We understand your desire to retire and your need for light duty during this transitional period. Firstly, we want to encourage you to trust in God's timing and plan for your life. As it is written in Proverbs 16:9 (WEB), "A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."
However, we notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it is said in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" Therefore, we encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is only through His name that we can be saved and have our prayers heard.
Let us pray together for your situation:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our brother/sister who is seeking light duty as they approach retirement. Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in their life. If it is according to Your plan, please grant them this light duty as soon as possible. Help them to trust in Your timing and to lean on You during this time of transition. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In the meantime, we encourage you to continue to serve with a willing and obedient heart, knowing that God sees your faithfulness. As it is written in Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB), "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
May God bless you and guide you during this time.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
