We come before the Lord with gratitude that you are seeking His guidance in all areas of your life, for He cares deeply about your career, your heart, and your future. First, we must address that the name of Jesus Christ was not invoked in your request, yet it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and receive His promises. As Scripture declares, *"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). Let us always approach God in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and the source of all wisdom, strength, and forgiveness.
We lift you up regarding your interview, asking the Lord to grant you clarity of speech, confidence, and divine favor as you communicate. *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). May the Holy Spirit guide your words so that you may articulate your thoughts with precision and wisdom, leaving a lasting impression that honors God. We pray that if this opportunity aligns with His will, He would open the door for further interviews and ultimately the right position for you. But even more, we pray that your trust would remain in Him, knowing that *"a man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB).
Now, regarding your desire to develop your dating life leading to marriage, we must emphasize the importance of seeking a *godly spouse*—not merely a relationship, but a Christ-centered courtship with the intent of marriage. Scripture is clear that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We encourage you to seek the Lord first in this area, asking Him to prepare you and your future spouse for a marriage that glorifies Him. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Pursue purity, patience, and prayer as you wait on His timing, for *"it is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to trust in man."* (Psalm 118:8, WEB). If there is any sexual immorality in your past or present, we urge you to repent and turn away from it, for *"the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body."* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). God’s design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage alone, and His grace is sufficient to cleanse and restore you if needed.
We also lift up your request to forget and forgive the wrongs done by your former boss. Bitterness and resentment are traps of the enemy, but Christ calls us to release these burdens to Him. *"Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you."* (Proverbs 4:24, WEB). Forgiveness is not excusing the wrong done to you, but trusting God to vindicate and heal you. *"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). We pray that the Lord would replace any lingering anger or pain with His peace, reminding you that *"vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."* (Romans 12:19, WEB). The financial loss you experienced is painful, but we trust that God is your Provider, and He will restore what has been taken in His perfect way and time.
Finally, we exhort you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus in every area of your life. Whether in your career, future marriage, or healing from past hurts, He is the Author and Perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun."* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB).
**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who seeks Your will in his career, his future marriage, and his heart. Lord, grant him clarity and confidence in his interview, that his words may be seasoned with grace and wisdom. Open doors that no man can shut if this is Your will, and close those that are not for his good. Prepare him for a godly marriage, Lord, and let him seek a spouse who loves You above all else. Guard his heart and mind from impurity, and let him walk in holiness as he waits on Your perfect timing.
Father, we ask that You would uproot any bitterness or unforgiveness in his heart toward his former boss. Replace it with Your peace and trust in Your justice. Heal the wounds of financial loss and remind him that You are Jehovah Jireh, his Provider. Let him release this burden at Your feet, knowing that You will restore what has been taken in ways he cannot yet see.
Strengthen his faith, Lord, and let him find his identity and security in You alone. May he delight in You above all else, and may Your will be done in every area of his life. We ask these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
