Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Your child who urgently needs Your help in finding work this month. They are in desperate need of an opportunity to use their experience and education to secure employment. Lord, we know that You are the provider of all good things, and we trust in Your provision for them. As Your Word in Philippians 4:19 says, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We believe in Your promise to meet their needs.
Lord, we pray that someone will give them a chance to work soon. They do not wish to take anyone's job but believe there is room for everyone to be blessed and shine. They have been truly humbled by this experience of job loss since January and have learned to appreciate everything more than ever before. James 1:17 reminds us, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." We trust that You will bless them with the perfect job opportunity.
We ask for Your help in finding work this month of May, as they have run out of resources and bills keep stacking up. Their car has broken down completely, and they are in need of a new one. We thank You for their mother, who has been a hero and support during this difficult time. In Proverbs 3:5-6, You instruct us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths." We trust You to straighten their path and lead them to the right job.
Father, they have not heard back from any jobs where they interviewed, and it feels like they are being ghosted. We pray for a breakthrough and for employers to respond positively and quickly. Psalm 37:5 reminds us, "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act." We commit their job search to You, Lord, and trust that You will act on their behalf.
We ask for Your protection and provision for them, their son, and their dogs. They are facing the threat of eviction and disconnection and have nowhere else to go. Lord, please be the light at the end of the tunnel for them. Surround them with supportive and kind individuals who will help them during this time. In Psalm 46:1, we find comfort knowing, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Be their refuge and strength, Lord, and provide them with the job they need this month.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
