There's one thing I learned as I work less hours at my job place due to being in recession/bad economic is to have faith.
May I succeed through your eyes, Father. May I remember that genuine success is a result, not the world's approval, but your approval. It has little to do with fame or fortune but everything to your gift of love and your promise of salvation, Father. According to Joni Tada, "Success isn't the key. Faithfulness is." Perhaps, I should apply that not only at my job place, however, if I am searching for another job, planning a wedding, planning a family gathering, spending time with loved ones, or if I am in a family crisis. I think faith should be in use daily to reach the pinnacle of what you call "success." You must believe he is there to help you, not to harm you. He is there to direct you, perhaps, in a better path in life and through him, he will provide you whatever you need. Sometimes, patience is involved in your situation and the task to wait is agonizing especially when we do live a fast-lane world. In the end, it will be worth it, for sure.
Isaiah Ch. 7 was about a fight against Jerusalem but they could not overpower it. Basically, God was with them all this time and he's in control of the situation. So, we must remember to have faith and to trust in God whether things are turning upside down and inside out in your life.
Isaiah 7:9 (NIV): "The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."
