God does not want me to overwork and miss church

Matthew 6:33, “33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

Went I just came out NS, I took up a sales job at a pet shop. As this is a retail business, I was required to work on weekends and public holidays at times. As a result, I was not able to attend church every Sunday. Consequently without hearing the Word of God from the sermons that my pastor gave, I was not growing spiritually and was not strong in the Word of God.

My flesh started to get the better of me. From time to time, I was like having depression and even thoughts of contemplating suicide crossed my mind due to my heavy work load. I remembered there was a certain day when the shop was very busy and I found myself unable to cope with all the work. I was the only one managing the shop and I almost broke down then suddenly Pastor Oon appeared at the shop. He dropped by to ask me how I was doing and wanted to catch up a little with me. I did not tell him what emotional feelings I was having at that time. However subsequently, whenever I had depressing and fatal thoughts, I would always receive a call from Pastor Oon or he would simply appear at the shop. It happened so frequently that I felt it was no longer a matter of coincidence but rather God trying to put me back to Him through Pastor Oon. After a few more incidents I was so touched and amazed by God that I decided to quit the job and put God as my priority; by attending church every time to worship Him and hear His words.

After quitting the pet shop job, I started to believe God for a new job that allows me to earn money and attend my church Sunday service. Needless to say, God answered me not long after that.
