anything to go back to work because it made me feel like I was making a positive contribution, but I'm held back by anxiety and fear that the same thing will happen again. My heart broke when I lost my previous job because it was one that I tried really hard at, but I know it was not meant to be because of the criticism I faced. God showed me that I didn't belong there because of their indifferent attitudes towards my concerns about the working environment.

More than anything, I need to trust God in my quest for another job. If He led me to this, I know there is something out there that He has planned for me. I don't want to miss it by sitting around and dwelling on the past. It causes unnecessary stress when I know I can't change anything that happened. I need to move on.

I sent out a few resumes last night to some childcare centers, but I am still searching on craigslist and other websites for local opportunities. Please pray that I find a job that will bring me closer in my relationship to Christ and not cause me any unnecessary pain or anxiety. Thanks.
