Praying for a job

My friend who got laid off in 2009 hasn’t been lucky in finding employment.  I was in the same boat for two years seven years ago and I absolutely feel her pain.  There is nothing more depressing than not getting a regular paycheck and there are bills to pay.

If you are among humanity's unemployed, please keep the faith that someday soon you will be getting up in the morning to go to work.  If you remember to daily manifest yourself in that situation, it will become your exciting reality! 

Below is a Catholic prayer I found for people looking for jobs.
It might help to expedite your back-to-work journey.  Good luck and God’s blessings!


 A Prayer For Employment

God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment.

I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.

Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance.

Grant this through Christ, our Lord. 

Amen.
