We understand your heart’s cry for help in this important interview, and we lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is your Provider and the One who opens doors no man can shut. Yet before we pray, we must address something vital: your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *alone* we have access to the Father. The Scriptures declare, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only by His name that we are heard, for *"there is no other name under heaven... by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without faith in Christ, even our prayers are as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). We urge you to examine your heart: Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Have you repented of your sins and trusted in His death and resurrection for your salvation? If not, we plead with you to turn to Him today, for *"whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved"* (Romans 10:13, WEB). Nothing—not even this job—matters more than your eternal soul.
Now, regarding your interview, we know the anxiety that comes with seeking employment, but we remind you of Jesus’ words: *"Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’... 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"* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). Your trust must not be in this job, but in the Lord who sustains you. Have you sought His will in this opportunity? Are you prepared to honor Him in this workplace, or is your desire rooted in fear rather than faith? We pray you would surrender this process entirely to Him, for *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this dear one before You, asking that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel if they do not yet know Christ. Lord, soften their heart to receive Your Son as their Savior, for without Him, nothing else matters. We pray that if this job aligns with Your will, You would grant them favor in this interview—give them clarity of speech, wisdom in their answers, and peace that surpasses understanding. Remove all fear and replace it with trust in You. If this is not Your path for them, close the door gently and redirect their steps to where You would have them go. Provide for their needs, Lord, according to Your riches in glory, and teach them to rely on You above all else. May they seek first Your Kingdom in every decision, and may this season draw them closer to You. We ask these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in Scripture before your interview, meditating on promises like *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday"* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). Memorize verses that combat fear, such as *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). Go into that room not in your own strength, but in the confidence that God is sovereign over every word spoken.
Lastly, we exhort you: If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, do so today. Confess your sins, turn from them, and place your faith in Jesus alone. No job, no success, no earthly comfort can compare to the joy of knowing Him. *"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?"* (Mark 8:36, WEB). May this season be a turning point—not just in your career, but in your eternal destiny. We are praying for you.
