St. Jude Prayer for the Unemployed

Unemployment

Pray to St. JudeLord Jesus, my desire to work is itself your gift. You made me with talents so I could shine your light to all the world. Send your spirit to guide me to work that will provide security and joy, and most of all the ability to serve you in love. St. Jude, I do not know where I am going, so I turn to you for direction, hope, and courage. Bless my spirit with the determination to press on. Give my heart patience and fortitude. Help me, dear friend, to know that God’s plan for me is forged out of love. Amen.

Post your prayer or petition below for those struggling with unemployment. Or if you would like, send your special intentions for those struggling with unemployment to the altar of St. Jude at the National Shrine of St. Jude where it will be prayed for by the Claretians.

    I had a Great Interview the other as a College Admissions adviser For for a position National American University .I would be a very good candidate and the job is a perfect fit for me and my goals and objectives. The position not only includes the standard benefits package but also FREE tuition. As I have been unemployed for over two years I need employment. It would be very refreshing to use this to reach my next threshold. Let us pray that the eyes of those making the decision would be opened to the benefits hiring me would provide them with. And also pray that when I am hired that I do a great job for them and that I not lose sight of my other objectives but not let my other endeavors to interfere with my performance at this job.
