5 Prayers For Employment and Financial Breakthrough

Sometimes life gets hard and debts accrue, when this happens it may be time to pray for financial breakthrough. We exercise our faith mostly when we go through trials that force us to rely on God. Employment and financial challenges can be some of the most faith-building seasons in our life because God has an opportunity to reveal Himself as a provider, promise-keeper, and Father. Just think about the story of Job. He was wealthy, led a holy lifestyle, and walked in righteousness…the Bible says he was blameless before God. When God allowed the enemy to touch his circumstances pulling his wealth, family and even his health, Job maintained his position before God.

When we go through trials that weigh on our souls there is typically a holier level of living that God desires for us to reach. The process may not always be fun but it will be worth it. As you are patiently waiting on The Lord to turnaround your financial situation, it’s important to cultivate an active prayer life. Continue to keep a dialogue going with God regarding His purpose and plan for your life. Don’t bury yourself in depression or resign your identity to a position. Instead, let your identity rest in the Almighty God. Here are five prayers to condition Your heart to petition The Lord for breakthrough and financial turnaround.

"According to Your Riches and Glory."

You are not a God of lack, who lives in poverty in need of anything from anyone. God everything is Yours. All resources belong to You to distribute as You wish. Father, in my heart I know that You have my best interest at hand. Help me to walk in step with The Holy Spirit as I wait for this season to shift. Father, I will not worry while I wait. I repeat, I will not work while I wait. I will instead enjoy the spiritual art of contentment with a thankful heart, trusting in a Heavenly Father who provides for His children out of His abundance riches. Thank You Father for Your generosity and making sure I’m well taken care of. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

"Hedge of Protection."

Holy Father, please keep a hedge of protection around me and my family. Father please continue to open doors of employment that no man can close and close doors that are not consistent with Your perfect will for my life. I trust in Your ability to select the best path for my life because You know me better than anyone else. Father, protect the home and property that you’ve allowed me to steward. Keep my heart always consumed with you and not worldly possessions. As You continue to bless me, I will continue to be a blessing to others no matter what season I go through just as Job trusted you with all he had, I too say “Though He may slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
