Your skills, academic prowess, networks, and connections in your profession alone might not be enough to scale through professional hurdles such as getting promoted in the workplace.
Believers should not be trapped in the notion that we should only take big burdens and worries to the Lord.
As Corrie Ten Boom says, “Any concern too small to be turned into prayer is too small to be made a burden.”
We need God’s divine favour in all areas our lives and our professional lives inclusive. And certainly God is interested in our career well-being, so when we pray for our job, it’s within His will.
When we connect our hearts to God in prayer, God is moved in his mercy of work on our behalf. He has the power to upturn our moments of misery to miracle like he did for Nehemiah in Nehemiah chapter 2 verses 4 to. 8.
As you trust God for promotion in your career, here are some potent prayers to pray with scriptures.
Praying with scriptures is good because that helps us to pray in faith, bringing forth our strong reasons as we align ourselves to God’s divine purpose for us.
