A Prayer for a Job

Lord, I have lost count of the applications I have sent into the silence, and every unanswered one chips at me a little, until I start to wonder what is wrong with me that no one says yes.

I confess the rejection has gone deeper than my bank account. It has started telling me lies about my worth, as if a paycheck were the measure of whether I matter.

So I turn to You, the One who knew me before I drew a breath and called me good before I ever earned a thing. My value was settled long before any interview.

Open the right door. Lead me to work that fits the hands You gave me, where I can provide and contribute and stand a little taller. Give me favor in the room and the words when it counts.

Your word says You have plans for me, plans for good and not for harm, to give me a future and a hope. Let me trust that even this waiting is inside Your plan.

I release my timeline and my pride to You. Walk me to the place that has my name on it, in Your good time. Amen.
