I am seeking prayers to help me do a better job at work. I am blessed to have a good paying job with nice people and lots of flexibility.

The problem is that my heart is not in the work. I have been suffering from depression and have been nearly unable to get anything done. If I were the boss, I believe I would have fired me. My husband does not want me to quit/retire, so I am stuck.

Please pray that I can find the motivation to provide adequate value to my good employer.

I will pray for all those who do not have the good jobs they seek.

Thank you!
 
I have much the same situation, including the depression.
A lack of motivation to like the job is a huge problem for me.
Depression also affects the memory, especially the short term kind.

To help solve things,
I have coped by having a list as a note on my desktop (computer) at work. When I log in, that is the first thing I see.
The list is of the ‘jobs’ I need to get done.
It is also more private than just a note laying on my desk.

A second list is of daily task items which get checked off as I work.
It is then refreshed for the next day by copying from a hard copy and reposing to the note before I log out that evening.

I used to use the task list in outlook, but that was not as visible for me.
Since I have two screens, the note list is better for keeping my sense of accomplishment.

Medication has helped, but some days these lists and realizing that I do get work done is the only way I can cope.
My job is full of intrinsic value to the company, but most days it is not enough.

Thanks for asking. you have reminded me that I’m not alone.
I’ll put our name on the daily list for prayers.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
In my battle with depression, I have found many ways to get around it. You sound like you are very grateful to have a job! That is great awareness. Sometimes, we get so caught up in thinking of all the negative things, it’s hard to notice 🙂

Find the healing grace of receiving the Holy Eucharist as often as you are able to. Second, go to confession and receive the healing from Our Lord. Third, go to the adoration chapel as often as possible. Daily Rosary.

Other practical solutions, get more sunshine at least 20 minutes a day or a lamp. It has been proven that we need to get sun daily. Exercise as much as possible. Start a gratitude journal at work for all the positive things that you notice as you go about your day. If it is truly a challenge, offer up any/all sufferings for the conversion of your family and/or friends. You will feel that you are helping others as well as yourself .👍

As a final tip, I found this book extremely helpful in my own journey 🙂

Father please bless her all the graces of thought and act that she needs to live with energy and enthusiasm.

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy,
Lord have mercy.
 
Praying for you
i know how it feels.

For EEgirl.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
I pray that you find the answer to your problems by calling upon the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and through the faithful recitation of the holy rosary. May you turn to Mother Mary and receive her powerful help.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
