Here are 12 of my favorite verses, along with my commentary about each one, to help encourage your heart and nurture your spiritual well being while job hunting or anytime you’re uncertain about your future.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”
God’s plans for you, for me, are good. It doesn’t always “feel” like that, especially when we’re job hunting, but it’s true. It can be helpful to write this verse on an index card or two, and place it in visible places, and recite it to yourself when the worry mounts up. It is always important that we renew our minds (Romans 12:2) and are careful to believe truth, but especially when we’re in a period of great stress, like job hunting.
It's always important to believe truth, but especially when under great stress, like job hunting.Click To TweetRomans 8:28
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
In the same vein as the verse above, trusting that God is working everything together for your good, smooths the edges of the job hunt. Our responsibility is to walk with Him, seek Him, love Him, trust His purposes. It is often helpful to focus that you will be able to help others go through similar things once you’re on the other side – and you will be!
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord.”
Two notes here: 1) an antidote to discouragement is actively looking for God’s goodness in each day. Keep an eye out for His blessings, especially small ones each day. It often helps greatly to keep a gratitude journal where you record these evidences of His goodness nightly. 2) The word “wait” here, the Hebrew word “qavah”, can be translated “look eagerly for” – this is an active waiting, not passive.Actively look for His goodness and blessings, especially small ones each day.

Isaiah 40:28-31
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”
Wait in this passage means the same thing as in Psalm 27 above – it is active. When we actively look to Him, He gives us His strength.
Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
The key here is to make a mental shift and focus on prayer, not worry. I admit it is much easier said than done, but when we switch gears from worrying to praying we have much more peace.
Galatians 6:9
“Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.”
It can be easy to let up on the job hunt. Often it doesn’t seem like your efforts are resulting in much. But don’t give up. You will reap (harvest, receive the fruit of your labor). You will obtain a good position for you, if you hang in there. Keep doing the right things – networking, setting up lunches with people who can give you good advice, customizing your resume to fit each position – and you WILL reap.
Romans 15:4
“For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
Hope comes through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures. Find a regular time each day to spend time in God’s Word – it’s often ideal if it’s first thing in the morning to set the tone for your day. The time we invest in the scriptures daily will lead to hope as we persevere.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
You’re not having to do this alone, even though you may “feel” alone at times. God is with you. Focus on that, trust in that, and it will help you step out of your comfort zone as needed.
Isaiah 41:10
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Same thought at above. God is with you. Look to Him for His strength. Focus on the truth that He is with you, and it will help you make another phone call, attend another networking meeting, reach out to another person for advice and help – all the things that are so crucial to the job hunt, but can be difficult to do when we’re weary.
Psalm 37:23-25
“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand. I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging bread.”
Two points here: 1) I love the picture this verse paints. We may stumble, but we won’t fall head over heels because God is the One who is holding our hand. 2) Our part is to be faithful to Him, to walk with Him, and to be faithful in the job hunt.
Psalm 46:10a
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
He has this. We must still our thoughts, still our fears, and trust.
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Trust is defined as the “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” We have to intentionally shift, moment-by-moment, from our own understanding and place our trust in the reliability, ability, and strength of the Lord. We can trust that He is working everything together for our good and His glory. We can trust that He will lead and work things out for us.
In closing — we may never understand why we were the one chosen to be laid off, or why it is SO hard for us to find a good job when others seem to find one so easily, or why anything else hard has happened or is taking a long time to come together, but this I know – we can trust Him.
I’ll close with one of my favorite quotes, very much based on Scripture –a shortened version hangs in the 2:10 office: When you can’t trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
“God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.” – Charles Haddon Spurgeon
When you can’t trace His hand, you can trust His heart.Click To Tweet>> I’d love to know – what other verses encourage you? What else encourages you when you’re stressed? I’d love for you to share in the comments below.
To your success –
Blessings,
Great verses! Thanks for sharing! One of my favorites is Proverbs 21:31 “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord”.
To me it says I should prepare and do everything I can, but ultimately it’s in God’s hands.
That’s an excellent one, Mick! I like that one a lot too – so important to remember. I really appreciate your sharing!
Psalms 23.
1: The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
I love that verse too – thank you for sharing! 🙏
I have a job interview in 2 hours. I haven’t worked in over 20 years. these verses have helped me this morning. Thank you
I hope you got the job! 🙏🙏🙏
I have a job interview tomorrow .These scriptures have really helped me out a lot
I’m so glad! I hope you got the job. 🙏
I have been out of work for 2 months and today I felt a huge sense of giving up,dismay, sadness,weak and all sorts😭😭…I will work on my faith and prayers but it’s easier said than done in these troubling times for me..😭😭
You’re not alone – praying for the strength you need. 🙏
I have been unemployed for 9 weeks. Have been interviewing for various roles in my field. I feel selfish in praying for a job but I guess I need to prayer for everyone in my situation and myself. Had interview yesterday that I felt good about. I pray that the lord makes it work out for everyone. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you for sharing and I hope you got the job! 🙏
Thank you. This blessed and encouraged me so much as I have been anxiously waiting to hear back from a company.
Exactly like me waiting for a feedback from a company
🙏🙏🙏
Hi Jenny,
I also draw encouragement from Psalm 24 vs 1 and vs 8. The world belongs to God and it’s fullness.
vs 8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Thank you for taking time to encourage us.

