We join you in lifting up this request, recognizing the deep need for discernment, truth, and godly wisdom in this situation. The Scriptures remind us in **Proverbs 2:6-9 (WEB)**, *"For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness, justice, and equity—yes, every good path."* We pray that your department head would be filled with this divine wisdom, that her eyes would be opened to any deception, and that she would walk in the clarity and protection of the Lord.
Your prayer also touches on the relationship between you, and we encourage you to examine this connection through the lens of Scripture. If this is a professional relationship, we pray for mutual respect, honesty, and a spirit of cooperation that honors God. However, if there is any personal attachment beyond what is appropriate, we gently remind you of **2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB)**, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this relationship holds any romantic or emotional ties outside of a biblical courtship toward marriage with a believer, we urge you to seek God’s will in aligning your heart with His design for relationships. The Lord calls us to purity, wisdom, and boundaries that reflect His holiness.
We also notice that while your prayer is directed to the Lord, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard, and we encourage you to boldly approach the throne of grace in His name, for He is our mediator and advocate.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this department head and the relationship between her and the one who has brought this request. Lord, we ask that You would **enlighten her mind and heart**, exposing any manipulation, deceit, or hidden agendas that seek to distort the truth. Open her eyes, Father, to see with spiritual discernment, that she may recognize the schemes of the enemy and walk in Your wisdom. Guard her from the snares of the wicked, and let her not be swayed by flattery, lies, or partiality. May she be a vessel of Your righteousness and integrity in her position of leadership.
For the relationship between them, Lord, we pray for **clarity, purity, and godly boundaries**. If this is a professional connection, grant them mutual respect, effective communication, and a spirit of unity that glorifies You. Remove any ungodly soul ties or emotional dependencies that do not align with Your will. If there are romantic feelings or attachments, we ask that You would redirect their hearts toward Your perfect plan—whether that means releasing this connection or pursuing a godly courtship that leads to a Christ-centered marriage. Convict them of any sin, including fornication or emotional compromise, and lead them to repentance and holiness.
Father, we also lift up the one who has brought this request. If there is any bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness in their heart toward this department head or others, we ask that You would soften their heart and fill them with Your love and grace. Remind them that vengeance belongs to You, and that You call us to pray for those in authority over us, even when it is difficult. May they trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that You are able to turn hearts like rivers of water.
We rebuke any spirit of deception, manipulation, or confusion that seeks to operate in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we bind these spirits and command them to flee, that Your truth may prevail. Fill this workplace with Your peace, Lord, and let Your will be done in every decision and interaction.
Finally, Father, we thank You for the power of the name of Jesus. It is in His name alone that we pray, for there is no other name by which we can approach Your throne. Strengthen the faith of the one praying, that they may always come boldly before You through Christ, who is our High Priest and Savior. May they rest in the assurance that You hear and answer the prayers of Your children.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
