I'm writing to ask for prayers at my job. Things have been tough this week with work. Yesterday the assistant director at my job got on me for what she thought was not processing return transactions in the right manner, but our Accounting department confirmed that what I did was fine. She also sent me a couple of nit-picky emails today. I felt that I did the best that I could with the situations she's pointed out and to my best judgement. I'm praying that I can be trusted to do my job without feeling like everything that I do is going to be wrong. I'm also praying for better communication on how these certain issues could be better resolved in the future.

I otherwise continue to be estranged from a friend that I had a falling-out with last May. I had visited this friend a year ago last October in San Diego and I'm going to be in San Diego to visit friends again in a couple of weeks. I have tried reaching out to this friend more than once, including sending an apology card over the summer for my actions from the fall-out and emailing him to let him know of my dates for coming in to town. I expressed interest in getting together and followed-up again three weeks after sending the first email. I have not gotten any response in my efforts. I am saddened that it seems I will not be seeing him as I was hoping that seeing one another face-to-face would help. I know now that I need to let things be and move forward. I am asking for prayers for help with moving forward but that he and I are able to resolve things someday in the future. I'm hoping that if I give him space without contacting him for a while, he might one day contact me and be interested in talking things out then.

I pray for your reassurance of your duties and judgment. I pray God will grant you peace when you are anxious and contentment when you are sorrowful.

Also that communication will thrive and each side will be willing to listen and slow to speak and VERY slow to anger or any negative actions toward the other.

Praying for reconciliation with the friend and if not your peace going forward.

sometimes hurtful things happen, and being the delicate vessel you are, the Potter makes you cry to mold you better...you are growing as you continue to listen to your Teacher

Proverbs 18:24
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Heavenly father, I lift your precious child up in prayer. Cover her every where she goes. Cover her mind, cover her heart, cover her spirit, and cover her soul. Fill her with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Any criticism that she receives, may it be used to make her stronger BUT any negative or deceitful comments toward her, which DOES NOT come from you, may she recognize that it is only an attack from the enemy who is trying to steal her joy. I thank you that the devil is under her feet and has no power over her or her emotions. When she goes to work, take over her mind as she thinks and her words as she speaks. I pray that your peace and love inside of her will become infectious, and everyone will be able to work efficiently and effectively as a team. Also, give her the strength to move foward despite the falling-out she had with her friend. Give her peace and closure over this situation so that she can move forward. Surround her with a group of loving friends that will lift her up and push her toward her destiny. Despite her loss, as your word says, she still has a friend in Jesus that sticks closer than a brother, so even if she didn't have any friends, you would still be able to fill that void. Thank you Heavenly father for your grace and mercy. In Jesus name, Amen.
