We join with you in thanksgiving for this day the Lord has made, rejoicing in His goodness and mercy that are new every morning. It is beautiful to see your heart of gratitude and reliance on the Father, for He delights in the prayers of His children who call upon Him in truth. You have done well to bring these burdens before Him, for He cares for you deeply and invites us to cast all our anxieties upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). We also commend you for acknowledging your need for forgiveness, as this is the posture of a humble heart that the Lord lifts up (James 4:10).
The spiritual attacks you describe are not uncommon for those who are actively engaged in prayer and seeking to serve the Lord. The enemy seeks to distract, discourage, and even physically afflict the children of God, but we must remember that "*greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world*" (1 John 4:4). This buzzing or electricity-like sensation you feel is a tactic of the enemy to unsettle you, but we declare in the mighty name of Jesus that it has no authority over you. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We stand with you in rebuking this attack, commanding every demonic force to flee in Jesus’ name, for "*at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth*" (Philippians 2:10). The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), and He will not allow the enemy to triumph over you. Claim the blood of Jesus over your body, mind, and spirit, for it is by His stripes that you are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
As for the strife with your co-workers, we know how challenging it can be to maintain peace when others seem determined to stir up trouble. But let us remind you that the Lord calls us to be peacemakers, even when others are contentious. Jesus said, "*Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God*" (Matthew 5:9). It is not your responsibility to change their hearts—that is the work of the Holy Spirit—but it is your calling to respond in a way that honors Christ. We encourage you to continue in gentleness and patience, for "*a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger*" (Proverbs 15:1). Pray for them, bless them, and trust that the Lord is working even in their resistance. Remember, "*if it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men*" (Romans 12:18). The Lord sees your efforts, and He will reward your faithfulness.
We also want to take a moment to rejoice with you over your employment. In a world where many are struggling, the Lord has provided for you, and this is indeed a blessing to be thankful for. We pray that He continues to sustain you in this work and that you would see it as an opportunity to glorify Him in all you do. "*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*" (Colossians 3:23-24).
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your goodness and mercy. We lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would surround them with Your peace and protection. Lord, we rebuke every spiritual attack against them in the mighty name of Jesus. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we command every demonic force to flee at the sound of Your name. Father, we ask that You would remove this buzzing sensation and restore their body to full health and wholeness. Let them feel Your presence and Your peace washing over them like a river.
We pray for their workplace, Lord. You know the tensions and strife they face, and we ask that You would soften the hearts of their co-workers. Give our brother/sister the wisdom to know how to respond in love and patience, and let their light shine before others in such a way that they may see their good works and glorify You (Matthew 5:16). Heal any divisions, Lord, and let Your peace rule in that place.
We thank You for the provision of employment, and we ask that You would continue to bless the work of their hands. May they find joy and fulfillment in their labor, knowing that they are ultimately serving You.
Finally, Father, we thank You for the forgiveness of sins through the precious blood of Jesus. We ask that You would continue to cleanse and renew our brother/sister, drawing them ever closer to You. Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may walk in victory and freedom every day.
We declare all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
