I asked for a job and you gave one! \u00a0I am so grateful. These are hard time for many people. I don\u2019t take this gift lightly.

I have employment; I need strength and endurance to <em>DO<\/em> the job I\u2019ve been assigned. Honestly, today I feel over my head.

This is for me! Please grant me wisdom, today. I\u2019m not smart enough to handle my new duties. I need insight, emotional strength, guidance with time management, empathy in relationships, creativity to solve challenges, and most of all joy when I feel overwhelmed by the expectations others are placing on me, and expectations I\u2019m placing on myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for providing this new job. Now please give me what all I need to master it. I ask knowing that you hear and care. You have given provision; you won\u2019t leave me alone to do it alone.
