When Work Feels Like War: Trusting God After You’ve Been Worn Out

Some people don’t fall apart because they stopped believing — they fall apart because they’ve been believing alone for too long.
Work can be that quiet battleground. The pressure, the people, the pace — it can re-open old wounds you thought were healed. You start to feel those familiar thoughts whispering again: “God is done with you.”
But that’s not His voice.
Lamentations 3:22–23 says, “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning.” Every morning means today counts too. Even if yesterday you shut down, zoned out, or fell into survival mode — mercy reset overnight.
Sometimes we keep moving, but inside, our trust is frozen. We can quote verses about faith but not feel safe enough to rest. That’s when God starts teaching us how to trust again — not through miracles, but through moments.
The next time you feel that wall at work, pause. Breathe. Whisper:
“God, I still believe You’re not done with me.”
Then open a verse instead of the TV, even for one minute. You’ll start noticing that the smallest acts of faith rebuild the biggest pieces of trust.
You are not circling failure. You are circling Jericho — and the walls will fall when you stop fighting with your own strength and start trusting with your whole heart.
Ecclesiasticus 2:10 says, “Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded?” None who trusted Him were left stranded.
So when work feels like war, remember — you’re not working for peace, you’re working from peace. God already won your shift before it began.
thank God he renews His grace every day 🙏🏾
I am grateful that God has directed me to the Job that fits me and with the Job that he wants me to do 🙏🏿
Thank you Lord
