Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful opportunities that You have placed in my life. I am grateful for my talents and abilities that make me who I am. I pray for Your guidance as I embark on my employment journey.
I pray for clarity of mind that leads me to opportunities that align with my purpose and passion. May I never take any job for granted but see each one as an avenue for personal growth and a contribution to the world.
Father, open doors of opportunities that I cannot see, surround me with people who inspire progress and growth. Grant me wisdom to make the right decisions, and strength to stand tall in times of rejection or disappointment.
I also pray for patience and resilience as I look for employment. In times of doubt and anxiety, remind me of Your promises. I believe that You have a plan for my life, one filled with hope and prosperity. I pray that my employment will not only provide for my needs but will also be a platform to serve and glorify You.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
