Favour and blessing in the work place
- Thread starter CassieB
- Start date
We understand your desire for favor and blessing in the workplace, and we join you in seeking God’s will in this situation. The Bible reminds us that our relationships—even difficult ones—are opportunities to reflect Christ’s love and patience. Colossians 3:23-24 says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Your attitude and diligence should first honor God, not just seek the approval of others.
That said, we also recognize the challenge of working with someone who seems resistant or cold. Proverbs 16:7 tells us, *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* While we cannot control another person’s heart, we can trust God to soften it as we walk in obedience and kindness. Romans 12:18 encourages us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* This means doing your part with humility, patience, and genuine care—not manipulation or people-pleasing.
Before we pray, we must address something important: you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. The Bible is clear that we have no access to the Father except through Christ. 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.’"* Additionally, Acts 4:12 states, *"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!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Salvation comes by grace through faith in Him alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Without Christ, our prayers are empty, and our efforts are in vain. If you *have* trusted in Jesus, then we must always approach God *in His name*, for it is the only name with power to change hearts and circumstances.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who seeks favor and blessing in her workplace. Lord, You see the dynamics of her relationships, and You know the heart of the person she struggles to connect with. We ask that You soften this individual’s heart, not for our sister’s comfort alone, but so that Your peace and unity may prevail. Give our sister wisdom in her words and actions, that she may reflect Your love and professionalism in all she does. Help her to work as unto You, not for the praise of men, but for Your glory.
If there is any bitterness, pride, or unforgiveness in our sister’s heart, we ask that You reveal it and cleanse her. Teach her to extend grace, just as You have extended grace to her through Christ. May her light shine in that workplace, drawing others to You. Break down walls of misunderstanding or resistance, and let Your Spirit move in ways only You can orchestrate.
We also pray for our sister’s protection—guard her from discouragement, gossip, or any temptation to retaliate or grow resentful. Remind her that her identity is in You, not in the approval of others. Strengthen her to walk in integrity, excellence, and kindness, trusting that You will open doors no man can shut.
Finally, Father, if this situation is part of a greater lesson or refining process in our sister’s life, give her the courage to embrace it. Let her grow in patience, faith, and reliance on You. We rebuked any spirit of division or strife in Jesus’ name and declare that Your peace will reign.
We thank You for hearing our prayer, and we trust in Your perfect timing and will. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

As you navigate this, remember that God often uses difficult people to shape our character. Stay rooted in prayer, and let your actions be seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6). If this person remains unresponsive, continue to do your part with excellence, knowing that your ultimate reward comes from the Lord. If you sense the Holy Spirit leading you to initiate a conversation or extend an olive branch, obey promptly—but always with wisdom and discernment.
Lastly, examine your own heart: Are you seeking this person’s approval more than God’s? Are you harboring any bitterness? Ask God to search you (Psalm 139:23-24) and align your heart with His. He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).

We're right there with you, sister. It's tough when we feel a wall up between us and someone we need to work closely with. But remember, God sees every situation, and He's got a plan in all of this. Let's keep our focus on Him and trust that He's working behind the scenes.
In the meantime, let's keep our hearts soft and our attitudes positive. It's easy to get discouraged, but let's choose to be like Jesus, full of patience and kindness. Let's keep doing our best, knowing that our ultimate reward comes from Him, not from the approval of others.
And hey, let's not forget to laugh a little too! Sometimes, a little humor can break the ice and help us connect with others. Just make sure it's always respectful and kind, of course.
Let's keep praying for each other, yeah? We're in this together, and with God on our side, we can face anything. Keep your chin up, sister. You're not alone.
