Job search is a topic that is relevant for every person. In today's world, you can’t just go into the field, into the forest and get food there or cut logs to build a house. There is no way to “fill up the mammoth” otherwise than to earn money and buy what you need on it. Accordingly, each person who has grown up and has escaped from parental care needs to earn money.
Of course, everyone is striving to get a workplace with the highest possible benefits, a full social package, a “white” salary, a normalized clear schedule and with not particularly difficult responsibilities. If the labor activity is also interesting, promising and not causing a feeling of boredom or internal protest, then such work, according to most people, is ideal.
In order to find just such a workplace, people are ready for a lot, including prayer offering. However, one often encounters the fact that a prayer addressed to the saints or the Lord himself does not help, like all other ways of interacting with the energy space, but simply conspiracies, talismans, and so on. Why is this happening? In what situations do you need to pray for help, and when is it not worth it?
Why does prayer not help?
There are many reasons why the prayer “so that the employer does not help” does not help. Usually they take a job not only according to the impression the applicant makes during the interview, but also taking into account his skills, experience, personal qualities, education and other similar factors. In other words, not a single plea will help to sit in the chair of the director of an oil concern simply by coming from the street and having no education, except for school. This means that success requires not only prayer, but also claims appropriate to the possibilities.
Another reason that prayer is not heard is the motivation of the person who utters it. Usually a person asks for himself and for no one else. This means that the motivation for applying for a particular job is as follows - "Lord, help me get this place, when they give an advance, I will buy a new iPhone." Of course, this is an extremely simplified and extremely primitive example, but it reflects the essence of the intentions and thoughts of many people praying for help in finding employment. Meanwhile, selfishness, pride, greed, and other similar qualities that bloom in all their glory with a given motivation to seek a good job are not virtues. That is, in this case, the prayer is not read with a pure heart and good intentions, but with the presence of hidden intentions. Of course, higher powers do not heed her.
Another reason why the prayer being read in order to get a job is not heard, is the lack of hope in it. As a rule, there is no humility in it, there is only a requirement. Simply put: "Drop everything and get me a job, urgently." This approach, of course, is very pragmatic, in life it brings a lot of benefits, but in prayer it only harms. The Lord and the saints are not genies from a fairy lamp, they do not fulfill whims and desires, but help those who really need it.
Often the situation with prayers for work resembles an old joke about a person asking to send a prize to the lottery, the same one in which the Lord tells the applicant about the need to buy a ticket and participate in the drawing. That is, praying and doing nothing at the same time is the wrong tactic. You need to search, send resumes, improve your professional level in all possible ways, attend interviews, fill out questionnaires, and in case of refusals try to find out their cause. You need to constantly work on yourself and be active. Then God will certainly help and direct exactly where you need it.
And of course, the main reason that heaven remains indifferent to prayer is the lack of faith in the soul and heart of those who seek help. Without sincere, absolute faith in the power of the Lord, one does not need to begin to pray. In any request to God, it is not words that are important, but the deep and unconditional faith of the one who pronounces them.
What does prayer need to help?
Of course, in order to help prayer get a good job, faith in God must be present in the soul of a person. If you pray at the same time, hang your arms and neck with the talismans of voodoo, druids, put a copper coin under your heel or do something else, then there will be no sense. Praying to the Lord, one should trust him. More precisely, to entrust your fate in God's hands, to ask for direction and help, and not to pronounce the learned words “just in case”.
However, besides faith, something else is required. You need to understand yourself and understand what it is - “good work” and why it is necessary. In the event that among the answers there will be only the possibility of satisfying desires and needs, prayer can not begin. Non-salary and the ability to acquire something should be the main motivators for getting a job. The first thoughts to come to mind are that the desired work is necessary and useful to people, in demand by them.
In other words, read to get a job, a prayer will always be heard if a person wants to work for the benefit of others, bring benefits, and not just sit out on a chair and fill their pockets.
Of course, there are situations in which it is difficult to motivate yourself with the usefulness and necessity of labor. For example, if there is nothing to pay for housing or there is nothing to buy food for. But under such circumstances, people usually do not look for a good job, but clutch at the offers that they are given, gratefully accepting them.
When is prayer needed?
Prayer for a successful job placement, like any other, is a natural need for a believer who seeks to enlist the protection of the Lord and saints before important actions or deeds. But, in addition to the internal need for seeking help and patronage of higher powers, there are other factors that indicate the need to read prayers.
Of course, you need a prayer to get a new job. Appeal to the Lord or saints will not only contribute to the emergence of circumstances favorable for a person, but will also help him to collect himself internally, calm down his excitement, and feel self-confidence.
