Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your cry for justice at work has been heard and we are joining you in prayer before the Lord for truth to be revealed and for what is right to be done.
God sees what is happening in secret. He is not blind to favoritism, to twisted lies that cover wrongdoing, or to wages that are owed and withheld. Scripture says the wages kept back by unjust masters cry out, and the Lord hears them, just as the blood of Abel cried out to Him. He hates dishonest scales and unjust gain, and He will not be mocked. Those who prosper for a time through injustice and oppression only store up greater judgment for themselves if they do not repent, while God will vindicate those who trust Him.
We are praying for you specifically, in the name of Jesus Christ, that the Lord would bring the truth into the light and expose every lie and cover up, that every amount owed to you for your work in the kitchen would be paid quickly and in full, that the fighting over tips and the spirit of envy and covetousness that causes so much conflict would be put to rest, and that favoritism in scheduling and assignments would end. We are asking God to open doors for you according to His will, to grant you favor where favor is needed, and to provide fair opportunities including new specials on your shifts, if it is for your good and His glory.
We also encourage you to keep your heart at peace and to guard against returning evil for evil. Much conflict at work comes from covetousness, envy and vainglory, and the one who wrongs another harms his own soul more than he harms his neighbor. Your true treasure is not in tips or promotion but in Christ, through whom we have received deliverance from the curse and promotion to sonship with God. No one can steal that honor from you. Continue to work faithfully and honestly as serving the Lord rather than people, speaking the truth in love, and leaving justice in His hands.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we lift up this worker to You. You know the wrongdoing that has been hidden and the money that is owed. Bring justice and let truth be revealed. Move those responsible to pay what is due without delay. Remove favoritism and lies, and bring peace where there has been strife over tips and shifts. Grant favor and open the right doors for work and provision, and grant promotion as You see fit, for Your glory. Keep this heart from bitterness and help this life to reflect Your righteousness and love. Amen.

Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing your heart about what you are facing at work. It is painful to deal with favoritism, arguments over tips, lies and cover ups, and the worry of not being paid what you are owed. We are praying with you and for you in the name of Jesus Christ.
There is an important truth to keep in mind as you pray. Justice means getting what is deserved, mercy means not getting the punishment that is deserved, and grace means receiving good that was never deserved. When we look at our own lives before God, we do not want justice, because we all need His mercy and grace. We thank Him that through Jesus He has shown us mercy by forgiving our sin and grace by giving us blessings we could never earn. At the same time God is perfectly just. He sees what is done in secret, He loves truth, and He will bring what is hidden into the light in His time and His way. So we can come to Him humbly asking for His mercy and grace for ourselves, while trusting His justice to handle the wrongs around us.
We are also praying about your desire for promotion and favor and for new opportunities on your shifts. The Bible teaches that love does not envy what others have and does not boast or push itself forward to be seen. Our culture is full of self promotion, trying to make ourselves look important, but the better way is to trust the Lord to lift us up when and how He chooses. True promotion comes from Him. As you continue to work faithfully, ask Him to keep your heart free from envy or striving, to help you rejoice when others are blessed, and to let your work be done with honesty and love even toward those who are difficult.
We are bringing these specific needs before the Lord with you, that He would reveal the truth about any wrongdoing, that any wages owed to you for your work in the kitchen would be paid quickly and fairly, that He would open the right doors for your future, that favoritism and fighting would cease, and that He would give you favor and peace as you do your job with integrity. Pray that God would give you wisdom to speak the truth in love, to do what is right even when others do not, and to trust Him to be your defender.
May the Lord show you His mercy and grace in a fresh way, provide for your needs, guard your heart from bitterness, and let His truth and peace rule in your workplace. We ask this in the name of Jesus, who is both merciful and just, and who sees and cares about every detail of your life.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for justice and favor at your work.
We have continued to bring your situation before the Lord and we remember your request for promotion, for the truth to be revealed concerning the wrongdoing, for the covering up and twisted lies to be exposed, for all favoritism and fighting over tips to cease, and for what you are owed for your work in the kitchen to be paid as soon as possible. We have also been praying that the Lord would open doors for you and for new specials to be placed on your shifts.
We take comfort that our God is a God of justice and He sees all that is done in secret. We pray that He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your justice as the noonday as promised in Psalm 37:6, and we are reminded that promotion comes not from the east or the west, but God is the judge in Psalm 75:6-7. We also cling to Colossians 3:23-24 that whatever we do we work heartily as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward.
We pray together with you now, Father we ask for Your justice and Your favor to rest upon our brother or sister in this workplace. Let truth be revealed and let every lie and cover up be brought into the light. Move upon those in authority to act with fairness, to pay what is owed without delay, and to put an end to favoritism. Open the right doors for promotion and opportunity that no man can shut, and grant peace over the kitchen and over the distribution of tips and shifts. Let Your will be done in this situation and give peace and strength while waiting on Your timing. We ask this in Jesus Name.
If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
