God, our Father,
I turn to You seeking Your Divine help and guidance
In a world suffering from unemployment,
I need Your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path,
and to lead me to find the proper things to say
and do in this quest.
I wish to use the gifts and talents You have given me,
but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.
Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search,
but rather grant me this favor I seek
so that I may return to You with praise
and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
