Prayer of the Day

Lord, the interview is almost here. I've pressed the shirt, printed the resume, and rehearsed my answers in the mirror — now I'm handing You the part I can't control.

Calm my nerves in the waiting room chair. When they say "tell me about yourself," untangle my tongue and bring the right words. Help me remember my own accomplishments — the ones that scatter the moment I get nervous — and speak of them honestly, without bragging and without shrinking.

Let the interviewers see me clearly, Lord: not just the resume, but the worker, the person who will show up and do this job well. Give me good questions to ask and the sense to listen more than I perform.

And Father, about the outcome — I want this job. You know how much. But You see the whole road and I see one door. If this is my door, swing it wide. If it isn't, close it kindly and keep me walking, because somewhere there is a chair with my name on it.

Either way, I'll walk out of that room with my head up.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank You, Father, for this day now ending.

For food on the table and a place to sleep. For work done and rest coming. For the people who love me, and the mercy that met me every hour, seen and unseen.

I didn't earn a minute of it. Receive my thanks — it's all I have to give back tonight, and You've never asked for more.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
