Hello brothers & sisters,

I am new here & am desperately searching for prayer regarding the waiting period I am in right now regarding a job offer.

I interviewed 4 days ago for my dream job. I have been pursuing this for 3 years and got to the final stage and final interview. I’m a full time fireman & this would be with my dream department. This would come with a higher pay which would allow me to quit 1 of my part time jobs (I have 2 part time jobs). I overwork myself and I feel this opportunity would free up time I could then spend with family, friends and ministry.

I’m full of anxiety, in replaying my interview over and over in my head thinking I could have done so much better. I’m fully aware the enemy is attacking me right now so prayer for peace would be appreciated. I am also asking prayer for God to open doors, but obviously that His will be done and not the desires of my sinful heart. I’m just struggling with being stuck in my head, negative thinking & beating myself up on how I interviewed.

None of this changes that God sent his only son Jesus to take the full wrath of my sin- which I am forever grateful for. I know my purpose is not found in a job or title but in Christ. Thank you for listening and praying. God bless.

Your brother, with love.
-Drew

Yes Lord we pray for our brother Drew Conrad. Please grant him this position. Move the hearts of the the interviewers and the persons hiring in his favor for this position. Help him as he waits the answer. We pray for this to happen, or unless you have something better Lord. Give your peace and grace in dealing with all this. In Jesus name, Amen.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Phl 4:6-7 NIV]

Father, let Drew rest in you trusting and believing that it's your will be done. Then when the job comes through he knows you are in it. Let it be so in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen

Anxiety is not from God and fear certainly isn't.

I thought I did horrible when interviewing for my current job, and they offered me a position that was even higher than the one I interviewed for. We are our own worst critics, so don't worry about it. You got this, because with God, all things are possible. Keep us updated.

Yes I have had my share of that myself in the past and am adding you to my new prayer list for the job etc. And I'm looking for the door opening thing or wisdom for myself as well etc. I'm in one of those situations where I'm hoping to reinvent myself in getting something better than the usual survival jobs of my past.


When it comes to my own anxiety, I sometimes like to listen to a few specific sermons that deal with life's trials etc. This is my favorite one that I highly recommend to people.




I also love good Christian chant music. In English, Armenian, Aramaic/Syriac, Coptic or Slavonic. And I tend to chant a bit myself. The music and the activity really drives away anxiety, makes you more focused, peaceful etc. and is a good spiritual discipline etc. when in English or you understand what the exact lyrics mean in the the various holy languages.
