Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your urgent request for work has been heard and I have brought it before the Lord with the church, asking Him to remember your need.
I understand the weight of waiting through many interviews while your resources grow thin, and the desire for solid and honest work that will provide for your daily needs. The Lord knows this need. He superintends all things and He does not overlook those who look to Him. One thing alone is truly evil, which is sin, while poverty and hardship are not evil in themselves, and God often uses our need to teach us to trust Him more fully and to seek what endures.
Do not be weighed down with anxious desires, but make provision for what is needful for health and for your calling, and spend your chief care on spiritual things. This present life passes quickly like a dream, and riches gained in a dream vanish when we awake, but mercy and faithfulness and the work done for Christ remain. Whether the door He opens is in ministry, in marketing where you have experience, or in another solid field you are willing to take, pray that He will place you where you can labor with honesty, provide for yourself, and serve Him.
I have prayed for you in this way: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son through whom alone is salvation, look upon Your servant in this time of need. You know his need for work and for daily bread. Open a door to decent and stable employment, and give him favor with those who are hiring. Grant him wisdom and strength in each interview, peace to his heart while he waits, and provision for his financial needs. Keep him from discouragement and help him to trust Your providence, to walk uprightly, and to use whatever gifts You have given him for Your glory. Provide what is needful and lead him to the place where he can best serve You and others. Amen.
Continue to seek diligently, to pray, and to do what is right before God. He is faithful to care for His own, and He will not forsake you as you trust in Him.
