Read:Philippians 4:19, Colossians 3:23-24 & Ephesians 6:7
Dear Heavenly Father,
I praise You as our provider! Without You...we would have nothing!
No Life...No Job... No Income... No Food on the table... and much more that we would not have. Help us to keep this in mind if we're prone to complain specifically about our jobs.
I thank You and praise You for providing work for us to do so we can earn a living and give back from the first fruits of our labor to build Your Kingdom.
I thank You even for the jobs that You've provided but things aren't going great for us and we may even be stressed out at times or less than excited about what we're doing for work or going through at work. You are there with us and will bring us through.
I pray that You'd provide meaningful work for us to do and give us the desires of our hearts to be able to make a good living doing what we enjoy and while we sometimes have to wait for that...that You'd continue to provide us with a good income no matter what it is You've given us to do.
Not that we are worthy or deserving, please help receive and have favor always with our employers and if at all possible that they'd treat us well as our superiors. May they value the contributions we make and may that see the hard work we put it. May they seek to help us have a true life/work balance.
Help us Father to be content but at the same time not become complacent in what we're doing rather, help us to listen for Your Holy Spirit's leading if it's time to move elsewhere to a place you've also prepared for us.
Even when we don't receive recognition, even when we aren't valued or are undervalued, may we remember who we ultimately do our work for! (Colossians 3:23-24 & Ephesians 6:7)
Help us to not get too discouraged and please help us to continue to press on as we seek to be the best employees for Your glory as well as our good.
No matter what - I ask that You provide and bless us with continuous employment...however, if there are times where there are gaps in our employment, may You continue to supply for all of our needs. Help us to trust You all the more knowing you have a plan for us!
I especially pray for those unemployed right now that You'd help them have extra faith, hope and trust.
I pray that You minister to them and bless them in a special way.
I pray that You give them the desires of their heart by providing good employment where they are able to do something they enjoy and are passionate about and are compensated well! Please cast out all discouragement in their lives Father.
Father, whether we're employed or underemployed, help us to cling to You at all times knowing that You're always at work and always have been to provide for Your children.
Where there's discouragement may You insert Your Hope and Encouragement.
Please also provide us with Your wisdom and direction always.
May it be clear to all the employed, underemployed and those who are witnesses that You're mighty hand is in and over all things!
In Jesus Name I praise You and Thank you, Amen.
Blessings in Christ,
