    Father, in Jesus’ Name, I seek Your wisdom and trust You to direct me in seeking the job that is best for me. I will walk in mercy and truth and lean not unto my own understanding. Thank You for opening wide a door which no man can shut and for giving me favor.
    It is my desire, Father, to be debt-free and owe no man anything except to love him, according to Your Word. I am willing to work with my own hands, so that I lack nothing. I praise You that it is Your will that I am self-sufficient financially and have an abundance to meet all of my needs, with enough left over to give generously to others.
    I will not fret or have anxiety about anything, Father, for Your peace mounts guard over my heart and mind. Because You are my source, I have confidence, comfort and encouragement in Your provision. I thank You, Father, for supplying my need of employment according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Amen

    SHARING. . .

    No one wants to fail. No one wants to make mistakes or to suffer setbacks or to be anything less than their very best. Yet the truth is – we do fail. We do make mistakes. We aren’t perfect. I love the quote that says – “Failure doesn’t have to be final.” Just because we’re down, we don’t have to stay down. By the grace of God we can start over again – and again – and again – and again

    As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. —John 9:5

    Jesus said, “While I have been here, the kingdom has been here, and light has been shining in darkness. I’m leaving soon, but don’t worry. I’m going to light candlesticks that will shine into the darkness, decadence and degradation. Even though darkness presses in around them, it cannot extinguish their light.”

    You say, “I don’t have a dollar to change.” What an opportunity for your light to shine! The doctors say you will not live much longer. What an opportunity to burn brightly! “I lost my job.” What an opportunity! When things are darkest in your life, you have the opportunity to shine the most brightly for Jesus. Refuse to give your attention to the dark areas in your life. Look to the Light—Jesus Christ—who dispels all darkness and lights your life as a powerful witness for Him.

    Lord Jesus, You have made me a candle to light the darkness of this world. Help me to embrace the nightfall so I can shine through the darkness, shedding Your light in the hearts of the lost and drawing them into the brightness of Your presence. Amen.

    Father God in Heaven I pray today that you will be me as I take this assessment for the new job positions that I have applied for. You know my financial situation and that I need this new job position if it is your will. Bless that the job will be one of great compensation with good benefits and I will be able to help my family out as well. I claim this in Jesus name. Amen

    YOU HAVE BEEN A HELPER TO OTHERS, AND YOU HAVE MADE FEEBLE HANDS STRONG.

    I personally have experienced through last 3 years very hard and struggling time in my life. I had lost my job and undergone the ups and down of searching for new job opportunity during this spiraling downward economy. I recently accepted a temporary position that does not align with my prior work experience, but I am bless to placed back in the workforce. Regardless, this may not be where I want to be right now for employment, but God is Good and he has bless with this opportunity.  I have been fortunately to be granted several job interviews during endless job search, but the job opportunities resulted in rejection letters,  no responses to follow-ups or sometimes no correspondence was ever received no matter how many follow-up calls or e-mails were sent. I have made every effort to network as much as possible, But I thank you Lord for your goodness and mercy. I thank you Lord for being so good to me and loving me. I love you Lord with all my heart. There are times, I will admit I was feeling very down, depressed, and even suffered physically as a result of the stress and worry. And yet through it all I heard the voice of God saying “Trust me. I know what is best for you”.

    I asked God to show me the way I needed to go, to show me what decisions to make, what to do.

    And through it all I even felt a little betrayed, a little as if God had let me down. But He never did. Today my problems remain better than they were yesterday. I can now stand before God and say “Thank you. Thank you for giving me the strength to face these trials, and the faith to believe that You know best.”

    And do you know the most amazing thing? When I was at my worst period, when all I could think about were my own problems, I was forced time and again to look around me at other people, at those who are suffering, worried, in trouble, in need, and I realized then that my troubles were a mere nothing in the greater scheme of things, that there are people who more than ever before need MY strength and help, MY guidance. It was almost as if God was saying “Yes, you are suffering, but there are others worse off than you, and I need you to help me to hold those others up. Don’t get weak on me now!”

