Prayer for a Job Interview
Attending an interview can be a stressful experience. Thankfully we have a God who promises to never desert us or abandon us, and offers us a peace that "surpasses all understanding" (Phil 4:7). This page contains three prayers that you can say before entering the interview room, and a short film you can watch to help calm your mind and receive this precious gift of peace. If you have a relative or friend who is currently seeking work, there are also specific prayers for husbands/boyfriends and daughters/sons. You may wish to say a simple prayer after the job interview has taken place, and there is also a powerful prayer in the bible (the famous "Prayer of Jabez") which you can use to ask for a job offer.

A Prayer For A Job Interview
(a short prayer to say before the interview)Dear Lord,
Help me to give of my best today in this interview.
Wrap me in your loving arms when I feel insecure.
Hold me in your steady embrace when I feel nervous.
Help me to understand the questions I am asked,
And answer in a honest and inspired way.
In the interview, I pray you would show me if this is the right job for me.
I am your servant and I seek to do your will on this earth.
Lead me in your paths and guide me into all truth.
I ask all this in the beautiful name of Jesus
My Saviour and friend.
Amen.

Prayer for Job interview for my Husband or Boyfriend
Heavenly Father, you walk with us daily and know the intricacies of our situation, our financial needs and our hopes and dreams. We ask now that you would open new doors of stable employment for my husband/ partner. Lord, may you lead him into the right work where he can use all his existing skills and knowledge to serve others and earn money. Please protect him from any employment which would only bring stress and difficulty, or just be there for the short term. Lord, we trust that you will lead him to a safe, secure, and fulfilling career. Please watch over our finances as we navigate this uncertain time. Come protect our relationship, and help us to work as a team. Lord, we commit all we have to you - our home and possessions, our skills and talents, our hearts and our minds. We rest in your provision now in Jesus’ name. Amen.
