Work & Vocation

I dread going to work every single morning. Is that God telling me to change something, or am I just after an easier life?

I am stuck in a job I hate while I look for something else, and I know my attitude there has gone bad. How do I work well anyway?

Would God actually ask me to stay in work I genuinely do not like? Part of me thinks I am meant to endure it and part of me thinks that cannot be right.

My work feels completely ordinary and pointless. Does what I do all day actually matter to God, or is it just paying the bills?

My boss speaks to me rudely and I keep swallowing my anger. How do I show real love to someone who treats me like that?

My colleagues treat me badly and nothing ever changes. How do I keep forgiving when it just keeps happening?

I take offence far too easily at work. Small comments from colleagues stay with me for days. How do I stop letting them get under my skin?

I think I have made my job far too important. It is the first thing I think about and the last. How do I loosen its grip on me?

I am completely burnt out. I still turn up and do the work, but there is nothing left in me. How do I recover?

My job gets my best hours and my family gets whatever is left over. How do I get the balance back without losing my income?

I never really stop. Even on Sundays my head is at work. Do I actually need a day of rest, and what would taking one look like?

Since coming to faith I have lost my drive at work, and I am not sure that is a good thing. How do I hold faith and ambition together?

The people above me cut corners and expect me to go along with it. How do I stay honest without making myself a target?

I want my faith to show at work, but I do not want to be the person who preaches at everyone. What does that actually look like day to day?

I lost my job and the bills are still coming. I am frightened I will not be able to provide for myself. What do I do with the worry?

I have been out of work for months and the search is crawling along. How do I stay patient and keep trusting God with this?

I keep applying and keep getting rejected, and I am starting to think nothing will ever come of it. How do I stay encouraged?

I put things off at work until the panic forces me to start, and I hate working this way. How do I break the cycle?

If I am honest, I coast at work. I do the minimum and nobody has noticed yet. Does that actually matter?

My working days disappear and I reach five o'clock having finished nothing that mattered. How do I take back control of my time?

Someone else got the promotion I had worked for, and now I cannot stop comparing myself to my colleagues. How do I deal with this?

I have just been put in charge of a team and I am out of my depth. How do I lead people well?

I want to start my own business but the risk terrifies me. How do I tell whether this is wisdom or recklessness?

I have just finished studying and I have no idea what job to go for. Everyone else seems to have a plan and I do not.

Parts of my job sit badly with me. I do not know whether to push back, live with it, or leave. How do I decide?

I have retired and I feel useless. Work gave me a reason to get up, and now the days just feel empty.

I work and I feel guilty about it. I keep hearing that I should be at home more with my children. How am I meant to think about this?

My manager is not good at the job and I struggle to respect them. How am I supposed to submit to someone like that?