    You may ask yourself “How can I help others when I myself am so down, in need of help and guidance”? And the simple answer is that you can, by asking God to give you the strength to do it. But holding out your hand to someone else in need, you are strengthening yourself too, through God’s love and support. It’s almost like a circle of strength, each one holding another, and so on in turn. The circle of love, God’s love for us, is complete and encompassing. Through one-another we can pass on this love, and so lighten the burden for others, as God would want of us. It needn’t be a huge thing; do something today for someone else, even the smallest act of kindness will be magnified by God. Stretch out your hand and lift up someone who is old, weak, sick, in trouble, worried, and you will be sure that God Himself will have His own hand around yours helping you along.

    God will not let you fall. God will not let you fail. Be strong in your faith today, and let God use you to bless someone else’s life, just as I pray to be able to bless yours. Trust me, this battle is the Lord’s.

    “everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil, this is the gift of God.” Ecc.3:13

    We pray that God will meet the needs of those without work in a way that they can clearly thank God for His provision; that they will soon find meaningful employment and glorify God for it; that God will open the way for righteous trade so that the entire state prospers. AMEN!

    Lord Jesus you have all provision. You are my source. Let this be realized in my life this day. I don’t know why everything dries up. All the work, all the bank accounts and external security are gone. I have a few pennies on my dresser and some rice. You know these things. Let me be strong in your Word and in your supernatural provision. Thank you for this opportunity to have nothing else to rely upon except your still presence.

    Break these mountains and blockages by your power. Debt, silence, job loss and personal economic collapse. I speak breakthrough in faith right now. Favor, unexpected opportunities and economic restoration.

    Heavenly Father, in Jesus Christ Holy Name, I pray Your Word over my finances and I thank You for manifesting Your Word in my life according to:
    Luke 6:38 – “As I give, it is given to me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.”
    2 Corinthians 9:8 – “My God makes all grace abound toward me in every favor and earthly blessing, so that I have all sufficiency for all things and I abound to every good work.”
    Deuteronomy 28: 1-14 – “I am blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed coming in, and blessed going out, my laying down, my rising up. I am blessed in the basket and blessed in my bank accounts, investments, health, and relationships; they flourish. The blessings of the Lord overtake me in all areas of my life and I receive them.”
    Psalm 1:3 – “I am like a tree planted by rivers of water. I bring forth fruit in my season, my leaf shall not wither, and whatever I do shall prosper.”
    Proverbs 10:22 - “The blessings of the Lord makes truly rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.”
    Deuteronomy 28: 8 and 12 – “The Lord has opened to me His good treasure and blessed the work of my hands. He has commanded the blessing upon me in my storehouse and all that I undertake.”
    Deuteronomy 8:18,11:12 – “God delights in my prosperity. He gives me power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant upon the earth.”
    Numbers 13:30, 2 Peter 1:3-4 – “God has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness, and I am well able to possess all that God has provided for me.”
    Psalms 37:4 - “I delight myself in the Lord, and He gives me the desires of my heart.”
    Malachi 3:10-11 “The Lord rebukes the devourer for my sake, and no weapon that is formed against me will prosper. All obstacles and hindrances to my prosperity are no dissolved.”
    Psalms 23:1, John 10:10 - “The Lord is my shepherd, and I do not want. Jesus came that I might have life and have it more abundantly.”
    Amen. In Jesus Name.

    There is breakthrough. There is hope. There is more coming and help is on the way.

    Heavenly Father,

    Sometimes I feel weak as I face challenges in my career, disappointments about job prospects, and despair that I will never find the work that fits my purpose in life. I know you are my strength. Fill me with your joy and peace. I know the joy of the Lord is my strength! (Nehemiah 8:10) In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen

    Heavenly Father,

    Help me to forget the negative things that happened last couple of years. Give me strength to not dwell on mistakes and failures from past couple of years. God, I thank You for doing a “new thing” in me in this New Year. I believe that you will give me the grace to make small changes that will lead to advances in my career and promotion in my entire lifestyle. I believe that You will make rivers and streams in the wilderness and deserted places in my life. Isaiah 43:18-19 In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
