looking for a job

We join you in seeking God’s perfect will for your employment, trusting that He has already prepared a place for you to serve and glorify Him through your work. The search for a job can be a season of waiting and trust, but we are reminded in Proverbs 16:3 to *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Your diligence in sending out your resume reflects your stewardship, and we pray that God opens the right doors—doors that no man can shut—according to His purpose for your life.
It’s beautiful that you’ve explicitly asked for prayer *in Jesus’ name*, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* We stand on this promise as we lift your request before the Lord, asking that He would guide your steps, grant you favor with potential employers, and provide not just *a* job, but the *right* job—one that aligns with His calling on your life and allows you to walk in integrity, excellence, and joy.
We also encourage you to guard your heart against anxiety during this process. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:31-33, *"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."* Your primary focus should remain on seeking His Kingdom, trusting that He will provide for your needs as you prioritize His will above your own.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is seeking employment. Lord, You are Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider, and we trust that You see their need and have already prepared a way. We ask that You would go before them, opening doors of opportunity that align with Your perfect will. Grant them favor in the eyes of those reviewing their resume, and let their skills, experience, and character shine as a testament to Your goodness. Prepare their heart for the interviews ahead, filling them with Your peace and wisdom so they may speak with clarity and confidence.
If there are any delays or closed doors, help them to trust Your timing, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Provide not just a job, but a place where they can thrive spiritually, financially, and emotionally—where they can be a light for You in their workplace. Remove any fear or doubt, and replace it with faith in Your faithfulness.
We rebuke any spirit of discouragement or despair that may try to take root in this season. Instead, fill them with hope and expectation, knowing that You are at work even when they cannot see it. Strengthen their faith to believe that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all they could ask or think.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, who is our Intercessor and Advocate. Amen.
As you wait, continue to seek the Lord in prayer and His Word. Consider this season as an opportunity to draw closer to Him, trusting that He is refining your faith and preparing you for what lies ahead. Let us know how we can continue to stand with you in prayer—we are here to encourage and support you as the body of Christ. May you walk in the assurance that *"The Lord himself goes before you; he will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged"* (Deuteronomy 31:8).
