Finding an honest and dignified job is one of the greatest goals in anyone's life. Many hope to develop that activity that makes them happy and through which they can guarantee the financial stability of their family.
That is why there are many who pray daily and ask for the help of the deities to support them and give them the necessary strength to continue their search for a good job.
Throughout the years, religions have dedicated a prominent place to prayers and rituals for work and prosperity. At all times, the gods are asked for an improvement in the family economy and a stable job.
And is that unemployment can lead us to lose sight of the prosperity of our home and ends up taking away the hope of a better future.
Seeking employment and faith between prayers to the Yoruba deities
The Yoruba religion particularly dedicates a special place to rituals and prayers to the Orishas to find a decent job with which to support ourselves and live comfortably with our family.
He is the Patron of the Blacksmiths, Oggún, the deity to whom prayers are raised the most and rituals are dedicated to him in order to ask for his support to find a job and with him, achieve prosperity. However, many are the Orishas who respond to our requests for stability.
Here we propose some powerful prayers to the Yoruba deities to find an honest job.
Prayers to the Owner of Iron and forced labor, Oggún
Oggún, patron of blacksmiths and owner of the metals, he is a leading Orisha and belongs to the trilogy of the warriors of the Yoruba region.
He is an insatiable hardworking warrior, bearing the weight of the world we live in on his shoulders. He works in the forge all hours of the day, as several Patakíes indicate that he promised this to the Father of the Orishas, Obbatalá.
For these qualities, it is recommended to pray the powerful Oggún prayer to find decent work quickly.
Oggún is a protector of his children and devotees and can help us find the right path and make positive decisions that bring stability to his life. He can free us from all obstacles as well as problems that may arise along the way.
However, we must show him that we are worthy of his blessings by working hard and achieving good results.
To pray to Oggún we must remember that the Orisha likes to be blown into brandy or rum and tobacco smoke. Honey is also poured over it, and roasted corn, smoked jutía and smoked fish are sprinkled over it as a way of serving it. It is very important to offer to Oggún and always thank him for listening to us.
To perform the prayers to the orisha for job prosperity, we must find a quiet place and light a white candle to the warrior.
Then we talk to him about our regrets and desires, and we raise prayers to ask for his favor, always with great confidence and faith that he will listen to us and guide us towards better paths.

We ask Elegguá to intercede for a better future job
A Elegguá, the Orisha who opens the roads, messenger of the Rule of the Ocha, we also pray to him for a better future job. We ask the Orisha to open for us the astral of fortune and prosperity and to give us the luck of reaching a good working position that guarantees us economic stability.
And it is that Elegguá opens and closes the doors to those who deserve it or who need it, so it can help us with the problems of getting a job or getting a promotion.
In addition, Elegguá is a warrior and a leader who fights for what he wants, so he will support us looking for better job opportunities, or a more stable future in a better paid job, if we show him that we really fight and strive to be better .
Let us remember that to pray to Elegguá for economic improvements, we can offer him his favorite fruits, such as green guava or pumpkin.
We also light candles for him and in a quiet and secluded place we talk to the Orisha about our problems, our efforts and our greatest wishes, with great faith that he will listen and respond to us.
Bear in mind in your requests that Eleguá is never asked for "work" but "employment".

Enlighten me and my family who always accompanies me and surrounds me,
in the same way, fill us with your gifts of protection.
Likewise, it opens all those doors that our life needs, to be and reach all things
what do we need.
I invoke you Elegguá, with one and only objective, that you help me overcome this facet of my life, which is hurting me so much
And help me to develop fully as a happy human being.
I ask you to bless me with a better job so that my prosperity is full
and as a result I can put bread on the table every day, until my life is no longer earthly.
I also ask you to fill me with your gifts and thus be able to undertake this new path that opens up to me today.
Little giant, listen to me, I implore you that my progress is successful and that I have a future of brightness, joy and bright colors,
Well, you are the master of the future and of good living, therefore, you are the one who chooses, sir, who deserves it and who does not.
And that on the path that awaits me is a prosperous future in which there are no insecurities or weaknesses.
Make me have everything I need for this uncertain future,
At the same time, I promise that I will always be by your side, because you accompany me in this uncertain future.
Amen.

In Yemayá, devotees seek wisdom, strength and wealth and for this reason many people send her a request for financial help.
