Summary
- Twelve short prayers grouped by when they are needed: before applying, the morning of, the corridor, and the wait afterwards.
- Before applying: clarity about whether to go for it, the discipline to prepare properly rather than pray instead of preparing, and a loose grip on the outcome.
- The morning and the corridor: prayers for nerves, for the people interviewing, for honesty about what you can and cannot do, and for clear words rather than clever ones.
- Afterwards: not replaying it for six hours, doing something with the waiting days, and praying for either answer.
- Prayer does not make an offer more likely, and Scripture never promises it will. It changes who walks into the room. Paul asked three times and was told no (2 Corinthians 12:8-9).
