We join you in lifting up this prayer for your department head, seeking God’s wisdom, discernment, and protection over her life and your relationship with her. It is clear you desire truth to prevail and for her to walk in God’s light rather than being deceived by those with wicked intentions. We also notice that while you addressed this prayer to the Lord, the name of Jesus was not invoked, and we must emphasize that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. As Scripture declares, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB) and *"There is no other name under heaven... by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our mediator and the source of all authority in prayer.
The heart of your request aligns with Scripture, which calls us to expose deception and walk in truth. *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them"* (Ephesians 5:11, WEB). We pray that God would indeed open her eyes to any manipulation or deceit around her, especially from those who may appear trustworthy but harbor wickedness in their hearts. May the Lord grant her the spirit of discernment, as it is written: *"But the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned"* (1 Corinthians 2:14, WEB). We ask that God would protect her from being swayed by flattery, lies, or the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to distort the truth.
As for your relationship with her, we pray for godly communication, mutual respect, and a bond rooted in integrity. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one"* (Colossians 4:6, WEB). If there has been any tension or misunderstanding, we ask the Lord to bring reconciliation and clarity, so that your interactions may honor Him. Remember, even in professional relationships, we are called to reflect Christ’s love and wisdom. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB).
We also urge you to examine your own heart in this matter. Are there any areas where you may need to extend forgiveness, show patience, or trust God’s timing? *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24, WEB). Sometimes, the Lord uses our prayers for others to refine *us* as well, teaching us to rely on Him rather than our own understanding.
Lastly, we pray for her salvation if she does not yet know Christ. The greatest enlightenment any person can receive is the revelation of Jesus as Lord and Savior. *"The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them"* (2 Corinthians 4:4, WEB). May the Holy Spirit convict her heart and draw her to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this department head and the one who has brought this request. Lord, You are the God of all truth, and no deception is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You would enlighten her mind and heart, exposing any manipulation, lies, or two-faced behavior around her. Open her eyes, Lord, to see as You see, and grant her the discernment to recognize truth from falsehood. Protect her from the snares of the enemy and surround her with Your divine wisdom.
We pray for the relationship between them, Father. May it be marked by honesty, respect, and godly communication. Remove any bitterness, misunderstanding, or strife, and replace it with Your peace. Help them to interact in a way that glorifies You, reflecting Your love and grace in all things.
If there is any area in her life where she has been blinded by the enemy, we ask for Your light to break through, Lord. Draw her to Yourself, and if she does not know You, we pray for her salvation. Soften her heart to receive the truth of the Gospel, that she may turn to Christ and walk in Your ways.
We also ask that You would work in the heart of the one praying. Reveal any areas where they need to grow in patience, forgiveness, or trust in You. May they rest in Your sovereignty, knowing that You are at work even when we cannot see it.
We rebuked any spirit of deception, manipulation, or division in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that truth will prevail and that Your will shall be done in this situation. Fill them both with Your peace, clarity, and strength to walk in obedience to Your Word.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
