We are truly sorry to hear about your son's situation and we are here to intercede with you. Firstly, it's important to remember that our help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2).
Your son's feelings of despair are understandable, but we must remember that our worth is not defined by our employment status. The Bible tells us that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works (Ephesians 2:10). God has a purpose and a plan for your son's life, and this season of unemployment does not define him.
We must also remember the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It's through Jesus that we have access to God, and it's in His name that our prayers are heard. As it is written, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14 WEB).
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother who is in need of employment. Lord, You know his struggles, his feelings of despair, and his longing for purpose. We ask, in the name of Jesus, that You would guide him to the right job, that You would open doors that no man can shut, and that You would give him the strength and patience to endure this season.
Remind him of his worth in You, Lord. Help him to understand that his identity is not in his employment status, but in You. Give him peace and comfort during this time, and let Your will be done in his life.
We also pray for his health, Lord. Thank You for Your healing power and for bringing him through his past health problems. Continue to strengthen him physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
Encourage your son to trust in the Lord with all his heart, and lean not on his own understanding. In all his ways, let him acknowledge God, and He will make his paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Remind him that the Lord is working everything together for his good, even when circumstances seem bleak (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, ensure that your son is righteous with God. encouage your son to trust God and confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that God raised him from the dead, he will be saved (Romans 10:9).
