Man has always worked hard. Even in paradise (before the exile) Adam worked: he gave names to animals. This mission had a goal - knowledge of the world, its laws and mechanisms. The Lord expelled the sinning people from the Garden of Eden, saying the phrase: "In labor you will earn your bread. And now Eve must give birth to children in pain." The earth was transformed after the fall: deserts appeared, animals divided into predators and herbivores, the previously fertile soil became lifeless. Adam and all his descendants still get their bread in labor and pain.
It can be hard these days to find a job that you love and that pays well. Many specialists are not in demand, the industry has just begun to rise from the ruins, so there are not enough jobs for everyone. Sometimes it takes a long time to find a good place. In Orthodox culture, it is customary to ask God for a better life for themselves and their loved ones, often people read prayers for help in finding a good job.
Some saints have the special grace of God to help people in this area of life:
- Spyridon Trimifuntsky.
- Nicholas the Wonderworker.
- Matrona of Moscow.
- Martyr Tryphon.
- Ksenia of Petersburg.
- Seraphim of Sarov.
Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, also hear our every prayer offering, brought with a pure heart and faith.
Why do you have bad luck with work?
Deep down, every person is honest with himself alone. Therefore, at first it is necessary to deal with the reasons, to answer the question why the work is not going well. Perhaps the Lord calls for humility and you need to start small. It often happens that a job seeker views ads in a certain category, and the employer he needs is in another. A broader search will solve this problem.
Psychological interview techniques are a good way to make a better impression on a recruiting manager. Internet access and free half an hour with a cup of coffee will easily fill in the gaps in knowledge. A certain posture, gestures, look - all this subconsciously affects the decision.
Appearance, smell, dress code are of great importance in the interview. After all, according to these signs, the employer determines what kind of cooperation with the applicant will be. A shocking appearance is appropriate for a holiday, a carnival, but not in an office or an office of the production personnel department. The HR manager can decidethat a shocking worker will bring chaos to the team and, most likely, will refuse.
If all the conditions are met, and employment still fails, we can only hope for help from above. A prayer for finding a good job, uttered with faith and a pure heart, will definitely help.
The Lord Jesus Christ
He was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit in the family of a simple carpenter from Nazareth, and from an early age he worked in the same field as the righteous Joseph, who nurtured and raised Him. At the age of 30, he left this ministry and began to prepare for the most important event in the history of mankind - the victory over death.
The sacrifice made on the cross for all mankind opened the doors to paradise for everyone who wants to acquire it. Christ taught that according to our faith is given to us. That is, we can influence all events in life to one degree or another, but when we cannot cope alone, He will come to the rescue. Therefore, the first prayer for finding a good high-paying job is to the Lord:
King of Heaven, Comforter, Soul of Truth, Who is everywhere and fills everything, Treasury of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, Blessed, our souls.
Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I start, to Your glory.
Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without Beginning, You said with Your most pure lips, that without Me you can do nothing. My Lord, Lord, by faith the volume is in my soul and the heart spoken by You, I fall down on Your goodness: help me, a sinner,to accomplish this work, which I have begun, about You Yourself, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints. Amen.
Thanksgiving for all the mercy of God
Any business must begin with a prayer to the Lord. Orthodox Christians are accustomed to regularly thank the Creator for everything given to them. To be able to work fully, you need he alth, physical strength, developed intelligence, education, and so on. The Lord gives us all this, so we need to be grateful. Life is unpredictable, you can lose your ability to work at any moment. If you can’t get into the church and order a prayer service, you need to repeat out loud or to yourself more often: “Thank God for everything!” No strong prayer for finding a good new job will be answered if there is no gratitude to the Lord for everything.
God protects us, helps and arranges everything so that our soul can find salvation. Sometimes we insistently demand, passionately want to take some specific vacancy, but it just doesn’t work out: a passport or work book is lost, a car splashes on the way to an interview, or some other trouble happens. It is worth stopping and considering whether this is really so necessary or whether it is worth taking a break and thinking it over again.
Prayer of thanksgiving for finding a good job:
We thank Thee, Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds even from the first age to the present, in us, unworthy Thy servants (names), who were, their names and notvems, about the manifest and the unmanifest, even the deeds of the past and the word: having loved us, as well as Your only begotten Son, give us willingly, make us worthy of being Your love.
Give by Your word wisdom and Your fear, inhale strength from Your strength, and if we sin willingly or unwillingly, forgive and do not blame, and save our holy soul, and present to Your Throne, I have a clean conscience, and the end is worthy Your philanthropy; And remember, Lord, all who call upon Your name in truth; the same we pray to you, Lord, give us your goodness great mercy.
