Many times after being employed in an organization for some time, workers may conclude that there is no more upward movement in sight. They may get frustrated and give up on seeking promotion. If you fell that you have reached a plateau in your career, you can do three things to change your situation:
1. Pray for the break through—Prayer is the key to a successful career. Communication with God will lead you to make better decisions in the work place. Focus your prayers on the steps you need to make next.
2. Focus on innovation — When you create new processes and change the way of doing things for the better, you position yourself to be noticed.
3. Network with people of influence – Many times one word can make the difference…when that word comes from a person of influence.Don’t be afraid to invite people who may have influence to lunch. One lunch could change your life. Don’t be afraid to make new friends at work.
The following is a prayer for those who are determined to break the glass ceiling:
Heavenly Father,
You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I come to You because I feel that there is a glass ceiling in my organization. Lord, I need Your help to calm the frustration on the inside of me. Holy Spirit, please give me Your wisdom and impart creativity into my daily work. Lord, show me how to innovate the usual methods and processes. I thank You that people who have influenceand will boost my career recognize my strengths and abilities. I operate on the next level in my work today because as you said in Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” I think on the next level. I set the standard for the next level. By Your grace, I will break through to be a success at the next level.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen
