Prayers for Your Career: Prayer for the Unhappy Employee
Heavenly Father,
“I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm34:1 NKJV) I am grateful for Your many blessings. I am thankful for my current job. But, I am not totally satisfied with my career. I feel as if there is something missing. I feel that I am not where I should be. God, only you know what is best. You know the path I should take to fulfillment at work. Please anoint my thinking and assist me in making wise decisions. I trust You with my life. You know everything! Thank You for leading me to a better employment situation. I stand on your word in Psalm 32:8 (NKJV) “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen
Empowering individuals who realize their career success should not be a matter of luck, but a mission of decision, prayer, and determination.

In The Black: Live Faithfully, Prosper Financially by Aaron W. Smith with Brenda Lane Richardson
At first I thought the book might just be another “these are the steps to becoming financially free” book. However, I was surprised to find that this book was enveloped with stories about everyday working people and the challenges they faced with saving for retirement and handling their finances. The stories were colorful and each one had a lesson. In addition, the book is also a workbook and journal which allows the reader to reflect at the end of each chapter on their financial situation and record their thoughts. I was intrigued to find a scripture at the end of each chapter. I thought this book would be appropriate for this encouragement blog because we all know that we want God to bless the work of our hands, but what should we do with the money?
