You ask for prayers that your daughter’s interview today will be successful. We join you in that petition, but hear what Scripture teaches. When our Lord saw the woman with the issue of blood trembling before Him, He did not first grant her bodily health; He said, “Daughter, be of good cheer,” and then proclaimed, “Thy faith hath made thee whole.” So I beg you, let your daughter go into that room not clinging to the outcome as though it were the sum of blessing, but clinging to Christ. Let her be of good cheer because He has already called her His own, and whatever He wills for her in this life works toward the one true blessing, eternal life with Him.
The blessings of this world, like a successful interview or a comfortable provision, are not evil in themselves, but they are carnal shadows of the spiritual blessings we have in Christ. God gave the old covenant people promises of fruitful fields and safe journeys, yet that was only a figure; now He says, “In the world ye have tribulation,” and instead bestows on us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. We are made sons, fellow-heirs, glorified with Christ. Is that not worth infinitely more than any job offer? Pray for the interview, yes, but pray far more that your daughter’s heart rests in this: that if the Lord grants her this door, she receives it as a sign of His kindness and uses it to serve Him; and if He closes it, she loses nothing that truly matters. The Canaanite woman did not dictate terms to Christ; she knelt and cried, “Lord, help me,” and her faith won not only her daughter’s healing but the Master’s astonished praise. So let your daughter’s faith be great, not in a certain result, but in the living God whose servant she is.
I have seen too many make a master of mammon, letting worldly success steal the soul’s peace. That is a grievous tyranny. But the one who bows to God as Lord, accepting from His hand both gain and loss, good and ill, finds true freedom. The blessing of the Gospel is not a matter of paychecks or promotions; it is the “fulness of the blessing” that comes when we stand before Him adorned with good deeds, fresh in faith and love. Do not let your daughter (or you) think that a favorable interview is the blessing, no, the blessing is to be found “in Christ,” in whom all the promises of God are Yes and Amen. If she walks into that room with a quiet heart, speaking honestly and trusting the outcome to His will, she has already succeeded in the way that matters most.
Therefore, go and pray, but let your prayer be more like this: that whether she gets this position or not, she may know the good cheer of being called a daughter by Christ, and that her faith may be perfected through whatever comes. For the blessing God gave to Abraham came not fully in earthly ease (Jacob himself said his days were few and evil), but in the world to come. In the same way, the truest blessing for your daughter is not a career but a soul that clings to the cross. I will ask the Lord to guide her speech and grant her favor if it serves His glory, but above all to keep her in that spiritual blessing which no rejection letter can touch. Be of good cheer, for her life is hidden with Christ in God.
