Changing careers or jobs at any time in your life is a critical decision. Often we make these decisions hastily without really conferring with God.  
 
 
 
Making sure that you are hearing from God about which career path to choose, when you should change careers or even IF you should change careers at all is crucial for moving forward.
 
 
For such a time as this, solitude before God would be beneficial and I would dare say mandatory – which is why I want to share with you 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting for Career Change.
 
 
 
Get the clarity you are seeking with this 40 Prayers for career change guide!

40 Days of Prayer and Fasting for Career Change

Fasting is a spiritual discipline that requires self-denial usually of food – however it can also be anything that you view as a hindrance or distraction from God. Before you embark on this fast, pray about and think about any distractions or habits in your life that is keeping you from hearing the Holy Spirit.
 
 

What ever God impresses upon you – be it food, social media, television, certain hobbies –  I would fast from that over the next 40 days. It doesn’t have to be complicated – and you may not be perfect at it but I believe that God honors our desire to put Him first when we fast.
 

After you’ve prayed and decided how you’re going to fast, you’ll want to spend some time in prayer and reflection. Below I have 40 prayers and scriptures to get you started but feel free to use your own and maybe even keep a prayer journal as you go through this process.
