We rejoice with you that your prayers for retirement have been answered, and we trust that God's timing is perfect. We stand with you in prayer regarding the difficulties you're facing at your workplace.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only by His name that we have access to the Father and can be saved. As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB.
In dealing with difficult people, Jesus gives us clear instructions, "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," Matthew 5:44 WEB.
While it is natural to desire the removal of those causing strife, we should also pray for their hearts to change. As it is written, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." Romans 12:18 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our fellow believer who is facing trials at their workplace. Lord, we ask for Your peace to fill their heart and mind. We pray that You would soften the hearts of those causing division and strife. Lord, if it is Your will, remove them from this believer's path, or better yet, transform their hearts for Your glory. Help this believer to endure with patience and love, blessing those who curse them, and doing good to those who hate them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words of the Apostle Paul, "Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice." Philippians 4:4 WEB. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and trust in His plan for you. Continue to walk in love and forgiveness, knowing that God works all things together for good. Romans 8:28 WEB.
