A young woman was sitting in her living room, feeling hopeless. She had been struggling to find a job for months, and she was starting to lose faith. She didn’t know what she was going to do.
She picked up her Bible and opened it to Matthew 7. She read the verses over and over again. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened.”
She took a deep breath and started to pray. She prayed for God to help her find a job. She prayed for God to give her the strength to keep going. She prayed for God to show her the way.
She prayed for a long time, and when she was finished, she felt a sense of peace. She knew that God had heard her prayers, and she knew that God would help her.
The next day, the young woman went to the library and started looking for job postings. She found a few that she was interested in, and she sent out her resume.
A few days later, she got a call from a company that she had applied to. They wanted to interview her!
The young woman was so excited. She went to the interview, and she did her best. She felt like she had a good chance of getting the job.
A few weeks later, the young woman got a call from the company. They offered her the job!
The young woman was so happy. She knew that God had answered her prayers. She had finally found a job.
The young woman went on to have a successful career. She was promoted several times, and she eventually became the CEO of her company. She never forgot the lesson she learned that day. She always remembered that God is always there for us, and that he will help us if we ask for his help.
“For everyone who keeps on asking receives. He who keeps on seeking finds. To him who keeps on knocking the door will be opened.”
Matthew 7:7-8
