Job search is a topic relevant for every person. In the modern world, one cannot simply go into the field, into the forest and get food there, or cut logs to build a house. There is no way to "fill up the mammoth" otherwise than to earn money and buy what you need with them. Accordingly, every person who has matured and left parental care needs to earn money.
Of course, everyone strives to get a job with the highest possible payouts, a full social package, a “white” salary, a normalized clear schedule and not very difficult responsibilities. If the work activity also turns out to be interesting, promising and does not cause a feeling of boredom or internal protest, then such work, according to most people, is ideal.
In order to find just such a job, people are ready for a lot, including prayers. However, one often has to face the fact that thea prayer does not help the saints or the Lord himself, like all other ways of interacting with the energy space, but simply conspiracies, talismans and so on. Why is this happening? When should you pray for help, and when should you not?
Why doesn't prayer help?
There are a lot of reasons why the prayer “so that the employer takes it” does not help. They are usually hired not only by the impression the applicant makes at the interview, but also by taking into account his skills, experience, personal qualities, education and other similar factors. In other words, not a single prayer will help you sit in the chair of the director of an oil concern simply by coming from the street and having no education, except for school. This means that success requires not only prayers, but also claims corresponding to the possibilities.
Another reason why a prayer is not heard is the motivation of the one who says it. Usually a person asks for himself and for no one else. This means that the motivation for applying for this or that job is as follows - "God, help me get this place, when they give an advance, I will buy a new iPhone." Of course, this is an extremely simplified and extremely primitive example, but it captures the essence of the intentions and thoughts of many people who are praying for help in finding a job. Meanwhile, selfishness, pride, greed and other similar qualities that flourish in all their glory with a given motivation for finding a good job are not virtues. That is, in this case, the prayer is not read with a pure heart and good intentions,but with hidden intentions. Of course, the higher powers do not heed her.
Another reason why prayer is not heard in order to get a job is the lack of hope in it. As a rule, there is no humility in it, there is only a demand. Simply put: "Drop everything and get me a job, urgently." Such an approach, of course, is very pragmatic; in life it brings a lot of benefits, but in prayer it only harms. The Lord and the saints are not genies from a fairy lamp, they do not fulfill whims and desires, but help those who really need it.
Often the situation with prayers for work is reminiscent of the old joke about a person asking to send a winning lottery, the same one in which the Lord tells the applicant to buy a ticket and participate in the draw. That is, praying and doing nothing at the same time is the wrong tactic. You need to search, send out resumes, improve your professional level in all possible ways, attend interviews, fill out questionnaires, and in case of refusals, try to find out their reason. You need to constantly work on yourself and be active. Then God will definitely help and direct you exactly where you need to.
And of course, the main reason that heaven remains indifferent to prayer is the lack of faith in the soul and heart of the one who seeks help. Without sincere, absolute faith in the power of the Lord, there is no need to start praying. In any request to God, not words are important, but the deep and unconditional faith of the one who utters them.
What does it take to make prayer work?
Of course, in order for prayer to help you get a good job, a person's soul must have faith in God. If you pray at the same time, hang voodoo, druid talismans on your hands and neck, put copper money under your heel or do something else, then there will be no sense. Praying to the Lord, you should trust him. More specifically, entrusting your fate to God's hands, asking for direction and help, and not pronouncing the learned words “just in case.”
However, in addition to faith, something else is required. You need to understand yourself and understand what it is - a "good job" and why it is necessary. In the event that among the answers there are only possibilities for satisfying desires and needs, you can not start praying. Not wages and the opportunity to acquire something should be the main motivators for getting a specific job. The first thoughts that should come to mind are that the desired work activity is necessary and useful for people, in demand by them.
In other words, read to get a job, a prayer will always be answered if a person wants to work for the benefit of others, to be useful, and not just sit on a chair and fill his pockets.
Of course, there are situations in which it is difficult to motivate yourself with the usefulness and necessity of work. For example, if there is nothing to pay for housing or nothing to buy food. But under such circumstances, people usually do not look for a good job, but grab the offers that come their way, withgratefully accepting them.
When is prayer needed?
Prayer for a successful job, like any other, is a natural need for a believer who seeks to enlist the protection of the Lord and the saints before important actions or deeds. But, in addition to the inner need to seek help and patronage from higher powers, there are other factors that indicate the need to read the prayer.
Of course, prayer is needed to get a new job. Turning to the Lord or the saints will not only contribute to the emergence of favorable circumstances for a person, but will also help him to gather inwardly, calm his excitement, and feel self-confidence.
