I am a college graduate and I have been unemployed for about a month but I was unemployed for about a year before i found an internship in 2012 with housing but even that was not full employment. I have applied to several jobs and have had interviews but have not landed a job yet. Should I apply to every job in my vacinity even if it doesn't require my degree?

I have no idea what Lee meant when he said "we should do our duty but not do it out of anxiety".... I am sure there was more to the statement. But we should not rest our faith in what he said or what man says rather we put our Faith in God's Living Word.
For starters... Take hold of Psalm 34:1,2 6 and verse 7.
I will bless the Lord at all times. [remove the word "will" as that implies the future, something you are not doing right now. So pull the future into the present]:
I bless You O LORD ALMIGHTY GOD at ALL times. I may be struggling and frustrated even anxious that I have no job, but I continuously Praise Your Glorious Name for You are Good. My soul boasts in You for I am IN You and You are in me.
According to Your Word in Deuteronomy 29:11, Your Thoughts and plans for me is to succeed, to prosper, plans for my well being to have Peace, to give me Hope and a bright Future.
Abba Father, with a grateful heart, reveal to me through Your Spirit in me what those Plans are. Lead me to the job, to the place You want me to be in so that Your name will be Glorified. Thank You for those plans You have for me to prosper in my line of work and in Your Kingdom.
Many are the afflictions of the Righteous but You Lord (Jesus) delivers him out of all his troubles. I may be afflicted but because I am in Christ Jesus, I AM Righteous. And You are my Deliverer and Provider. Thank You for delivering me out of all my troubles. I may not -feel- delivered but by FAITH IN YOU, I AM! To You be all Glory and Praise.
Thank You for being my Fortress, my Hightower, my Strength,my Deliverer and Provider. You are my Shepherd. I shall not lack because You say I will not lack. As You lead me to green pastures I trust only IN You to lead me to the right employer.
Your Word in Philippians 4:6-7 says not to be anxious. So by Faith, by the power of Your Spirit working in me, I will not be anxious. I have made my prayer and supplication WITH THANKSGIVING be made known unto You. My request is in Your Hands. I thank You for receiving my request. Praise You Father God. Praise You Lord Jesus. All Honor and Glory to You Holy Spirit.

Lord Jesus, You tell us where 2 or more are gathered in Your Holy Name, You are in our midst. So we are standing with our sibling in Christ to provide him with a most excellent job to Your Praise and Glory.
Bless aburg25 NOW by revealing and leading him to the place he will prosper and succeed. Bless him as well as all Your children Father as You blessed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Ruth, David and Solomon. Sprinkle the Precious Blood of Yeshua on us all and on our finances so that no weapon formed against aburg25 or us will succeed in pulling and weighing us down.
Thank You Abba Father for blessing aburg25 and all Your saints IN Christ Jesus. Amen.
