Sending prayers your way as this journey of what God wants from us to Glorify the kingdom is upon you.

He has called us to peace,
2 Peter 3:14

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.

I have been so burned out. I’m definitely going to start looking for exits to industry. I do feel like this passage is a reminder to not allow myself to be beaten down by the grind. I’m called to give my best.

Yes the job is takes long hours and suffering in terms of stain on my marriage, relationship with kids, and mental wellness. I’ve been pitying myself and bemoaning the situation. I am seeing that I am called to have endurance. Take the lumps. Take the hardship. Make the change that is right for me of course but not let myself feel like a victim and complainer. I am to endure and perverse and to be called to be in His likeness with faith and endurance. Stay strong my friends. Even if this is not the career for you do not go out with a whimper

Thank you. This project just keeps getting worse and worse. I am really leaning into faith and prayers at this point. Your reply is very helpful and much appreciated.

I think this application probably works, but I wanted to note that I believe Paul is writing here about suffering that is unique to Christians. I.e., suffering because of your faith: being misunderstood, maligned, opportunities you miss our on because of your convictions, the enemy's temptations, fighting your own corruptions... This verse in Romans 5 isn't about any and all suffering. The Bible distinguishes between different types of suffering.
