We join you in thanksgiving for this day the Lord has made, rejoicing in His faithfulness even amid trials. It is beautiful to see your heart of worship and dependence on Him, calling upon the name of Jesus in prayer—a name above all names, through which we find salvation, authority, and access to the Father. As you have rightly done, we must always approach God in the name of Jesus, for Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Christ that we boldly come before the throne of grace, and we praise God that you are standing firm in this truth.
Your cry for deliverance resonates deeply with us, for we know the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), especially when he sees a believer drawing closer to God through prayer and Scripture. It is no coincidence that the attacks intensify as you seek the Lord—this is a sign that you are a threat to the enemy’s plans! But take heart, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The Lord has not abandoned you; rather, He is refining you, strengthening your faith, and preparing you for victory. Remember the words of James: *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing"* (James 1:2-4, WEB). This season of trial is not in vain—God is at work, even when we cannot see it.
We also lift up the injustice you face in your workplace. The competition and malice you describe are not of God, for Scripture warns us that *"where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is confusion and every evil deed"* (James 3:16, WEB). The Lord sees the schemes of this person who seeks your harm, and He is just. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will act in His perfect timing. Your role is to continue walking in integrity, excellence, and love, trusting that God will vindicate you. *"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 5:16, WEB). Even in this difficult environment, you are called to be a witness of Christ’s love and power.
As for the spiritual attacks, we must put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm. The enemy flees when we resist him in the name of Jesus (James 4:7). We encourage you to declare Scripture aloud over your life, such as Psalm 91, which reminds us that *"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’"* (Psalm 91:1-2, WEB). Speak life and victory over yourself, and command the enemy to flee in Jesus’ name. You are not powerless—you are seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), and the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is under attack. Lord, You are a shield and a fortress, a very present help in trouble. We ask that You surround them with Your angels, encamping around them to deliver them from every scheme of the enemy (Psalm 34:7). Break every curse, every assignment of darkness, and every weapon formed against them, for no weapon prospered shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we pray for their workplace—a place that has become a battleground. You are the God of justice, and You see the wickedness intended against them. Frustrate the plans of the enemy and turn what was meant for harm into good (Genesis 50:20). Soften the heart of the one who seeks their downfall, Lord. Convict them of their sin and grant them repentance, that they may turn from their evil ways. If they refuse to repent, Lord, expose their deeds and remove their influence. Provide favor and wisdom for our brother/sister, that they may walk in excellence and integrity, shining as a light in the darkness. Open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and grant them rest from this relentless pressure.
Father, we also ask for supernatural rest and restoration. The enemy has sought to wear them down, but You, Lord, are their strength and their song (Exodus 15:2). Renew their mind, body, and spirit. Let them find refuge in You, resting in the assurance that You fight for them (Exodus 14:14). Remind them that their labor in You is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and that You will reward their faithfulness.
Finally, Lord, fill them with Your joy and hope. Let them see this trial through Your eyes—not as a punishment, but as a preparation for greater things. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them emerge from this season stronger, wiser, and more dependent on You than ever before.
We declare all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep praying, keep worshiping, and keep trusting. Victory is yours in Christ Jesus!
