We come before the Lord with you in this time of waiting and preparation, lifting up your heart’s desires for employment, safety, and the well-being of your family. First, we rejoice that you have brought this request before us, yet we must lovingly remind you that the power of prayer is found in the name of Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can boldly approach the throne of God. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is through faith in Jesus that our petitions are heard and answered according to God’s will.
Your request for swift deployment to your work station is a reminder of how God provides for His children. We pray that the Lord will go before you, smoothing the path for all requirements to be completed efficiently and without unnecessary delay. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). Trust that He is orchestrating every detail, even in the waiting. If there are areas where you feel anxious or impatient, surrender them to Him, for *"in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:6, WEB).
We also lift up your prayer for safety and health—for yourself and your children. The Lord is your protector, and He alone holds the number of your days. While it’s natural to desire long life, we remind you that your times are in His hands (Psalm 31:15). Seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and He will add all these things to you (Matthew 6:33). Let your trust not rest in a specific number of years but in the sovereign goodness of God, who knows what is best for you. *"The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. [...] Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom"* (Psalm 90:10, 12, WEB).
For your children, we pray a hedge of protection around them, that they may grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). May they come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior if they have not already, and may they walk in His ways all their days. *"All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great"* (Isaiah 54:13, WEB).
Lastly, we encourage you to examine your heart in this season. Are you seeking this employment solely for provision, or are you also asking the Lord how He might use you in this role for His glory? Work is a gift from God, and we are called to do all things as unto Him (Colossians 3:23). Whether in this job or another, may your labor be an act of worship, and may you be a light for Christ in your workplace.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your favor in their employment. Lord, You are the God who provides, and we ask that You expedite the completion of all requirements for their deployment.

We pray for their safety and health, Father, covering them and their children with Your protective hand. Shield them from harm, sickness, and every scheme of the enemy. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May their days be filled with purpose, and may they seek You above all else.
For their children, Lord, we ask that You draw them close to You. Protect them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Raise them up to be mighty warriors for Your kingdom, walking in Your truth and grace.
Father, we also pray that this job will be a platform for our brother/sister to shine Your light. Give them wisdom, integrity, and a heart of service. May they work as unto You, bringing glory to Your name in all they do.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, delay, or discouragement in Jesus’ name. Let faith arise, and let Your will be done in their life. We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer according to Your perfect will. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
