You've got the right idea here 
Keep trying. Never stop. I am well far from being anywhere near Gurmukh, but if we keep learning and trying and yearning, Gur Prsaad we'll get there.
The difference in asking for a job and asking for Naam is that the job will come when it comes. You put in the effort to the best of your ability and cultivate contentment while you wait for something to come up, and accept the hukam that the world works the way it works and when a job comes, be happy; but meanwhile, through it all, focus lovingly on Naam and beg for that Kirpaa to get the drop of rain that will satisfy you forever. The world is the world, it does what it does. Naam is the reality behind it all, and it is in Naam that is all contentment, protection, acceptance, detachment, peace, etc.
Hey! That's my line!
Fair point. Just as a sidenote, I tend to view the Sikh experience as a more passive spiritual experience. That is, rather than It literally arranging things so that food appears on your plate, it is rather the individual who's perspective changes so that everything you eat, every breath you take, every breeze that kisses your cheek is indeed a gift from It. Not because It is bending reality for you, but rather you are seeing reality for what it is.
Does this make sense to you?
I have only been asking to try to point out how awkward it might be for you on one hand calling most of the forum users atheists and skeptics, but then being less than willing to actually name names.
