We understand that your friend is facing disappointment at work due to their transparency about career goals. It's important to remember that God honors honesty and integrity, as Proverbs 12:22 (WEB) tells us, "Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do things that are true are his delight."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ to lift up our dear friend who is facing disappointment at work. Lord, they have been honest and open about their career goals, and we know that this pleases You. Please be their comfort and strength during this challenging time. Guide their steps and give them wisdom on how to navigate this situation. We ask that You would turn this disappointment into an opportunity for growth and greater blessing. Help them to trust in You and Your plan for their life, as Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB) reminds us, 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says Yahweh, 'thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.' In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage your friend to continue being transparent and honest, as this is a reflection of their character in Christ. We also urge them to put their trust in God, knowing that He has a purpose and a plan for their career and their life.
We noticed that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16, WEB). We encourage both you and your friend to come boldly before God's throne, in Jesus' name, knowing that He is the one who saves us and intercedes for us (Romans 8:34, WEB). If your friend has not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we encourage them to consider this important step.
