A Prayer for Employment
Scripture Reading
Psalm 48, Psalm 1
Praise and Worship
Awesome Father, we thank You for providing employment for us, Your children. Thank You for sustaining those who need a financial breakthrough. Thank You for helping them daily. Thank You, for being our source and our supply. Holy and righteous is Your name. You are a great God, and a great King above all other gods. You are our God, and we are the people of Your pasture, and the flock under Your care. Lord, You are the Creator of the heavens and the earth. You are our strength and shield, and we trust in You. You help us, and our hearts are filled with joy. We burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
Praying God’s Will
Holy Father, it is Your will that Your children live healthy, productive, happy, and balanced lives. We confess that as those people who are seeking employment place their trust in You and do good, they will live safely in the land and prosper. Then they will find favor with both You and men, and they will earn a good reputation. Lord, we declare that they will trust in You with all their hearts, and not depend on their own understanding. They will seek Your will in all that they do, and we believe that You will show them which path to take. In Jesus’ name, we command the doors of employment to open for our unemployed. We declare that when they receive employment, they will work as if You are their direct supervisor.
Praying the Request
Righteous Father, help those who are unemployed to prepare for their new job. Send people who will consult with them on how to prepare a resume, how to dress, and how to prepare for an interview. Remind them that because they trust in You, they will not lack any good thing. Holy Spirit, please help them not to grow discouraged or frustrated, but help them to continue to remain hopeful and expect their breakthrough to come forth. Father, some need a miracle right now. Please help them. Holy Spirit, for those who have a poor work ethic, help them to improve. Erase any negative perception caused by past work experiences. Holy Spirit, help stretch their income until employment is found.
Praying for Forgiveness
Merciful Father, forgive those people who demonstrate a poor work ethic. Forgive them for being late, leaving early, and wasting time. Forgive those who have not paid their tithes and offerings or spent their money unnecessarily. Forgive those who have operated in arrogance, greed, lust, pride, and rebellion.
Praying for Protection
Holy Spirit, help those people who are seeking employment not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one.
Praise and Worship
Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations. Who can be compared to You? Who is Your equal? Lord, You are high above all nations. Your glory is above the heavens. Yours is the Kingdom, power, and glory forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.
