Trusting God in a Hostile Work Environment (Darrin Patrick)

What if your faith could actually thrive in the hostile environment you call your job?

[gwendolynholsey]

Thank you for not removing this!!! I needed to hear this so much. I work in such a toxic environment. It is awful because the "boss" is supposed to be a Christian but she is the biggest issue. I asked God the question- what are you doing...I know He is going to answer

Let’s tell the truth: being honorable, working hard, having integrity gets you fired every time where politics is concerned. Those in authority don’t like these people because they feel intimidated, fearful of losing their own job. They are ruthless and evil and a job is a choice so pray for a right one-if one exists. If you abide in negativity with your boss and join the boys or girls club politically by not always doing the right thing in being honorable, you are included otherwise, forget it. I did everything the Lord commanded and won awards for my career and when that happened and it started getting attention, the boss gets rid of you and replaces you with their cousin. Let’s tell the truth: this world is not my home and we live amongst evil everyday. There is nothing left that you can do but pray for this world!

Just 3:32 minutes in, and I am in tears. I had no idea how much I needed to hear this from the pulpit, specifically from a person who looks like you. My heart has been broken for years and I didn’t even realize it until just now. 🙏🏽

I recently left my hostile work place and I will never ever ever put up with a toxic work environment. I prayed to God to protect me when I left my work place and to give me grace. I feel like ever since I left that work place, my blessings are coming through for me, I feel so blessed to be feeling God's love... which was something I felt so so far away from in that horrible work place.

I work in a horrible place. I get called out at meetings for what I'm doing wrong, slandered behind my back. I dread getting up in the morning. This helped a little bit. I have to work, so I'm stuck. I'm miserable and hating every minute of my day!

[laurasadler]

Wow... God is teaching me to lean and really trust Him and not my ways.. which when I'm uncomfortable I run... but this is the longest job I've had, I'm starting to lean on God for strength, patience ect

[ReneelovesGod]

WE don't look to get anytime of accolades from the world (Jesus servants, I speak of). Our work does not define us. I have and am still learning that the hostile environment is not just at work, its everywhere. the war is not with the flesh, as the Bible says but evil forces in heavenly places. no matter what good I do, it only counts to God where I place my trust. I pray that God continues to keep me that I don't open myself to get hurt from the ignorance of the world. I count all my negative situations as joy because it is developing my character. Its hard, tho because many times in my mind I take it personal. I
I ask God to guard my heart and mind from the attacks and help me not to feel sorry for myself. I am a servant of God and I expect hardship, however I know I am an overcomer.!! and nothing shall hurt me. I am nobody to receive anything, yet God gives me everything! My mind is healthy and my heart is healed, amongst other blessings. I hear from God...thats better than dumb awards and accolades from people who don't know or care about Jesus!

In as much as I would like to believe this, this is not my experience. The more you honor and do, the more you get piled on you and you just end up taking on the work the slackers leave for you.

[angelastewart]

Just quit . Yeah right, rent due in 29 days . My job is slave labor. They force you to work 16 extra hours. After you already did your 40 to 80 hours. & when you have a day off they call you all freaking day.. I’m on the computer 💻 looking every chance I get to get out of that hell 🕳 hole .

[hiddengem]

*Amen, pray Ephesians 6 to put on the full armor of GOD, pray Psalm 91 and 37.*
Anoint yourself and your desk area with prayed over oil every morning
Rebuke, bind and cast out all demonic entities away from you and your family
Loose peace, joy, wisdom, knowledge, self-control, (pray all the spiritual fruits of The Holy Spirit)
and pray to The Lord to remove the evil demonically possessed bosses and coworkers out of there!
He will if you remain faithful to Him -- He will answer the desires of your heart.

*_You have been put at that job to make a spiritual difference_* - don't be in sin or else it will become worse on you!
Pray for favor of men, softening of their hearts (and your heart to deal with them), boldness, peace, understanding and wisdom in Jesus Mighty Name!

I so much needed to hear this today, both me and my wife.

[LALady]

I got severely ill from it I went through years of persecution and abuse even under church authority. I really think it broke my spirit eventually.

[nathanfernandes]

Thanks for God's help in every situation

Totally inaccurate content! Quit and seek better opportunities if your work environment is hostile.

[sarahvincerivera]

Im currently working as a correction officer and I’m just trying to figure out how to still be a Christian but also firm so I’m not being ran over anyone have advice for me?

[missyma]

I'm having millennials tell me they are being tormented in the workplace and I'm sure it's the same for generation Z. Most of it is coming through slot of boomers and some generation X and it's totally unfai. They have had their time and had their years and they want come and mess it up for you and that is absolutely terrible. I'm gonna pray that the Lord will deal and have them grow up.

[texastea]

I work at the VA, and I love what I do. I am busy from the minute I walk in to the minute I leave. I just got a write-up for "refusing to do my work." My boss just doesn't like me.

[BumberenzoThePumperTruck]

If your treated badly just quit and do the things you like. Quite simple?

[amasterofnothing]

So confused over what happened, but we should all pray for Darrin. He's a gifted pastor. Hoping that God will be able to work positively through this. Please pray for Darrin.

I looked up 1st Timothy 1:10 and it does not say the same thing he stated, not even close. Did I hear the wrong thing or did he mean a different verse?