Appeal to the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mary, the daughter of the righteous Joachim and Anna, descendants of King David, received the best education in those days at the temple. Even at a young age, the Blessed One took a vow of celibacy, but according to Jewish law, a girl could not live alone. Her parents had already died at that time, and she had no other relatives. The Council of High Priests decided to select Mary's guardian husband from among elderly widowers by lot.
Staffs were collected from candidates for husbands and placed on the altar. The clergy prayed for a long time about the will of God. When the staves were returned to their owners, one of them, belonging to righteous Joseph, blossomed. Seeing such a miracle, the high priests handed over the future Mother of God to the care of a widower.
Maria was best given the art of sewing. One day, while she was embroidering a curtain for the temple, she thought about the prophecy of the birthSavior. The tradition indicated that the Messiah would be born of a Virgin, and Mary wanted to at least serve this wonderful woman. But she understood that Christ would be born in the royal chambers, and she was a simple poor girl and she certainly would not be a witness to this event. At that moment, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to her and announced her election as a mother to the Savior.
Joseph wanted to let the Virgin go, thereby saving her from being stoned. But an angel appeared to him and explained everything. Soon the need forced the holy family to go to the city of Bethlehem for a census. The journey took several months. Christmas of the Savior took the couple by surprise. They were looking for somewhere to lay their heads, but all the places in the hotels were occupied, only a manger was found. The place where the shepherds herded their cattle for the night became the receptacle of the born Lord.
Mary throughout her earthly life worked tirelessly. She experienced the suffering of the Son on the cross, His death and resurrection. Moreover, from the moment of conception, she knew what fate was prepared for him and lived in anticipation of the fulfillment of the prophecy, appreciating every second spent nearby.
The Mother of God laid the foundation for monasticism. On Mount Athos in Greece, she is considered an abbess, that is, the organizer of monastic life, taking care of the brethren. Indeed, there are countless miracles from the icons of the Mother of God on the holy mountain. Only men can set foot on Athos, meat is strictly prohibited by the monastic charter. There are cases when a fresh piece of game was carried through the courtyard of one of the Athos hostels, and it deteriorated in 10 minutes.
Prayer for finding a job with a good salary to the Blessed Virgin Mary:
O Blessed Lady Lady Mother of God! With fear, faith and love, falling down before Your honest icon, we pray to You: do not turn Your face away from those who run to You, implore, merciful Mother, Your Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, may our country be peaceful, may it be established in piety, but let the Church keep His Holy One unshakably, and let her deliver from unbelief, heresies and schism.
Not imams for other help, not imams for other hope, unless you, Blessed Virgin: You are the all-powerful helper and intercessor of Christians. Deliver all those who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, illnesses, troubles and from sudden death.
Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thought, the correction of sinful lives and the forgiveness of sins, yes, all gratefully glorifying Your greatness and mercy, shown to us here on earth, we will be honored with the Kingdom of Heaven, and there with all the saints we will glorify the most honorable and glorious name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Spyridon of Trimifuntsky
The future saint was born on the island of Crete at the end of the 3rd century AD. In his youth, he married a pious girl, and a daughter, Irina, was born in the marriage. He was engaged in grazing cattle and always helped the poor. For mercy, the Lord endowed him with the gift to work miracles: he treated seriously ill patients and had power over unclean spirits.
The saint's wife died early, and he was chosen bishop of the city of Trimifunt. Having become a dignitary, Spiridon did not leave merciful deeds andalways helped others. Participating in the first Ecumenical Council, the bishop delivered a heartfelt speech that put an end to disputes with the heretic Greek philosopher. This speech showed to all those gathered the great wisdom of God, and the persecutor of Christianity believed. Later, the Greek said that he felt in the words of Spiridon the power of the creator, which he could not and did not want to resist.
In proof of the words of the saint, a miracle happened at the Cathedral. Wanting to explain the unity of the Holy Trinity, Spiridon picked up a brick, and it broke up into its components: fire, water and clay. And said these words:
Behold, there are three elements, and the plinth (brick) is one, – St. Spyridon said then, – so in the Holy Trinity – Three Persons, and the Deity is One.
On the canonical icons, the bishop is depicted with this particular brick in his hand. Spyridon Trimifuntsky is compared with the prophet Elijah, according to his prayers, blessed rain often fell on the arid island of Crete.
Miracles of the saint
A pious woman's child has died. With a lifeless baby in her arms, she ran to Saint Spyridon. Through prayers to God, the child came to life, but from shock his mother fell down dead. And the saint prayed again, bringing the woman back to life.
In another city, a close acquaintance of a bishop was dishonestly slandered and sentenced to death. He immediately hurried to rescue his friend, but on the way he was stopped by the elements of nature: after the rain, a stream overflowing its banks broke with noise from the mountains. Streams of water carried away even coastal trees, there was no question of crossing. And then the saint turned toprayer to God and boldly ordered the stream to stop in the name of the Savior. The stream stood up, as if bound by ice, and Spiridon calmly moved to the opposite bank. He succeeded in helping his friend out of trouble, despite all the obstacles.
