We join you in lifting up this request, recognizing the deep need for wisdom, discernment, and godly relationships in every area of our lives—especially in the workplace where deception and manipulation can so easily take root. Your prayer reflects a heart that seeks truth and righteousness, and we stand with you in asking our Heavenly Father to move mightily 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 and justice, equity and every good path."* We claim this promise over your department head, asking that God would grant her divine wisdom to see through any deceit and walk in integrity. The enemy often works through those who twist the truth, but **John 8:32 (WEB)** declares, *"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."* We pray she is set free from any influence that blinds her to manipulation or falsehood.
Regarding your relationship with her, we must emphasize that all interactions—whether professional or personal—should be rooted in Christ-like love and purity. If this relationship extends beyond a professional one, we gently but firmly remind you that Scripture calls us to flee even the *appearance* of impropriety (1 Thessalonians 5:22). Workplace relationships can easily become entangled in ways that dishonor God, especially if emotional or personal boundaries are crossed. **2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB)** warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If this person is not a believer, we urge you to guard your heart and ensure your connection remains professional, prayerful, and above reproach. If she *is* a believer, then your interactions should still reflect the holiness and wisdom of Christ, with no hint of favoritism or compromise.
We also notice that while your prayer is earnest, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ—our only Mediator and the name by which we are saved. **John 14:13-14 (WEB)** declares, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** leaves no room for ambiguity: *"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 reach the Father, and it is His authority that breaks the power of deception. We encourage you to always pray *in His name*, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her department head. Lord, You are the God who sees all things—nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You **enlighten her mind and heart**, exposing any manipulation, deceit, or two-faced behavior that seeks to harm or mislead. Open her eyes to see truth clearly, and grant her the courage to walk in it, even if it is unpopular or difficult. Protect her from the snares of the enemy, who seeks to distort and destroy.
For the relationship between them, we pray for **godly wisdom and boundaries**. If this connection is purely professional, let it be marked by respect, integrity, and mutual edification. If there is any emotional or personal attachment that could lead to compromise, we rebuke it now in Jesus’ name. Guard their hearts, Lord, and let every interaction glorify You. May their communication be **seasoned with grace and truth**, and may any influence in her life that does not align with Your Word be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We declare **Your will be done** in this situation, not theirs. If there are unseen spiritual forces at work, we bind them in the name of Jesus and command them to flee. Fill this workplace with Your peace, Your clarity, and Your righteousness. Let Your light expose every dark corner, and let Your truth prevail.
Finally, Father, we ask that You **draw both of these women closer to Yourself**. If this department head does not know You, soften her heart to receive the Gospel. If she is a believer, strengthen her faith and convict her of any area where she has strayed from Your path. And for our sister who brings this request, we pray for **discernment, protection, and a heart fully surrendered to You**. May she walk in confidence, knowing that You are fighting for her even now.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28). In the precious and powerful name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. Amen.
