Hi...I'm a believer and need some Christian discernment here...I confess it - I'm a slacker at work. I can't concentrate, I daydream, surf the Net and in general let time slip thru my fingers. I get my work done (and get bonuses every year), but I know I could do more. I calculated the hours I owe my boss and am working overtime to pay it back. But I feel so guilty. A couple of months ago, I was TENSE for weeks - my neck, shoulders and back were in almost constant pain. I feel like God is telling me to confess to MY BOSS. But I'm so scared! I could get fired. Is it me? Is it just my guilt? Or does God work this way sometimes? I was listening to Christian radio and it was very interesting (coincidence? Divine providence?) that as soon as I got in my car, I heard Michael Yussef talking about this very issue. He was talking about confessing when you've wronged another person, but then he said, "But I don't mean when the person doesn't even know you've done anything wrong."I've confessed it to God - is that enough?I'm trying to pay her back but honestly I'm scared about the future - whether I tell her or not. I've been diagnosed with depression (thought I had ADD) and the psych said depression also causes the inattention, distractability, etc. I'm in therapy for it but how can I totally prevent flaking out if it's due to a mental condition?Can someone please help me make sense of this?

You only need confess to God it is he who gives you forgiveness not your boss if you are making it up what purpose to take the chance of losing your Job. The problem here seems to be your lack of faith to believe that God has forgiven youdo you think he lies when he promises to forgive you?? No! of course you dont so then why dont you accept it or believe it??How do you think God feels when he has forgiven you and you wont claim his forgiveness?If you are making amends and have confessed to God IT IS DONE GONE NEVER HAPPENED Now you need to have enough faith in your father to believe it and forgive yourself as he has forgiven you and get on with being the best employee you can be thats what he expects from you instead of wallowing in guilt for a sin he has blotted out. Trust in your father and claim the forgiveness he has given you.

Dude, you need to relax. That's why you're so tense. I deal with depression myself, so I can relate to all the things your saying. But if you think you might get fired, don't admit to it. You have to worry about your livelyhood. Just keep working to do better. If you do that, your boss will notice.
