We lift you up before the Father today, knowing that He cares deeply about every detail of your life, including your work and the anxieties you carry. The Scripture reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* You have done well to bring your burdens to the Lord, and we join you in seeking His peace and provision.
The dread and anxiety you feel are real, but they are not from God. Second Timothy 1:7 declares, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* We rebuke this spirit of fear in Jesus’ name and ask the Lord to replace it with His perfect peace and confidence. You are not alone in this—He goes before you and walks with you into your workplace. Claim the promise of Deuteronomy 31:8: *"Yahweh himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged."*
We also pray for your coworkers, that the Lord would soften their hearts toward you and toward one another. May His love be evident in your interactions, and may you be a light in that place, reflecting Christ in all you do. Colossians 3:23 encourages us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Even in difficult circumstances, your labor is seen by God, and He will reward your faithfulness.
Your need for transportation is not overlooked by Him. We ask the Lord to provide a reliable ride for you today, whether through a willing coworker, a friend, or an unexpected blessing. Recall the words of Matthew 6:31-32: *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things."* Trust that He will meet this need, just as He provides for the birds of the air.
Finally, we thank you for ending your request in the name of Jesus. There is power in that name, and it is the only name by which we are saved and through which we approach the Father. Acts 4:12 reminds us, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* May you walk in the assurance of His presence today, knowing that He has already gone before you to prepare the way.

We rebuke any spirit of fear or discouragement and declare that Your power and love are at work in them. Thank You for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness.
