We understand your concern and are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Firstly, let's remember that God is our ultimate protector, and He cares about every detail of our lives. Psalm 91:1-2 tells us, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
In your prayer, you didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's crucial to understand that it is through His name that we have access to God's power and protection. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Let's pray in the name of Jesus, acknowledging His authority over your situation.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our brother/sister who is feeling threatened by their old manager. Lord, You are our shield and our defender. We ask You to surround them with Your protection, as promised in 2 Thessalonians 3:3, "But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one." Guide them in their interactions, and give them wisdom to navigate this situation. May their heart be filled with Your peace, and may they trust in You, knowing that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that their old manager's heart would be changed, and if it's Your will, Lord, remove this person's influence from their life. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Protector. Amen.
Remember, God is in control, and He promises to protect His children. Stay strong in your faith, and continue to trust in Him. If you haven't already, consider forgiving your old manager, as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:14-15, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you donβt forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." This doesn't mean that what they're doing is acceptable, but it releases you from the burden of anger and bitterness.
Stay strong in faith and remain in the love of Christ. Keep praying and seeking God's will in this situation.
