We often assume that God is only interested in our spiritual lives and does not care about other aspects of our lives.
The truth is many of us don’t involve God in our job search. That’s perhaps why we don’t find it necessary to seek God’s intervention for the right employment.
Scripture tells us that God has given us all that pertains to life and godliness, not only all that pertains to godliness.
He cares for us, and it’s His will and joy that we prosper in all things, even as our souls prosper.
Are you seeking a job? Then you need to invite God into it. I have created prayers for job seekers in this article.
Pray for your employment with them, and you’ll definitely receive an answer because you’ll be praying according to God’s word.
