This is not my first post about this issue, so I beg your patience. I’m having big problems at work right now and could use some prayers. I’ve only been on the job for three months, and management keeps throwing more work and special projects at me. The pace is a little too fast for me to keep up. I feel like I’m dropping the ball in certain respects, making mistakes, asking dumb questions, etc. It is a stressful situation for me. Although I’m grateful for having a job when so many people are out of work, I still could use some prayers to help me through this tough period. Thank you to everyone.

Jerry, hang in there! Usually, when management gives you more and more work it is because they are pleased with your work and you have earned a measure of respect from them. Those things lean toward job security, if there is such a thing. (really, not, but someone else would be picked to go before you if it came down to it.)

From a spiritual standpoint, it’s something to offer up in reparation for sins. Redemptive suffering is the term I’m thinking about here.
 
May the Lord give you strength, peace, patience and courage. May you offer up your sufferings united to Our Lord’s on the cross and closely unite yourself to Our Lord and Lady throughout your work day. May Our Lord and Lady come to your assistance and have mercy on you.

Lord, please grant Jerry all the graces he/she needs to persevere in a state of grace and to keep faithful to his daily duties. Grant him deep peace and deep faith. May he have great confidence in you to help him get through his hectic work days. May he be abandoned to your merciful love with total trust in you. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Thank you both for your prayers. It means so much to me to know that someone is praying for me through my difficulties.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said,
“Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”
With confidence in Your loving heart
which offers rest to weary souls,
we come to You in this time of special need.
In Your unfailing love,
read the prayer that is written on our hearts,
and grant the grace that we ask of You,
in accordance with Your holy will.
In Your name we pray.
Amen.
 
May our Heavenly Father look with favor on you and grant you peace of mind and heart. Amen.
 
I am praying for you and I agree, if management is giving you more work, they must be pleased with your accomplishments so far.

I will pray that you be successful in this job. When things become overwhelming, ask your manager to help you prioritize the things on your plate. You will show them that you are committed to getting everything done.

I pray that God will be with you each day at work.
