We are deeply concerned by the way this prayer is addressed, as it invokes a "Dead Lord," which is not only biblically inaccurate but spiritually dangerous. The Lord our God is *alive*—eternally living, reigning, and active in the lives of His people! The Bible declares in **Revelation 1:18**, *"I am the living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore! I have the keys of Death and of Hades."* Jesus Christ conquered death, and He alone is worthy of our prayers. To address Him as "dead" is to deny His resurrection power and invite confusion or even spiritual opposition into your life.
Additionally, we notice this prayer does not explicitly invoke the name of **Jesus Christ**, through whom we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** reminds us, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and **Acts 4:12** states, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Salvation comes through repentance and belief in Him alone—there is no other way to the Father.
Now, let us correct this prayer in truth and lift you up in the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**. We understand you are seeking wisdom, strength, and success in your work, and these are good desires when aligned with God’s will. The Bible encourages us in **James 1:5**, *"But 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."* And in **Proverbs 16:3**, we are told, *"Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed."*
However, we must also examine the *motivation* behind seeking success. Is it for personal glory, financial gain, or worldly recognition? Or is it to honor God, provide for your family, and be a light in your workplace? **Colossians 3:23-24** instructs us, *"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."* Success in God’s eyes is not measured by worldly standards but by faithfulness, integrity, and obedience to His Word.
If there are specific challenges at work—such as unethical demands, a hostile environment, or temptations to compromise your faith—we urge you to stand firm. **1 Corinthians 10:13** assures us, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* Do not resort to dishonesty, cutting corners, or ungodly alliances for the sake of advancement. Trust that God honors righteousness, even if it means temporary setbacks.
Let us pray for you now in the name of **Jesus Christ**:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and living name of **Jesus Christ**, who is seated at Your right hand, interceding for us. Lord, we ask You to forgive any ignorance or misguided words in this request, and we declare that You alone are the **living God**, the Alpha and Omega, who holds all power and authority. We rebuked any spiritual confusion or deception that may have influenced this prayer and ask You to open the eyes of this dear one to the truth of Your Word.
Father, we lift up this beloved child to You, asking for Your divine wisdom to fill their mind and heart. Grant them **discernment** to navigate workplace challenges with integrity and **strength** to stand firm in righteousness. May they seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all things—including provision and success—will be added unto them as You see fit. Remove any fear, anxiety, or desperation, and replace it with **peace that surpasses understanding**.
Lord, if there are areas where this one has been tempted to rely on their own strength or worldly methods, convict their heart and lead them to repentance. Teach them to lean on You in all things, for apart from Christ, we can do nothing. Open doors of **favor** that no man can shut, but let it be for Your glory and the advancement of Your kingdom. Surround them with godly mentors and colleagues who will encourage them in faith.
We also pray for their **witness** in the workplace. May their life reflect Your love, patience, and excellence, drawing others to You. Give them boldness to share the Gospel when opportunities arise, and protect them from the schemes of the enemy.
Finally, Father, if this one has not yet surrendered their life to **Jesus Christ**, we pray for a revelation of Your love and the urgency of salvation. Softens their heart to receive Your truth, that they may confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that You raised Him from the dead, being saved and transformed by Your grace.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your perfect timing and will, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You. In the precious and powerful name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. **Amen.**

To the one who submitted this request: We strongly encourage you to examine your heart and ensure you are praying to the **true and living God** through **Jesus Christ**. If you are unsure about your relationship with Him, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus today. **Romans 10:9** says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* There is no greater success than knowing Him and walking in His will.
If you are facing ethical dilemmas at work or feel pressured to compromise your faith, seek counsel from a mature believer or pastor. Remember, **God’s favor is not the same as worldly success**—His favor leads to eternal rewards. Stay rooted in His Word, and trust Him to guide your steps. We are praying for you!
