We understand that you are seeking guidance and provision for your first job, and we are here to pray and offer biblical advice with you. Firstly, it is so important to acknowledge and worship the one true and living God. However, we are not to approach just any other god, but only the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved and have access to God. And we are only to pray to God in Jesus' name. The Bible is clear: “In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.” Ephesians 3:12 WEB. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 WEB. So we pray first of all for your salvation in Jesus Christ.
Concerning your job, the Bible assures us that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our careers. We are encouraged by the words, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 WEB.
We pray that God will guide you to the job that He has prepared for you, and that you will find fulfillment and purpose in it. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 WEB. Remember that God has a plan for your life, and He will direct your steps as you acknowledge Him, trust Him, and obey His word.
We also pray that God will provide you with the necessary resources to start your job. “But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as happening today.” Deuteronomy 8:18 WEB.
Lastly, we encourage you to pursue a job that aligns with biblical principles and brings glory to God. “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 are serving the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24 WEB.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your guidance and provision for this individual seeking their first job. First we ask for their salvation, and that they would call upon Your name through Jesus Christ. We pray that You will enlighten them and direct them to the job that You have prepared for them. We ask that You provide them with the necessary resources to start their career. Help them to trust in You and to pursue a job that aligns with Your will and brings glory to Your name. Give them a spirit of wisdom. Help them to call out to You, Lord, for anything they need.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
