I am REALLY frustrated with my career situation. Of course I want a better job, but I am at a point in my faith where I believe it would be in my best interest to forget what I want and do God’s will for me. However, I have NO idea what that is. I don’t know if by not having looked for a better job for the past week I am giving up or surrendering

Please pray I hear God lead me

Prayer to St. Anthony for Employment

Blessed St. Anthony, who in life was ever mindful of the needs of the afflicted, consuming himself in the service of God and for the good of souls, who was the enemy of idleness and a tireless worker in the vineyard of the Lord, beseech God to grant Angie a suitable job, which may procure for her and her family a decent livelihood, and be at the same time a means of personal sanctification and of real service to others. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord, amen.

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

O Saint Joseph, we pray to you for those who are out of work, for those who want to earn their living or support their families.

You who are the patron of workers; grant that unemployment may vanish from our ranks; that all those who are ready to work may put their strength and abilities in serving their fellowmen and earn a just salary.

You are the patron of families; do not let those who have children to support and raise lack the necessary means. Have pity on our brothers and sisters held down in unemployment and poverty because of sickness or social disorders. Help our political leaders and captains of industry find new and just solutions. May each and every one have the joy of contributing, according to his abilities, to the common prosperity by an honorable livelihood. Grant that we may all share together in the abundant goods God has given us and that we may help underprivileged countries. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon Anglewannabe in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
 
Praying for your intentions.

This is a link for a book written by Saint Therese of Lisieux, AKA, The Little Flower. It floored me to see how much she wanted to give her all to Jesus. It’s a good read.

Prayer to St Anthony…:bowdown2::bowdown2::bowdown2::blessyou:
 
You spend sooo much of your day at work. And I hope the Lord finds a way for you to have a job you feel good about working in. And one in which you feel you can serve him.🙂 That way you can have some peace and proceed with your life. I’ll pray for peace and a job for you that will please the Lord and make you happy.

Thank you China123 for posting that beautiful prayer. It will help me and I’ll share it with others. God bless you and I pray that your post will help the OP.
 
Thank you Lord for your unending grace. In all humility I ask that you keep your promise of the more you see in me, the more grace you give. Empty me Oh Holy Spirit and fill it with His Grace.
 
:gopray2:

God, this world’s problems are so complicated that I
cannot make my way without Your guidance.
Quicken my mind and deepen my understanding.
Help me hear Your voice and heed Your advice.
Keep me walking along the path behind You.
Through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen

God our Father and Creator, You bestow on us gifts
and talents to develop and use in accord with Your will.

Grant to Angie through the intercession of St. Joseph the
worker, as model and guide, employment and work, that
she may, with dignity, provide for those who depend on
her for care and support.

Grant her the opportunities to use her energy and
her talents and abilities for the good of all, and the
glory of Your name.

Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
 
Prayer that God Will Speak Inwardly

Speak, O Lord, for Your servant is listening. I say, Your servant, because at last I am such. I am Your servant and I want to be; I want to walk in Your way all the days and nights of my life.

Fill me with a spirit to understand what Your holy plans are for me. And reduce my desires to the single desire to understand Your sublime truths.

Speak, in order to console my anxious soul. Speak, in order to lead it to repentance. Speak, so that Your glory, thus more exalted, will grow eternally. Amen.

Don’t forget the benefits of checking with a career counselor. This way you can discuss other interests, educational requirements if they apply, and discover various options of employment.

My experience has been, that God will let you know when it is time to leave a position in a variety of ways. In my case I actually experienced this inner peace every time I left my job for the day. The farther away I got from the building, the greater the peace.

I still had to look for another job before leaving, but I knew it would “show up.” After 6 months I found my next source of employment. So, God’s voice my come in ways you don’t expect. Your frustration at your current situation may be that voice, but it may not be time to leave just yet.

Keep searching and seek out some counseling. You will know when it is time if you just trust in the process of taking a few of your own steps first. He will lead the way.
