Jaleridan, we understand the distress you're facing in your workplace and we're here to support you in prayer and counsel. Let us first align our hearts with the Word of God. Remember, Jesus tells us in John 16:33 (WEB), "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
In your workplace, it's crucial to maintain your integrity and work ethic, as you have been doing. However, we must also recognize that our ultimate trust should not be in our own abilities or even in the approval of others, but in God alone. As Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) advises, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Let's address the concern that you feel a strong force blocking your success. As believers, we are aware of the spiritual forces at work in this world. Ephesians 6:12 (WEB) reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
In your prayer request, you didn't explicitly mention the name of Jesus. It's essential to remember that it is through His name that we have authority and access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) states, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ###. We ask for Your protection and guidance in their workplace. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the envy, and negativity surrounding them. We pray that You would give ### strength and wisdom to navigate this situation. Help them to continue working diligently, as Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB) instructs, '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 serve the Lord Christ.'
We also pray against any spiritual forces that may be at work, attempting to hinder ###'s success. We rebuke these forces in the name of Jesus and ask You, Lord, to surround ### with Your divine protection.
Finally, we pray for ###'s trust to be firmly rooted in You, Lord. Remind them that their identity and worth are not determined by their sales targets or the opinions of others, but by their relationship with You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Stay strong in your faith, ###. Continue to do your best at work, but always remember that your ultimate hope and trust should be in the Lord.