It is necessary to turn to God for help even when a person wants to return to his old workplace. As a rule, people feel confident that where they are not there, it is several times better - higher wages, fewer responsibilities, more interesting activity itself, more pleasant team. Often, they are also convinced that at the current workplace their abilities are not adequately appreciated. As a rule, these thoughts arise, if not at all out of the blue, then on the basis of insignificant trifles. These are temptation thoughts with the help of which the evil one inflates vices in the human soul - pride, anger, greed and others. Having succumbed to them, people defiantly quit, but after some time they realize that they didn’t do the right thing, they begin to regret, in other words, they repent. Of course, in such circumstances, prayer is needed to be taken back to the previous job. It is necessary to ask God not only about the fact of taking back, but also about protection from temptations and destructive doubts, bad thoughts.
Prayer is also required for those who worry about their loved ones, children or parents. Such requests never go unnoticed, because they are filled not only with hope, but also with care and selflessness, the thoughts of a person praying for others are invariably pure.
It is necessary to visit the temple, put a candle and pray in the situation when you can’t get a job without any objective reason for this. That is, a person does not show excessive requests, has all the necessary skills, is pleasant in communication, disciplined and hardworking. But for some not very clear reason, he is everywhere denied. A person lowers the bar and bypasses already less prestigious, simple vacancies, those places where, in principle, they take everyone, for example, retail outlets at street stops. But here, for completely unclear reasons, he is faced with failures. Such a situation simply requires a temple visit and a cleansing prayer, as it can lead to despair and loss of faith in one's own strength.
Who to pray for?
Prayer to get a job is read by many saints, Our Lady and, of course, most often believers turn to the Lord himself.
It is believed that the greatest strength is the prayer, addressed to:
- Matrona of Moscow;
- St. Spyridon;
- Nicholas the Wonderworker;
- to the great martyr Tryphon.
However, this does not mean at all that other holy saints will not help a person who has difficulty in finding work.
How to pray Matrona of Moscow?
Not only those who seek work for themselves, but also worry about their loved ones, who wish them a better share, success, realization and prosperity, turn to Matron for help. During her life, Matron did not refuse help to any afflicted. She prayed to the Lord for a person, regardless of the severity or the kind of disaster in which he was. Of course, while in heaven, the saint does not remain indifferent to the aspirations and troubles of men.
Most often the fathers and mothers say the prayer to Matronushka so that they take a daughter or son to work. The words of this prayer, like any other, are not so important. You can pray with your own phrases and by reading the finished texts.
An example of a prayer text for finding work for children is: “Blessed old woman, the blessed Matronushka, our protector and intercessor in the eyes of the Lord and his throne in heaven! Don’t leave my (name of the child) at a difficult time, help me find a good job and direct my feet to places that are charitable. Take away from the child the wicked and deceivers, do not let the soul of the weak to know the vices and temptations of the wicked. "
Children who worry about their parents also turn to Matron. Nowadays, in churches, prayers are often read to be hired by mother, fathers are asked much less often. This is probably due to the large number of not quite complete families. But be that as it may, the prayer of a child who sincerely believes in God's help has incredible power.
An example of such a prayer: “Holy Matronushka, hear me! I pray you, send my mother good luck on my way! Let her meet good people, with heartless and sympathetic hearts! Let my mom find my work is not very hard, dignified and stable. With a lot of money so that she did not consider every ruble, but could rejoice in the light of God. ”
Children's prayers, as a rule, are pronounced in their own words and their texts are devoid of ornate, they are simple and unsophisticated, naive. Maybe that's why they are always heard.
How to pray to St. Tryphon?
People address this saint literally with all their urgent needs. He is asked for help in finding housing, teaching children, getting rid of vicious passions and evil thoughts, for cleansing houses of evil spirits and much more. Of course, quite often a prayer is said before his image in order to get a job: “Tryphon, the great martyr of Christ, who has suffered for faith, hear me (proper name), do not disregard the lamentations of the world and the troubles of vanity. I beg you for help in my need for daily bread. Help, holy martyr, do not let me know the troubles and famines, the scrip and the severity of life. Do not let me know the wanderings and the shelter to lose. Help me find a worthy place, do godly deeds, and benefit people. Do not know extortions and tricks, meet honest people in your search. Guide the saint, teach and save me (proper name). ”
Of course, you can pray to the saint with simple words that come directly from the heart. The main thing that should be when reading a prayer for a good job is a person’s faith, and what words are pronounced to them is not so important.
How to pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker?
This saint is one of the most revered in Orthodoxy. People have long been going to the images of Nicholas the Ugodnik with all their sorrows, concerns, troubles, difficulties. And there have been no cases in which prayer in front of the icon of St. Nicholas would not bring relief in life's circumstances. Of course, often in the churches the prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for work is also heard.
