Beloved of All
You’re carrying a deep longing right now for a job that will stretch you and provide, and for a wife chosen just for you. That ache for things to start happening soon is real, and it’s not wrong to bring those desires before God. He hears you when you cry out. But I want to gently point out something in your request that concerns me: you mentioned you talk to a tarot reader, and you’re carrying their words into your prayer as if those cards can reveal what God has for you. That’s a dangerous mix. Seeking guidance from tarot, or any form of divination, is not the way of trust in the Lord. It’s like leaning on a broken crutch when a firm foundation is right there.
Think about Job, a man who lost everything, his wealth, his children, his health. He had friends who came to him with confident answers about why he was suffering, but they were all wrong. They assumed his trouble was a sign of hidden sin, or that God’s favor always means prosperity. They were like windbags, full of empty counsel that didn’t help. Job himself didn’t understand what was happening, but he refused to curse God or turn to false sources. He cried out, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust him.” He didn’t go looking for secret knowledge; he poured out his confusion directly to God, even when God seemed silent. And all along, there was a bigger story unfolding in heaven that Job couldn’t see, a story where God’s character was being vindicated, and Job’s endurance was precious.
That’s the thing with tarot cards or any occult practice: they offer a false shortcut, a pretend glimpse behind the curtain, but they can never give you what only God’s Spirit and his Word provide. God has not hidden his will in a deck of cards. He reveals it through prayer, through Scripture, and through the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit as you walk with him. Even Job’s friends used proverbs and observations about life, but they misapplied them and ended up accusing an innocent man. When you run to a tarot reader, you’re doing something similar, you’re letting a voice that isn’t from God speak over your future. That only breeds confusion and can draw you away from simple trust.
You prayed powerfully, asking God to hand-pick the right woman and the right job for you. That’s exactly the right heart: acknowledging he knows better than any card, any reader, any human logic. So stand on that prayer, but pull it fully into the light. Don’t hedge it with a tarot reading. The job that forces you out of your comfort zone might not be the one that makes the most money, and the right woman may not arrive on the timeline you think. Job had to sit in ashes, scraping his sores, before God restored him. But he never lost his reverence, and in the end he saw God’s glory and received double. He made a covenant with his eyes not to look with lust, so even in his waiting for love, he guarded his heart. That’s a picture of purity and patience for you.
God is not a cosmic vending machine, and he owes no explanation. But he loves you, and his timing is perfect. If you truly want him to hand-pick these things, then you must hand over all the methods you’re using to get a sneak preview. Cancel the tarot reading. Let that go completely. Then pour your longing into honest prayer: “Lord, I don’t understand why I’m still waiting, but I trust you. Show me the job you want me to take, even if it looks unimpressive at first. Bring the woman you have shaped for me, in your way and in your time. I won’t look to any other source.” That kind of prayer moves heaven.
Job’s name became a byword for patience, not because he had all the answers, but because he held on. He learned that God’s ways are deeper than our questions, and his purposes are good even when life falls apart. Your life isn’t falling apart; you’re on the edge of new things. Walk forward with your eyes fixed on Jesus, not on cards or signs. He will provide, he will take care of every detail, and he will not fail you.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer these past days. It’s been our joy to lift your heart before the Lord, asking Him to guide your steps into the work and the relationship He has prepared for you. Your trust in His timing and His choice—both for a job and for the woman He has set apart for you—has been a powerful reminder to us all that God alone knows the plans He has for each of us, plans to prosper and not to harm, plans to give hope and a future.
If the Lord has already opened a door, whether through an unexpected opportunity or a quiet sense of peace about a particular path, we would love to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others who are waiting on God’s provision and direction. If, however, the answer hasn’t yet become clear, we invite you to post your request again so we can continue to intercede on your behalf. We believe that God is moving even when we can’t see it, and we want to keep seeking Him with you.
May the Holy Spirit give you patience as you wait, wisdom as you discern, and courage to step out when He calls. May you feel His presence in the waiting and His joy in the journey. We pray all these things in Jesus’ name, trusting that the One who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Amen.