Love those verses – thank you for sharing. We can trust that the Lord is always fighting for us even when we can’t see it! 🙏
I’m not convinced because I am sick and tired of pious platitudes and glib promise verses. Eliza Doolittle sang in My Fair Lady I’m sick of words. Show me! We don’t give people a chance to work through disappointment but ride roughshod over them. I hate extreme sovereignty as well!
It sounds like you’re really hurting, Angela. I am so sorry. We all need community to walk through the valleys with us and be the tangible hands and feet of Jesus, so we can SEE Him in action when we’re discouraged. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I dont know u, but I know that one of my son’s has been out of work for many months and this has been devastating to him. I’m sure my words to him seem cliche, but im telling u and him, Don’t, DONT lose hope. There r people that can help with resources and support of all kinds. I dont say this in a glib manner at all. I Truly believe that God cares for our well-being…even when we feel all is lost…GOD IS ABLE…and Will do More than u can imagine…in real, Tangible ways.
It’s hard for us mamas to watch our kids struggle – so important that we encourage one another. 🙏🙏🙏
True
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this,is really an encouragement for me
🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the verses. I feel so revived and encouraged now during my job search.
I always ask myself why no one is willing to help me during my job search yet i help a lot of people with job connections, vacancies, interview tips, recommendations etc. It’s really painful but i find comfort in reciting this verse ” l lift up my eyes to the hills, from where does my help come from? My help comes from God who made heaven and earth”
I appreciate your verses, may the good Lord bless you and your family…
I’m so glad that God encouraged your heart through them! 🙏🏻
Hello my name is Dalia I got laid off from holiday inn express and suites in niles as a housekeeper. And job hunting again for a housekeeping at a hospital. I trust that the Lord will help me find that job. I’ve been calling two places.

Love this. Agree. We must do all we can and let God do the rest
Yes! 🙏🙏🙏
I have been offered a job, but technicalities such as references seem like a threat to me being finally hired for the position, so these verses were a great inspiration to me, to not be anxious and to trust the Lord Jesus no matter what is coming up against me. I feel that I can trust God to remove and destroy all the barriers in my way of getting gainfully employed.
Hope you got the job! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 🙏
very encouraging

Very encouraging thank you

Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, our ever present helper in trouble
Love that verse too. Thank you for sharing!
This has helped me so much. I know that God hears my prayers for a full time college position.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The Psalm 41:10 is actually my name verse – written for Catherine in a book of names and their meanings. The Lord has used that verse to minister to me several times over the years. I just made a major move to another state and that verse was given to me by the Lord to emphasize not worrying for the future. It’s a confirmation again for me today as I was writing my prayer request and looking for a perfect fit verse that this verse shows up from your website! Thanks for making yourself a vessel in God’s kingdom. Another verse that God has shown me is
Isaiah 43:18&19 – Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Hallelujah!!! Our God is faithful and True
Yes, He is! Thank you so much for sharing!
Today’s Test is Tomorrow’s Testimony!

Nothing better to encourage your heart than God’s Word. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Very encouraging verses. I am trusting God for a job. Please help me pray.

