I have gone from complete non believing evil person; to a somewhat new dedicated Christian. The past 2-4 years of my life I've been thinking about God and trying to get closer to him. I have been praying for opportunities to do his work, for faith, for strength, for wisdom. Most recently I've been praying for a job I haven't had a job since december. On valentines day my fiance brought me to a christian book store to buy me a st. Michaels pendant, and they were hiring. I have an interview today at 3. There is no way this is coincidince, things like this have happened to me before but never like this. It shows me God is truly listening to my prayers, and this last answer I hope has made my faith completely unbreakable.My request is for someone to pray that I will never again falter or fail in my faith with God; that from this day on I will be completely dedicated to God. I ask that you pray that I will be guided by his holy light and righteousness. I ask that you pray that I can get this job and it will bring me closer to God. I want to completely give my life to our Lord, I want to do his will, I want to minister and witness to anyone who will listen. I want to save as many people as I can because I know that it's possible for anyone to be saved. Please pray for me. Thank you and god bless you all

The last God should be capitalized!
Also it is spelled coincidence
1 Kings 8:46 "When they sin against you--for there is no one who does not sin--and you become angry with them and give them over to the enemy, who takes them captive to his own land, far away or near;"
1 Kings 8:47 "and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their conquerors and say, 'We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly';"
1 Kings 8:48 "and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray to you toward the land you gave their fathers, toward the city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name;"
1 Kings 8:49 "then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause."
The problem is there is not one.
Romans 3:10 "As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;"
What you are asking for is is basically impossible.
Adam sinned, Moses sinned, David sinned, Saul sinned
To be honest Job perhaps did not sin but he ended up cursing his birth
Job 3:1 "After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth."
The whole family was dysfunctional from the beginning.
They eat the from the tree, they hide from God and sew fig leaves, one son gets jealous and kills the other, pretty soon God has to flood the whole world.
He likes Noah so he lets him live, then he likes Abraham, then his descendants become slaves, God sets them free, they are not fully loyal to him, alot of problems arise, they go back and fourth from listening to sinning all the way up until Jesus Christ.
At that point they say Matthew 27:25 "All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
So what happens after that? Holocaust and it is tragic and the man who was preaching the beginning Christianity used to be a notorious Christian hunter.
Listen please, if you could stop sinning 100% then you would not even need Jesus but since all have fallen short we need him to pay for our sins.
Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Start by renewing your mind with the word of God, but do not burn yourself out, or else you will just burn yourself out and sin.
Ecclesiastes 12:12 "Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body."
Also remember God did not put us on the earth to make us miserable but by no means God's grace is not a license to sin.
Lamentations 3:39 "Why should any living man complain when punished for his sins?"
Because God does punish sins yet he also has great love.
Hebrews 12:6 "because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."
Congrats and blessings on your new job
