The Prayer

Father, You are the source of all wisdom and the giver of every gift. As I prepare for this job interview, calm my heart and guide my words. Help me to present my skills and experiences with honesty and confidence. Grant me clarity of mind, peace of spirit, and trust in Your plan. If this opportunity is right for me, open the door; if not, lead me to the path You have prepared. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
