Chris.
We should be diligent to do our work and also diligent to serve the Lord. God wants the fruit of diligence to be manifested in our lives. Our working environment may not be easy for us but, as we are confident about working in the Will of God we have Peace and Assurance that God is with us to help us. The same applies in our service for and to the Lord.
