We come before the Lord with a humble heart, lifting up this request for employment. Father God, we know that You are the provider of all good things, and every job and opportunity comes from Your hand. We ask that You open the doors You desire for this individual, according to Your perfect will. "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans for welfare, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
Lord, we pray that if this job is in alignment with Your will, You would grant favor in the eyes of those making the decision. Give wisdom, clarity, and peace to both the interviewer and the one seeking employment. "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this" (Psalm 37:5 WEB). May this opportunity be a blessing not only for provision but also for Your glory, that this individual may serve You faithfully in their work.
We also want to gently remind that our trust must be in You alone, not in the outcome of any job or circumstance. If this job is not part of Your plan, we ask for the faith to accept Your will, knowing that You have something even better prepared. "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33 WEB).
We rebuke any spirit of anxiety, desperation, or doubt that may be trying to take hold. Instead, we declare Your peace over this situation. "Don’t be anxious about anything, 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" (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).
Lord, we also lift up the importance of honoring You in the workplace. If this job is granted, may it be a place where integrity, diligence, and Christ-like character are displayed. Help this individual to be a light in their workplace, reflecting Your love and truth.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who sustains us, provides for us, and gives us hope. Amen.
