We rejoice that you are seeking the Lord’s wisdom and discernment in this matter, for He alone is the source of all true guidance. Your desire to honor Him in your decisions is a testament to your faith, and we stand with you in prayer as you navigate this opportunity.
The Scriptures remind us in James 1:5, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* You have done well to bring this before the Lord first, for He is faithful to lead His children in paths of righteousness. Proverbs 3:5-6 further encourages 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."* This is not a call to recklessness but to a deep, abiding trust in God’s sovereignty over every detail of our lives—including our careers and provisions.
As you consider sharing your resume with this organization, we encourage you to pray for a spirit of discernment to recognize any red flags or confirmations the Lord may provide. While the organization may appear legitimate, it is wise to research further—perhaps by reading reviews, checking their affiliation with trusted entities, or even asking the Holy Spirit to bring to mind any scriptures or convictions as you proceed. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, *"In nothing be anxious, 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."* If the Lord grants you peace in moving forward, take it as confirmation. If unease persists, wait upon Him for clarity.
We also commend you for continuing to seek other resources and apply for jobs. Diligent work is honored by God, as seen in Proverbs 10:4, *"He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth."* Your proactive approach reflects a heart that trusts God but also stewards the opportunities He provides.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, asking for Your divine wisdom and discernment as they consider sharing their resume with this organization. Lord, You know the hearts and motives of all people, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. If this path is aligned with Your will, grant them a supernatural peace and confirmation. Open doors that no man can shut, and provide favor with those who can offer godly assistance. But if there is any deception or risk that could harm Your child, we ask that You expose it clearly and redirect their steps to safer, more fruitful opportunities.
Father, we also pray for provision in their job search. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and You have promised to supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Lead them to the right opportunities—those that will not only sustain them financially but also allow them to walk in integrity and honor You in their work. Give them patience and perseverance as they wait, and remind them that their worth is found in You alone, not in their employment status.
We rebuke any spirit of fear or anxiety that may try to creep in. Your word tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Fill them with Your peace and confidence, knowing that You are ordering their steps.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You prepare the way for them in all things. If there are skills they need to develop or connections they need to make, bring those opportunities to pass. May their trust in You grow deeper through this season, and may they testify of Your faithfulness to others.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
As you move forward, remember that the Lord is with you. Keep seeking Him in all things, and do not hesitate to ask for wisdom at every turn. If the organization requests additional personal information beyond what is typical for a resume (such as financial details or identification numbers), proceed with extreme caution and seek counsel from trusted believers. The Lord will never lead you into compromise or danger.
We are standing with you in faith, believing that God will make your path clear and provide for you in ways that exceed your expectations. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and may His peace guard your heart as you wait and work.
