Employment
Father, in
Jesus’ name, we believe and confess Your Word over our friends and
family members who are looking for jobs, knowing that You watch over
Your Word to perform it. You are their exceeding great Hope. Your
desire is that they prosper and be in health even as their souls
prosper. Father, You are the Source of every consolation, comfort,
and encouragement. Holy Spirit, give them great courage and
strengthen them as they send out their resumes and go out looking
for jobs.
Your children
work in quietness, earning food and other necessities. They continue
in well-doing without weakening. Applying themselves to good deeds —
to honest labor and honorable employment — they are able to meet
necessary demands.
Father, You
know the record of their works and what they are doing. You will set
before __________ a door wide open, which no one is able to shut.
They fear not
[there is nothing to fear], for You are with them; they look around
with confidence without terror and dismay, for You are their God.
You will strengthen and harden them to difficulties, yes, You will
help them; yes, You will hold them up and retain them with Your
[victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
In Jesus they
have perfect peace and confidence and they are of good cheer, for
Jesus overcame the world and deprived it of its power to harm them.
They choose being peaceful and confident for Your peace, Father,
mount guard over their hearts and minds. They face every situation
with calmness and patience, for they are self-sufficient in Christ’s
sufficiency. Teach them during this period of trial to guard their
speech – remind them Holy Spirit to speak excellent and princely
things.
Your children
prize Your wisdom, Father, and acknowledge You. You direct, make
straight and plain their paths, and You promote them. Therefore,
Father, they are increasing in Your wisdom (in broad and full
understanding) and in stature and years and in favor with You,
Father, and with man! Amen.

Confess to one
another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your
offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may
be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The
earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes
tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. (James
5:14
AMP)
In the
meantime let us hold fast to our confession of faith, remembering
that our hope is strong, and “in every high and stormy gale, my
anchor holds within the veil.” (A Hymn of Grace, The Solid Rock by
Keith W. Ward)
When you pray
for others you have a Divine Helper here on earth (the Holy Spirit)
and you are partaking of the intercession of Jesus our High Priest.