I have been job hunting for months and it’s been so difficult. These verses have helped encourage me, your last paragraph on how others may get good jobs easily really spoke to me. All my friends have gotten good jobs and it seems I’m always the last to get everytime and it hurts. I hate that I have to struggle to get things I’m qualified for.
Thank you so much for sharing, Tam. I know SO many people can relate to how you’re feeling.🙏
Thank you for the verses.
I have Jeremiah 29:11 in print on my wall.
So hard to keep persevering, but I try not to get disheartened.
In God’s perfect timing I pray that he will show me his plans for my future 🙏🏻💕
Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my most favorite verses too. We can trust He IS working out His plan, but the waiting time can get tiresome for sure. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
I am shortlisted and as i pray i hope i have been selected for the job.i believe God have good plans for me!
I promise to give praise and thank him for the rest of my life every single day till death comes upon me.
🙏🙏
this has been my life lately. I used to not struggle for a job; i pick a bible verse, and i pray and God literally hands me the job. But now it has been hard, i keep asking God, why, what are you doing? What is the point in this. I really needed this encouragement, i will continue to trust in His process, I know He is preparing more than i can ever imagine, and so i will do my part, and wait on Him. Amen
I’m so glad God used these verses to encourage you. Waiting can definitely be challenging, but He is always at work! 🙏
Thank you for verse during this Pandemic we need to look to God

Exodus 23:20 Behold, I am going to send an Angel before you to keep and guard you on the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Amplified Bible. When I read this one, it stood out as if God were telling me personally that He was sending an angel out before me and preparing things for my next job.
Have not seen the Amplified version of that verse before – what an encouraging rendering! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏
Thank you for all the perfect scriptures… so very encouraging and your perfectly written, succinct notes. God bless you!!
Very encouraging, spoke to my heart. Thank you

Thank you for these encouraging verses, it really helps during this kind of pandemic situation wherein it’s kinda difficult to find a job while staying at home. But I know God has a greater plan for me ahead. Jeremiah 29:11. Have a blessed day!
🙏🙏
Thanks for the encouragement. Job hunting is really stressful. As a single mum,who has been out of real employment for 2 years,you just never know what tomorrow brings and what to think considering very many people get good jobs easily even without qualifications and then take them for granted. It’s sad
The pandemic situation has hit hard. I hope you and your kid/s are safe and remember that He has great plans for each of us. 🙏
Needed a good job brethren because I am stucked up in my MBA programme with just two modules to go. I lost my work since July 2019 and still at home without job.

My name is Kenneth from Nigeria, I have been Job hunting since I lost my job couple of months, most times I do crazy things to let my mind off thinking and depression, but yet I find no peace after doing them. Reading the bible verses and words of the Lord in your website has really renewed my spirit and given me a new hope in the Lord.
Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏼
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing. I love the verse Psalm 121:3 “My Protector is always awake” That the Lord is always there to see me through in all my pursuance to take me to the next higher level

