When God says its time to move on...

My Brothers and Sisters,
Most of us enjoy our comfort level, our niche, our security. I know I did. I have a great job with excellent benefits working for the worlds largest provider of cable and cable internet services. While the work was hard and tedious, it was a semi-stable job, which is hard to come by these days. Over the past few months, God has REALLY been speaking to my heart about moving on to the job that is in HIS Will for me. I didn't want to do it. What about my benefits, my health insurance, my 401K? All of these things were enough to scare any sane individual out of leaving a good job. On the other side of the coin, I was tired of having to "appease" customers through talking points rehearsed by management in order to keep the waters from overflowing. I was tired of supporting the sale of products such as HBO and Showtime, which fill the minds of adults and children with perverse thoughts and intentions. I was sick of coming home feeling like I had just sold Satan's entryway into someone's home. I prayed for an answer and everytime it came, I fought it.
Yesterday, in true frustration, I gave everything I had to the CEO of our local power company. They deserved it and I was going to give it to them. For four weeks, a simple request had gone unnoticed. He responded accordingly, giving me nothing but quality customer service. He followed up by having the Vice President of Customers Service call me to ensure that I was satisfied. As I spoke with the V.P., I heard God tell me to ask him about career moves. I did so, and he asked me to email my resume'. I had been fighting God for so long that I didn't even have a resume' prepared. I came to the library, where I could be alone, and wrote as well as e-mailed that resume'.
I would like to not forget that when I ask God for an answer, I'm supposed to be prepared for him to move. I pray that God will bless my obedience with a job that is better suited towards my life as well as my spiritual health.
Please pray for me that if this is the job that God has planned for me, I'll not be afraid to walk away from the job and the benefits that I currently have. Please pray that I will have discernment. Most of all, pray for all of us who have become "comfortably uncomfortable" -- willing to settle for less when God has so much more planned for our lives.
May God Bless and Keep each one of you!

You may not know it yet, but you are in the Best Place! You had the courage to consider change, and I KNOW that God is going to honor it in your life.
Lord, I pray for the perfect job for her. I ask you to give her the ideas and openings she needs to find her way to it. Give her a duty to do each day that will make her leap out of bed in the morning glad to serve You that day, Lord.

I know exactly what your talking about. I prayed for a relationship that would bring forth marriage. I believe God placed my in a situation with a lovely lady...it felt so right it scared me. She was everything I ever dreamed and more but, I doubted what God was speaking to my heart. Needless to say, I deeply regret not trusting God completly and for not being prepared for the answer to my prayers. I pray daily that God will give me a second chance...if it is his will.
I pray for his will in your life and the wisdom and strength to follow through.
