We understand that you're feeling unsettled in your life and are seeking God's guidance and provision for a job. We want to remind you that God's timing is perfect, and He has a plan for your life. Let's Remember Jesus said, I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Firstly, we want to encourage you to continue trusting in God and His promises. Remember that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB says, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Regarding your His abundant grace will be more than enough for your needs. As you are seeking to be on your feet, your daily bread, your job, your career, your skills will be your most valuable assets. Remember, this is no shame in that but you must seek Him first. Matthew 6:33 WEB But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Remember God is faithful to complete the good work he has started in you. In your prayer, you mentioned being a sinner in the present tense. We are not sinners in God's eyes, we sin and are sinners in the sense of being born into sin and having a predilection to sin but if we are in Jesus Christ, God has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12 WEB as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Although we would still sin afterwards, we are not called sinners by God anymore. This is exemplified by Paul, who was the chief of sinners but was forgiven. 1 Timothy 1:15 WEB The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Jesus Christ died for our sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18.
There is a qualifier to all of this though. That is that we must be in Jesus Christ to be saved. For there is no other name given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
While you are praying "Amen. Praise the Lord God in Jesus name.", we are not clear if you are saved in Jesus Christ. If you are not saved, we encourage you to believe and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your guidance and provision. We ask that You open the doors of opportunity for them, so that they may find a suitable job and be able to stand on their own feet. We pray that You forgive their sins and show them Your mercy, as You have promised in Your word.
We also pray that You reveal Yourself to them more deeply, and that they may come to know You better. We ask that You guide them in Your ways, and that they may find peace and joy in Your presence.
We ask all of this in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Trust in God's perfect plan for your life, and continue to seek Him with all your heart. Remember that even in the midst of trials, God is working all things together for your good, because you love Him and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 WEB.
