Prayer For Finding A New Job
Heavenly Father, I want to lift up the many men and women who are seeking jobs in this very difficult economic climate and especially those that I know personally, who are finding such difficulty is securing a job.
Lord You are the One Who can know every sparrow that falls to the ground and You are the One Who knows the various needs of every job seeker. .. so open the doors of opportunity to those who are in need we pray, and particularly for those who have families to support, and who may be getting discouraged and depressed.
Look down in mercy on the many job seekers and may many use this difficulty that they are facing to be the cause of looking to You in faith trusting in You in a way that they have never done before. Be gracious we pray, in Jesus name,
Amen
Dear Lord, I thank You for my new job but I know that it is going to be very demanding as there is much to learn and less time that I would hope is being allowed for me to become as proficient as I would like.
I ask for Your grace and wisdom as I seek to come to terms with all the additional skills, training and expertise I need to acquire to become competent.
Help me to learn quickly and proficiently and may I find grace in the eyes of the management and may the quality of my work in this new job give a good Christian witness to my bosses and colleagues and be honouring to You this I ask in Jesus name,

Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You as I am looking for suitable employment, and pray that You will guide me as I try to look for vacant posts and apply for suitable positions.

Grant me wisdom as I start to write and apply for jobs, and I pray that I may find grace in the eyes of the employers.
Go before me I pray, and open wide the door through which You would have me travel, and please shut tight every door that is unsuitable in Your sight. Lead me Lord, along Your chosen path and may I be sensitive to Your voice saying, "This is the way, walk in it."
Amen.

I ask that in the near future You would find me a suitable job where I can use my skills, abilities, training and experience.

I thank You so much for the wonderful way that You opened up this job opportunity and answered my prayers in such a gracious and amazing way and thank You that You will be with me, every step of the way.
Help me to be well prepared both physically and mentally and Lord I pray that You would use me to be a blessing to others but I also know that going to a new job as a professing Christian may also have some difficulties. Give me grace to face any confrontations or prejudice. Praise Your holy name and may You be exalted in my new work, in Jesus name,

Loving Lord, we are living in a time of much need and economic hardship, and there are many today who are facing the shock of having lost their job, with little hope of securing a new position.
Father, this causes such deep emotional pressure and severe financial hardship at any time, but when the economic climate is so depressed, it has such a serious knock on effect on relationship with loved ones. Look down with pity I pray, on all that are having to come to terms with joblessness. Look on these people with compassion and in Your mercy, I pray that You will provide for their needs and secure for each one a new position.
Lord, I know that this can happen to any of us and none are exempt from such a devastating loss, but You have promised to supply all the needs of Your children, and I ask that in Your mercy You will supply all that is needful.
Bring good out of evil Lord, and may the loss of a job be the thing that draws each one into the arms of their Saviour. Save and supply the needs of all who are facing a future without a job I pray,
Amen.
