Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear anonymous friend who is facing a challenging situation with a manipulative and bullying colleague. Lord, we ask for your strength and guidance in this difficult circumstance. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 18:2 that you are our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. We pray that you would be a shield of protection around our friend, guarding them against the tactics of their colleague.
Lord, we ask for wisdom and discernment for our friend to know how to respond in a way that honors you. Help them to remain steadfast and strong, not allowing the actions of others to define their worth or identity. Remind them of your promise in Isaiah 41:10, that you are with them, strengthening and upholding them.
We also pray for the heart of their colleague. Lord, soften their heart and bring conviction to their actions. Help them to see the harm they are causing and grant them a change of heart. We know that you are a God of transformation and redemption, and we trust in your power to bring about healing and reconciliation in this situation.
Lord, we ask for your peace to fill our friend's heart, knowing that you are in control and that you will fight their battles. Grant them the courage to stand up against injustice and to seek resolution in a manner that reflects your love and grace.
Finally, we pray for unity and harmony in the workplace. May your presence be felt among all colleagues, fostering an environment of respect, kindness, and cooperation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
