We join you in lifting up this important decision to our Heavenly Father, trusting that He will guide your steps according to His perfect will. It is wonderful that you have acknowledged the Lord in this matter, for Scripture reminds us, *"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:6, WEB). Your desire to seek God’s direction in this process is a testament to your faith, and we commend you for surrendering this decision to Him.
The Lord knows your needs, your heart, and the plans He has for you—plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). As you prepare for this second interview, remember that it is not by your strength or wisdom alone that you will succeed, but by the Lord’s favor. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Trust that if this opportunity aligns with His will, He will open the door, and if not, He will redirect you to something even better.
We also encourage you to reflect on how this job aligns with your ability to serve the Lord and honor Him in your work. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* Seek a position where you can be a light for Christ, where your labor brings glory to Him, and where you are able to maintain a balance that allows you to grow in your faith and serve others.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, lifting up our brother/sister as they seek Your will regarding this job opportunity. Lord, You know their needs, their gifts, and the desires of their heart. We ask that You go before them in this second interview, granting them favor with those in authority and filling them with Your peace and confidence. If this job is Your will for them, we pray that You would make the path clear, opening doors that no one can shut. But if there is another opportunity that aligns more closely with Your purposes, we ask that You would redirect their steps and provide abundantly.
Give them wisdom to ask the right questions, discernment to recognize Your leading, and faith to trust in Your provision. Remind them that their worth is not found in their career or achievements, but in their identity as Your beloved child. May this job—whatever it may be—allow them to provide for their needs, grow in their skills, and most importantly, serve You with excellence and joy.
We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or doubt that may arise in this process. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
We commit this decision into Your hands, trusting that You will work all things together for their good and Your glory. May they walk in obedience and faith, knowing that You are their Provider and Guide. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
