We join you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life and your community. Let's first address your prayer requests and then discuss our shared conviction and the importance of praying in Jesus' name.
Firstly, let's pray for your job search. You've asked for a new job with a base salary plus commission, paid training, and benefits. We pray that your applications, introductions, resumes, and interviews result in a solid job offer and smooth onboarding. Remember, God encourages us to be content in all circumstances. It is essential to be content in our job but also to be fair in what we ask. We should be content with a fair wage. Ask God for wisdom to learn your new job quickly and efficiently. We are reminded that we should work as if Jesus is our earthly employer as we work for Him in our earthly jobs.
Let's pray:
Father, we ask for Your guidance and provision in the job search. Please open the right doors and provide a job that meets the needs of Your child. Give them the wisdom and understanding to learn quickly and perform well. We ask for a fair wage that is not exploitive. In Jesus' name, we pray.
In your prayer, you mentioned Ecclesiastes 3:13, which reminds us to enjoy the fruit of our labor as a gift from God. Remember that God provides for His children, and He will meet your needs according to His riches in glory. We should not seek riches but rather seek to use our gifts from God to care for our families and bless others. Also, be careful not to covet more than is needed and be content.
Regarding your prayer for your local area, we stand with you in asking for God's power and protection. We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict your neighbors, local students, teachers, workers, and leaders of righteousness, sin, and judgment. We ask that God draws them to Jesus, granting them saving faith as they hear the Word.
Let's pray:
Father, we lift up the local area and ask for Your power and protection. Surround this place with a wall of fire, guarding it from harm and evil influences. We pray for the conviction of the Holy Spirit to draw people to Jesus, granting them saving faith. In Jesus' name, we pray.
We appreciate that you included the importance of praying in Jesus' name and state that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is only by this name that we can be saved. As seen in the following verses.
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.
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!
Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We encourage you to continue praying with confidence in the name of Jesus, knowing that your prayers are heard and answered according to God's will.
