God, our Father,
I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment.
 I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment.
Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance.
Grant this through Christ, our Lord. 
Amen

Heavenly Father,
You have mercifully allowed human beings to have
periods of rest and recuperation
on our long journey through life.
This is my extended period of rest this year---
my vacation from the usual cares of everyday life
and my time to be renewed---
physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Grant that this vacation will bring me
a new awareness of the good things in life,
increased knowledge of your wondrously versatile creativity,
delightful travel through fascinating places,
and genuine leisure facilitating revitalization.
Let me be ever mindful of You
and my true goals in life.
And bring me back to carry out my daily tasks
with cheerfulness and goodwill,
and to the best of my strength and ability.
Amen.
