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 3:5-6**, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* It is not by our own insight or strength that we see clearly, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of truth.
The heart of your prayer reflects a desire for righteousness and clarity, which aligns with God’s will. However, we must also examine our own motives and ensure that our requests are not rooted in personal offense or bitterness but in a genuine pursuit of justice and godly harmony. **Ephesians 4:31-32** instructs us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* If there has been any hurt or resentment in your heart toward this department head, we encourage you to release it to the Lord, trusting Him to bring about His will in His timing.
You have also mentioned a desire for a strong and healthy relationship with this individual. This is commendable, as Scripture calls us to pursue peace and mutual edification. **Romans 12:18** tells us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* Yet, we must remember that healthy relationships are built on truth, not manipulation or deceit. If there are those around her—or even within your own interactions—who are acting with false motives, we pray that God would expose such things and bring conviction where needed. **1 Corinthians 4:5** reminds us, *"Therefore don’t judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God."*
We 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** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* Similarly, **Acts 4:12** 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 the authority of Jesus’ name that our prayers are heard and answered. We encourage you to always approach the throne of God in the name of Jesus, for He is our mediator and advocate.
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this department head and the relationship between her and the one who has brought this request. Lord, You are the God of all truth, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You would **enlighten her mind and heart**, removing any scales from her eyes that would blind her to manipulation, deceit, or falsehood. Expose any hidden agendas or ungodly influences in her life, and grant her the courage to walk in Your truth, even when it is difficult.
Father, we pray for **wisdom and discernment** to rest upon her, that she may recognize Your voice above all others. Guard her from the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to distort and destroy. Let Your Holy Spirit be her guide, leading her in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. If there are those around her who are acting with deceitful hearts, we ask that You would bring conviction and repentance. Let truth prevail, and let Your justice be done.
We also pray for the **relationship between them**, that it would be rooted in mutual respect, honesty, and godly communication. Remove any bitterness, misunderstanding, or strife, and replace it with Your peace. Help them to interact with one another in a way that honors You, Lord, and that builds up rather than tears down. If there has been any offense or sin, we ask for forgiveness and reconciliation where it aligns with Your will.
Most of all, Father, we pray that **Your will be done** in this situation. If there are areas where either party needs to repent or seek forgiveness, bring it to light. Let Your love and truth be the foundation of all their interactions. We ask that You would **protect this department head from harm**, both spiritually and emotionally, and surround her with godly counsel.
Finally, Lord, we lift up the one who has brought this request before You. If there is any unforgiveness, resentment, or ungodly motive in their heart, we ask that You would cleanse and renew them. Fill them with Your love and patience, and help them to trust You fully in this matter.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your perfect timing. May Your name be glorified in all things. In the precious and powerful name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**