It is necessary to turn to God for help even when a person wants to return to his old workplace. As a rule, people are confident that where they are not, it is much better - higher wages, fewer responsibilities, more interesting activities, more pleasant team. Often they are sure that in their current workplace their abilities are not appreciated in due measure. As a rule, these thoughts arise, if not out of the blue, then on the basis of meaningless trifles. These are thoughts-temptations, with the help of which the evil one inflates the vices in the human soul - pride, anger, greed and others. Having succumbed to them, people defiantly quit, but after some time they realize that they did not do it right, they begin to regret, in other words, they repent. Of course, in such circumstances, prayer is needed to be taken back to the previouswork. You need to ask God not only for the fact of being accepted back, but also for protection from temptations and harmful doubts, bad thoughts.
Prayer is also required for those who are worried about their loved ones, children or parents. Such requests are never left unattended, because they are filled not only with hope, but also with care and selflessness, the thoughts of the one who prays for others are invariably pure.
It is necessary to visit the temple, light a candle and pray even in a situation where you cannot get a job without any objective reasons for this. That is, a person does not show excessive requests, has all the necessary skills and abilities, is pleasant in communication, disciplined and hardworking. But for some not very clear reasons, he is denied everywhere. A person lowers the bar and bypasses already less prestigious, simple vacancies, those places where, in principle, everyone is taken, for example, retail outlets at street stops. But even here, for completely unclear reasons, he encounters failures. Such a situation simply requires a visit to the temple and a cleansing prayer, as it can lead to despair and loss of faith in one's own strength.
Whom to pray to?
Prayer to get a job is read to many saints, Mother of God and, of course, most often believers turn to the Lord himself.
It is generally accepted that prayers addressed to: have the greatest power
- Matrona of Moscow;
- St. Spyridon;
- To Nicholas the Wonderworker;
- great martyrTryphon.
However, this does not mean that other saints will not help a person who is having difficulty finding a job.
How to pray to the Matrona of Moscow?
Matrona is approached for help not only by those who are looking for work for themselves, but also by those who are worried about their loved ones, wishing them a better life, success, fulfillment and prosperity. During her lifetime, Matrona did not refuse to help any suffering person. She prayed to the Lord for a person, regardless of the severity or variety of the trouble in which he was. Of course, while in Heaven, the saint does not remain indifferent to the aspirations and troubles of people.
Most often, fathers and mothers say a prayer to Matronushka to take a daughter or son to work. The words of this prayer, like any other, are not so important. You can pray with your own phrases and by reading ready-made texts.
An example of the text of a prayer for finding work for children looks like this: “Blessed old woman, the Blessed Matronushka, our protector and intercessor before the eyes of the Lord and His Heavenly Throne! Do not leave my child (name of the child) in difficult times, help me find a good job and direct your steps to charitable places. Take the wicked and deceivers away from the child, do not let the weak soul know the vices and temptations of the ungodly.”
The children who worry about their parents turn to Matrona. Nowadays, in churches they often read a prayer to hire a mother, they ask for fathers much less often. This is probably due to the large number of incomplete families. But no matter howwas, the prayer of a child who sincerely believes in God's help has incredible power.
An example of such a prayer: “Holy Matronushka, hear me! I beg you, send good luck to my mother on her way! May she meet good people, with hearts that are kind and sympathetic! Let my mother find a job that is not very hard, decent and stable. With a big salary, so that she would not count every ruble, but could rejoice in the light of God.”
Children's prayers, as a rule, are pronounced in their own words and their texts are devoid of ornateness, they are simple and unsophisticated, naive. Maybe that's why they are always heard.
How to pray to Saint Tryphon?
People turn to this saint literally with all their urgent needs. He is asked for help in finding housing, teaching children, getting rid of vicious passions and evil thoughts, cleansing houses from evil spirits, and much more. Of course, very often a prayer is also said before his image in order to get a job: “Tryphon, the great martyr of Christ, who suffered for the faith, hear me (proper name), do not disregard worldly complaints and vain troubles. I beg you for help in my need for daily bread. Help, holy martyr, do not let me know the troubles and hunger, the sums and burdens of life. Do not let you know wandering and lose your home. Help me find a worthy place, do charitable deeds, bring benefits to people. Do not know covetousness and cunning, meet honest people in your search. Guide the saint, teach and save me (proper name).”
Of course, you can pray to the saint with simple words coming directly fromhearts. The main thing that should be when reading a prayer for a good job is a person’s faith, and what kind of words they say is not so important.
How to pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker?
This saint is one of the most revered in Orthodoxy. People have long been going to the images of St. Nicholas with all their sorrows, worries, troubles, difficulties. And there are no cases in which prayer before the icon of St. Nicholas would not bring relief in life circumstances. Of course, often in churches there is also a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for work.
