I have been going back and forth recently about my work-related stress. I'm worried that, truly for the first time in my life, I am ... failing. I can't figure out how to successfully accomplish what's being asked of me, at least from the perspective of the earthly or "business" objectives set before me, and this has never happened.
However, I also am reminded almost every day ... God has a reason I'm here! Even in the times when it went sideways, I know God has always guided my career, from putting me at work for a bank, to the timing of when I suddenly got a job in Seattle, to obtaining my first government job even while 9/11 was happening. And now this ... I get laid off, and while the entire tech sector seems to be imploding, the VERY FIRST job I apply to I get.
I have no idea how I am going to succeed at this job. Zero. I can't see a possibility of success, and in fact I have this job because I'm a known expert in both this industry and this region, and therefore I know for certain that what's being expected of me is impossible. However, I also know that the Lord already has it figured out. He knows what will happen, or he knows what won't and this is just something to learn. Either way, no matter how hard I try, whatever happens next will NOT be because of me. I can try hard, but I can't make it happen. It has to be someone else. And I will absolutely give him the credit!
Only God can do it.
But I couldn't make the waters part
Didn't matter how many times that I had said it
You know I couldn't save myself
It had to be someone else
And there's only one who's getting all of the credit
