Offered Better Position After Resting in the Lord

For months, I searched in vain for a job. When the lockdown came in 2020, my chances were even slimmer. I was 31 with no formal job experience. I did not see how God could come through for me, and I suffered anxiety and depression.

I got hold of Joseph Prince’s book Live the Let-Go Life. I was filled with hope and peace whenever I read the book. Whenever I felt discouraged, I read the testimony of the lady who had been laid off from work and later ended up blessed beyond her expectations with a new job and position.

At my lowest point, I told the Lord I was tired. I felt Him leading me to apply for the jobs I was interested in and to stop applying to every job I saw because that caused more stress.

In one of his sermons, Pastor Prince encouraged people to not just pray for a job but to also pray for a position. I did not see how this could be possible since I never had a real job or formal work experience. But I rested in and trusted the Lord for everything. I applied for more jobs and started to get some requests from companies asking me to do assessments. They did not call me back for interviews, but I could see there was a shift now. At least the companies were responding to my applications.

In November 2020, during the pandemic, I got in touch with a human resource personnel on a job website. She asked me to send in my resumé. A week later, she called to let me know that I got the job! She gently advised me to consider the software engineer associate position within the same company. I took the position. I was excited as the perks exceeded my expectations. The salary was almost double what I had asked.

I would like to thank Pastor Prince for the words of encouragement and the preaching of God’s grace. Thank you, Joseph Prince Ministries, for sharing Christ-centered teachings. To anyone unemployed, I would like to say don’t give up. God sees you and cares for you, and He will bless you above and beyond your expectations. To God be the glory!
