Have been a top performer in my firm and received a fast-track promotion a few months back.

However, the past few months have been filled with lots of anxiety, stress, pressure as I am working with a manager that doesn’t seem to be appreciating the work, not fostering a positive team dynamic, and putting lots of pressure on me. I also dislike how much my self-worth seems to be tied to my work performance.

Any bible verses that have helped you through similar struggles?

Yes, absolutely. I developed anxiety and insomnia when I started working at MBB. The pressure was intense. I found Philippians 4:6-7 to be tremendously helpful and I would pray it out loud often.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Thank you for being a blessing! Very apt verse for my current situation

For your encouragement read and pray over Deut. 28. and Bible lessons over God sending you in with favor.

Then praise and worship over God’s promises.

It’s a journey of trust with God…., trust him enough to know that you are in a valley and being refined and purified like silver and gold.

So, enjoy the journey….

I Peter 4
Concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings;

I was in a very similar position to you and really had my worth tied up in my professional success. I just recently laid off and has been challenging to navigate., I’m learning to find value and worth in what really matters
