A job hunt can be very frustrating. Getting countless rejection letters is normally a stressful period for anyone. For a fresh graduate searching for a job can be an ordeal since most organizations are looking for experienced people who can hit the ground running and not incur any training costs.
For older people, an employment search can be equally as grueling because you may not get the level of salary you were on at your last job. Well God wants us to find work for our hands.
Prayers for employment put you in tune with the spirit and open your spiritual eye. It strengthens your faith in God’s ability to open opportunities and doors for you in places where you can fit in and realize your full potential. Think about what you are good at and also where you can thrive by using the knowledge or experience you have acquired.
Instead of stressing out and giving up spend your spare time with God and talk to him about what you need. Tell him to show you the right doors to knock. Be confident in yourself and your abilities. See yourself filling a particular hole or need in an organization and doing it in excellence. Prepare yourself well and feel the strength of God within you.
Ecclesiastes 11:6 teaches us to not be idle and give up because we do not know when the opportunity arrives. Put yourself out there and do not be pessimistic. With God by your side, the right doors will open for you. Keep knocking and keep trying and show persevering faith and your chance will come.

Prayers for employment are meant to enhance your spiritual walk with God during your job hunt. God speaks to us every day and he will point you in the right direction with whispers in your ears.
He talks to you when you are feeling discouraged or tired. He prompts you when you are about to say something inappropriate. He cautions you and teaches you throughout your journey. He is that voice in your head. Start with him and he will end with you.
