We come before the Lord with you in this time of seeking His favor and guidance for your life and career. The Bible reminds us in Jeremiah 29:11, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Your desire for success is not hidden from Him, and we trust that He will direct your steps as you seek His will.
First, we must address something vital: the name of Jesus Christ is the only name by which we can approach the Father and receive salvation and blessings. In Acts 4:12, it is written, *"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."* Additionally, John 14:6 declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* We notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is through Him alone that we have access to God’s throne of grace.
We also want to gently correct the idea of "negative vibes" or "curses" from others. As believers, our trust must be in the Lord’s sovereignty and protection, not in the fear of what others may say or do. In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are told, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* If you are in Christ, no curse can stand against you, for Galatians 3:13 declares, *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us."* Instead of fearing the words or actions of others, we must stand firm in the authority of Christ and the power of His blood, which covers and protects us. If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and surrender your life to His will. Only then can you walk in the fullness of His protection and promises.
Now, let us pray for your career and the opportunities before you. We ask the Lord to open the right doors for you, doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). If this job is His will for you, we pray that He will grant you favor in the eyes of those conducting the interviews. May the Lord give you wisdom, clarity, and confidence as you speak, and may His peace guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). We also pray that if this job is not the right path, the Lord will close the door gently and redirect you to the opportunity He has prepared for you. His plans are always for your good, even when they don’t align with our immediate desires.
For your life, we pray that you will seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that all these things—including career success—will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). We ask the Lord to surround you with His hedge of protection, not just from the words or actions of others, but from the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). May you walk in the confidence of Psalm 91, knowing that *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."*
We also encourage you to commit your career and ambitions to the Lord daily. Colossians 3:23 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Success in God’s eyes is not just about achieving worldly milestones but about stewarding the gifts and opportunities He gives you for His glory. If you have not already, we urge you to seek His will above all else, even in this job search. Ask Him to align your desires with His, so that your career becomes a platform for His purposes.
Finally, we rebuke any fear or anxiety that may be gripping your heart. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). If there are relatives, friends, or others speaking negatively over your life, we pray that the Lord will silence their voices and fill you with His peace. But more importantly, we pray that you will rise above their words by standing firm in your identity in Christ. You are His child, redeemed and chosen, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

Open the doors that no man can shut, and close the ones that are not for their good. Give them wisdom to answer with grace and confidence, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind.