Usually this saint is asked for help simply, in his own words. In the old days in the villages, prayer began with such an appeal: “Nicholas the Wonderworker, father. Nicholas Ugodnik, father. And after these words, they talked about their needs and asked for help.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for work can be like this: “Holy saint Nicholas, who does not leave our aspirations. Our intercessor before the Lord and the all-merciful patron. Help me (proper name) find a suitable, worthy, good job. Beg God Almighty for mercy, for attention to my life and worldly affairs. Do not let me know the ordeals of all kinds and dashing troubles, do not let me experience deprivation and hunger. Help me find a place to my heart, where good deeds are done, pleasing to people and the Lord.”
Prayer to take a good job husband, addressed to St. Nicholas, may be:
“Nicholas the Wonderworker, father! Hear me (proper name) and listen to my sorrows, but women's troubles. My husband (name) is toiling in a long search, he just can’t place himselffind according to your heart, but with a good income. All exhausted, there is no urine to look, but there is nothing to help. Do not leave me Nicholas the Wonderworker, help bring peace and peace back to the house, grant my husband the right thing to do, to my soul. Illuminate with your grace, enlighten and tell me, send a sign, teach my husband where to go to him, but what can I say, how to show myself.”
Of course, they pray to St. Nicholas and about finding work for children and parents. They also turn to the saint with requests for help in returning to their former place of work.
How to pray to Saint Spyridon?
Prayer to Spiridon for work is not much different from similar requests with which people turn to other saints. Spiridon Trimifuntsky since ancient times helps believers in arranging their homes, finding a decent job and in other troubles and worries.
Prayer to Spiridon for work that is interesting, well-paid and useful for society, can be like this: “Saint, our intercessor, Spiridon! I beg you for help in obtaining daily bread and prosperity in my house. Not for my own sake, but for the common good, I beg you for help in a difficult matter. Do not leave, reason, indicate where to look for a good job, so that it would be a joy, but argue, so that it would give prosperity. Help, saint, to avoid deceit and dishonesty, do not let me be deceived, direct me to a good place.”
Of course, prayer can and should even be said in your own words. Such prayers are always more sincere. When a person speaks from the heart, he does not think about the text, that is, he is not distracted from prayer.
How to prayOur Lady?
As a rule, before the face of the Mother of God, a prayer is said about the placement of children for work, with requests for help in finding their own employment, they rarely turn to her. Of course, parents and especially mothers pray to the Mother of God not so much for the very fact of employment, but for finding a good, prestigious place. About such work that would bring satisfaction to their child, where he could develop, grow professionally and personally. About a place where it would be not only profitable to work, but also interesting.
Prayer before the employment of children, addressed to the Mother of God, may be as follows: “The Most Pure Mother of God, who is aware of all our worries and aspirations. Saving us from adversity and from sorrows, sending happiness and comforting in disasters. Do not leave my (child's name) in his first steps in adult life, full of temptations and vice, do not let him stumble, help me find a place where there is no malice and greed, no deceit and self-interest. Help and direct to where charitable, good deeds are being done. Do not let my child harm people through unreason or from someone else's command, deliver me from temptations and bribery, do not let me be disappointed and suffer from deceit. Direct his thoughts and aspirations to deeds that are pleasing to the Lord and people who need them.”
Although, when wondering who to pray for work, the Mother of God is usually remembered in connection with the need for the employment of children, this does not mean at all that in other situations one should not turn to her for help, guidance or a sign. God'sa mother helps not only mothers who ask for children, she listens to all the aspirations with which they come to her, without any exceptions.
How to pray to the Lord?
As a rule, when it comes to who to pray for work, people first of all remember not the saints, but the Lord himself. They turn to God for any difficulties in life, no matter what they are connected with. He is prayed for he alth and happiness, a peaceful sky, prosperity in the house, of course, for finding a good job and much more.
Often there are such words in prayers as "… so that they hire me, and not anyone else." There is some ambiguity in such requests, because the request implies the selection of one person from others. That is, in fact, praying that the place does not go to someone else, asks God for hardships for other people. This is wrong, you need to pray for the gift of inner self-confidence, for quickness of thought and favorable circumstances, for good luck, without asking to deprive the rest of the applicants for the vacancy from all this. In other words, the Lord should be prayed for to be better yourself, and not for others to fail.
For example: “Lord, Almighty and All-Merciful, abiding on the Throne of Heaven and knowing everything that is happening under it, on your Earth! Help me, your humble servant (proper name), do not leave me without your mercy and protection. Grant me, Lord, good work, necessary for people and pleasing to your providence.”
In the event that a person is worried and fromhe does not feel confident in his abilities, forgets something, and it is possible that he begins to stutter or burr at a responsible interview, you need to read the “Our Father” or any other prayer to yourself immediately before the upcoming conversation with a potential employer.