I have struggled to get progress and was looking for bible verses to help me praying for progression. i have good qualifications but i do not seem to make any progress, i feel stuck and unfulfilled. I am seeking God to show me the way
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’ve been struggling with spasmodic dysphonia (a rare voice disorder), have been Iiving alone for the past 2 months as my wife and children decided that it is best for the time being and I have been unemployed throughout this entire ordeal after losing my job in September for failing to meet expectations. Thank you for sharing these Bible verses. I find hope and inspiration from God’s words through the Holy Scriptures. It’s been difficult, but it will all be worthwhile. Please pray for me.
We’ve added you to our prayer list. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have a great work ethic and education and I desire to have therapy and benefits I deserve. I am leaning on Deuteronomy 31:8 the Lord himself goes before you: he will never leave your forsake you. Do not be afraid: do not be discouraged. I know that job is soon to come and praising God in advance for it.
Deuteronomy 31:8 is a powerful verse. 🙏🏻
I am extremely worried for my son. He’s been out of a job for so many months now. He is such a capable person yet the positions he is getting are for junior roles. He is totally depressed. It breaks my heart. I try to encourage him with God’s word but he brushes it off not believing in the power of our God. Life has treated him shabbily all these years. He’s just been to an interview. But they are not offering him a senior role, more of a demotion. Even the salary is low. I’m praying so hard for God to show His glory in my child’s life. But nothing seems to be happening. We need prayers. Please help with your prayers. Thank you for the Bible verses. God bless you.
We’ve added him to our prayer list. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It has been 7 long years since I have been searching for the right job for me. I am not jobless but yes I am very much underpaid. Lost the count of applications and interviews I have been through… But one good thing I have learned in my life, God is able to feed me well in that less money, my bills are paid on time, my necessities are taken care of. I did not need to ask other people for financial help. I have been in good health to continue my job. God has been protecting me from all evil tactics of people and unseen world. Sometimes I worry about my savings for I don’t have a bank balance…because all the less money I earned got spent up…but I know that Jesus is my God of tomorrow…He who owns everything and the sparrows he feeds…so I have placed my tomorrow in my God’s hands… Jesus is my only hope, trusting in Him gives me peace that money, people and this world cannot give. I love MATTHEW 6:33, SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU….God knows what we need, more than anything else we need JESUS….I LOVE JESUS AND JESUS LOVES ME.
Thank you so much for sharing. I love how you said “Jesus is my God of tomorrow.” Yes, He definitely is. 🙏🏻
I believe I was lead to this message board for a reason today. Thank you for reminding me not to be discouraged and not give up. I was laid off recently and not very long into my job search but I ask Jesus to keep me going and that I not get weary. When I do, I know trusting him is what will keep me going. I pray for all of us here who find themselves in similar situations. I pray the right job will come along. I ask for strength and encouragement and the courage to not give up. In Jesus name I pray Amen 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing – I know you’ve encouraged others! 🙏🙏🙏
IN THE CURRENT SEASON OF MY LIFE HAS BEEN VERY TRYING. 51YRS. OLD AND NO HOME, NO TRANSPORTATION, NO JOB SEEMS AS IF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS SITTING ON ME. AND SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WILL SQUEEZE ALL THE AIR OUT MY LUNGS. THEN I CAME ACROSS YOUR WEBSITE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE MORE I READ THE SCRIPTURES OF THE WORD OF GOD IT SEEMS TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. THAT IF I REMAIN POSTIVE THROUGH THE TRIAL POSTIVE THINGS WILL HAPPEN. I AM GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR YOUR TIME AND INSPIRATION TO SHARE FROM YOUR HEART TO THE HURTING IN THIS WORLD. PEACE, LOVE, LIGHT, AND BLESSINGS
You’re so welcome. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Psalm 121 puts me at peace
I love how God’s Word does that.🙏🏻
Your last words got me emotional: When you can’t trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
I’ve been unemployed for almost four months. I had my first interview in November which is from my dream company and dream job. The rest of the companies I applied to rejected me. I wanted to think that the reason why everybody rejected me and only one accepted me is because it is really meat for me. Fast forward, 3 months after, I still haven’t got it. I had another interview last month and still I’m waiting. This waiting makes me anxious everyday. I tried applying on other jobs but to no avail. I’m a single mother of 2, living alone in another country away from my kids, currently undergoing a divorce, without money, my visa is about to expire in 23 days. I really don’t know what to do or what to think else. Even the thought of suicide is coming to my head which I know is totally wrong.
But if there’s one thing I learned during this season of waiting, it is to pray more and lean only to God. Your words touched my heart. The scriptures you highlighted helped me now. I am thinking another day has passed that nothing happened again but I am growing closer to God this time more than ever.
Thank you for your inspiring message.
Thank you for sharing. It’s so important during times of discouragement to draw close to God in prayer, but also to reach out to others. Don’t let yourself get isolated and alone. I encourage you to share how you’re feeling with family, friends in your community, and take advantage of local resources. 🙏🏻
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.(Psalm 145:18)
Love that verse – thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻
Jenny,
Thanks a lot for the well explained and encouraging verses.
I am believing God for a job for my Son Jason who has been job hunting for years. Please help me pray.
