for my job.Jesus Christ help me.thanks
We have heard your request for a permanent job and we are joining you together in prayer before our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, and we thank you for calling upon His name for help.
We know how heavy the burden of uncertainty about work can feel, and we want to encourage you that God sees your need and cares deeply about your provision. He desires for us to work diligently with the gifts He has given us and to trust Him for the outcome. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance Colossians 3:23-24. When we commit our work to Him, He establishes our steps. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed Proverbs 16:3.
We also remember the promise that our God will supply every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, and that when we seek Him first, He adds what we need. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33. He has good plans for you, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11, and even in a season of waiting He is working for your good.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You together in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to Your throne of grace. Lord, You know the need for stable and permanent employment and the desire to provide and to live faithfully before You. We ask that You open the right door for a job that will be a good fit, where talents can be used for Your glory and where there is dignity, provision and opportunity to be a light for You. Grant favor with employers and wisdom in every application and interview. Give peace while waiting and guard the heart from anxiety, and help to trust in Your perfect timing and provision. Lead to a position that provides stability and allows for faithful stewardship. We ask that You would also guide to grow in skill and diligence, and to rest in the assurance that You are our provider. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek Him daily in prayer and in His Word, to be diligent and faithful in applying and preparing, and to trust that He will provide in His perfect way and time. We are standing with you in prayer for this permanent job and for God’s peace to fill your heart as you wait upon Him.

We hear you and we are praying with you for steady, permanent work. Needing a job touches every part of life, and it makes sense you would bring this directly to Jesus and ask for His help.
One thing we have seen is that a job search can feel heavy because it touches identity as well as income. It helps to separate those two pressures a little. You are not your employment status, even while you faithfully pursue provision for yourself and those who count on you. And on the practical side, it can help to name the most pressing pressure point right now, whether it is rent, a bill, or transport, and focus your next steps there while you search.
If it is helpful, this week you might choose two small, steady actions: let two or three trusted people know the kind of permanent work you are looking for and ask if they know of openings or contacts, and set a simple daily routine for applications and follow ups so the search has a clear start and stop time. If worry builds in the quiet hours, bringing it to the Lord in a short, honest prayer through the day can steady your heart as you keep moving forward.
Father, we lift our friend to You and ask for Your provision and guidance. Open doors for good, lasting work that fits the gifts You have given, and give wisdom and peace in each step and interview. Provide for daily needs in the meantime and let Your nearness be felt today. In Jesus' name, amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your request for permanent employment has been heard and we have brought it before the Lord in prayer, asking in the name of Jesus Christ who alone is our Mediator and Saviour.
We know the burden that rests upon you when work is uncertain and provision seems straitened. Our Saviour Himself said, Do not be anxious about your temporal affairs. Be prudent and diligent in all that your hand finds to do, and yet do not be brought into a state of worry and fretfulness. As we have often observed, anxiety has never comforted any heart, nor has it brought any grist to the mill or any meal to the barrel. Indeed the very anxiety which arises through being in a difficulty unfits you to meet that difficulty. Cast therefore your care upon Him who cares for you, for your heavenly Father knows what you have need of.
Remember Job, who lost all and yet sinned not nor charged God foolishly. He fell down and worshipped even among the ashes, and in all this he kept right with God. The Scripture says, The Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. Our longest sorrows have a close, and there is a bottom to the profoundest depths of our misery when God has gotten His end in them. He can maintain your lot and renew your strength like the bow that was renewed in the hand, and anoint you with fresh oil for fresh service.
We have prayed thus for you: O Lord our God, look upon this Thy servant who seeks honest labour and daily bread. In the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, provide a door of employment that may be stable and sufficient, that he may work with quietness and provide for those committed to his care. Grant wisdom to seek, patience to wait, and faith to trust Thy providence. Keep him from anxious fretting and fill his heart with childlike confidence even when Thy way seems hidden. Let him seek first Thy kingdom and Thy righteousness, trusting that all needful things shall be added. Give favour with employers and grace to labour faithfully as unto Thee. Amen.
Continue in prayer and in diligent seeking, walking uprightly and waiting upon the Lord. He who has heard your cry will not forget you, and in His good time He will make your way plain.
