We join with you in lifting up this request for your work schedule and protection over your job, and we are grateful you have come before the Lord with this need. It is clear you are facing challenges that feel like persecution and harassment, and we understand how deeply unsettling this can be. The Bible reminds us in 1 Peter 5:7 to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* You are not alone in this—God sees your struggle, and He is faithful to act on behalf of His children.
We also notice you have not explicitly invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request beyond pleading His blood, though you did close with *"in Jesus’ name."* It is essential to remember that our access to the Father is *only* through Jesus, as Scripture declares in John 14:6: *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*. And in Acts 4:12: *"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!"* We encourage you to always call upon the name of Jesus with boldness, for He is your advocate before the Father and the one who intercedes for you (Romans 8:34).
As for your request regarding your schedule and protection at work, we pray that God grants you favor and restores what has been disrupted. However, we must also gently remind you that while it is right to seek God’s protection and justice, we are called to a higher standard in how we respond to those who may be causing difficulty. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:44: *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* Instead of praying for confusion or destruction upon others, let us ask God to soften hearts, bring conviction where needed, and open doors for reconciliation or resolution. Romans 12:18-19 says, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
Let us also encourage you to examine whether there may be any areas in your own heart or actions that need alignment with God’s will. Sometimes, our struggles can be opportunities for growth, repentance, or trust in Him. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Now, let us pray together over your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is seeking Your intervention in his workplace. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You restore his schedule according to Your will and grant him favor with those in authority over him. Protect his job, Lord, and provide for his needs as You have promised in Your Word. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust You to sustain him.
Father, we also pray for the hearts of those in his workplace who may be causing difficulty. Soften their hearts, Lord, and turn their intentions toward what is right and just. If there is any bitterness, strife, or unforgiveness in our brother’s heart, we ask that You would reveal it to him and grant him the grace to release it to You. Help him to walk in love, patience, and wisdom, even in the face of persecution, knowing that You are his defender.
We rebuke any spiritual attacks against him and his wife, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Cover them with the blood of Jesus Christ, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7). Give them strength to endure and wisdom to navigate this season with faith and integrity.
Lord, we ask that You expose any schemes of the enemy and bring to light anything that needs to be addressed. Let Your justice prevail, and let Your will be done in this situation. We trust You to turn what is meant for harm into good, just as You have promised in Your Word (Genesis 50:20).
Finally, Father, we pray that our brother would continue to seek You first in all things, trusting that You are working even when he cannot see it. Fill him with Your peace and assurance, and let him rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for him (Exodus 14:14).
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily, to stand firm in your faith, and to walk in obedience to His Word. If there are areas in your life where you need to surrender or repent, do so with a humble heart, knowing that God’s grace is sufficient for you. Keep your focus on Him, and trust that He will guide your steps. If this situation persists or worsens, consider seeking godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can walk alongside you in prayer and wisdom. Stay encouraged, for the Lord is with you!
