Bible Verses for Starting a New Job
In short
Starting a new job brings hope and nerves together. Scripture says to commit your work to the Lord, to do it heartily as unto Him, and to go in courage because God is with you wherever you go. 'Commit thy works unto the Lord,' says Proverbs, 'and thy thoughts shall be established.'
As you begin something new, these verses quiet the nerves, set your work before God, and remind you whose you are on the first day and every day after.

A word for this moment
Work is a place to serve God and love people, not a place to earn your worth, which is already settled in Christ. Do your honest best, be kind, and leave the outcome with Him.
