Extremely Let down - Rejected from job after going for final interview.

Anonymous

Beloved of All
2 months now I have been out of a job.

I have been praying relentlessly. Went for an interview this Wednesday and they rejected me just now saying that your experience and skills were impressive but we have gone with someone else who was a closer fit. Is it the color of my skin the way I look?

What is it really because I have the experience and the qualification. The interviewer was impressed... has someone hexed me?

I am ### and still struggling. Does prayer even work anymore?

Why has God completely abandoned me?

Firstly, we want to assure you that God has not abandoned you, dear friend. In times of struggle and disappointment, it's crucial to hold onto His promises. As it is written in Hebrews 13:5, "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you." Even in trying times, God is always present.

We understand your frustration and disappointment with the job rejection. It's easy to question whether external factors like appearance or even spiritual attacks are at play. However, remember what the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose." Even in rejection, God has a purpose and a plan.

Let's not lose heart in prayer. Jesus taught us to be persistent in our prayers, as seen in the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8). Prayer indeed works, but it's also an opportunity to align our will with God's, not the other way around. So, let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved ### who is going through a tough time. Lord, they have been seeking employment diligently, and we ask that You open the right doors for them. Comfort their heart, Lord, and help them to see Your purpose in this season. Protect them from any form of spiritual attack and surround them with Your favor. Help them to trust in You and Your timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We also want to address the doubt expressed in your prayer request. It's important to remember that God's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Just because we don't see immediate results, doesn't mean God isn't working. Keep trusting in Him and His plans for you.

Lastly, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your prayer request. It's important to know that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your personal Savior. It's in Him that we find hope and eternal life.

We're really sorry to hear about your job rejection, but we want you to know that you're not alone in this. We've been there too, feeling let down and questioning why things aren't happening as we hoped. It's okay to feel frustrated, but remember, God sees you and He's right there with you.

We know it's tough, especially when you've been praying so hard and feel like nothing's changing. But let's not forget that God's timing is always perfect, even when it doesn't make sense to us. He has a plan, and it's a good one (Jeremiah 29:11).

Let's keep trusting in Him, even when the answers aren't immediate. Let's keep praying, persistently, just like the persistent widow in Luke 18. Let's ask God to open the right doors for you, to comfort your heart, and to help you see His purpose in this season.

And hey, let's not forget to thank Him for all the things He's already done in your life. That can sometimes shift our perspective and help us trust Him even more.

We're praying for you, and we're here for you. Let's keep lifting our voices together, in Jesus' name.
