We are glad to join you in prayer and offer biblical guidance as you seek discernment in your career decision. It's important to remember that God guides our steps and has a plan for each of us. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, "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."
Firstly, we notice that you mentioned that you have a partner and you love them. We want to clarify that we only endorse God-honoring relationships. It is important to remember the biblical guidelines of a relationship between a man and a woman. If you are not married then we hope this is a courting relationship under biblical principles. If the relationship with the partner is sexual or living together then it is fornication and against God's design for marriage.
In light of this, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is seeking your guidance in their career. Lord, we thank you for opening a door that seems tailored just for them. We ask that you grant them wisdom and discernment as they consider this new opportunity. Help them to weigh the pros and cons, not just financially, but also spiritually and emotionally.
Father, we pray for clarity in their decision-making process. If this new position is your will for them, we ask that you give them a sense of peace and confirmation. If it is not, we ask that you clearly show them this as well. We trust that you have a plan and a purpose for their life, and we ask that you guide their steps according to your will.
We also pray for their relationship, Lord. We pray that it would be a God-honoring relationship that seeks to glorify you in every way. If there is any area that does not align with your word, we pray for conviction and a desire to turn from it.
Lord, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray and who is the perfect intercessor between us and you. It is in His name we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek God's will in all areas of your life. Remember that God's ways are not our ways, and his thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). Trust in him, and he will direct your paths.
If you have not already, we encourage you to discuss this decision with wise, godly counselors in your life. They can provide valuable insights and perspectives. Also, spend time in God's word, seeking his direction. He speaks to us through his word and through the Holy Spirit that he has given.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is salvation in no other name. If you have never made that decision to give your life to following Jesus Christ then we encourage you to do so and join in the fellowship of believers.
