So, I’ve guided you through this walk in which I talk about looking for jobs post-grad and each day seems harder. I’m learning that in these moments, this is when I need to trust God most.
One of my favorite devotional books is Dialogues with Silence by Thomas Merton. There are great prayers in this book. The prayer that is sustaining me throughout this job search and just about this idea of the future in general is this:
You know my soul. You know all that needs to be done there. Do it in Your own way. Draw me to you, O my God. Fill me with pure love of You alone. Make me never go aside from the way of your love. Show me clearly that Way and never let me leave from it. That will be enough. I leave everything in Your hands. You will guide me without error and without danger and I will love you all the way. I belong to you. I will not be afraid of anything for I shall remain in your hands and never leave you.
This prayer is amazing and a reminder that as long as I am trusting God and His will, He is definitely going to lead me without error.
For now though, I am still searching for jobs, but taking advantage of this time to spend with the people I love most (including my niece who I babysit here and there), spend time with God, apply to grad school, and have a break from school and work. I mean, who knows when is the next time THAT will be?