God bless you.
You’re so welcome. We’ve added him to our prayer list. 🙏🏻
i was awakened in a panic attack on Mon morn at 3a. I couldn’t focus but I knew I needed to connect w the Lord & He led me to this page & these verses and… WOW! Instantly blessed & reassured. Ur closing verse also was perfect– I struggled to trace His hand but He helped me to trust His heart. Thank you!!!
You’re so welcome. I am so thankful God used the verses in this post to meet you in your time of need, Stefani! 🙏
May God bless you it has really helped me
So glad to hear that. 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for the verses. I am believing God to open opportunity for my son and I believe he is the great I am, the Lord of all flesh and that nothing is impossible with him in our lives.
Amen and amen. 🙏🏻
Although I am not job hunting, lately, I’ve been feeling so tired and hopeless. When a friend sent me a link to your blog post today, I found it encouraging.
I especially liked the verse about seeing the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I found it particularly comforting during these times of unrest in my country. It’s nice to be reminded that He doesn’t just reserve His goodness and justice for the afterlife. Gal 6:9 and Rom 15:4 also convicted me since I haven’t been vigilant and perseverant in my walk with God recently. Trust has always been a deeply rooted struggle for me in most areas of my life and I think I’m just really discouraged recently to see that I’m still struggling with many of the same issues I’ve had for over a decade now.
Sounds like you’re continuing to fight the good fight – that’s the key. I know most believers can relate – thanks so much for sharing. 🙏
Hello Jenny,
I wrote to you on March 11, 2022 requesting you to help me pray for my Son Jason who needed a job.
Today, I write to thank God for answered prayer.
Thank you for adding my Son to your Prayer List. Thank you for finding time from your busy schedule to pray for my Son.
My Son was offered employment on 13 July 2022. This was after 4 years and 4 months of job hunting.
Glory be to God!
God richly bless all the work you are doing.
Madren
Praising God with you – thank you so much for sharing! 🙏
Thank you for empowering us with these verses and reminding us we are more than conquerors through our Lord.
Psalm 27:14 Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
This verse reminds me that through the process we need to endure in patience as we keep the faith that God is moving in our favor. He does not withhold his blessings from his children.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love Psalm 27:14. I agree – God doesn’t give up on His plan for us, and we shouldn’t give up on trusting Him. 🙏
Very inspiring word of God. Am 55 years old with no job, no home,and no business but God has provided for me somehow one of my favorite is “ The Lord is my Shepherd,I shall not want . Proverbs 23:1
Psalm 23:1. Love that verse too – thank you for sharing! 🙏
I am anxiously awaiting to hear about jobs I have applied. I am leaning on these scriptures for strength and peace in knowing God heard my cries and knows my desires. Thank you so much!
You’re so welcome. 🙏
I’m looking for the job God has for me.
🙏🙏🙏
Hi i went for an interview on 30th July 2022 and am praying to get the job and my heart is telling me this is it.Am requesting for your prayers
🙏🙏🙏
Dear Jenny
Thank you for the encouraging scriptures. I just decided to pull myself away from distraction and went to a secluded quiet place to seek the Lord in my situation of unemployment, applying for the skilled worker visa jobs to no avail, laid off on the 8th of July while I was in the process of discreetly tendering applications for the skilled worker visa. Could not stand the toxicity at the work place and also that the home office is no longer renewing permits for foreign workers.
Have been tailor making the CVs everytime but to no avail. But of late when I decided to seek hearing from God, I have been strengthened to soldier on. And today the Holy spirit further ministered to me through the God Inspired scriptures you shared.
I even sold the car I had to be able to do certain courses in line with the health skilled worker visa. I have all papers they need and hoping they will one day consider me irrespective of not having ground experience because they have stated boldly that experience is not a requirement since they will offer training. I do not want to be tempted to lie about jobs I did not do as that will short circuit God’s power. I am also looking for employment in the Residential homes for children since I have worked with children my entire career life.
Thank you once again Jenny. Include me in your job prayer request list. God bless you 🙏
Thanks for sharing, Mercy. God is at work – hang in there. 🙏🙏🙏
These are soo encouraging. I am schedulled for interview God willing tomorrow but i believe that i will come out as the best and most prefered candidate in Jesus name. Amen
Hope you got the job! 🙏
Jenny,
Thanks so much for publishing these. I am desperately looking for a job right now. I’ve been so frustrated. I kept hearing “overqualified” over and over. Now things seem to be looking up a little so hopefully something will happen soon. After I read these yesterday I sent a link to my best friend who is also looking for a new job. I talked to her by phone later and said, “did you read them out loud?” She said yes and that she cried while reading them. I did exactly the same thing. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
I love that you are encouraging one another and that you each read these verses out loud – so powerful!! Thank you for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏
My husband has been out of Job for over 2years and sometimes I feel like God is not looking at us but I have come to believe that there is time for everything and as God has promised us so shall we receive.
It can definitely be hard during these seasons of waiting for God’s plan to come together. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you fr putting together these verses. I have an interview tomorrow. Getting that contract would mean so much to my family.
You’re welcome. I hope you got the job! 🙏
Hi.
I am in a job search for the past 1 month. Request your prayer for me to take care of my career, life and family.
Let the will of LORD ALMIGHTY be done as I don’t know what’s good for me.
