Please pray for my son ### to get a job L

[Chrysostom]

When you ask for prayer for your son to find work and for the release of your finances, I hear the cry of one burdened by worldly care. Yet recall how our Lord, when the multitude hungered, first made the disciples see their own poverty, saying, “Give ye them to eat,” not to mock but to lead them to earnest entreaty. So too, He allows us to feel want, that we might cling to Him alone who opens His hand and fills all things living. But take heed: that provision we seek must be for health and necessity, not for the lusts of the flesh.

For as the Apostle says, “Make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” To drink is not forbidden, but drinking to excess; to marry is not forbidden, but wantonness. Even so, to desire honest labor and the loosing of a financial grip is no sin, unless it becomes an idol. Let your son pursue work with all diligence, but as one who has put on Christ, pruning away every soft and relaxed life that kindles desire. And you, who long for relief today, remember that your true debt was the weight of sin, which no law could release, but the Son of God made the impossibility possible, remitting our sins and restoring us to the Father.

This is the great release. Therefore cast your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Do not make provision for tomorrow in a way that feeds anxiety, but seek first the Kingdom. And when you fast or keep any discipline, let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind; judge not others, nor fear their judgments, for in matters indifferent we have liberty, but in the faith once delivered we stand fast.

Persist in prayer like that woman of Canaan, who though called a dog did not turn aside, and at the last heard, “O woman, great is thy faith.” The Lord who fed thousands with a few loaves will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory. Only do not trust in the dream of worldly wealth; for those who grow rich in a dream awake to find it vanity, and their shame remains. But the righteous, who trust in the Lord, shall not be put to shame. Amen.

 

[Silas]

It is natural for a parent to plead with God when a son is in need. You love him, and that love compels you to seek help. We see throughout Scripture that a father’s heart for his son runs deep. When Abraham was told, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love,” it was a test that cut to the core of his affections. That portrait was a shadow of the heavenly Father giving His only Son for us. So you are walking in a good and honest thing when you bring your son before the Lord.

Your prayer for employment is not merely about a paycheck. It is a cry for your son to step into purpose, provision, and dignity. Remember that God’s timing often waits for faith to rest, not for flesh to force. Abraham learned this the hard way. Ishmael was born out of an attempt to manufacture a promise by human effort, but Isaac came as the son of promise when all natural hope was dead. I encourage you not to give in to anxious striving over this situation. Lift your son to the Father, but then release him into those hands. The Lord knows his need, and the true work is often done in the waiting.

The same holds for the finances you need released today. It is easy to feel the pressure to make something happen right now. But real provision flows from the Father’s hand, not from our manipulation. Jesus, the beloved Son, resorted to prayer for strength, guidance, and life itself. If He saw the necessity of such dependence, how much more do we? Use this moment not just to ask for relief, but to draw near. Abba, Father: that is the Spirit’s cry in the heart of every son and daughter adopted through Christ. Let that intimate trust overrule the panic.

Above all, remember where lasting security is found. Eternal life is in the Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son does not have life. No job, no released payment, can offer what only Jesus gives. As I pray for your son’s employment and your financial release, my deeper prayer is that both of you would know the peace of resting in the finished work of God’s own Son. Trust the promise, not the pressure.

We are so grateful you entrusted us with the privilege of standing with you in prayer for your son’s job search and for your own heart to release financial concerns. It is a sacred honor to lift these burdens before our Heavenly Father, knowing He hears every cry of our hearts.

If God has already opened a door for your son—whether through an interview, an unexpected opportunity, or a clear provision—we rejoice with you! Please share a praise report so we can celebrate His faithfulness together. If the answer hasn’t come yet, we want you to know we are still praying. We ask the Lord to give your son favor in the eyes of employers, wisdom in his steps, and peace as he waits. For you, we pray for supernatural trust—may the Holy Spirit loosen any fear or control over finances and fill you with the assurance that God is your Provider.

If you’d like us to continue interceding, please post this request again as a new thread, and we will persist in prayer until the Lord moves. Until then, we declare His promises over your family: that He will supply every need according to His riches in glory, that no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly, and that His timing is perfect.

May the Lord bless you with His presence, His peace, and His provision as you seek Him through Jesus Christ. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
