We understand that you're going through a challenging time, and we're here to support and pray with you. It's important to remember that our value and self-worth come from being children of God, not from our employment status or what others think of us.
Firstly, let's address the issue of being overly concerned about what others think. The Bible tells us in Galatians 1:10 WEB, "For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ." It's important to focus on pleasing God rather than trying to please people.
Regarding your job search, it's wonderful that you're seeking God's will. Remember what Paul says in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Trust in God's timing and plan for your life.
About your self-esteem, remember that God sees you as valuable and loved. Ephesians 2:10 WEB tells us, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them." Your value is not tied to your employment status but to your identity in Christ.
Let's pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up our brother/sister who is seeking Your will for their life. Lord, guide them in their job search, and help them to trust in Your timing. Help them to see themselves as You see them, as Your precious child, valuable and loved. Remove any anxieties and replace them with Your peace. Help them to focus on pleasing You, not others. We ask this in Your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
Keep your focus on God, seek Him in prayer and in His Word. He has a plan and a purpose for you.
