5 Prayers for Work and Employment You Can Use for Assurance and Security

Sometimes, when things do not go the way we want them to as we work, we start to doubt ourselves. Is this the right job for me? Am I walking on the right career path? Am I meant for this? These questions are common especially to workers who face challenges in their careers. When a downfall hits, it is normal to feel discouraged, sad, and defeated—but it must not be for long. We must not dwell on these feelings and instead, use them as your motivation to go on. 

If you feel like your own motivation is not enough for you to feel secure in your current job, then you need an extra push. A push specifically from above is what may make you keep going. This is why we created five prayers for work in different situations you can use to get that assurance and security you’ve been trying to achieve in your career.
