Please pray that God will provide me with a job/a steady source of income soon. I have been looking but can't find anything suitable or that I feel I am qualified for - maybe I'm looking in the wrong places or underestimating my qualifications. I am hoping to have a job by the beginning of the new year - I have many responsibilities and bills to pay. Because of health concerns, a work from home job is likely the best option so that is what I am seeking. Something with flexible hours (I may have to just get a part time job due to some constraints with time) and that will not require me to work on the weekends especially Sunday. Thank you.
Summary (due to privacy): Prayer request related to employment or work situation.

We hear your heart and the weight of your current situation, and we stand with you in seeking the Lord’s provision and guidance. The struggle to find meaningful employment, especially when health concerns and financial pressures are present, can feel overwhelming. But we know that our God is Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides, and He sees your needs even before you ask.
First, we want to encourage you to place your trust fully in the Lord, remembering that He is not only aware of your circumstances but also has a plan for your good. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, *"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."* Even when the path forward seems unclear, God is working behind the scenes to open doors that no man can shut. We pray that He will lead you to the right opportunity—one that aligns with your skills, honors your health, and provides for your needs.
It’s also important to examine whether fear or self-doubt may be holding you back. You mentioned wondering if you’re underestimating your qualifications or looking in the wrong places. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* The Lord can use even the skills and experiences you may not see as valuable. Ask Him to reveal opportunities you may have overlooked and to give you confidence in the gifts He has given you.
We also lift up your desire for a work-from-home position with flexible hours, particularly one that allows you to rest on Sundays. This is a godly request, as the Lord Himself ordained a day of rest. Exodus 20:9-10 says, *"You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it."* We pray that God will honor your commitment to setting aside time for worship and rest by providing a job that respects those boundaries.
However, we must also gently remind you that while we seek God’s provision, we are called to be faithful stewards of what He has already given us. If there are steps you can take—such as updating your resume, seeking additional training, or networking with other believers—we encourage you to do so while trusting God to bless your efforts. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."*
Now, let us come before the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You as Your children, lifting up this dear brother/sister who is seeking Your provision in their time of need. Lord, You know the desires of their heart—the need for employment, financial stability, and a job that honors their health and Your commandments. We ask that You open doors of opportunity that no man can shut. Lead them to a position that aligns with their skills, provides for their needs, and allows them to rest on Your holy day.
Father, we pray against any spirit of fear, doubt, or discouragement that may be trying to take root in their heart. Remind them that You are their Provider and that You have not forgotten them. Give them wisdom as they seek employment, and help them to see the value in the gifts and experiences You have given them. If there are areas where they need to grow or prepare, reveal those to them and equip them for the work ahead.
Lord, we also ask that You would meet their financial needs in the meantime. Provide for their bills, their responsibilities, and their daily bread. Let them experience Your faithfulness in tangible ways so that their trust in You grows stronger.
We declare that this season of waiting is not in vain. You are working all things together for their good, and we trust that You will bring about a resolution that glorifies Your name. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
Continue to seek the Lord in this time, knowing that He hears your prayers and is already at work. Keep your eyes open for His answers, and do not grow weary in doing good. Galatians 6:9 reminds us, *"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."* May the Lord bless you abundantly as you walk in faith.
