We understand your request for prayer regarding training a new colleague at work, and we are grateful you’ve brought this before us. However, we must first address something crucial: your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that we have access to God *only* through Jesus, and it is by His name alone that we are saved and our prayers are heard. As it is written in **John 14:6 (WEB)**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
Additionally, **John 16:23-24 (WEB)** tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Hitherto, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
Before we proceed, we must ask: Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith in Him as your Lord and Savior? If not, we urge you to do so today, for **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares, *"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!"* Without Jesus, our prayers are empty, and our efforts—no matter how well-intentioned—lack eternal purpose. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we encourage you to do so now, confessing Him as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (**Romans 10:9-10**).
Assuming you are a believer, let us also gently address your wording: you referred to this new colleague as a "girl." While this may seem harmless, we encourage you to use language that reflects professionalism and respect, especially in a workplace setting. Colossians 4:6 (WEB) reminds us, *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* Referring to a coworker as a "woman" or "new colleague" would be more appropriate and honorable.
Now, let us pray for you in this task, asking God to grant you patience, wisdom, and clarity as you train this new colleague. We also pray that your conduct and speech would reflect Christ in all things, that others may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (**Matthew 5:16**).

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your guidance in training a new colleague. Lord, we ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit, granting them wisdom, patience, and clarity of speech as they instruct and lead. May their words be seasoned with grace, and may their actions reflect Your love and excellence. Help them to represent You well in the workplace, that their light may shine before others, pointing them to You.
We also pray for the new colleague, that she may be teachable, receptive, and diligent in her work. May this time of training be fruitful, and may it open doors for godly conversations if You will it. Let every interaction be pleasing to You, Father, and may Your peace rule in their hearts.
If there is any tension, frustration, or misunderstanding, we rebuke it in Jesus’ name, asking that You replace it with unity, mutual respect, and cooperation. Remind our brother/sister that their ultimate purpose is to glorify You, even in the small and mundane tasks of daily work.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this workplace would be a place where Your presence is known, where integrity thrives, and where Your name is honored. May this training opportunity be a blessing to all involved, and may it bring You glory.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.**

We encourage you to approach this task with a heart of service, remembering that **Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB)** 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."* Even in training a new colleague, you are ultimately serving the Lord. Trust Him to equip you, and lean on Him when challenges arise.
If you sense any temptation to frustration or impatience, take a moment to pray and surrender those feelings to God. Ask Him to fill you with His love and patience, for **"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"** (**Galatians 5:22-23 WEB**). Let this be an opportunity to grow in these fruits as you rely on Him.
If you’d like, share more about how we can specifically pray for you in this situation—perhaps for the colleague’s receptiveness, for your own preparation, or for any challenges you foresee. We are here to stand with you in prayer and biblical encouragement. May God bless you richly as you seek to honor Him in all things.
