Father, thank you for hearing my prayers last night. Please help me to forgive those who have unintentionally done me wrong. Forgive me for my complaining and gossiping to my friends about the situation. I ask you, Father, to help me "end well". Help me to show your love to those I will no longer see on a daily basis. Father, I need your help, because I can not do this of my own strength. Jesus, I ask you to use this situation to bring glory to your name. Thank you for answering my cries for encouragement in my Bible reading so immediately last night.

But these people insult powers they don't know anything about. They are like senseless animals that end up getting destroyed, because they live only by their feelings.

Now they are in for real trouble. They have followed Cain's example  and have made the same mistake that Balaam did by caring only for money. They have also rebelled against God, just as Korah did. Because of all this, they will be destroyed.

These people are filthy minded, and by their shameful and selfish actions they spoil the meals you eat together. They are like clouds blown along by the wind, but never bringing any rain. They are like leafless trees, uprooted and dead, and unable to produce fruit.
Jude 1:10-12

Father, it is not my desire to have anything happen to your ministry, but I am very aware of the need for serious intervention on your part to change the hurtful cycle that occurs there. I ask that you remove my pride and my hurt. Your will be done in this ministry.

I ask you also, to help me do well at the new job you have placed me in. I am not sure how this job fits into your will for my life, but I trust you. Use me to further your kingdom and to help others see you through me.

Thank you also, Lord, for showing me your wisdom in recent events in my life. I now know that things I thought to be a certain way were indeed not. You knew this and removed it from my life to protect me. Thank you for caring for and protecting me even when I resist.
