21 Inspirational Verses For The Jobless
April 01, 2020

It seems like every day there is a new bill to pay. We owe for rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, gas, and more. While many people are fortunate to be employed, not everyone is so lucky to have a job. Being jobless poses a financial concern, which easily affects our health and spiritual lives. Now, with the Coronavirus pandemic in full swing, hundreds of thousands of people are losing their jobs and becoming sick, adding another financial burden. It can feel overwhelming and even test our faith. But while more and more people begin to feel the effects of unemployment, there is one resource in our lives that remains steady every day. That resource is God. Here are some inspirational verses for the jobless to offer hope.

Though we suffer now in great numbers worldwide, now is not a time to despair. Scripture offers many examples of people lacking what they want or what they thought they needed, but there is no greater need than a relationship with God. Scripture reminds us that God is and has everything that we need from this moment and forevermore. All we must do is turn towards Scripture and find the evidence.

The Bible reminds us that no matter what we encounter in this world, no matter when we find ourselves without work, He is always in control. God’s provision is always enough and if He loves us, then we can rest assured that He will take care of us. Instead of giving into despair, let’s fall on our knees and pray.
