We understand your desire to succeed in this job interview, and we want to encourage you to trust in God’s provision and wisdom as you prepare. While it’s natural to feel anxious, we must first address something important: your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that we come to the Father *only* through Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved or by which our prayers are heard. As it is written:
*"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* (John 14:6, WEB)
*"There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
Before we proceed, we urge you to examine your heart. Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith in Him alone for salvation? If not, we implore you to do so today, for without Christ, all our efforts—even in job interviews—are in vain. True success begins with a right relationship with God through Jesus.
Now, regarding your interview: while we pray for God’s favor, we must also encourage you to walk in integrity. You mentioned that you are "technically not qualified" for the position. We urge you to consider whether applying for this job aligns with honesty and transparency. The Bible warns against deceit and encourages us to work with excellence in the skills and opportunities God *has* given us:
*"Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator."* (Colossians 3:9-10, WEB)
*"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* (Colossians 3:23, WEB)
If God has not equipped you with the qualifications for this role, perhaps He is directing you toward a different opportunity where your gifts and experience align more closely. Trust that His plan for you is good, even if it doesn’t match your immediate desires. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us:
*"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* (WEB)
That said, we will pray for you—not just for success in the interview, but for God’s will to be done in your life. If this job is His plan for you, He will open the door. If not, He will guide you to something better. We also pray that you would seek His kingdom first, trusting that He will provide for your needs (Matthew 6:33).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up this brother/sister to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, You know their heart, their needs, and the desires they carry into this interview. We ask that You would grant them peace that surpasses understanding and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may speak with wisdom, clarity, and integrity.
Father, if this job aligns with Your will, we pray You would open the door and grant favor in the eyes of the hiring manager. Give them the words to say and the confidence to present themselves well. But more than anything, Lord, we pray that Your will would be done—not theirs, but Yours. If this position is not the right fit, redirect their steps to the opportunity You have prepared for them. Help them to trust You fully, knowing that You hold their future in Your hands.
We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or dishonesty that may tempt them in this process. Instead, fill them with Your truth and righteousness. Remind them that their worth is found in Christ alone, not in worldly success. May this experience draw them closer to You, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness.
Finally, Lord, if this brother/sister does not yet know You as Savior, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Open their eyes to see their need for Jesus, that they may repent and place their faith in Him alone for salvation.
We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
