Prayer: Heavenly Father, in this job search, I will remember that, as my Creator, You know what I am best suited for in my employment. Sometimes I am overwhelmed because there are so many different jobs out there! I'm not sure what would be a good fit for my skills and talents. I don’t want to spin my wheels nor waste my time applying for jobs that are not a good fit for me. I ask You, Lord, Who knows my end from my beginning, to guide me by Your Spirit. If there are jobs I have applied for that are not for me, keep those doors closed. I know that the job suited for me is out there. Show me where to look, who to speak to, and how to gain access to those positions. What You have for me is just for me. I know that You are able to open doors for me that no man and no demon can keep shut.

Thank You in advance for helping me, for loving me, fixing me, equipping me, and qualifying me. Prepare me for the beauty, the blessings, and fullness of abundant life that You said I can have. I can do all things through Christ who is my strength, and  I am emerging victorious! Thank You for moving on my behalf. May You get all the glory!  In the name of Jesus, Amen.
