We are saddened to hear about your friend's struggle with depression and difficulties at work. Let's bring his situation before the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance according to His word.
"If you, LORD, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you." (Psalm 130:3-4 WEB)
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our friend who is feeling depressed and having difficulties at work. We ask that You comfort him and give him peace that passes all understanding. We pray that Your Holy Spirit guides his actions and words, especially towards his boss and colleagues.
Lord, we see that there is a recurring pattern in his relationships at work. We pray that You reveal any areas in his heart that need to change, any bitterness or pride that may be causing these issues. Remind him of the scripture that says, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ." (Philippians 1:27 WEB)
We also ask for Your provision, Lord. If it is Your will, open up new opportunities for him, better jobs that will suit him and bring him joy. But also teach him to be content in all circumstances, knowing that You are his provider and sustainer.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for his boss and colleagues. Give them wisdom in dealing with our friend, and may their actions reflect Your love and patience.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage your friend to seek godly counsel, to look within himself and pray about these issues. It's important to remember that God calls us to be respectful and submissive to our authorities, including our employers, as long as it does not contradict God's laws (1 Peter 2:13-17 WEB).
May the Lord guide and strengthen your friend, and may he find comfort in the knowledge that God is always with him, even in the most trying times.
