When you pray, you speak to God, when you read the Bible God speaks to you
Work has been part of man's life since God created Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God made man to take care of the garden. He gave man everything he needed to have a purpose. Then things changed and man had to face life with a new sense of worry and anxiety. Finding the work that is part of God's plan is like taking a journey back to the beginning of a divine spark that can be rediscovered. Yes, we can tend our own gardens with the tools we have, the talents, skills. and interests but to be truly transformed, remember God is your father, Jesus is your friend, and the Holy Spirit is your guide.
