Mary Ashleigh's Paragraph

How does your walk with God influence your job?

I personally think that your walk with God influences your job because it effects your decisions on how you do your job. For example: You can be having a bad day and think nobody cares about you whereas if you are in a good walk with God then you know that God is with you and cares. Usually if you are close with God you are in a better mood and others will want to be around you at work. You can make an influence on others.Therefore being close with God definetly influences your job!