The appearance of angels in an empty church is also associated with the name of St. Spyridon. Together with the deacon, they began the Liturgy, and after the first exclamation, angelic singing appeared from somewhere in the ceiling. An invisible choir sang the answer. At the great litany, the angels sang "Lord, have mercy!" People ran to the sounds of miraculous voices, but when they entered the church, they found only the bishop and the deacon.
Prayer for finding a good job to Spiridon Trimifuntsky:
Oh, the great and marvelous Saint of Christ and the miracle worker Spiridon, Kerkyra praise, the most bright lamp of the whole universe, warm to God in prayer and to all who come running to you and pray with faith, intercessor! You gloriously explained the Orthodox faith at the Nicestem Council among the Fathers, you showed the trinity of the Holy Trinity with miraculous power and shamed the heretics to the end. Hear us, sinners, the saint of Christ, praying to you, and by your strong intercession with the Lord, deliver us from every evil situation: from famine, flood, fire and deadly ulcers. For in your temporal life you delivered your people from all these disasters: you saved your country from the invasion of the Hagarites and from prosperity, you saved the king from an incurable illness and manyThou didst bring sinners to repentance, Thou gloriously raised the dead, and for the holiness of thy life, Thou didst have angels, invisibly singing and serving thee in the church. Therefore, glorify you, your faithful servant, Lord Christ, as all secret human deeds have been given to you to understand and rebuke those who live unrighteously. You zealously helped many, living in poverty and insufficiency, thou didst nourish the wretched people abundantly during famine and many other signs by the power of the living Spirit of God in you. Do not leave us, O saint of Christ, remember us, your children, at the Throne of the Almighty and implore the Lord, may He grant forgiveness for many of our sins, give us a comfortable and peaceful life, but the end of the belly is shameless and eternally blessed, and peaceful grant us, let us send forth glory and thanksgiving to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen
Nicholas the Wonderworker
The torch of Orthodoxy was born in the city of Patara in the 4th century, under Emperor Constantine. His family was we althy, but God-fearing. From infancy, Nicholas showed his God's chosenness, since on Wednesdays and Fridays he did not take his mother's breast until sunset. As you know, on Wednesday and Friday there are one-day Orthodox fasts in honor of the suffering of the Savior on the Cross.
When the boy grew up, he was sent to study. Possessing a sharp mind and excellent memory, Nicholas quickly comprehended the sciences, including the Holy Scriptures. People around noticed that the boy was trying to live according to the gospelcommandments.
Nicholas, who had become a young man, was ordained to the clergy. In his new capacity, the young man began to lead an even more ascetic life, tirelessly building in himself the receptacle of the Holy Spirit.
After the death of his parents, the young man got a rich inheritance, which he spent on helping poor people. The most famous act of St. Nicholas is the rescue of three maidens. One rich man with daughters went bankrupt. They did not have a dowry, in those days it was impossible to successfully marry without dowries. The father was no longer able to support them and was seriously thinking about sending his daughters to serve in a brothel.
No matter how scary this phrase may sound, the father of the girls had no other choice. Saint Nicholas heard about this and threw a bag of gold to the man. Not believing his eyes, the unfortunate father thanked the Lord for such a good deed. With these funds, the eldest daughter was able to get married. The other two girls were treated in exactly the same way, Nicholas the Wonderworker threw two more bags of gold coins. For this good deed, he became the prototype of our modern Santa Claus.
But the Lycian archbishop is not only famous for this. Many miracles are still happening through the prayers of believers from the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker helps believers in finding a good job. In our country, his icon, along with the images of the Savior and the Mother of God, is in every car, because he is considered the patron saint of travelers. The saint is also readprayers for finding a good job. The saint of God has the power from the Lord to help the Orthodox, and everyone who turns to him with all his heart will receive consolation.
Prayer in search of a good job to Nicholas the Wonderworker:
Oh, all-holy Nicholas, pleasing to the glorious Lord, our warm intercessor and quick help everywhere in sorrow! Help me, a sinner and a dull one, in this present life, begged the Lord God to grant me the remission of all my sins, even if I have sinned from my youth, in all my life, deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and in the outcome of my soul, help me, the accursed one, implored the Lord God of all creatures, the Creator, to deliver me from air ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and forever, and forever. Amen.

