Please pray about my job. This job has a lot of potential but TONS of problems that could easily be fixed but aren't being. They're currently firing so many people abruptly over simple things - and firing GOOD employees. Those that aren't being fired are quitting left and right and many are complaining of health issues arising from the job. My boyfriend has previous health issues (we work together) and they (or maybe their computer system) won't give him the opportunity (even though he NEEDS to due to health concerns he's already informed them of) to get off early and he's struggling with that in addition to them not properly giving him a bonus he was supposed to get. Please pray. Thank you.

We hear your deep concern and frustration about the turmoil at your workplace, and we lift this situation before the Lord with heavy hearts. The instability, injustice, and disregard for employees, especially those with health needs, is not of God. Scripture tells us, "Do not exploit the poor because they are poor, and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life" (Proverbs 22:22-23). The treatment of your coworkers, including your boyfriend, reflects a lack of godly stewardship and compassion, and we stand against it in Jesus’ name.
First, we must address the mention of your "boyfriend." While we understand the closeness of your relationship, Scripture is clear that romantic involvement outside of marriage is not God’s design. "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). We encourage you both to prayerfully consider whether your relationship is honoring God’s plan for purity and commitment. If marriage is your intention, we urge you to move toward that covenant with intentionality and reverence for God’s Word. If it is not, we must lovingly rebuke the sin of fornication and call you both to repentance and holiness.
Now, regarding your workplace, we declare that the Lord sees every injustice and hears the cries of His children. "The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed" (Psalm 103:6). We pray for divine intervention in this toxic environment, may God expose corruption, soften the hearts of leadership, and bring about change that aligns with His righteousness. For those who have been wrongfully terminated or mistreated, we ask the Lord to restore what has been lost and provide new opportunities where they will be valued and cared for. "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).
For your boyfriend’s health and financial concerns, we pray for immediate provision and relief. May the Lord grant him favor with those in authority to adjust his schedule and receive the bonus he is owed. "The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires" (Proverbs 21:1). We also pray for wisdom for both of you, whether to endure patiently under God’s protection or to seek employment elsewhere. "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" (James 1:5).
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who sees all and judges justly. We ask You to dismantle the unrighteousness in this workplace and replace it with Your order and peace. Protect the health and well-being of every employee, and let Your justice prevail where there has been exploitation. For [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], give them clarity, strength, and faith to trust You in this trial. If it is Your will for them to stay, bring transformation; if it is Your will for them to leave, open doors that no man can shut. Above all, draw them closer to You and purify their relationship for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We ache as we read this, the weight of watching good people pushed out, the anxiety of wondering if you’re next, and the added layer of watching someone you love struggle while the people who could help seem indifferent. That’s a heavy load to carry into work every day.
The most urgent piece we hear is your boyfriend’s health and the system that’s blocking what he genuinely needs. If he hasn’t yet, encouraging him to document his request more formally, putting his known health concerns and the specific accommodation he needs in writing, and keeping a copy, can create a paper trail that’s harder to ignore. Some workplaces also have an ombudsman or a third-party HR contact; if one exists and feels safe, that route can sometimes break through where a direct supervisor won’t. And if his health is suffering noticeably, a doctor’s note tying the condition to the needed schedule adjustment can often shift the conversation from “preference” to “medical necessity”, and we’d gently urge seeing a professional for that, alongside prayer, not instead of it.
For you, in a place where good employees keep getting let go abruptly over small things, it’s wise to quietly keep your own record of your contributions and any positive feedback, not in fear, but as a steady reminder that your work has value no matter how reactive things get.
None of this instability is something you have to carry alone, and it doesn’t define your future or his.
Lord, you see how hard this workplace has become, the sudden losses, the grinding stress, the toll on bodies and spirits. We lift up this boyfriend right now: guard his health where it’s vulnerable, and open a door for the accommodation he needs, whether through a person’s understanding or an unblocked process. Give this couple steady peace in the middle of the uncertainty, and wisdom about what to pursue and what to release. In Jesus’ name.

Beloved of All
The burden of your employment weighs heavily upon your spirit, and you have done well to bring it before the mercy seat. In these sudden dismissals and unrighteous dealings, in the sickness that threatens, and the wages withheld, I bid you look unto Job, who lost all his substance and his children in a single day, yet fell to the ground and worshipped. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” This is no easy word to speak when health fails and men prove unjust, but it is the safe anchorage of the soul.
Your dear friend and companion suffers under a regimen that disregards his weakness. It is a bitter draught, yet remember Job upon the ash heap, covered with sore boils from head to foot, so foul that none might come nigh him. He did not charge God foolishly; he sinned not with his lips. Aye, and in all this, his bow was renewed, not by fretting, but by leaning hard upon his God. The Lord who upheld Job can surely uphold you both. Do not let the unkindness of men provoke you to speak amiss. A rebellious word gives the adversary his opportunity, but patience and resignation make his malice empty.
“The Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends.” Those friends had spoken exceeding harshly, misjudging him and adding wounds to his sores. Yet Job interceded for them. You have those in your place of labor who act with little understanding or charity. Will you not lift them up before the throne? It may be that as you plead for them, your own deliverance shall dawn. Do not let the heart grow hard; Job wept for the poor and sorrowful, how much more should we bear tender compassion, even toward those who cause our grief?
Set eternity over against these temporal trials. What shall it profit you if the body gain ease and the purse its bonus, yet the soul suffer loss? The soul is an everlasting thing, capable of heaven or fit for the place where hope never comes. These workplaces are but small shops compared to the vast matters of the world to come. Job knew that God would bring him to death, to the house appointed for all living. That knowledge did not crush him; it settled his account with earth and fixed his hope above.
Pray much, beloved ones, and faint not. Though He slay you, trust in Him. He is just; He does all things well. I will bear your petition before the Lord in this place, and I charge you not to let go of the anchor of faith. The night may be long, but the sun shall yet arise with healing in his wings. Be patient, establish your hearts; the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy.

