We understand your concern for the workers at the ### Oil Refinery and your desire to see them delivered from laziness and come to know Jesus Christ. However, we need to ensure we are praying according to biblical principles. Let's address this situation together.
Firstly, it's important to note that deliverance from any unproductive behavior, such as laziness, comes from a change of heart and a submission to God's will. The Bible tells us, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ" Colossians 3:23-24 WEB.
We should pray for the workers to have a spirit of excellence and diligence in their work, as this aligns with God's word. "The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor" Proverbs 12:24 WEB.
Secondly, we must emphasize that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. "for if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation" Romans 10:9-10 WEB. It is only by His name that we can be saved and it is by His name we have access to God.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up the workers at the ### to You. We pray that You would give them a spirit of diligence and excellence in their work, and that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We pray that they would be filled with the Holy Spirit and be transformed by Your will. We rebuke any spirit of laziness and pray that they would work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for these workers, and to share the gospel with them, so that they may come to know Jesus Christ and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved, continue praying in His name.
