Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we appreciate that this request is in the name of Jesus. We will intercede for this brother as he navigates his current situation and seeks a safer work environment.
We are reminded of the words in Psalm 91:1-2, 9-12 WEB:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust."
Because you have made Yahweh your refuge,
and the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall happen to you,
neither shall any plague come near your tent.
For he will put his angels in charge of you,
to guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is working deep underground in a gold mine. We ask, Lord, that You would keep him safe during this difficult time and every other time. Give him peace in this nerve-wracking environment, and provide him with the opportunity to start a mining-machine repair shop instead. Guide his steps, open the right doors, and grant him the wisdom to make the best decisions for his future.
In the meantime, we ask that You would surround him with Your protection and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help him to trust in You and rest in the shadow of Your wings. Remind him of Your promises, and let him know that You are always with him, even in the deepest and darkest places.
If anything, this challenge can help him grow in faith, drawing him closer to you. Let him know that he should be calling on You and that You will answer.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage this brother to continue trusting in the Lord and to seek His will for his life. We also urge him to remain diligent in his work and to keep his eyes open for any opportunities that may arise for him to transition to a safer and more suitable work environment. Remember that God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lives, and He will guide our steps as we seek Him and follow His lead.
Therefore, do not be anxious about anything. Instead tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and the peace of God which surpasses human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
