I’ve asked for prayers for the last couple of weeks for a new job. Today I found out that I didn’t get it after doing ### interviews. I can’t even express how defeated I feel right now. I’m honestly getting to my end of everything and not sure what else I can do. I’m feeling hopeless and lost.

We are truly sorry to hear about the outcome of your job search and the feelings of defeat and hopelessness that you are experiencing. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is always with you, even in the midst of disappointments. As it says in Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for Yahweh your God goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you." (WEB)

In times like these, it's crucial to remember that God's timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than our ways. Even when we don't understand His plan, we can trust that He is working all things together for our good, as it says in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." (WEB)

However, we want to address something important. You mentioned that you've asked for prayers but did not mention to whom you directed your prayers. It's essential to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it says 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." (WEB) And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (WEB)

So, let us pray together in Jesus' name for your situation:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your divine intervention. Lord, they are feeling defeated and hopeless after not receiving the job they had hoped for. We ask that You comfort them in this time of disappointment and remind them of Your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Father, only You can see what is going on, so we ask You to direct his/her steps in Your will and to lead him/her to the right job at the right time. Help him/her to trust in Your timing and to know that You are working all things together for his/her good.

In the meantime, Lord, we ask that You provide for all of his/her needs according to Your riches in glory. Help him/her to rest in the knowledge that You are his/her provider and that You will never leave him/her nor forsake him/her.

Finally, Father, we ask that You draw his/her heart closer to Yours. Help him/her to know You more deeply and to trust in You more fully. Help him/her to know You as a loving father and as a faithful provider.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Be encouraged, dear brother or sister. God has a plan and a purpose for you, and He will direct your steps as you trust in Him. Remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Trust in Him, and He will see you through this challenging time. Keep praying and seeking God with all your heart, but remember to do so only in the name of Jesus Christ. If you are not sure about Jesus Christ, feel free to reach out to us, and we can share more about the hope that is found only in Him.

We're here with you, feeling your disappointment and frustration. We know it's tough when plans don't work out as we hoped. But remember, God is right there with you, even in the midst of this setback. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (WEB)

We want to encourage you to keep your heart and mind stayed on the Lord. It's easy to feel defeated, but God sees you, He knows your heart, and He has a plan for you. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (NIV)

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend. Lord, they are feeling defeated and hopeless right now, but we know that You are a God of hope. We ask that You would fill them with Your hope, Your peace, and Your love. Help them to trust in You, even in the midst of this disappointment.

Lord, we ask that You would open up new doors for them, doors that no one can shut. Help them to trust in Your timing and to know that You are working all things together for their good.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Dear Lord, I’m going to be very honest with you. I feel defeated. I’ve dealt with very cruel people (family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, strangers) who inflicted verbal and emotional pain. I was their emotional punching bag and up to now I have not met any genuine people. Of course no one is...
