Prayer for a New Job
Bringing your work before St. Joseph
Starting a new job can bring both hope and nervous uncertainty, and Catholics have long turned to Saint Joseph, the carpenter who provided for the Holy Family through honest labor, in moments like this. This prayer asks him to accompany you as you step into new responsibilities and unfamiliar faces, much as one might turn to the Prayer for Guidance when a path ahead is unclear. Many pray it the night before a first day, or whenever a fresh season of work begins.

Pray it the evening before your first day, on the morning of an interview, or whenever you begin a new role, project, or season of work. It is also fitting whenever anxiety about providing for your family weighs on you.
Benefits of This Prayer
Praying to Saint Joseph regularly cultivates a spirit of humility and diligence in daily work, helping you see even ordinary tasks as offerings to God. Over time it can ease the anxiety that surrounds change, and steady you in trusting God's providence for your needs. It pairs naturally with the Prayer for Anxiety for those whose nerves run high before a big change.
