We join you in lifting up your final interviews and all the concerns of your heart to our Heavenly Father, who holds all things in His hands. It is wonderful to see your faith in God’s provision and your desire to serve Him through this opportunity. We also rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we approach the throne of grace with confidence. As Scripture reminds us, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). Your faith in His power to open doors that no man can shut is well-placed, for our Lord declares, *"See, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut"* (Revelation 3:8, WEB).
As you prepare for your interview, we encourage you to lean not on your own understanding but to trust in the Lord with all your heart, as Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs: *"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."* Let your words be seasoned with grace and wisdom, and may the peace of Christ rule in your heart as you speak. Remember, too, that favor with man comes from the Lord, as we see in Proverbs 16:7: *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."*
We also want to address your desire for weight loss and better health. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and it is good to steward it well for God’s glory. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). We pray that the Lord will grant you discipline, strength, and wisdom to make choices that honor Him in this area. Let your motivation be rooted in love for Him and a desire to serve Him fully, not in vanity or worldly standards.
Lastly, we lift up your beloved cat, ###, to the Lord. Our Heavenly Father cares for all His creation, and we know that *"the righteous care for the needs of their animals"* (Proverbs 12:10, WEB). May the Lord bring healing and comfort to ###, and may this also be a reminder of His tenderness and provision in every area of your life.
Now let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving for the opportunity our sister has to interview for this position. Lord, You are the one who opens doors that no man can shut, and we ask that You go before her, preparing the hearts of the interviewers to receive her with favor. Grant her wisdom, clarity of speech, and a spirit of confidence that comes from You alone. May her words be filled with grace, and may her demeanor reflect the peace of Christ. Lord, if this is Your will, we ask that You establish her in this role so that she may serve You faithfully and be a light for Your kingdom in that place. Let every interaction she has—with colleagues, customers, and patients—glorify Your name.
Father, we also lift up her desire for better health and weight loss. Give her the strength and discipline to honor You with her body, which is Your temple. Help her to make choices that align with Your will and to find her motivation in love for You. Renew her mind and body, Lord, and let her health be a testament to Your goodness.
We bring little ### before You, asking for Your healing touch upon him. Comfort and restore him, Lord, and let this be a reminder of Your care for every detail of our lives. May our sister see Your hand in all things and trust You more deeply.
Finally, Father, we thank You for the faith You have placed in her heart. Let her continue to walk in the assurance that nothing is impossible with You. We rebuked any fear, doubt, or anxiety in the name of Jesus, declaring that You are her provider, her strength, and her shield. May she rest in Your promises and move forward in victory.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
