Faithful Servant
Lord, I have been out of work for many months now. Work for me, became just a distant memory. I cried out to you for favour not knowing what was really happening to me both spiritually, mentally and physically. I needed a rest to recover from the shock of losing my former job and reflect on what really went wrong. My job loss provided the right opportunity to reflect, pick myself up, seek the word of God and begin to learn how to trust you more as your child. I lost contact with my former colleagues, lost steady monthly income with a company car and became dependent on the government for jobseekers allowance every 2 weeks but you knew what was best for me as you already drew up and executed your plan. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to find out more spiritual truth that I didn't know about had I continued to be employed and to come to a realisation that I stand before you as a condemned, wretched sinner with a wicked heart full of dirt, ignorance, sinfulness, rebellion and transgression. I only got through these months of my silent storm by your grace. Now after facing so many disappointments and disillusionment with my job applications because of mismatch between my skills, competence and experience and few job interviews that I attended which led to candidate rejection for unsuitable roles throughout my job search, I face a second interview as a candidate on Thursday 6th December at 12:30 PM GMT with the same company as a subcontractor, following my successful first interview. All the thanks and praise belong to you. It doesn't belong to me. I certainly don't deserve it. I will be asked by the interviewer representing the company what skills, knowledge and experience that I can bring as a potential employee to this new company. I know I have you on my side in this matter. You are looking out for my best interest and I know you have a perfect job for me. If this is that perfect fit, then make it perfectly clear to me and to those you are making the hiring decision. Begin now to prepare the time and place where we will meet. Create a relaxed interview atmosphere by focusing a conversation rather than conducting an interrogation. Set the tone in the room. I know that first impressions matter a great deal, so help me to be the natural "me" that you have created, so that they can see through my nervousness and anxiety to the person you have created me to be. Give me a peaceful and sharp mind. Bring to my memory all the knowledge and wisdom that is already there. Let your joy and contentment flow out through my words. And whatever the result, let this process be a blessing to those you review my case, and also to me and my family along the way. Lord, right now I receive your peace. I trust you to work in and through this second interview process. I trust you to provide for all my needs. And if this your perfect fit, then let nothing stand in the way. If it is not right, then close the door and lead me quickly to the right next step. In your name I bless those who will be conducting this second interview. Give them wisdom, peace and rest as well. I receive now, ahead of time your promise - "I will never leave you or forsake you!" I believe this and oh, do I need it. I don't go into this second interview alone. You are with me. And with that confidence, I am at peace. Help me now to feel that peace. In the name of Jesus, amen.
