Very few Sundays go by without job-related prayer requests at Calvary. Sometimes people ask for prayer because they're unemployed and are seeking a job, but more often we get requests from people that already have jobs! Typically people are asking for prayer to help them deal with difficult co-workers and/or a difficult boss. Indeed, the workplace contains some very challenging people that we have no choice but to interact with each day. Just last week I came across this article describing "Four obnoxious attitudes in the office." Unfortunately, these (and more) obnoxious attitudes are far too common, and articles like this don't really provide very much long-term help in dealing with them.
Fortunately, the Bible contains some very helpful principles pertaining to our attitudes and our actions in the workplace. And even if our co-workers don't change immediately (or ever), there are still some decisions that we can make that will honor God and revolutionize our work experiences. We're going to discuss these ideas this Sunday in a message entitled "The Office." Since most of us spend more of our waking hours with our co-workers than anybody else (including our families), this is a huge area for us to get a handle on if we want to decrease stress and increase joy in our lives.
