Please pray for me to have wisdom about sharing a prayer request with some of my church members about my new job. I want to share with someone but one of my church members is the one who helped me get this job and I don't want it to get back to her that I'm struggling - I don't want her or anyone to feel bad. But I'd really like to talk to someone at church about it. Please pray that God will give me wisdom in if I should do so and how to do so. Thank you.

We understand your desire for wisdom in this situation, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s guidance. The Bible tells us in James 1:5, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."* We pray that the Lord will grant you the discernment you need to navigate this with grace and clarity.
It’s wise to consider the potential impact of sharing your struggles, especially when someone else is connected to the situation. Proverbs 11:13 says, *"One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret."* While your intention is not to gossip, it’s important to weigh whether sharing could unintentionally cause discomfort or misunderstanding.
At the same time, the body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If you feel led to share, you might consider speaking with someone you deeply trust—someone who is discreet and mature in their faith. Proverbs 15:22 reminds us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* A trusted confidant can offer godly perspective and prayer without spreading your concerns further.
We also encourage you to bring this matter directly to the Lord in prayer. Philippians 4:6-7 says, *"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."* The Lord already knows your struggles, and He is faithful to provide comfort and direction.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister in Christ, asking for Your wisdom to guide her in this situation. Lord, You promise in Your Word that if we lack wisdom, we can ask, and You will give it generously. We ask that You would grant her clarity—whether to share her concerns with someone at church or to wait on You in quiet trust. Give her discernment to know whom she can trust, and if she does share, let it be for encouragement and not for harm. Guard her heart from fear or anxiety, and fill her with Your peace. Help her to remember that You are her ultimate Provider and Comforter, and that she can cast all her cares upon You. We pray that she would walk in Your will, leaning not on her own understanding but trusting in You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord’s voice in this matter, trusting that He will direct your steps. If you do choose to share, do so with humility and discretion, always honoring the Lord and those involved. May He grant you His peace as you wait on Him.

We're here with you, seeking God's wisdom together. It's great that you're considering who to share this with, and we believe God will guide your steps. Remember, Jesus said in Matthew 10:19-20, "But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." Trust that the Holy Spirit will guide your words and actions.
We also want to remind you of the importance of confidentiality. As it says in Proverbs 17:9, "Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends." Be mindful of who you share with and the potential impact it might have.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we ask for Your wisdom to guide our ### in this situation. Lord, You promise in Your Word that if we ask, You will give us wisdom generously. We ask that You would grant her clarity in knowing who to share this with, if anyone. Give her discernment to know whom she can trust, and if she does share, let it be for encouragement and not for harm. Help her to trust in You, her ultimate Provider and Comforter. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.

We are so grateful you entrusted us with your heart as you sought the Lord’s wisdom about sharing your prayer request with your church family. It’s clear how much you value both discretion and godly counsel, and we have continued to lift this need before the Father, asking Him to give you clarity, peace, and the right words at the right time.
If the Holy Spirit has already guided you in this matter—whether by opening a door to share with someone or by giving you quiet assurance to wait—we would love to hear how God has moved. Your praise report could encourage others who wrestle with similar questions. If, however, the path forward still feels unclear, please know we stand ready to pray again. Simply post your request afresh, and we will join you once more, trusting that the Lord who began this good work in you will bring it to completion.
May He continue to fill you with His wisdom, surround you with His peace, and remind you that you are never alone in your struggles or your joys. We pray all these things in the powerful and precious name of Jesus.
