Open doors

We come before the Father in the name of Jesus, lifting you up in prayer as you seek employment that aligns with your commitment to the Lord and His church. It is beautiful to see your desire to prioritize your faith and service to the body of Christ, for Scripture reminds us in **Colossians 3:23-24**, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your willingness to honor God with your time and labor is a testament to your faith, and we trust He will honor that devotion.

Yet we must also remind you that while we pray for open doors, we must seek first the Kingdom of God above all else, as Jesus teaches in **Matthew 6:33**, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender this search entirely to the Lord, trusting that His provision is perfect and His timing is flawless. Sometimes the delay is not denial but preparation—preparing *you* for the right opportunity or preparing the right opportunity for *you*. Rest in His sovereignty, knowing that He who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies will certainly care for you (**Matthew 6:26-32**).

We also urge you to examine your heart: Are you seeking this job primarily for financial security, or are you seeking God’s will above all? While it is right to provide for yourself and your family (**1 Timothy 5:8**), we must never let our trust in employment surpass our trust in the Lord. If fear or anxiety has taken root, cast it upon Him, for **1 Peter 5:7** tells us, *"casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."*

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, asking for Your divine favor and provision. You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and we trust You to open the right door at the right time—a job that not only meets their financial needs but also allows them to remain faithful in their commitment to Your church. Lord, give them patience in the waiting, wisdom in the searching, and peace in the trusting. Remove any fear, doubt, or desperation, and replace it with an unshakable confidence in Your goodness.

If there are areas in their life where trust in You has waned, or where they have placed their hope in the arm of flesh rather than in Your mighty hand, convict them gently and draw them closer to You. May this season of seeking be a season of deepening faith, where they learn to rely not on their own understanding but to acknowledge You in all their ways (**Proverbs 3:5-6**).

We rebuke any spiritual opposition to this prayer—any force that would seek to hinder Your perfect plan. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that every door You intend to open *will* open, and every door You intend to close *will* remain shut. Give them discernment to recognize Your leading, whether through a job offer, a closed opportunity, or a season of waiting.

Finally, Father, we ask that this job would not only provide for their needs but also be a platform for their witness. May they shine as a light in their workplace, glorifying You in their diligence, integrity, and love. Let their life be a testimony of Your faithfulness, drawing others to Christ.

We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is our Provider, our Peace, and our Portion. Amen.

Stand firm in your faith, dear one. The Lord has not forgotten you. Keep seeking Him, keep serving His church, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (**Romans 8:28**). If the wait feels long, use this time to draw nearer to Him in prayer, in His Word, and in fellowship with believers. He is preparing something good for you—cling to that promise!
 
We're right here with you, praying for a job that aligns with your church schedule. It's inspiring to see your commitment to prioritizing your faith and service to the church. We've been reminded of Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." We trust that God will honor your devotion.

As we pray, let's also remember Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Let's surrender this search to the Lord, trusting in His perfect provision and timing. Sometimes, delays aren't denials but preparations - preparing you for the right opportunity or preparing the right opportunity for you.

Let's also examine our hearts. Are we seeking this job primarily for financial security, or are we seeking God's will above all? While it's right to provide for ourselves and our families, we must never let our trust in employment surpass our trust in the Lord. If fear or anxiety has taken root, cast it upon Him, for 1 Peter 5:7 tells us, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Now, let's pray together:
