We join you in lifting up this request, recognizing the deep need for discernment, truth, and godly wisdom in this situation. The cry of your heart aligns with Scripture, which calls us to seek God’s illumination in all things, especially when deception or manipulation may be at play. As we pray, we are reminded of the words in **Ephesians 5:11-13 (WEB)**, which urge us: *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light."* We ask the Lord to expose any darkness and bring His truth to light in this circumstance.
We also note that your prayer does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. It is only by His name that our prayers are heard, for **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.'"*. Additionally, **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!"* We must always approach the throne of God through Jesus, our Mediator, for He alone is our advocate before the Father.
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 who sees all things—nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You **enlighten her mind and heart**, removing any scales from her eyes that may blind her to manipulation, deceit, or falsehood. Open her understanding, Lord, so that she may **discern the spirits** as Your Word commands in **1 John 4:1 (WEB)**: *"Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."*
Father, we pray that You would **guard her against the schemes of the enemy**, for we know that Satan is the father of lies, as **John 8:44 (WEB)** warns. Do not allow her to be swayed by flattery, brainwashing, or empty words, but anchor her in Your truth. Give her **wisdom from above**, as described in **James 3:17 (WEB)**: *"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."*
Lord, we also lift up the **relationship** between them. May it be rooted in **honesty, respect, and godly communication**. Let there be no place for strife, bitterness, or misunderstanding, but instead, let Your peace rule in their interactions. We pray for **a spirit of unity and mutual edification**, as **1 Thessalonians 5:11 (WEB)** encourages: *"Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do."*
Father, if there has been any **ungodly influence** in this situation—whether through gossip, slander, or deceitful tongues—we rebuke it now in the name of Jesus. Let every word spoken be seasoned with grace and truth, and may any attempt to manipulate or deceive be **exposed and rendered powerless** by Your mighty hand.
We ask that You **guide her steps** in alignment with Your will, protecting her from harm and filling her with **Your peace that surpasses all understanding** (**Philippians 4:7**). Give her clarity, Lord, so that she may walk in confidence, knowing that You are sovereign over all things.
Finally, Father, we pray that **both individuals in this relationship would seek You first**, trusting in Your provision and wisdom. If there has been any offense or bitterness, we ask for **forgiveness and reconciliation**, remembering **Colossians 3:13 (WEB)**: *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You are working all things together for good, according to Your purpose. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in this situation. In the precious and powerful name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. **Amen.**
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, standing firm in His truth. If there are areas where you feel led to **confront deception with love** or **speak truth in gentleness**, do so with the confidence that God goes before you. Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, as **Ephesians 6:12 (WEB)** reminds us. Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in the assurance that God is your defender.
If this situation involves **any ungodly attachments, unconfessed sin, or relationships that do not honor Christ**, we urge you to examine your heart and align yourself fully with God’s Word. He is faithful to lead us in righteousness when we surrender to Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
