We are truly sorry to hear about your son's unemployment situation, but we are encouraged that he has had interviews and is moving through the hiring process. We will pray for his success but we will not pray for a specific outcome. We will pray for God's will to be done in this situation. Before we can pray for this request, we want to remind everyone that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is by Jesus' wounds that we are healed and forgiven. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. Ephesians 2:8 WEB.
Let us pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up this young man who is seeking employment and taking this assessment. He is probably anxious at this time. We know that no matter what happens that you are the source of all provision. Lord, we ask that your will be done in this situation. We do not ask for a specific outcome but would ask that your perfect will be done, you know what you have planned for this young man. We ask that you would comfort this young man in his anxiety and that you would make a way to be able to provide for himself. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
We encourage your son to trust in the Lord with all his heart, and not to lean on his own understanding. In all his ways, he should acknowledge God, and he will make his paths straight. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.
We encourage your son to work as if working for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord he will receive the inheritance as his reward. He is serving the Lord Christ. Bondservants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as people-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:22-24 WEB.
We also encourage your son to be patient and to wait for the Lord's timing. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
Finally, we remind everyone that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And in no other is there salvation, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB
