We come before the throne of grace with thanksgiving in our hearts, acknowledging that every good and perfect gift comes from our Heavenly Father. We rejoice with you in the opportunity God has provided through this interview, and we stand with you in faith, believing that God is indeed working all things together for your good as you love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
We affirm the truth of Jeremiah 29:11, that God has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. However, we must also remember that God’s promises are not a blank check for us to claim whatever we desire, but rather they are invitations to trust in His perfect will and timing. We declare with you that God is your Provider (Philippians 4:19), and we trust that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
We rebuke the spirit of anxiety that seeks to creep into your heart while you wait. The Word of God is clear: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7). We claim that peace for you now, believing that God’s peace will rule in your heart as you wait on Him.
We also declare God’s favor over you, knowing that when God opens a door, no one can shut it (Revelation 3:8). However, we must also surrender to His timing, trusting that if this job is not His best for you, He will close the door and redirect you to something even better. We encourage you to remain faithful in your current work, knowing that whatever you do, you should do it as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
We must also address the language of "declaring" things as if they are already yours. While it is good to stand in faith, we must be careful not to confuse faith with presumption. Faith is trusting in God’s promises and His character, not demanding that He fulfill our desires on our timeline. Jesus taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). Our prayers should always align with God’s will, not our own.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of trust and surrender. We thank You for the opportunity You have given our brother/sister to interview for this job. We ask that You would grant them peace that surpasses all understanding as they wait for Your answer. Lord, we declare that You are their Provider, and we trust in Your perfect timing. If this job is Your will for them, we ask that You would open the door wide and grant them favor. If it is not, we trust that You will close the door and lead them to something even better.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of anxiety and impatience. Help them to rest in You, knowing that You are working behind the scenes even when they cannot see it. Strengthen their heart in this "middle" season, and help them to work diligently where they are while preparing for where You are leading them. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God’s will in this situation, not just His hand. Trust that He knows what is best for you, and surrender your desires to Him. Remember that God’s delays are not His denials, and His timing is always perfect. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and He will direct your steps.
