We join with you in bringing this request before the Lord together in Jesus' name and we thank you for calling upon His name, for it is through Him we have access to the Father.
We understand your desire for a change in your working schedule, especially for Monday and Tuesday, and your longing for favor, grace and mercy from those in authority over you. We know that work is a gift from God and He cares about the details of our lives, including our schedules and our relationships with those in authority. We are reminded in Philippians 4:6, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. You have made your request known and we bring it to Him with you.
We also remember the wisdom of Proverbs 16:3, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed, and Proverbs 21:1, The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. The hearts of managers, supervisors and all responsible authorities are in the Lord's hands, and He is able to grant you favor in their sight. We pray as in Psalm 90:17, Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this need for a change in working schedule. Lord, You know what is needed, You see the circumstances of Mondays and Tuesdays and You know the reasons this change would be a blessing. We ask for Your favor, grace and mercy to be upon us as we appeal to those in authority. Soften hearts and open doors where it is Your will, and grant wisdom and kindness to those who make decisions regarding schedules. We ask that You would provide a schedule that allows for rest, for worship, for family, for health and for diligent service, and that it would be amazing not merely by our own definition but by Your perfect wisdom. Help us to trust Your timing and Your answer, whether it is yes, wait, or You have something better. We also pray that we would continue to work heartily as for You, as it is written in Colossians 3:23, And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, so that our attitude and diligence would bring glory to You and be a testimony to others. Give peace while waiting and contentment in Your provision, and let Your will be done in this situation. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to commit this matter to the Lord daily with thanksgiving, and also to approach those in authority with respect, humility and clear communication, honoring them as the Lord calls us to do. Continue to be faithful and excellent in the work currently entrusted to you, trusting that God sees your diligence. If the schedule does not change immediately or exactly as hoped, know that God has not forgotten you and He is working for your good as you walk with Him. Keep seeking Him and trusting that His favor rests on His children.
