Prayer for a Job

My Lord, my Creator, I believe you have a purpose for every human life. I believe you want all your children to achieve complete fulfilment by making the best of the gifts you’ve given us. You’ve endowed each of us with a unique set of talents and abilities that we can use for your glory. So many times we miss opportunities. So many times, our talents are wasted. So many times, we are in the wrong place doing the wrong things.

But from now on, I surrender everything to you and I ask you to take care of my life. Search my heart. Help me discover what I’m good at and make me grow in the things I do best. Give me the opportunity to fulfil my potential and to use my talents and abilities for the glory of your name and the benefit of other people.

By surrendering my whole life and being to you, I also surrender you my needs, which you know very well. Give me a way to fill them through honest work and commitment. Bring together in harmony my interests and the interests of the people I work for, so that we can all gain from what we’re doing. Let no one be exploited, but teach us to be kind and honest to one another and co-exist in peace and love.

My Lord, I put my prayer and my wish before you. Help me find a job in which I can make the best of what I am and I can do. But not my will, but yours be done. You know better what’s right for me and when is the right time for everything. Complete the great work you’ve started in my life.

AMEN