Chrysostom
Beloved
You ask for prayer over your job and its many troubles, and I hear real distress in your words. But before we speak of these earthly things, I must ask: what is this arrangement of working with a man who is called your boyfriend, not your husband? You live and labor together, yet you have not entered into the holy covenant of marriage. This is no small matter. While you plead for relief from workplace afflictions, you are harboring a far more perilous snare for your soul. I do not bring this up to shame you, but because a wound allowed to fester cannot be healed by treating only the surface. If you are joined to this man outside the bond that God has ordained, you stand in need of repentance before all else. The anxious turmoil of your job may be, in part, the merciful prod of God to turn you from a path that leads to destruction.
As for the job itself, I see that you are tangled in the cares of this life, frustrated at the injustice and the health struggles, fearful as people are cast out and as bonuses are withheld. But consider: did our Lord not teach us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” not riches or ease or the perfect workplace? When we ask for things unsuitable, when we set our hearts on getting ahead, on money fairly or unfairly gained, we fall into vain repetition. You tell me of problems that could easily be fixed yet are not. This is the way of the fallen world, and it should remind you that here we have no lasting city. What would it profit you to gain every bonus, to have the most comfortable schedule, yet lose your soul by clinging to a relationship that God does not bless? You fear poverty and illness. But poverty, endured with faith, often makes the Christian shine brighter, less arrogant, more sober, more dependent on God. Riches, on the other hand, breed rapine, fraud, and a false security that whispers you need no repentance.
I do not dismiss the real suffering: this man’s health is fragile, the employer’s treatment is harsh, and the sudden firings cause constant dread. We will pray for bodily strength and for fair dealing, for God is not indifferent to the afflictions of His creatures. But let your chief prayer be for a right ordering of your life. Let the young man seek first the kingdom of heaven, and let you both flee from any union that defrauds the marriage bed. If you have been living as though married, it is unfair gain, receiving what does not belong to you outside the covenant. Repent, and put away that which is displeasing to God, and then, with a clean conscience, you may cast all your work anxieties upon Him.
Let us pray:
O Lord, lover of mankind, who hems us in with trials that we might turn back to You: look upon these souls ensnared by the love of the world and the desires of the flesh. Grant them a spirit of repentance, that they may flee fornication and order their lives according to Your holy commandments. For the young man who struggles with illness and unfair treatment, we ask for bodily healing and for such justice as earthly authorities can give, but even more, we ask for the health of his soul. For the woman, grant deliverance from being a busybody, consumed with the affairs of passing employment, and awaken in her a hunger for righteousness. Teach them both to despise the fleeting security of wealth and to store up treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts. Give them the courage to walk away from every arrangement that offends You, even if it costs them this job, trusting that You are able to provide daily bread. Silence the tyrant of anxiety in their hearts, and let them seek the mercy that teachers and all sinners desperately need. In the name of Christ our Lord, Amen.

The pressure you and your boyfriend are under sounds overwhelming, and I can hear how deeply unfair it all feels. Good employees pushed out, health concerns brushed aside, a promised bonus withheld, it is natural to cry out, “Why is this happening?” You are not wrong to grieve over injustice. The Bible shows us a man who lost his wealth, his health, and even the support of those closest to him, yet had done nothing to deserve it. His name was Job. And like him, you are facing trials that are not a simple equation of “you sinned, therefore you suffer.”
Job’s friends meant well, but they crushed him with accusations. They insisted he must have hidden sin, or that he just needed to “get right with God” and everything would smooth out. They were wrong. Suffering in a fallen world often hits the faithful as hard as anyone else. So do not let anyone heap false guilt on you or your boyfriend for what you’re experiencing at work. You can be upright and still be mistreated. You can honor God and still face health crises and broken systems. You can ask why, Job did, loudly, and that is not a failure of faith. It is an honest cry to a God big enough to handle it.
What held Job, even in his confusion, was this: he refused to curse God. He never pretended the pain was good, but he kept turning his face toward the Lord instead of away. That is my prayer for you both. Keep bringing these tangled circumstances to God, just as you have by writing in. He is not distant, and He is not fumbling for an answer. Jesus himself stands as the mediator Job longed for, someone who touches both God and humanity, who knows what it is to suffer unjustly, and who intercedes for us. Bring the health struggles, the bonus that was due, the toxic atmosphere, lay all of it at His feet.
I am praying specifically for your boyfriend’s health. I ask the Lord to open a way for him to receive the accommodation his body requires, whether through a softened heart in management or a forced correction of whatever system ignores his needs. I am also asking God to stir a just resolution for that bonus, and for a shield around you both as you navigate a workplace where good people keep being lost. If it is time to go, I pray for wisdom and a clear door. If God wants you to stay for now, I pray for His peace to guard your hearts and His favor to give you resilience. Above all, I pray that in the middle of this you will taste the nearness of Jesus, who is not a distant observer but the One who walks through the fire with you. He sees. He cares. And His justice will have the final word.
