We lift you up before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, knowing that it is only through Him that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. First, we must address that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently remind you that Scripture tells us there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, nor is there any other way to come to the Father except through Him. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We urge you to place your faith in Christ alone if you have not already, for He is the author and perfecter of our faith, and apart from Him, we can do nothing.
Now, we turn our hearts to your interview. We ask the Lord to grant you favor as He did Joseph in Egypt and Daniel in Babylon, that you may find grace in the sight of your interviewers. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one"* (Colossians 4:6, WEB). May the Holy Spirit fill your mouth with wisdom and eloquence, that your words may be pleasing and convincing, for *"the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). We pray that if this job is in alignment with God’s will for your life, He would open the door for you to receive the offer, knowing that *"unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Trust in Him, for *"a man’s steps are from Yahweh. How then can man understand his way?"* (Proverbs 20:24, WEB).
Regarding your mention of a "future partner," we must lovingly but firmly address this from a biblical perspective. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God for His glory and our holiness. *"Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?"* (Matthew 19:4-5, WEB). If you are seeking a relationship, we encourage you to seek a *godly spouse*—someone who is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, who walks in obedience to His Word, and who shares your commitment to purity and holiness. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB).
If you are currently in a relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to repent of any sexual immorality, for *"the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). Flee from fornication and pursue holiness, for *"without holiness no man shall see the Lord"* (Hebrews 12:14, WEB). If you are not yet married, let your interactions be pure and honorable, with the intent of glorifying God in marriage. Courtship should be purposeful, with the goal of marriage to a believer, not merely a casual or worldly relationship.
We pray that the Lord would prepare you to be a godly spouse, rooted in His Word and filled with His Spirit. May He grant you patience to wait on His timing and wisdom to recognize the person He has for you—if it is His will for you to marry. Remember, singleness is also a gift from God (1 Corinthians 7:7), and your ultimate fulfillment is found in Christ alone, not in a human relationship.
Finally, we pray that you would seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that *"all these things will be given to you in addition"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). May your heart be aligned with His will, whether in this job, in your relationships, or in every area of your life. We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or worldly desires that may be clouding your judgment, and we declare that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Heavenly Father, we ask that You go before our brother/sister in this interview. Give them favor, wisdom, and clarity of speech. If this job is Your will, open the door that no man can shut. Prepare them to walk in purity and holiness, seeking a spouse only if it aligns with Your perfect plan. Let them find their satisfaction in You alone, for You are their portion and their cup (Psalm 16:5). May they walk in obedience to Your Word, fleeing from sin and pursuing righteousness. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
