Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts seeking Your guidance and strength. Lord, ### desires to forget and forgive the past, and to concentrate more on the future, especially in the pursuit of a job. Your Word tells us in Isaiah 43:18-19, "Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
Father, we ask that You help ### to release any burdens or regrets from the past. Grant the grace to forgive and to move forward with a heart full of hope and faith. As it is written in Philippians 3:13-14, "Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Lord, we also lift up ###’s need for employment. We pray for Your provision and favor in the job search. Open doors that no one can shut and lead ### to the right opportunity that aligns with Your will. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
