Tough Bosses vs God’s Strength

But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48

Hello from the breathtaking Colorado Rocky Mountains! It might sound surprising, but I have a habit of praying around the clock! Still, I sometimes find expressing my thoughts in public prayers challenging.

What do I pray for throughout my day?  I lift my children, their fathers, my husband, my in-laws, family, friends, the world’s problems, and even those who may not have always been kind before God. I ask for His protection over my kids and wisdom to fill their hearts. My prayers truly reflect my personal journey and the lessons I’ve learned. 

Last week, I shared about a young woman facing challenges at work. She feels overwhelmed as if she’s the only one dealing with a tough boss. This situation weighs her down, making it hard for her to find peace and hear God amid the chaos. My heart goes out to her for many reasons. Let’s join in prayer together about tough bosses!

PRAYER

Father God, I am grateful for Your endless love surrounding me and Your wonderful creations. With a thankful heart, I pray for those experiencing feelings of defeat under the pressures of a boss.  I submit their struggles before Your Throne of Grace, placing my trust in Your ability to transform their challenges. I also kindly ask that You surround them with Your peace and grant them the strength to overcome any obstacles they encounter. May the Holy Spirit guide them during times of uncertainty, helping them find strength through prayer in their most arduous moments and making them victorious. Amen.

The Prayer’s of Black Women

to proclaim the year of the LORD’S favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,

Isa 61:2 NIV

There are times in life when we must say farewell to the old and accept the new. For me it was saying good-bye to my mom and accepting the new norm of truly living life without her. Everyday since her death she’s in my thoughts. Some are fleeting and others linger; but, living without her has its challenges and strangely enough its rewards. With the coming new year I give myself high hopes as her personal representative to give her a strong finish. Her life demands that! As my life beckons me to return and continue to move forwards in all that I started before her life needs interrupted my journey. Let’s pray!
