I put my job search in God's hands
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Was I nuts? Was I irresponsible? It was just weeks before my contract position would end and I’d be out of a job. They’d offered to keep me on, with a more impressive title and a larger salary, but I turned it down. It was essentially the same work I had done for the last two and half years, with more responsibility. But I didn’t enjoy the job. It was time for me to move on.
I was taking all the usual steps: I scanned the employment ads, filled out endless applications, and told everyone I knew that I was looking for a job. But to no avail. Was I discouraged? You bet.
I knew I had to pay the bills. So while I was taking all of these practical steps, I put my job search wholly in God’s hands. And even though I felt some trepidation, there it was going to stay.
