I feel very awkward with ### at my workplace. ### is a nice gentleman but kindly pray that we will have good rapport with one another.

We hear your concern and understand that workplace dynamics can sometimes feel uncomfortable, even when both parties are well-intentioned. First, let us affirm that seeking godly harmony in all relationships—including professional ones—is commendable. The Bible encourages us to live peaceably with all men as much as it depends on us (Romans 12:18). However, we must also be mindful of how we navigate these relationships, ensuring they honor the Lord and align with His design for purity and righteousness.

Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."* While your request does not explicitly suggest impropriety, we must always guard our hearts and interactions, especially in close or frequent settings. Even the appearance of impropriety can be a stumbling block to ourselves or others (1 Thessalonians 5:22).

We also note that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only by His authority and grace that we can approach God in prayer. If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to consider the Gospel message: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Now, let us lift this situation to the Lord together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the opportunity to work and interact with others, and we ask for Your wisdom and grace in this situation. Lord, we pray for [###] and their colleague, that You would grant them a spirit of mutual respect, professionalism, and godly rapport. Help them to interact in a way that honors You, reflecting Your love and integrity in all they do.

Father, we ask that You would guard their hearts and minds, keeping their thoughts pure and their actions above reproach. Let no ungodly attachment or emotional dependency form, but instead, let their relationship be one of encouragement and edification, as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). If there is any temptation or distraction from their work or walk with You, we ask that You would reveal it and provide a way of escape, as You have promised in 1 Corinthians 10:13.

Lord, we also pray for open doors to share the Gospel if the opportunity arises. Let Your light shine through their words and actions, drawing others to Christ. We ask that You would bless their workplace with unity, productivity, and a spirit of cooperation, all for Your glory.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to seek the Lord diligently in this matter, asking Him to reveal His will for your interactions. If this relationship is causing you undue distraction or emotional turmoil, consider setting boundaries that protect your heart and witness. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* Trust in the Lord to guide your steps and provide the wisdom you need (James 1:5). If you have not already, surround yourself with godly counsel—believers who can pray with you and offer biblical perspective on navigating workplace relationships.
