I am full of gratitude to God for this miracle He did. I was fired from my place of work in November, and it seriously was a painful one as I did not have savings to sustain me for a long time.
Hence, I immediately started applying for jobs, I didn’t tell anyone about my unemployed situation. I had hopes of getting job the next month as I was already getting into the final stages of some interviews but they all were not successful.
I kept on praying and studying the Bible and suddenly I got an interview invite from a Big company that I had previously written their test about 5 months ago.
I prayed fervently to God, shed some tears and asked that by His mercy He should make this interview a success… to the Glory of God, I got an offer from the company just the next day after the interview.
I am really thankful and I want you to believe that there is nothing impossible for God to do, we just need to stay close to him.
God never fails, may His grace sustain and keep you in Jesus name amen.
Nice to hear that sir…indeed its a miracle from heaven godbless and have nice day ..
Thank you for this testimony! I am in a similar position, and have been struggling to keep my faith up when applying for jobs. I had also lent some money to a dear friend last year, and to date, have not received any of it back, so my financial situation is terrible. I came here for encouragement, and I am now positive that I will write such a testimony very soon, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Praying to testify too very soon. Being unemployed for 9 months now and I have completely lived through my savings . God please have mercy on me .
Thank you God. I have been unemployed for four years now! I have lived through all my savings, as a single mum I am very terrified however I pray God will see me through to share some of this testimony.
Lord, let your life flow in and through Miriam, your blessings and job be made manifest to her in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son.
As you have asked for the provision of job in the name of Jesus, may the Lord grant you good job. May the Lord give you testimony to share, in Jesus name we have prayed.

Father, create a vision in Anon chi’s heart. Open her eyes and show her your miracle in her path as she runs forward to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask this. Amen.

May divine favour rest upon you so that you will be greatly favoured for a good job. May you return soonest with great testimony to the glory of God, in Jesus name we have prayed.