Another prayer to Nicholas in search of a good job:
Oh, all-good Father Nicholas, shepherd and teacher of all who by faith flow to your intercession and call you with warm prayer! Eat quickly and deliver the flock of Christ from the wolves that destroy it; and protect every Christian country and save with your holy prayers from worldly rebellion, cowardice, invasion of foreigners and internecine strife, from famine, flood, fire, sword and sudden death. And as if you had mercy on triechhusbands sitting in prison, and delivered them from the king's wrath and the cutting of the sword, so have mercy on me, mind, word and deed in the darkness of sins, and deliver me the wrath of God and eternal punishment. As if by your intercession and help, by His own mercy and grace, Christ God will give us a quiet and sinless life to live in this world, and deliver me from the shuiyago standing, and bless the right hand with all the saints forever and ever. Amen.
Martyr Tryphon
The saint lived in the III century after the birth of Christ in Asia Minor. A special human glory came to the young man after the expulsion of the demon from the imperial daughter. Tryphon helped ordinary people, did alms, healed. For all the kindness, he demanded a single payment from the cured - faith in the True God. Once, by the power of prayer, the martyr drove locusts from the fields of his native village, thereby saving the inhabitants from starvation.
Everything changed when Emperor Decius, famous for his anti-Christian views, ascended the Roman throne. The persecution of believers resumed, and those caught were subjected to such sophisticated torture that their hair stood on end.
The fiend was also informed about Tryphon, who was known far beyond his native area for his sermons. During interrogation, the young man confessed his faith in the One Lord without fear and was thrown into prison. Later, the emperor and his servants tortured Tryphon, forcing him to recant. They beat him, tore the body of the saint with iron hooks, cauterized the wounds with fire so that he would not die from blood loss before Decius wanted it. At the end of the torture, seeing that the martyr would not renounce his faith, they led him to the execution on foot,driving iron nails into the boy's feet. Before his execution by beheading with a sword, the saint thanked God for supporting him in his sufferings. Before the sword was raised over the young man's head, he gave his soul into the hands of God. It happened in Nicaea in the middle of the 3rd century.
In Russia, the martyr has been revered since the time of Ivan the Terrible. The king was very fond of hunting and kept gyrfalcons for her. Once a favorite bird flew away and falconer Trifon Patrikeev was sent to search. He unsuccessfully searched for the falcon for three days, but did not dare to return empty-handed, knowing the tough temper of Ivan the Terrible. Tired, Tryphon lay down to rest, praying to his patron. The falconer immediately dreamed of a martyr sitting on a snow-white horse and holding a lost bird in his hand. He consoled the namesake and suggested where the gyrfalcon is now.
Tryfon woke up and saw the loss, quietly sitting on a branch of the nearest tree. The falconer returned the bird to the king and spoke about the miraculous help of the saint. If not for this event, do not demolish the employee's head. Therefore, in gratitude for the help, he built a chapel on the site of the appearance of the saint, and then a stone church in the name of the martyr Tryphon.

It is known that shortly after coming of age, Xenia married a court singer, Colonel Andrei Fedorovich Petrov, out of great love. Less than ten years later, the young husband died suddenly, without proper preparation, confession and communion.
This tragic event radically changed Xenia's life. She was greatly shocked by the death of her husband, and she took upon herself one of the hardest Christian feats - foolishness.
When Andrei was buried, his wife put on his clothes and told everyone that they were burying not Petrov, but Xenia. At that moment, she really left the world to serve the Lord. Her only desire was to atone for the sins of her husband so that he would inherit the kingdom of heaven. For this feat, the Lord endowed her with the gift of clairvoyance and wonderworking. Therefore, the blessed one is often addressed with a prayer to find a good job for her husband or son.

Seraphim of Sarov
The future ascetic was born in the city of Kursk into a merchant family. It is known that his parents built a temple, and little Prokhor fell from a high bell tower. His mother, in a semi-conscious state, ran downstairs and found the baby unharmed. The child himself explained that the angels picked him up and did not let him break. This was the first miracle that determined the entire life path of the future lamp of faith.
In adolescence, the boy became very ill, but was healed by the icon of the Mother of God ("Root"). A religious procession took place in the village where the family of the future monk lived. Before the icon was brought into the house, the Most Pure Virgin herself appeared to Prokhor and promised healing.
Prokhor dreamed of a monastic life and at the age of 17 he left his mother and went to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, after - to the Sarov monastery. Before leaving, his mother blessed him and put a copper cross around his neck, which Seraphim wore all his life.

Amen.
In the Sarov desert, Prokhor was tonsured a monk with the name Seraphim. Soon the saint went into seclusion and stayed there for more than 20years. The Mother of God with the apostles appeared to the monk several times. Prayers are offered to the saint for a good job.
Reviews
True Orthodox Christians know that all trials are given by the Lord and try not to grumble or lose heart. Unbelievers do not see a special need to pray, but if the situation is hopeless, then they always turn to God and are often honored with what they ask. So they are shown the right path, and whether they choose it or not is a personal matter for everyone. Pray with a pure heart and faith. The main thing to remember is that with God in the heart everything is possible.
