Don’t know what God wants despite constant prayer.

Feeling like God really opened the door for me to come into MBB. I am an EH senior associate without the typical prestigious background (no MBA, state school undergrad, tech implementation background).

However, the second I got here my life has been awful. Dealt severely with long covid, had a highly abusive manager for my new hire pairing, couldn’t get staffed for months, and then was left to rot in the next case. Likely to be fired soon

The constant prayer is so good (Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18)—don’t lose heart! God’s dealings in life can come in unexpected and even un-understandable ways. Job’s suffering, for instance, had a cause that Job and his friends never knew about (God allowing Satan to afflict him).

But God does reassure His people with some beautiful promises:
• Suffering for believers is meaningful and is specially brought to their lives to perfect them (Hebrews 12:6; James 1:2–4)
• God works all things for good for those who love Him to be confirmed to His image (Roman’s 8:28–29)

What does God want from you?
• 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Joy, prayer, gratitude
• Romans 8:29 To be conformed to the image of His Son (this is often painful but always good)
• Deuteronomy 10:12–13 To love Him with all your being and to obey His commands

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.
