Protection from work and discernment for ### 🙏🙏🙏

[Craurath]

Heavenly Father,

I come to You with a heavy heart, but I choose to trust You. You see everything that is happening in my workplace and their being 2 faced—the spoken words, the hidden intentions especially at ### and ### and the things I do not fully understand.

Lord, I lift up my department head to You. Grant her discernment and wisdom from above. Open her eyes and her heart to see the truth clearly—not through influence or persuasion, but through Your light and truth.

If there are intentions that are not aligned with fairness, humility, or service, I ask You, Lord, to gently but firmly reveal them. Let truth rise and deception fall away without me having to defend myself.

I place my position, my work, and my role into Your hands. You know my heart, my intentions, and my desire to serve with integrity. Protect me from being unjustly excluded, overlooked, or removed.

Lord, I also pray for my relationship with my department head. Restore trust, strengthen understanding, and allow mutual respect to grow. Let our working relationship be guided by peace, clarity, and fairness. May she realize what ### and ### are doing when she is not around.

Guard my heart from resentment, pride, and fear. Help me respond with humility, patience, and wisdom, knowing that You are my defender.

I surrender this situation to You, Lord. I trust that You will fight the battles I cannot fight and establish what is right in Your perfect time.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We hear your heart, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting up your workplace concerns to the Lord. It is clear that you are seeking God’s wisdom and protection in a challenging environment, and we rejoice that you are choosing to trust Him even when circumstances feel heavy. Let us first affirm that your desire for integrity, fairness, and godly relationships in the workplace is commendable. The Lord sees your struggles and your willingness to surrender them to Him, and He will honor that.

We must address the mention of "###" and "###" in your prayer—while we understand you may have redacted names or details for privacy, we encourage you to bring *all* specifics before the Lord in your personal time with Him. God is not intimidated by the schemes of man, and He invites us to cast every care upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). If there are individuals or situations you are hesitant to name, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what needs to be exposed to light. Scripture tells us, *"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open"* (Luke 8:17). Trust that God will uncover what needs to be uncovered in His perfect timing.

Your prayer for your department head’s discernment is powerful. We join you in asking the Lord to grant her wisdom from above, which is *"first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and sincere"* (James 3:17). Pray that her heart would be tender to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, especially if there are hidden motives or injustices at play. Remember, *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand; He turns it wherever He wishes"* (Proverbs 21:1). Even those in authority can be directed by God’s sovereign hand.

We also lift up your role and position at work. It is right to place these into God’s hands, for He is the One who establishes our steps (Proverbs 16:9). However, we must caution against any spirit of fear or self-preservation that may subtly creep in. The Lord calls us to work *"as unto the Lord, not to men"* (Colossians 3:23), and our ultimate security is in Him, not in a job title or position. If you sense any anxiety about being "unjustly excluded or removed," surrender that fear to Christ and ask Him to replace it with His peace. *"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6).

Regarding your relationship with your department head, we pray for restoration and mutual respect, but we must also encourage you to examine your own heart. Are there areas where pride or resentment may be taking root? The Bible warns, *"See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many"* (Hebrews 12:15). Ask the Lord to search your heart and reveal anything that needs to be confessed or released. Humility and patience are key in navigating workplace relationships—*"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who sees all and judges righteously. Lord, we lift up this workplace situation to You, asking for Your divine protection and discernment. You know the hidden intentions, the unspoken words, and the schemes that seek to undermine Your child. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask You to expose every lie and deception with Your light.

Father, we pray for this department head—that You would open her eyes to see truth clearly, not through the lens of man’s persuasion, but through Your unchanging Word. Grant her wisdom from above, and let Your Holy Spirit convict her of any unrighteousness. If there are those around her who seek to manipulate or deceive, we ask that You would frustrate their plans and turn their schemes back upon them.

Lord, we surrender this brother/sister’s position, work, and role into Your hands. You have placed them there for a purpose, and we trust You to establish and protect what You have ordained. Guard their heart from fear, resentment, or pride, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to respond with humility, patience, and wisdom in every interaction.

We also pray for the restoration of trust and respect in this working relationship. Let Your love and grace flow between them, and may any misunderstandings be cleared away by Your truth. If there are those who seek to sow discord, we ask that You would silence their voices and bring their motives to light.

Father, we thank You that You are our Defender and our Strong Tower. We trust You to fight the battles that cannot be fought in the natural, and we rest in the knowledge that You will establish justice in Your perfect time. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified through it all.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, standing on His promises and walking in the confidence that He is with you. If this situation persists, consider seeking godly counsel from a trusted pastor or mentor who can provide wisdom and support. Remember, *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9). You are not alone—God is your defender, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Dear friend, we're right there with you, standing in prayer for your workplace situation. We've been reflecting on your prayer and feel led to lift up a few more things to our Heavenly Father.

Firstly, we're reminded of the importance of integrity in all we do. We join you in asking the Lord to grant you unwavering integrity in your actions and words. Let's pray that you would be a beacon of honesty and uprightness in your workplace, even in the face of challenges. "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." (Proverbs 22:1)

Next, we're led to pray for wisdom in your interactions. Wisdom is not just about knowing what to do, but also when and how to do it. We ask the Lord to grant you His divine wisdom, so that you may navigate your workplace dynamics with discernment and tact. "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." (James 1:5)

We also want to pray for your heart. It's easy to feel overwhelmed or discouraged when faced with uncertainty or injustice. We ask the Lord to guard your heart from bitterness, resentment, or discouragement. Instead, may your heart be filled with love, patience, and hope. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (1 Corinthians 13:4)

Lastly, we're reminded of the power of prayer. We encourage you to keep praying, keep seeking the Lord, and keep trusting in Him. He sees every situation, He knows every heart, and He is working all things together for your good and His glory. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6)

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
