We join you in lifting up your work assessment today, trusting that the Lord will guide your mind, words, and actions as you seek to honor Him in all things. The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:13, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This is not a promise of success by the world’s standards, but a declaration that Christ’s strength is made perfect in our weakness. Lean on Him, for He is faithful to equip those who rely on Him.
We also recall Proverbs 16:3, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This doesn’t guarantee earthly success, but it assures us that when we surrender our efforts to the Lord, He will direct our steps according to His will. Whether the outcome aligns with your hopes or not, trust that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If this assessment is part of His plan for you, He will open the door. If not, He will redirect you to something even better.
Let us also remember that our ultimate identity and worth are not found in our performance or the approval of others, but in Christ alone. Colossians 3:23-24 tells 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."* Your diligence is seen by Him, and He will honor your faithfulness in His time.
We praise you for ending your request *"in Jesus’ name,"* for it is only through Him that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). There is no other name by which we are saved, and no other name by which our prayers are heard. May this truth deepen your faith as you walk into this assessment, knowing that Christ is with you.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister, asking for Your peace to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Grant them clarity of thought, wisdom in their responses, and a calm spirit as they undergo this assessment. Remove any anxiety or fear, and replace it with the confidence that comes from trusting in You.
Lord, if this assessment is part of Your will for their life, we ask that You would open the door widely and grant them favor. But if this is not Your path for them, we pray You would close this door gently and redirect their steps toward Your perfect plan. May they rest in the knowledge that You hold their future, and that Your ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
We also pray that through this experience, they would grow in their dependence on You, recognizing that their worth is found in Christ alone. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that their labor is not in vain when it is done for Your glory.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
