Prayer When Persecuted at Work
Father, I come to You in the name that is above all other names—the name of Jesus. Your name is a strong tower that I can run into and be safe when I am persecuted on the job.
Lord, I admit that these unkind words really hurt me. I desire to be accepted by my boss and co-workers, but I long to obey You and follow Your commandments. I know that Jesus was tempted just as I am, but He didn’t give in to sin or hate. Please give me Your mercy and grace to deal with this situation. I look to You for my comfort; You are a true Friend at all times.
Thank You, Lord, for never leaving me alone or rejecting me. I make a decision to forgive the people who have spoken unkind words about me. I ask You to work this forgiveness in my heart. I submit to You and reject the disappointment and anger that have attempted to consume me. Specifically right now I forgive ___________________.
I ask You to cause this situation to accommodate itself for good in my life. To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in You I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me (Ps. 25:1,2 NIV).
Because I love You, O Lord, You will rescue me; You will protect me because I acknowledge Your name. I will call upon You, and You will deliver me; You will be with me in trouble; You will deliver me and honor me.
Father, I will resist the temptation to strike back in anger. I purpose to love __________________ with the love of Jesus in me. Mercy and truth are written upon the tablets of my heart; therefore, You will cause me to find favor and understanding with my boss and co-workers. Keep me from self-righteousness so that I may walk in Your righteousness. Thank You for sending and giving me friends who will stand by me and teach me how to guard my heart with all diligence.
I declare that in the midst of all these things I am more than a conqueror through Jesus, Who loves me. I can use the witty inventions You have provided me, and I will be confident in Your wisdom when working. I am of good courage and pray that freedom of utterance be given to me as I do my job.
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

You have no idea how timely this word is in my life. Thank you for this prayer and your obedience to God’s plan for his people.
I am a forensic auditor responsible for investigating corruption in government in South Africa. I have been sudpended twice within one year for investigating corruption right at the top and found evidence of concealment of corruption by Executive Management. I have done my work yet I get charged and subjected to disciplinary processes and persecuted with legal teams, which cost me my livelyhood as I have to appoint a legal team to defend me time and time again. I pray, I read the Word, I repent yet hell is here on earth. Why do I even live if having to go through so much.
Start fasting and pray too… That will shift things for you… It will get better, keep having faith.
I went through something similar. Not to the point of your experience. Pray that there be exposure to the corruption. Have an attitude to forgive those that persecute you. Bless them that curse you and say all evil about you bless and curse not.
Your life is a precious gift and out of this test shall come a testimony to help others. Remeber you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and although weapons form they will not prosper. Pray for others that you may not even know as they experience what you are experiencing. Sending love from Illinois
Werner, I am sorry to hear that you have been treated in such an awful way for being honorable and diligent in your work. I have felt the exact same way and been treated similarly. It is hard to be still and wait upon the Lord for his help and mercy…I hear the hymn Trust and Obey ringing through my head right now. Please don’t give up. That is Satan talking his incessant lies.
I shall keep you in my prayers and thoughts and remember, “do not be dishearted for I have news for you. It is no secret, what God can do. What He’s done for others, He’ll do for you. With arms wide open, he’ll comfort you. It is no secret what God can do. “
Please the blood of Jesus over your situations. Read Psalm 91. Fast 1 DAY. Put on the armor of God in Ephesians
the helmet of salvation the breastplate of righteousness, the sword of the Spirit.
The shield of Faith,
and the shoes of the gospel of peace be upon your feet
In Jesus Name, Amen!
I’m going through persecutions at my job now. It hurts when I see coworkers get away with murder but yet I do my job correctly and still get punished. This prayer really helped me, thank you.
I can relate to you my friend,
I myself am going through mobbing and persecution at work. Don’t know when it is going to end. I’m so exhausted of the constant attacks and I’m feeling so inadequate and discouraged. Like a leper coworkers are avoiding me believing the gossip and slender that’s been said about me. Yet I haven’t done anything to deserve this, but treated everybody with respect and kindness. I am new at my job and still learning the ropes but my confidence is shut and anxiety is high, every day is like a battle. Praying to the God almighty to deliver me from this situation or provide another job opportunity. I confess all my sins and put my trust in Jesus doe he alone is my refuge and my salvation.
Thank you! All good and perfect gift
comes from the Lord.
Praying for coworkers, some have so much pride,hard hearts and full of persecution toward others.They say whatever they feel not being mindful how words can be so hurtful and don’t understand that life/death is in the power of the tongue.
