Lorane, we are here with you in spirit, praying for your peace and guidance in this challenging situation. We remember the words of the Apostle Paul, {Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.(Web)}. First, we want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can approach God the Father in prayer.
We pray that God grants you the strength and wisdom to navigate this difficult circumstance. We ask that He softens your boss's heart, turning it from rude and harsh to compassionate and understanding. We rebuke the spirit of fear that is causing you anxiety, and we pray that you will be filled with a spirit of love, power, and self-control.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.(Web)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-control.(Web)
We also lift up your husband's health needs before the Lord, asking for His divine intervention and healing touch. Praying for God's favor as you request a day off for his surgery, and that your boss will be accommodating and supportive during this time.
Lastly, we encourage you to approach this situation with humility and respect, as God calls us to be subject to our authorities and to serve them as we would serve the Lord. You are a Christian wife, missionary, servant, and co-laborer with the cause of Christ. Remember that God sees your circumstances. Try to see your hoousehold as a Christian mission. Choose to be patient with others, just as our Lord Jesus is merciful and patient with us. Bear this in mind if ever feelings of frustration, anger, or distress come into your heart or mind.
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,(Web)
So then, let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.(Web)
In Jesus' name, we pray for your comfort, guidance, and success in resolving this issue.
