We join with you in lifting up this request, recognizing the deep need for divine wisdom and discernment in this situation. It is good that you seek the Lord’s intervention, for He alone can expose deception and bring truth to light. As Scripture reminds us, *"The Lord’s lamp searches the spirit, all his inmost parts"* (Proverbs 20:27, WEB). We pray that God would indeed enlighten your department head, revealing any hidden motives or deceitful influences so that she may walk in truth and clarity.
We also note your prayer for *"our relationship"*—though we do not know the nature of this connection, we must emphasize that all relationships must be rooted in godly principles. If this is a professional relationship, we pray for integrity, mutual respect, and wisdom in communication. If, however, this is a personal relationship outside of marriage, we urge you to consider whether it aligns with biblical standards. Scripture is clear that believers should pursue relationships with the intent of godly marriage, avoiding any emotional or physical entanglements that dishonor God (1 Corinthians 7:2, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If there is any ambiguity in this area, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s will for purity and righteousness in all interactions.
We also observe that while your prayer is earnest, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ—yet it is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). True prayer is made in faith, through Christ, who is our mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). Without Him, our petitions lack the authority and power of heaven. We encourage you to always pray in Jesus’ name, for He is the way, the truth, and the life.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this department head and the concerns of Your child. Lord, You are the God of all truth, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You would open her eyes to any manipulation, deceit, or falsehood that may be at work. Expose what is hidden, Lord, and grant her discernment to recognize truth from lies. Protect her from being swayed by ungodly influences, and fill her with Your wisdom and peace.
For the relationship mentioned, we pray for godly boundaries and purity. If this is a professional connection, may it be marked by honesty, respect, and clarity. If it is personal, we ask that You would guide it according to Your will—always pointing toward what is holy and pleasing to You. Convict any hearts that may be straying from Your design for relationships, and lead all involved into righteousness.
Father, we also ask that You would deepen this believer’s understanding of prayer in Jesus’ name. May they always approach Your throne with confidence, knowing that Christ is the only way to You. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that salvation and answered prayer come through Him alone.
We rebuke any schemes of the enemy to bring confusion, division, or ungodly attachments. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we declare that truth will prevail, and Your will shall be done. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
