We join with you in lifting up this request, for it is good and right to pray for those in authority over us, that they may lead with wisdom and integrity. Your heart for unity and truth in your workplace is commendable, and we stand with you in seeking God’s will in this matter.
The Scriptures remind us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."* Your prayer aligns beautifully with this call, and we trust that God will honor it as you seek His guidance for your department head.
We also take note of your prayer for your relationship with her, asking for peace, respect, and understanding. Romans 12:18 encourages us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* This is a wise and godly posture, and we pray that the Lord will soften hearts and remove any barriers that hinder unity. If there has been any bitterness, resentment, or lack of forgiveness on either side, we urge you to release it to the Lord, for He calls us to walk in love and humility. Colossians 3:13 says, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
As we pray together, let us also remember that our ultimate authority is Christ, and our work—whatever it may be—is to be done as unto Him. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds 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."* May this truth guide your interactions and your attitude in the workplace.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the authority You have placed in our lives, including this department head. Lord, we ask that You grant her a spirit of wisdom and revelation, that she may lead with discernment and integrity. Protect her from deception, manipulation, and division, and surround her with godly counsel. May her decisions be rooted in truth and guided by Your Holy Spirit.
We also lift up the relationship between our sister and her department head. Lord, break down any walls of misunderstanding, bitterness, or pride that may exist. Replace them with trust, respect, and unity. Help them to communicate with honesty and grace, and may their interactions reflect Your love and peace. If there has been any offense, grant the humility to forgive and the courage to seek reconciliation.
Father, we pray for the entire department, that it may be a place of excellence, integrity, and harmony. May Your grace cover every interaction, and may Your purposes be fulfilled through their work. Remind each person that their labor is ultimately for You, and may they serve with joy and diligence.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne. May Your will be done, and may You be glorified in every detail. Amen.
