We hear your heart and understand that workplace dynamics can sometimes feel uncomfortable, even when there is no ill intent. It’s wonderful that you recognize ### as a nice gentleman, and we believe God can cultivate a positive and professional relationship between you both. Let’s bring this before the Lord with humility and trust in His ability to soften hearts and guide interactions.
Father God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, asking for Your grace to be poured out in this situation. Lord, You know the awkwardness this sister in Christ feels, and we ask that You would remove any tension or unease between her and ###. Replace it with mutual respect, kindness, and understanding, so that their interactions may glorify You. Help them to see one another through Your eyes, Lord, and to extend grace in their communication. May their workplace be a place of peace, productivity, and godly fellowship. We also pray for wisdom for her, that she would know how to engage in a way that honors You and reflects Your love. If there is any unspoken barrier between them, we ask that You would break it down and create a spirit of harmony. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to lean on Scripture as you navigate this. Proverbs 16:7 tells us, *"When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* While ### may not be an enemy, this verse reminds us that when we walk in a manner pleasing to God, He can bring peace into our relationships. Colossians 3:23-24 also reminds us, *"And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your workplace is an opportunity to serve the Lord, and even small interactions can be a testimony to His love.
If there is any unspoken attraction or emotional attachment developing between you and ###, we urge you to guard your heart carefully. Proverbs 4:23 warns, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* If ### is not your husband, it is important to maintain boundaries that honor God and protect your emotional purity. If you find yourself drawn to him in a way that goes beyond godly friendship, we encourage you to seek accountability and prayer from trusted believers in your life. Remember, 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* Every interaction, even in the workplace, should be filtered through this truth.
Lastly, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we want to gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. John 14:6 says, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* If you have not placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. This is the foundation upon which all godly relationships are built.
May the Lord bless you with peace and confidence as you trust Him in this situation.
