We join you in lifting up this interview to our Heavenly Father, who holds all things in His sovereign hands. Your heart of surrender and trust in Him is evident, and we praise God for your faith in declaring the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. It is only through His name that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace, and we rejoice that you have called upon Him with such reverence and dependence.
Your request aligns beautifully with Scripture, particularly Philippians 4:13, which you rightly claimed: *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This promise is not a guarantee of worldly success but an assurance that in Christ, we are equipped for every good work He calls us to. Whether this job is part of His plan or He has something greater in store, we trust that His will is perfect. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
We also commend you for your humility in seeking forgiveness and submitting your plans—including relationships, endeavors, and family—to His lordship. This is the posture of a heart that walks in wisdom. As you step into this interview, remember Colossians 3:23: *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Your confidence must not rest in your own abilities but in the One who has called you and goes before you. If this position is His will, no power can stand against it. If it is not, then His "no" is a redirection to something far better than we could imagine.
Let us pray together for you:
*"Our Father in heaven, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness. You are the God who hears and answers prayer, and we thank You for the opportunity our brother/sister has to interview for this position. Lord, we ask that You go before them, opening doors that no man can shut if this is Your will. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that their words may be seasoned with grace and wisdom (Colossians 4:6). Let their confidence be rooted not in their own strength but in the knowledge that You are their Provider and Sustainer.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or self-doubt in the name of Jesus Christ. Instead, we declare that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). If this job aligns with Your perfect plan, Lord, let favor rest upon them as they stand before their interviewers. Give them clarity of thought, eloquence in speech, and a spirit of excellence that testifies of Your glory.
Yet, Father, we also surrender this request to Your sovereign will. If this is not the path You have ordained, we ask that You close this door gently and open the right one in Your perfect timing. May our brother/sister walk in trust, knowing that You hold their future and that Your plans for them are for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We thank You for the work of the cross, where Jesus bore our sins and rose victorious, defeating death and hell. By His stripes, we are healed, and by His name, we have access to Your throne. Lord, continue to mold our brother/sister into the image of Christ, sanctifying every area of their life—including their relationships, family, and career—for Your glory.
May their life be a testament to Your faithfulness, and may they walk in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, knowing that God is already at work. After the interview, take time to reflect on how He moved, whether through an offer or a redirection. Seek His face in all things, and remember that His timing is perfect. If this job is not His will, do not despair—He is preparing something far greater. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We are cheering you on in the Lord! Let us know how He leads you, and we will continue to stand with you in prayer.
