We hear your heart and the weight of your current struggles, and we come before the Lord together in prayer, lifting you up before His throne of grace. Financial stability is a legitimate need, and the Bible assures us that the Lord cares for our daily provisions. Jesus Himself taught us to pray, "Give us today our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11 WEB), reminding us that our Heavenly Father knows what we need before we even ask. However, we must also remember that our ultimate trust must be in Him, not in the job itself or the security it may bring. "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; 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).
We pray for you now, asking the Lord to go before you into that interview. May He grant you wisdom, clarity, and favor in the eyes of those who will be speaking with you. Let your words be seasoned with grace, and may the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts and responses. "For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:6 WEB). We also pray for peace to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, so that anxiety does not overwhelm you. "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).
We encourage you to prepare diligently for this interview, not only in practical ways but also by seeking the Lord’s guidance. Trust that He has a plan for your life, and this job may very well be part of it. However, we must also remind you that true security is found in Christ alone. If this job is not part of His will for you, He has something better in store. "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to consider doing so today. The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and the promise of eternal life. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9 WEB). This is the foundation of all true peace and security.
We rebuke any spirit of fear or doubt that may be trying to take hold of your heart. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the Lord is with you. We also encourage you to continue seeking Him in prayer and reading His Word, as these are the ways He strengthens and guides us.
Father God, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You would open the doors of opportunity according to Your will. Grant them favor in the eyes of their interviewers and fill them with Your peace and confidence. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, and help them to trust in You alone for their security. May they seek You first in all things, and may Your will be done in their life. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
