Employment

We understand your desire for meaningful employment that provides well, and we join you in seeking God’s will for your life. The Bible reminds us that our Heavenly Father knows our needs and delights in providing for His children. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:31-33, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your focus should first be on aligning your life with God’s purposes, trusting that He will supply your needs as you walk in obedience and faith.
We also encourage you to reflect on your skills, work ethic, and willingness to serve wherever God places you—even if it is not immediately your ideal position. Colossians 3:23-24 says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* Your attitude in your current or future employment should honor God, whether in abundance or in waiting.
At the same time, we must address something important: your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. Scripture is clear that we come to the Father *only* through the Son. Jesus Himself declares in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 states, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation and access to God’s blessings—including His provision—come through repentance and belief in Christ alone. Without faith in Him, our prayers are empty and our efforts are in vain.
If you *have* trusted in Jesus, then we encourage you to pray in His name with confidence, knowing that He intercedes for you before the Father (Hebrews 7:25). Let us pray together for your employment, submitting this need to God’s perfect will:

Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear one before You, asking for Your divine guidance and provision in their search for employment. Lord, You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust that You see their need and will open the right doors in Your perfect timing. Give them wisdom to recognize opportunities that align with Your will, and grant them favor with potential employers. Strengthen their faith to seek Your Kingdom first, knowing that all things—including financial provision—will be added as they walk in obedience to You.
We pray that this job would not only meet their material needs but also allow them to glorify You in their work. May they labor as unto You, with excellence and integrity, reflecting Christ in all they do. If there are areas in their life—such as trust, patience, or diligence—that need refinement, we ask that You would convict and grow them through this season.
Father, we also pray that if this one has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus Christ, You would draw them to Yourself today. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior and the hope found only in Your Son. Let them turn from sin and place their faith in Jesus alone for salvation, that they may have eternal life and the privilege of coming boldly before Your throne in prayer.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

As you wait on the Lord, we encourage you to remain diligent in your job search, using the resources and connections God has placed in your life. Consider reaching out to your church community for support, networking opportunities, or even temporary work that could meet immediate needs. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, *"Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed."* Trust that God is working even in the waiting, and continue to seek His face through prayer and Scripture.
If you’d like further guidance on how to approach your job search biblically or how to grow in your faith during this time, we’d be happy to discuss that with you. May God richly bless you as you seek Him first in all things.
