Who This Prayer Is For
This prayer is for anyone who has recently lost their job, been laid off, or is struggling with unemployment.

It’s for those who feel rejected by the job market, uncertain about their future career path, or anxious about making ends meet while searching for employment.
This Prayer is For You
Lord Jesus Christ,
I come before You with uncertainty about my future but certainty about Your faithfulness. Thank You for being my provider in every season of life. I praise You for the skills, talents, and abilities You have given me, and I trust that You will use them again. Even in unemployment, I am grateful for Your love that never changes and Your promises that never fail. You know the end from the beginning, and You have good plans for my career path.
Jesus, losing my job has shaken my confidence and filled me with worry about providing for my family. I feel rejected, uncertain, and afraid about the future. Help me not to take this personally or let it define my worth. Remind me that my identity comes from being Your child, not from my job title. Replace my anxiety about the future with trust in Your perfect timing. Show me that You can use even this setback for my good and Your glory.
Give me strength and wisdom as I search for new employment. Help me to present myself well in interviews and applications. Open doors that You want opened and close doors that would lead me away from Your will. Grant me favor with potential employers and help me to find work that not only pays the bills but also gives me purpose and satisfaction. May I be a light for You in whatever workplace You place me.
Protect my family from the stress and worry of this unemployment. Provide for our daily needs while I search for work. Help me to be a good steward of our resources during this lean time. Keep us from making decisions based on fear or desperation. Surround us with friends and family who can offer both practical help and emotional support. Guard our relationships from the strain that financial pressure can bring.
I place my career, my job search, and my family’s provision entirely in Your hands, Lord. I trust that You will lead me to the right opportunity at the right time. Use this season to grow my faith, to teach me new skills, or to redirect my path according to Your will. This day belongs to You, and I commit to seeking You first, knowing that all other things will be added unto me.
