I like my job, I hate my job, I accept my job, I hate my job, I want to make things work, I hate my job, I tolerate my job, I hate my job, the pendulum sways back n forth love hate. And the love is more of an ok let's make the best of this most times.
How does one do a good job for God in a position that stretches one past his own physical limits and the thanks he gets is you screwed up again and again. How can I try to work as if for God, be thankful and not demanding towards him in prayer to relieve me from this burden? At times I want to demand for God to deliver me from this situation, but I know that would not yield anything good nor would it be wise. How can I keep making it through this when the only answer I get is there are no other jobs out there for me? I want to do godly, yet I just want out of this. I can't keep pushing my physical limits every weekend. I want to sleep (insert expletives here) and not have to worry as much about forcing myself up and making more mistakes to be told I screwed up. I am running very low on extra effort. So how can I resolve this work issue with God?

"how can I resolve this work issue with God?"
YOU can't.
I recently studied Jesus' prayer in John 17. It was enlightening to see WHO he prayed for and how...knowing what he was soon to endure. I would encourage you to dig into this chapter as well.
You can't resolve your work issue. This I know...I'm always having work issues. When I try to resolve them...the issue remains or worsens, but when I let GOD resolve it, things like what happened today happen.
Today I had to fire a young employee. A good employee who made a very bad mistake. I was heartbroken, and so was she. At the end of the "termination" discussion I offered encouragement and amazingly the employee I fired was able to look me in the eye and wish me a Merry Christmas, with sincerity.
She had just been fired! This reaction I did not expect!
It wasn't anything I did, it was God working through our discussion to give receptive spirits, teachable hearts, and a peace that surpasses all understanding.
