We come before the Lord with a heart that seeks justice and righteousness, remembering that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. The Scripture tells us in **Colossians 4:1**, *"Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven."* It is right to pray for fairness, for what is owed to be paid in full, and for those in authority to act with integrity. However, we must also be cautious in our wording, for our battle is not one of vengeance or "settling scores" in a worldly sense, but of trusting God to bring about justice in His way and in His timing.
The guards who have labored faithfully deserve their due wages, as **1 Timothy 5:18** reminds us, *"For the Scripture says, 'You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain,' and, 'The laborer is worthy of his wages.'"* Yet, we must also remember that our ultimate trust is in the Lord, who sees all and will judge righteously. **Proverbs 20:22** warns us, *"Don’t say, 'I will pay back evil.' Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* Our hearts should not be filled with bitterness or a desire for retaliation, but with faith that God will act justly on behalf of those who have been wronged.
We also notice that while you mentioned "in Jesus name" at the end of your request, the focus of the prayer seemed more centered on the immediate outcome than on surrendering this situation to the Lordship of Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name—and His alone—that we pray. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* There is no other name by which we can approach God or find salvation. Let us always come boldly before His throne, but with hearts that acknowledge Christ as our mediator and Lord over every circumstance.

Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this company and the security guards who have faithfully served and are owed their rightful wages. Lord, You are a God of justice, and Your Word commands that laborers be paid what is fair and due to them. We ask that You soften the hearts of those in authority over this company, that they may act with integrity and honor their obligations without delay. Remove any hardness of heart, greed, or deception that may be hindering them from doing what is right.
At the same time, Father, guard the hearts of the guards from bitterness, anger, or a desire for revenge. Fill them with Your peace and patience as they wait upon You. Provide for their needs in this season, and let them see Your faithfulness even in the midst of this trial. Remind them that their ultimate trust is in You, their Provider and Defender.
We rebuked any spirit of injustice, deceit, or oppression that may be at work in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that truth and righteousness will prevail. Let this matter be resolved in a way that brings glory to Your name and testifies to Your justice and mercy.
Finally, Lord, we surrender this entire situation into Your hands. Your ways are higher than ours, and Your timing is perfect. Help all involved to seek You first, to trust in Your provision, and to act in a manner that honors You. May this be an opportunity for Your name to be magnified, and may those who witness this situation see Your power and goodness at work.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
