God's plan for you is that you enjoy work and enjoy life in Christ.

God had a plan for your life before you were born. Indeed, it’s why He brought you into the world. Simply keeping you “busy” was not His goal. He wants to see you doing the work He prepared in advance for you to do. Joining a worthy cause and working hard is commendable, but you can end up as a square peg in a round hole, expending time and energy without achieving the God’s purpose for you. He wants you to be purpose-driven, not work-driven. “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13).

God will actually create desires within you that will guide you toward accomplishing His purpose. It’s not serendipity or super-spirituality, but God at the helm steering your ship. Expect to do more than you are capable of. Self-directed activity is self-limited activity.

God-directed activity is unlimited activity. God never calls us to do what we can; He calls us to do what He can. Ephesians 3:20 says, “He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”. Listen, act on His promptings, and all things will become possible for you. When work is demanding, draw on His indwelling power.

Paul says in Colossians 1:29, “I labour, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.” How much divine energy is needed for your assignment? “All His energy.” God loves you so much that He hates to see you stressing over anything. Be excited about your work days as you will be excited about your weekend. God's plan for you is that you enjoy work and enjoy life in Christ. God's purpose for you should not stress you.
