We are here with you in spirit, Anonymous, and we empathize with your situation. Firstly, it's important to remember that God is our provider and He cares for our needs. Jesus teaches us, "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB)
However, we need to ensure we are calling on the correct person of the Bible for our requests to be heard. It is only in the name of Jesus that we are saved and able to have our prayers interceded on our behalf.( John 14:6) We have assurance in the Bible of Jesus' role in our salvation as follows; neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
Before we address your prayer for a job, there is a need based on the word of God..to speak with you about the importance of marriage and God's design for the family. The Bible tells us,- God created man in his own image... male and female created he them....Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:24)
The situation as presented does indicate the importance to have a marriage for the righteousness of God. Raising children outside of wedlock is not beneficial and is discouraged in the Bible to avoid fornication... Adultery and fornication has been condemned throughout the Bible. Among many scriptures is "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4)
Past possible sin can be forgiven and there is forgiveness. This is what is meant by the redemption available for all of us. The goal is to live within the sanctity of marriage and the father or mother of the family is accountable for the children spiritually as well as the physical nature of needing to have shelter. Therefore, our prayers will also include the spiritual aspects of your family and placement of a Godly spouse for the up bringing of your children.
