CAN I QUIT MY JOB?

 

HAND EMBROIDERY PROJECT
by Marsha

Lord, I want to quit this job! I have reached a point in life in which doing things that go against my personality are an offense, resulting in a lack of peace in my soul. I get joy out of helping people and getting paid to help people is a good thing. Unfortunately, getting paid by a corporation whose god is financial profit, that is most corporations, has become counter-productive because in their desire to make the company more efficient, which leads to bigger profit, they have initiated micro-management tools that put a time limit on my personality.

I can do my job but I need to do it faster. I can do my job but I have to use pre-approved terminology and not sincere words that come from my heart. I have to get the job done and ignore the emotional pain that the person I am talking to is going through, no words of empathy, though “they” want me to sound empathetic based on the scripts provided. I am struggling to do the job I need to do because I was not created to be robotic.

But I have financial obligations, so I work. Two Bible verses come to mind:

Philippians 4:19 KJV
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

Matthew 7:7-8 KJV
7  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

In my mind I know that God does supply what I need and He does give me things that I ask, if it is according to “His glory”. Romans 8: 28 qualifies my request: it should be according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28 KJV)
28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I am at a point in which I can fulfil my job description and I can do silent prayers for people occasionally but I cannot go off script and share what God has put on my heart because the system prompts me, this system listens to my calls and reads my chats; this system is Ai driven. I am being regulated by a sophisticated computer system? Yes!

Father God knows what I need and it is written that He will supply what I need.  Jesus said: If I ask I will receive. I have a fear of not being able to pay my bills and this is what stops me from quitting my job. But the word of God reminds me and this I should know: all things, not some things, work together for good, yes, I love God and I am called to write, not do taxes. 

Yes, it is time for me to stop doing what I do, working for a tax corporation. I need to prepare for my exit. God will show me how and when.  Lord help my unbelief. (Mark 9:24)
