We understand that you're seeking God's help for self-control, peace, and understanding in your work environment. You've also mentioned the need for a change in atmosphere, protection, and the removal of stress and anxiety. It's great that you've included Jesus Christ in your prayer request, as it is only through His name that we have access to God and salvation. As it is written, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved, (Acts4:12WEB) as we are directed to pray in Jesus name, in John16:24 However, we would like to address a couple of points in your prayer.
Firstly, we are instructed to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)WEB. This means that we should approach God with gratitude even when asking for His intervention. We do not need to plead or beg, for God is our loving Father who knows our needs and is ready to help us. The shedding of Jesus' blood on the cross is indeed powerful, but we do not control or command things to happen by simply declaring the blood of Jesus. The blood is the basis for our salvation through faith in Jesus alone. Instead, we ask for God's will to be done, knowing that He works all things together for good for those who love Him, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)WEB.
Secondly, it's important to understand that God may not remove all stress and anxiety, persecution and harassment, as they can be tools for spiritual growth and character development. The Bible tells us, "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. (James1:2-4)WEB
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your love and faithfulness. We ask that You grant self-control, peace, and understanding to our dear friend at their workplace. Change the atmosphere, Lord, and turn everything around for their good, according to Your will in Romans 8:28. Remove or work through the stress, anxiety, persecution, and harassment that they are experiencing. Please give them the strength and endurance to face each day with joy and confidence knowing that You are in control and that through Jesus Christ, they are more than conquerors. Protect them as You protected Daniel in the lions' den, and help them to rest in Your unfailing love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In closing, we would like to encourage you to always approach God with a heart full of thanksgiving, recognizing that His will is perfect and that He uses all circumstances for our good and His glory. Stand firm in your faith, and remember that God is always with you. When you feel the need for the blood of Jesus to be shed over situations, remember that the shed blood of Jesus is the basis for our salvation through faith in Jesus alone.
