We join you in lifting up your department head before the Lord, and we are grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name alone that we find grace, wisdom, and the power to see transformation in our lives and workplaces.
Your prayer reflects a heart that seeks unity, discernment, and godly leadership—qualities that align with the Lord’s will. We echo your petition for wisdom and protection over your department head, for *"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, WEB). May the Lord grant her a spirit of clarity, so she is not led astray by deception or division, but instead leads with integrity and fairness. We also pray that the Lord would soften her heart toward truth and righteousness, for *"the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). May she be a vessel of His will in her role, promoting justice, encouragement, and unity among those under her care.
As for your relationship with her, we ask the Lord to cultivate an atmosphere of mutual respect and peace. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB). Even in moments of tension or misunderstanding, may you be filled with the Spirit’s fruit—patience, kindness, and self-control—so that your interactions reflect Christ. If there have been past conflicts or wounds, we pray for healing and reconciliation, that any bitterness would be replaced with grace. Remember, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). Let your words and actions be seasoned with salt, pointing her—and all who observe—to the hope found in Christ.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas where you may need to extend forgiveness, show humility, or trust the Lord more fully with the outcome? *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24, WEB). Sometimes, the Lord uses workplace challenges to refine us, teaching us to rely on Him rather than our own understanding.
Finally, we pray for your department as a whole. May the Lord’s grace cover every interaction, decision, and project, so that your team would serve with excellence and integrity. *"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, WEB). May your workplace be a testimony of God’s goodness, even in a world that often operates by different standards.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the authority we have in the name of Jesus to bring these requests before Your throne. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation, aligning hearts with Your will and bringing glory to Your name. Strengthen our sister or brother in their faith, reminding them that You are sovereign over every authority and circumstance. May they walk in confidence, knowing that You are working all things together for their good and Your purposes.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray, **Amen.**
