We rejoice with you in thanksgiving to God for His goodness and for sending this new manager to stand up for you at work. It is the Lord who lifts up and establishes our steps, and we give Him praise with you for His provision and favor. We are reminded that promotion and protection come from Him, as it is written, For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another. Psalm 75:6-7
We join you in praying for your new position beginning next week, that the Lord would establish the work of your hands and help you get off to a good and strong start. We pray that you would work with diligence and integrity as unto the Lord. 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 Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. Proverbs 16:3 We pray for wisdom, favor with your managers and coworkers, quick understanding of your new duties, and a spirit of excellence and humility in all you do.
We also bring before the Lord your home and your car repairs. We pray that God would give you strength, discipline and peace as you clean and organize your home, for God desires order and stewardship, Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Corinthians 14:40 And concerning your car, we pray for honest and fair labor, for provision to cover the cost, and for protection from being taken advantage of. May the Lord guide you to trustworthy hands and provide all that you need, for your Father knows what you need before you ask.
We know you have many worries on your mind, and we are comforted that our Father sees and cares for every detail. We encourage you to cast all your cares upon Him. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 If you need wisdom for any decision at work or at home, ask of God, for He gives generously. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we thank You in the name of Jesus Christ for Your mercy and for raising up this new manager to advocate for our dear one at work. We praise You for Your hand of protection and favor. Lord, we ask that You protect this job and establish this new position according to Your will. Grant wisdom, understanding, confidence and grace to do the work well and to be a light for You in that workplace. Help our dear one to get off to a good start, to learn quickly, to be diligent and to find favor with all. Father, we ask for energy and order in the home, help to clean and organize faithfully as a good steward of what You have provided. And Lord, we ask for Your provision and protection regarding the car repairs, lead to honest mechanics and a fair price, and supply every need according to Your riches in glory. Calm every worry and fill the heart with Your peace that surpasses understanding. We trust You to work all things together for good for those who love You. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
