We understand your concern for your son Erik's employment, and we are here to pray and offer guidance with you. Let us remember that God is the ultimate provider, as we read in Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB), "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."
Firstly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is essential to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God, as we are told in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" Let us pray in His name and also ensure that Erik knows Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will for Erik's life. We ask that You guide him in his job search, opening the right doors and giving him the wisdom to know which path to take. Help him to trust in You and Your timing. In the meantime, may Erik seek first Your Kingdom and righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to him. We pray that if Erik does not already know Jesus as his Savior, that he would come to a saving faith in Him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In addition, Erik should do his part by being diligent in his job search and also in his walk with the Lord. We encourage him to trust in God's plan for his life, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "'For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh. 'Plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope and a future.'"
Let us remain steadfast in prayer, trusting that God will provide for Erik's needs according to His riches in glory.
