Your Question:

What if I never find a job again?

Answer:

I can relate to your concern about losing a job. As a pastor, I've seen people struggle with the fear of unemployment. But, I believe that God's providence is at work in our lives, even when we lose our jobs. It's possible that we're in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason. I've also seen people lose their jobs due to morale issues or, in rare cases, because of their own actions.

It's essential to remember that we can't undo our past or redo our history. We must learn to appreciate who we are and what God has made of us, including our strengths and weaknesses. We can't exercise spiritual gifts we don't have, and we can't come back from where we've never been. Instead of dwelling on the past, we should focus on the present and pursue our careers with energy and passion, but not expecting transcending fulfillment from them.

In Christ, we have everything we need. If we're facing a tough situation, we can turn to God's promises, like 1 Corinthians 10:13, which assures us that God won't let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. He will provide a way out so that we can stand up under it. This promise gives us hope and encourages us to trust in God's goodness, even in the midst of challenges.