Anne, I pray that God enters into your situation and manifests the job he has for you. May you be filled with the knowledge of God‘s will for you concerning work. In Jesus name. Amen..
Please pray for my Job, I have been struggling to secure a good job for over 2 years, despite good grades and a degree I have been facing hurdles and rejections, I need a job and divine help in my personal hardships. I believe Lord can get me out of this amen.
I am also unemployed since December 21, 2023. after 2-3 months I was anxious. I prayed hard while waiting for my working permit and visa status here in Canada. I asked God forgiveness for not having a job and I have just few money left to survived. I tried hard to apply for job but unfortunately, I haven’t got hired. I even tried to put advertisement on any bulletin board hoping that I may have one. I realized I haven’t neglected my relationship to God since working for 11 years in Thailand as a teacher. Now, got here and no job I tried to think and think what have I done.
I remembered I was in Zurich airport before was so thirsty, I tried to withdraw some money but I couldn’t I prayed that Lord I want to drink some water. God quickly gave me a help someone help me and gave me some coin. Now, I realized I may not have a job for almost 5 months now but I have a got a right job to work on. It is to restore my faith for the longer years I have been stuck working this is just almost 5 months of no job but I spent much of my time working. God never abandoned me; He gave me wisdom to utulize it fairly. Jesus wanted me to intimately connect with Him in all my ways. The flow of God spirit continuously, I found myself educating with God’s word almost every day reading the bible and interesting verse that reminds me how big is God compared to my difficulties. I love this verse
JEREMIAH 29:11 NIV:
This verse made me realized everything that God gave me rest and seek wisdom to connect with Him wholeheartedly.
I kept myself busy reading and always on the positive sides though some people criticized me of not having a job I kept my faith higher. Because I know the final decision is from the Lord. I got rejected from different works even volunteering jobs. I still waiting for God’s timing. It strengthens my faith and it is a test and temporary. There is nothing to worry when we surrender to God and guard our heart and words. If we live and make God’s words our daily bread we become strong, we do that things continuously that will develop our relationship to Him. Frustration, anger, sadness, and hopeless these are the different measurements of life’s test. But all of this is sign of weakness, weakness of faith. Sometimes an empty plate needs to be empty purposefully enable to fill in new one. I came to realize that I have to resist from those weakness and focus on working on the job that gave me and that is my intimate relationship to God. My once empty but it never be empty long.
Jesus said, we have to seek Him first as God is working silently and blessing will come unexpectedly. My door of employment is empty at the moment, it is just a sign that God is preparing a place for me to work in. In His perfect time, once God’s light comes out from that door of employment I know He will bless me more than I deserved. The light from that door will shine and never ends. The light of hope.
Father, I pray that you set a new job before Narlet, the job that you have for her. May she grow and prosper and bless others as a result. Your will be accomplished in her. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen.
I never got a chance to express my testimony in my existence. This platform gave me great opportunity to be part of it and extend God words to others. Thank you so much.
Thanks for your encouraging words, Narlet. Thank you for sharing and feel free to post again.
Your FIGHT versus your FAITH
Life is full of test. Sometimes the roadmap looks blurry and narrow. Sometimes we have to experience the test to know the result. Ofteness we always focus on the outcome not the process. Life is when you breath. Life is when you see the beauty of every morning and have peace when you go to be. This is how I qouted what life should be. Other people defined life as SUCCESS and FAILURE. However, based on my experience especially staying here in Canada for almost 5 months. I have experience different situations that strengthen my faith.
My first stepped here in Canada one thing I have observed compared to the country I have been. The SMILE, seldom to see people ear their smile. I tried to ask verbal survey with my friends and acquaintances. They gave me different opinions.
1. Tax to death
Some of them said, in CANADA you pay TAX to death. I thought okay, but at the back of my mind it is obligatory as even in the bible on Romans 13:6-7, St. Paul writes, “That is also why you pay taxes, because the authorities are working for God when they fulfill their duties. Pay, then, what you owe them; pay your personal and property taxes and show respect and honor for them all.” Sometimes people focused on something they thought should be heavy for them to carry. Tax isn’t a punishment it is where every country made it as mandatory. We must also remember that every penny that we pay of tax is also a helping hand that we share not only for the country but for the needy where the government supported. It would be great if we look on the positive sides of what can help others through paying tax than what can we receive. When some people in Canada continues to think that tax made them suffer it triggers the negativity in the mind of every individual. This is not your destination we are paying temporarily. We are not fighting for societal obligation we are fighting for individual reaction because of mandatory tax obligation.
2. level of stress or depression
This might the reason why some people I could not see the smile on their faces. People work hard to survive to sustain their family. To pay for mortgage, to pay for insurance, to pay for car, rent, food and school expenses. What if we say to ourselves, I should pay for myself too. In the other words, take a breath and reward yourself. Not focusing mainly on the obligatory payments. Reward yourself with a breathable thoughts. Those payments will continue but if we inhale and exhale saying, I should not think about my salary will only fall to all payments queued up. Pay yourself with a moment of silence in a park where you can find peace and let go of yourself to think of all the unending payments. Pay your minds with all the goodness which result of your payments. It is like the company pays us then we pay all the expenses and now pay yourself. We all deserve something for ourselves. Not only money but having peace in a moment of silence and reward ourselves with a grateful smile. Like get our family walk in the park have some picnic we do not need to pay sitting on thew park instead it repays us, as we have quality time for our family. Buy yourself something you deserve after working like a horse. Have time with your friends just have some chitchat, exercise and do something fun. Isn’t it nice to experience this in small period of time. This is what we deserve. We are repaying ourselves by giving a break and stop on overthinking. Give ourselves a peaceful mind and heart. God gave us the wisdom to use it and find alternative solution.
If we think of stress, we become stressful. What we think is what we become. Depression is not because of other people or a situation that triggers you to focus your mind on over thinking. Nobody causes it. It is human reaction on a certain situation that that triggers and stuck human mind. Depression is also abusing ourselves of too much thinking. We see ourselves us a problem. Human mind is so powerful and dangerous. Dangerous if we overused. Sometimes we abuse ourselves, then it falls to depression. Simple encounter with other people we easily get mad. Only few mistake of your loved ones or friends. Easily get upset why not talk, if you cannot talk just have a break then get back and talk. Open and honest communication if more important than thinking cannot fix a simple problem. Arguing and thinking about the mistake of others cannot help but can increase stress. Have you got fired from work and no job take a deep breath. Rest yourself and continue to find a job don’t give up. Take a break but continue the journey. Not having a job is not a failure do not get stress or depress. Remember Matthew 6:33 once said,
Lost your job no problem; seek Christ Jesus. Business got down no problem take a deep breath have faith stand firm even tree fallen it leaves and grow other leaves in it season. Got an argument with your family, loved ones, boss or colleagues. Sickness like cancer may one factor that absorb stress or depression. Overcome with full of faith and do something. Change your lifestyle. Give yourself a love and loving kindness.
Psalm 41:3
“The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.”
Cast all your worries to the Lord. Change your mind to combat the illness and be positive that the Lord your God will rescue you. Stay calm and do not allow certain people to consume you. Too much worry does not produce a cure, it produces complication. Do not fill in your bin with the negative trashes of the world take it out and throw it away imagine when it is full it will make you sick. LET IT GO. Do something to overcome the stress and not allow to ruin your mental health. Do meditation. Do not allow any amount of chaotic situation trigger your anger and become stressful. If you are stress LET IT GO. Do not keep collecting it. Bear in mind this – Philippians 4:6:
Release it do not keep it, allow God to take hold your frustrations. Make no room for anger and unresolve fights. Forgive and be positive. Your fight with others does not help solve the problem or situation. You have nothing to fight wiht others, once you did you are also fighting for yourself. You only have a good fight as God fight for you. Jesus opens His hands to cover you with strength, wisdom and faith. Seek Him first.
3. Battling Financially
Many people did the crime due to financial contrains. They found easy way to get money without thinking about the consequence. Couple fought because has no money to pay for bills. Siblings argued because of money. Students became depressed due to financial need for tuition fees and living expenses. Capital lost because of business. The global financial crisis in every country affect every individual. But we may ask ourselves. Are we seriously fighting for all the circumstances in life or are we battling for ourselves. Our worst enemy is other people, nor our financial status. Perhaps we are battling within ourselves.
1 Peter 2:12 NLT said, “Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.” It implies how we behave when it comes to money. Especially when we experience financial difficulties. Calibrate ourselves working on our faith. There are things that God can do according to His timeframe. We cannot please God financially if our faith is not strong enough.
2 Corinthians 2:7- “For we have to walk by faith not by sight.” Sometimes we only see the financial lost not the lost of our faith to restore. Be confident that financial lost woould not bend you down. Strengthen our faith and find other alternative ways is wisdom.
The battle is not found in the world; it is hidden within ourselves. Stand and be a soldier of God. Shield ourselves with FAITH, that no battles can rule over our lives even our own selves. When get wounded because of the cross that we carried we just step back and rest. Then continue to carry it with a fighting spirit. We all are too close to the gate of Victory with Christ Jesus.
This Life is not balance! said my best friend
