a prayer for a job promotion


a prayer for a job promotion is from God's Help For Your Every Need, written by Mark Gilroy, published by Howard Books.
God's Help is a book of prayers on specific topics that I worked on a year ago and that was published by Howard Books (Simon & Schuster) in 2012. The 101 prayers are organized into six categories:

Home and Family
Attitudes and Emotions
Work and Finances
Spiritual Growth
My World and Nation
Mission and Service

This is the third sample prayer I've posted - and this is an example of how specific the prayers are.  I look forward to posting two more sample prayers over the next couple of Sundays.


For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” - Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

When so many people are out of work I am grateful that You have blessed me with the means to a livelihood. I know that with a roof over my head and food on the table I already live better than many in the world.

So it is with a sense of gratitude for all I already have and have been given that I come to You with the request for promotion. I truly believe You have planted in my heart the desire to grow in my skills, to assume greater responsibilities, to exercise leadership to a greater degree in ways that helps others to grow.

I pray first of all that You would help me to walk worthy of a promotion. Reveal in my heart and spirit ways that I need to grow and personally improve to be ready for promotion. I pray that You will bless my work and influence and that all I do will positively contribute to the growth of my company and the workers around me.  I pray that You will bring me and my work to the attention of those in positions to offer promotion.

But I affirm that promotion ultimately comes from You and I will not forget to thank and praise You for Your work on my behalf. 

That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. - Abraham Lincoln
