A prayer before a job interview
Lord, You know this interview and You know me. Calm my nerves and clear my mind. Help me remember what I've prepared, speak honestly and listen well. Give me favor with the people I meet, and let Your peace show in me. Whatever happens, I trust that You are leading my steps. In Jesus' name, Amen.
A short prayer in the waiting room
Father, steady my heart. Give me the right words and a calm spirit. I place this in Your hands. Amen.
A prayer for the right job
Lord, I don't just want any job; I want the one You have for me. Open the right doors and close the wrong ones. If this is the place, let it be clear. If it isn't, give me peace and keep me hopeful. Provide for my needs as I wait. In Jesus' name, Amen.
A prayer after the interview
Lord, thank You for carrying me through today. I leave the result with You. Help me not to replay every answer or worry about what I can't change. I trust Your timing and Your care. Amen.
