need help
We hear your cry and we stand with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, asking Him to destroy every scheme of the enemy against your work and your life. It is right that you have called upon Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have authority over the devil and access to the Father, and we are encouraged that you have brought this battle to Him.
We know that the harassment you feel is real, for Scripture tells us our struggle is spiritual. Ephesians 6:11 says Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:12 says For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Yet we also know that the enemy is already defeated by the cross, and that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world as 1 John 4:4 tells us.
The worry you feel about your job is understandable, but we encourage you to cast that worry fully on the Lord who cares for you and who promises to guard you. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:8 says Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Philippians 4:6 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:7 says And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. And we cling to the promise in 2 Thessalonians 3:3 which says But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
We also remember James 4:7 which says Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Resisting him means submitting ourselves to God daily, putting on His armor through prayer and the Word, walking in obedience, and being diligent in the work God has given us. Colossians 3:23 says And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. Even when the enemy seeks to disrupt, we continue to work faithfully as unto the Lord, trusting that He is our provider and protector and that no scheme of the devil can thwart His purpose for you.
We pray together with you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up our brother or sister who is being harassed in their work and whose life feels disrupted by the enemy. We ask that You rebuke the devil and destroy every scheme, every trap, and every lie he has set against this life and livelihood. Cover this child of Yours with the blood of Jesus and clothe them with the whole armor of God, that they may stand firm. We ask You to replace worry and fear with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Grant favor in their workplace, establish the work of their hands, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Strengthen their faith to resist the devil, to remain watchful and sober, and to trust You as their faithful guardian and provider. We declare that You are faithful to establish and guard them from the evil one, and we thank You for the victory we already have in Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray daily in Jesus name, to speak Scripture aloud over your work and your life, and to bring every anxious thought to the Lord with thanksgiving. He sees your diligence and your concern, and He will sustain you.

We hear how heavy this has been, with work feeling harassed and disrupted and the worry about your job sitting on you each day. It makes sense that would leave you feeling anxious and worn down, and we are grateful you reached out for prayer.
You are not alone in this battle, and we remember with you that Jesus is stronger than any scheme meant to unsettle you. When fear rises at work or at home, turning to Him in simple, honest prayer even for a few quiet minutes can help calm the heart and refocus your mind on His care and presence with you right where you are.
One thing that has helped others carrying a similar burden is choosing a trusted pastor or mature believer to pray with regularly, not just once but as ongoing support. Sharing specifically what is happening at work and asking them to stand with you can lift some of the weight and help you see next steps with clearer perspective. Keeping steady rhythms of rest, work, and prayer through the week also helps keep worry from taking over.
Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus' name. Guard their heart and mind with Your peace, expose and thwart what the enemy intends for harm, and give wisdom and steadiness at work each day. Lead them to the right support and help them rest in Your faithful care. Amen.

Your request has been heard and carried to the throne of grace, and we join our hearts with yours in prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ.
You speak of the harassing of the enemy and the disturbance of your daily work, and the worry that presses upon you concerning your calling. Be assured that troubles do not spring out of the dust, neither does affliction grow up from the ground. The Lord Himself kindles the furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door. There is indeed one who thrusts sorely at you that you might fall, and his malice is real, but your gracious God is above him and is able to use even the assaults of the adversary in love to your soul, to chasten and to prove and to make you steadfast.
Remember Job, of whom it is written, In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. He was suddenly cast down from abundance to poverty, from joy to mourning, yet in all this he kept right with God. Here was the triumph of a gracious spirit. So we would have you pray not only for deliverance from sorrow, but first of all, Lord, keep me from sin, let not any iniquity have dominion over me. The arch enemy will fly away confounded from you if you are able by grace to resist him, even while darkness covers your soul. Seek first the kingdom of God and obedience to Him, and then deliverance shall be added unto you.
And what a deliverance is provided. It is written, Then He is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, I have found a ransom. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance through a ransom if God had not thought of it. He has not only invented the way, but He has found the ransom in the precious blood of His Son. In Christ you are saved from yourself, saved from the devil, saved from all the attacks of your old sins, for God has given commandment to save you. Deliverance from the power of darkness is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and we must look to our heavenly Father altogether and alone for it.
We pray for you now.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou who hast bruised the head of the serpent and spoiled principalities and powers, look in mercy upon this Thy servant who is harassed and wearied. Destroy, we beseech Thee, all the schemes of the devil against him. Rebuke the adversary and set a hedge about his life and his labour. Grant him to see Thy hand in all that befalls him, and to trust Thy love which chastens not in wrath but in faithfulness. Keep him from sin when he is tried, keep him from charging Thee foolishly, and keep him from anxious worry which dishonours Thy care. Give him quietness of spirit in his work, diligence in his calling, and a heart that waits upon Thee all the days of his appointed time. Let him know that Thou art gracious and that Thou hast found a ransom, and therefore speak Thou the word, Deliver him. Fill him with the peace that passes understanding, and make his life to declare the works of the Lord. We ask this in Thine own prevailing name, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
Cast your care upon Him, for He cares for you. The Lord reigns, and all things work together for good to them that love God. Be steadfast, be prayerful, and you shall yet say with the Psalmist, The Lord has chastened me sore, but He has not given me over unto death, and you shall live to declare His faithfulness.
