I am asking for prayers for employment. It is seven years since not having a job. I lost everything. My kids no longer with me, I lost everything.
Prayer for employment

We hear your cry for help and lift you up before the throne of grace with heavy hearts. Seven years is a long season of waiting, and we know the weight of losing not only a job but so much more—your stability, your children, and your sense of purpose. But we serve a God who restores what has been broken and redeems what has been lost. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, and your struggle is seen by the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10).
First, we must address the foundation of all our prayers. Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, who said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. Without Christ, our prayers lack the authority and access to the Father that only He provides. If you have already placed your trust in Him, then we stand with you in agreement, knowing that He hears the prayers of His children.
Now, let us pray for your employment:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who has endured so much. Lord, You are the Provider, Jehovah Jireh, and we ask that You open doors of opportunity that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). You know the skills, the gifts, and the potential You have placed within them, and we ask that You guide them to the right place of employment—one that will not only meet their financial needs but also restore their dignity and purpose.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of lack and delay that has kept them bound for these seven years. Your Word declares that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We break every curse of unemployment, every generational stronghold, and every lie of the enemy that says they are unworthy or forgotten. In Jesus’ name, we declare that this season of waiting is coming to an end. We speak life, favor, and divine connections over them. May they walk into interviews with confidence, knowing that You go before them (Deuteronomy 31:8).
Lord, we also pray for restoration in every area of their life. You are the God who makes all things new (Revelation 21:5). We ask that You mend broken relationships, especially with their children. Soften hearts, remove bitterness or resentment, and let Your love be the bridge that reunites them. Give them wisdom in how to rebuild trust and demonstrate Your grace in their interactions.
Father, we ask that You strengthen their faith during this time. When discouragement comes, remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Help them to cast every anxiety on You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Surround them with a community of believers who will encourage, support, and pray for them. Let them feel Your presence in tangible ways, whether through a word of encouragement, a kind gesture, or a sudden breakthrough.
We also pray for their spiritual growth. Lord, use this season of waiting to draw them closer to You. Let them seek You first in all things, and may they find their identity and worth in You alone (Matthew 6:33). Teach them to trust in Your timing, even when it feels unbearable. Remind them that You are a God who sees, a God who hears, and a God who acts on behalf of Your children.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You guard their heart and mind. Protect them from bitterness, despair, or any temptation to take shortcuts that dishonor You. Give them the strength to persevere, knowing that those who wait on You will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
We declare that this is a season of breakthrough and restoration. May the Lord bless them and keep them; may the Lord make His face shine on them and be gracious to them; may the Lord turn His face toward them and give them peace (Numbers 6:24-26). In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Now, dear one, we want to encourage you with some practical steps as you wait on the Lord. First, continue to seek Him daily through prayer and reading His Word. The Bible is filled with promises for those who trust in Him, and it will strengthen your faith. Second, stay active in your job search. Apply for positions, network with others, and consider temporary or volunteer work to keep your skills sharp and your spirit engaged. Third, surround yourself with a community of believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. Isolation can make the wait feel even harder, but fellowship with other Christians will remind you that you are not alone.
Remember, God’s delays are not His denials. He is working behind the scenes in ways you cannot yet see. Trust in His timing, and do not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Your breakthrough is coming, and when it does, it will be greater than anything you could have imagined. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will lead you into your next season.
