A prayer for employment

Heavenly Father,

You are my provider, the One who sustains me in every season. Today, I come before You, seeking Your guidance and provision as I search for employment. You know my needs, my worries, and the desires of my heart. Lord, open the right doors for me and lead me to the opportunity that aligns with Your will for my life.

Give me patience when the waiting feels long and perseverance when discouragement sets in. Strengthen my faith to trust that You are working even when I cannot see the way forward. Help me to use this time to grow, to seek You first, and to remain steadfast in hope.

Lord, bless the work of my hands and prepare me for the job You have for me. Grant me favor with employers, wisdom in my decisions, and confidence in the gifts and abilities You have given me. Provide for my needs and remind me that my worth is not in a title or paycheck but in being Your beloved child.

I trust You, Lord, and I place my future in Your hands. In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.

A prayer for those with thoughts of suicide

Heavenly Father,

I lift up to You those who are overwhelmed by despair, feeling lost, alone, and without hope. Lord, You see their pain, their silent cries, and the weight they carry. You know their deepest wounds and fears. In this moment, I ask that You surround them with Your love and remind them that their life is precious.

Break through the darkness with Your light, O God. Speak truth into the lies that tell them they are worthless or beyond help. Fill their hearts with Your peace, their minds with Your hope, and their souls with the assurance that they are not alone. Send people to walk with them, to listen, to love, and to remind them that there is still purpose and meaning in their lives.

Lord, hold them close. Give them the strength to reach out, the courage to keep going, and the faith to believe that better days will come. Let them know that You are with them, that they are seen, known, and deeply loved.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A prayer for depression

Heavenly Father,

I come before You, weary and burdened, struggling under the weight of this darkness. You are the God of all comfort, the One who sees every tear and knows every unspoken sorrow. Lord, in the midst of this heaviness, remind me that I am not alone.

Lift my spirit, O God, and fill my heart with Your peace. When my mind is clouded with despair, shine Your light into my soul. When hope feels distant, draw me close to You. Help me to rest in Your presence, knowing that You are my refuge and strength, even when I feel weak.

Give me the courage to reach out, the strength to hold on, and the faith to believe that joy will come again. Surround me with Your love and with people who will walk this journey with me. Let Your Word be my anchor, Your promises my foundation, and Your love my healing.

In the name of Jesus, who bore our sorrows and gives us peace, I pray.

Amen.

Prayer for When You’re Frustrated with Your Job

Lord, I come to You weary and frustrated, struggling with the challenges of my work. Help me to find patience in difficulty, wisdom in decision-making, and peace in the midst of stress. Remind me that I work not just for others, but ultimately for You. Give me the strength to persevere, the grace to handle frustrations well, and the faith to trust that You are guiding me through this season. Amen.

Psalm 145:8 prayer- When angry

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love. In moments when my heart is stirred with frustration or anger, help me to reflect Your patience and kindness. Teach me to be slow to anger, just as You are, responding with grace rather than wrath.

When I feel wronged, remind me of Your mercy. When I am tempted to react harshly, fill me with Your Spirit, that I may choose love over rage, peace over resentment. Let my words and actions reflect Your character, bringing healing instead of harm.

Lord, I surrender my emotions to You. Transform my heart so that even in difficult situations, I mirror Your grace and compassion. Thank You for Your unending love that covers my shortcomings and teaches me a better way.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
