I remember the season when I was desperately searching for a job. I sent out countless applications, tailored my résumé over and over, and walked into interviews with trembling hope—only to be met with silence afterwards. The waiting was painful, and at times, I felt invisible. But it was in that place of uncertainty that I discovered the power of prayer. Prayer reminded me that even when employers overlooked me, God never did. He is the One who promises to order our steps and provide for all our needs.
This is why I’ve written these powerful prayers for employment and job seeking—to give you words of faith and encouragement when the search feels overwhelming.
