Rose with thorns

Hello Everybody,

Thank you all so much for praying for me in the past. I did finally find my dream job (the rose) and am very grateful for it. But, of course there are thorns (two co-workers) that bring me a lot of anxiety. Please keep praying for me. I am helping people and am doing work I like but... I feel sick thinking about the shenanigans already played by the two thorns and I have to let it go and not let it affect me. Easier said than done. That's why I'm posting again asking for your prayers.

Please pray for me that I daily rise above the injuries and insults and focus on all the positives and blessings of the job. Please pray for me that I stay close to God and receive His help, love, and encouragement every day so that I'm strong and ready to face people who delight in gossip and tearing down others for sport. Please God, help me.

Heavenly Father, I pray for these two very unhappy people, at this employer. I am praying that every word and action they take, begin to be their own snare. Let them be seen for who they really are, by all other employee's. I pray that you bind this sickness, and cause it to wither and die. Let their be peace at this workplace. Let things began to go smoothly for the person requesting prayer. I pray this in the name of Jesus, Amen!!!

ISAIAH 33:2
"Yahweh be gracious to us. We have waited for You. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble."

PSALM 23:5-6
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life , and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

We will continue to pray that the Lord place a hedge of protection around you, Friend. Congratulations on the new job, too!

Dear Heavenly Father, Please be with praying2 as she deals with the "thorns" at work. Please place the words in her mouth to show her co-workers that she is a child of God. Help them to have a burning desire to know God and turn from their evil ways of gossiping and hurting others. ALso, guide praying2 to you and your word for answers. For this we pray in Jesus name. AMEN
