Prayer to Mother Mary for Guidance in Career Decisions

O Blessed Mother Mary,

You who were chosen by God for the greatest of callings, I come before you today, seeking your intercession and guidance as I face important decisions in my career. As I stand at the crossroads of choices, unsure of which direction to take, I turn to you, my heavenly Mother, to help me discern the path that aligns with God’s will for my life.

Holy Mother, you who answered the call of God with perfect faith and courage, I ask for your guidance as I navigate the complexities of my career. Like you, I desire to follow God’s will in all that I do, but at times the way forward seems uncertain. Please help me to make decisions that are not driven by fear or worldly ambition, but by a genuine desire to serve others, honor God, and use the gifts He has given me.

In my heart, I long for clarity, peace, and a sense of purpose in my work. I ask that you take these desires and present them to your Son, Jesus, who knows the deepest longings of my soul. Ask Him to illuminate the path before me, so I may see clearly the next steps I need to take. Grant me the grace to listen to His voice, especially when distractions or worries cloud my judgment.

Mother Mary, I ask for your wisdom as I weigh my options. I am faced with choices that have the potential to shape my future, and I do not want to make these decisions lightly. Help me to discern not only what will bring me success or material gain, but also what will bring me closer to God and contribute to the well-being of others. Let me find fulfillment not in the fleeting rewards of this world, but in knowing that I am doing work that reflects the values of love, service, and humility.

Please, dear Mother, give me the courage to step out in faith, even when the way forward feels daunting. Just as you trusted God’s plan when you said "yes" to being the mother of Jesus, help me to trust that God has a plan for my career, even if it is not yet clear to me. Give me the strength to let go of any anxiety or fear that holds me back from pursuing what is right. Remind me that with God’s guidance, I will never be led astray.

Help me to be patient, Holy Mother, as I await the clarity I seek. In moments of uncertainty, when the answers do not come as quickly as I hope, grant me the grace to remain steadfast in prayer and trust. I know that God’s timing is perfect, even if I cannot always see it. Teach me to be still in His presence and open to His guidance, just as you pondered all things in your heart with quiet trust.

As I move forward in my career, I ask that you watch over me and protect me. Keep me humble and remind me that every opportunity I am given is a gift from God. Help me to use my talents, skills, and knowledge not for personal gain or recognition, but to bring glory to God and to serve others. May I always remember that true success is measured not by wealth or status, but by how well I live out the call to love and serve my neighbor.

Dear Mother, please intercede for me, especially when I feel overwhelmed or discouraged by the challenges I face in my career. Help me to remain hopeful and confident in God’s plan, knowing that He has placed me in this position for a reason. Let me draw strength from your example of unwavering faith and trust in God’s goodness.

As I offer this prayer, I entrust my career to your loving care, knowing that you will guide me with a mother’s tenderness and wisdom. Lead me ever closer to your Son, Jesus, who is the ultimate source of all guidance and peace. Help me to follow His example in my work, living with integrity, kindness, and compassion in all that I do.

Thank you, Blessed Mother, for your constant intercession and for always leading me closer to God’s will. I place my future in your hands and ask that you continue to guide me every step of the way.

Amen.