Usually this saint is asked for help simply, in their own words. In the old days, in villages, he began to pray with this appeal: “Nikolai the Miracle Worker, father. Nikolai Ugodnik, father. ” And after these words they told about their needs and asked for help.
A prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for work may be this: “The holy saint Nicholas, who does not abandon our aspirations. Our intercessor is before the Lord and the patron saint is merciful. Help me (proper name) find a good, worthy, good job. Pray God Almighty for mercy, for attention to my life and worldly affairs. Do not let me know the ordeals of all kinds and dashing troubles, do not let me experience deprivation and hunger. Help me find a place after my heart where good deeds are done, pleasing to people and to the Lord. ”
A prayer for a husband to take a good job, addressed to St. Nicholas, may be:
“Nikolai the Miracle Worker, father! Hear me (proper name) and listen to my sorrows, but women's troubles. My spouse (name) is in a long search, he can’t find a place for himself after all in his heart, but with a good income. All exhausted, there is no urine to watch, but nothing to help. Do not leave me Nicholas the Wonderworker, help bring peace and peace back to the house, give my husband the business he needs, the best for his soul. Illumine with your mercy, tell me, tell me, send a sign, teach my husband where to go to him, but what can I say, how to show yourself. ”
Of course, they pray to St. Nicholas about finding work as children and parents. The saint is also asked for help in returning to their former place of work.
How to pray to St. Spyridon?
Prayer to Spiridon for work is not much different from similar requests that people make to other holy saints. Spiridon of Trimyfunta from time to time helps believers in the arrangement of their homes, finding a decent job and other troubles and cares.
Prayer to Spiridon for work that is interesting, well-paid and beneficial for society, may be: “Hierarch, our intercessor, Spiridon! I beg you for help in the extraction of daily bread and prosperity in my house. Not for my own sake, but for the benefit of the common, I beg you for help in a difficult matter. Do not leave, reason, indicate where to look for a good job, so that in joy there is, but argue, what would give wealth. Help me, saint, to avoid cunning and dishonesty, do not let me be deceived, send me to a good place. "
Of course, prayer can and should even be pronounced in your own words. Such prayers are always more sincere. When a person speaks from his heart, he does not think about the text, that is, he is not distracted from prayer.
How to pray to Our Lady?
As a rule, in front of the face of the Mother of God, a prayer is said about the placement of children in work, they rarely turn to her for help in their own employment. Of course, parents and especially mothers pray to the Virgin not so much about the fact of employment as about finding a good, prestigious place. About such work that would bring satisfaction to their child, where he could develop, grow in a professional and personal plan. About a place where it would be not only profitable to work, but also interesting.
A prayer before applying for the work of children, addressed to the Mother of God, can be this: “The Blessed Mother of God, who knows all our concerns and aspirations. It saves us from adversity and from sorrows, sending happiness and comforting in distress. Do not leave mine (the name of the child) at its first steps in an adult's life, full of temptations and vice, do not let it stumble, help find a place where there is no anger and greed, no deception and self-interest. Help and direct where charitable, good deeds are done. Do not let my child do harm to people by unreasonableness or from someone else’s command, get rid of temptations and bribery, do not let disappoint and suffer from deception. Direct his thoughts and aspirations to the deeds pleasing to the Lord and people needed. ”
Although, when asking about who to pray for work, the Virgin is usually remembered in connection with the need to employ children, this does not mean that in other situations one should not turn to her for help, instruction or a sign. The mother of God helps not only mothers asking for children, she hears all the aspirations with which they come to her, without any exceptions.
How to pray to the Lord?
As a rule, when it comes to whom to pray for work, people primarily remember not the holy saints, but the Lord himself. They turn to God for any difficulties in life, whatever they are connected with. He is prayed for health and happiness, peaceful sky, prosperity in the house, of course, about finding a good job and much more.
Often, such words are also said in prayers, such as "... so that it would be me who was hired, and not someone else." There is some ambiguity in such requests, because the request involves the separation of one person from another. That is, in fact, praying that no one else would get the place, asks God for privations for other people. It’s wrong, you need to pray for the bestowal of inner confidence in your own strengths, for quick thoughts and favorable circumstances, for luck, without asking to deprive all this of the other applicants for the vacancy. In other words, the Lord should be prayed that he himself will be better, and not that others blunder.
For example: “Lord, Almighty and Almighty, abiding on the throne of heaven and knowing everything that is happening under it, on your land! Help me, your humble servant (proper name), do not leave without your mercy and protection. Grant me, Lord, a good work that is necessary for people and pleasing to your providence. ”
In the event that a person is worried and does not feel confident in his abilities, forgets something, and perhaps begins to stutter or burr at a responsible interview, you need to read “Our Father” or any other prayer to yourself immediately conversation with a potential employer.
