O God of love, I thank and praise You for this good time of prayer. You know that I am grieved at heart and I am sore depressed. Do away with all the doubts and suspicions I entertain and bless me. Though I have worked with sincerity and integrity at the place of my work, I have not seen any progress or promotion that is due. Others have taken it away from me by their surreptitious means, making me gasp and pine for that. O Lord, have mercy on me. Others seem to think that I am inefficient and I lack knowledge or wisdom. I am at a loss for words to express my feelings or worries. What wrong have I done? Why such delays? I am pained at heart. O Lord, let there be no more delay. I keep pondering on what I can do to overcome the delay or what I could do to make my ends meet. I seek the way to live with peace. Help me to place my burden on You. The Bible says, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22). It is also written. “For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:9). You have borne all those curses which work against me on the cross of Calvary “having become a curse for us” (Gal. 3:13). So why this state of despondency? O Lord! Then, why this plight? All those who were with me and those who were junior to me have had promotions. O Lord, I trust in You alone and keep waiting. O Lord, once have mercy on me and make me have this promotion. You are the One who raises my head. You know how I have lost my peace because of this. I wait for Your good word to be fulfilled. Be gracious unto me. Have mercy on me and help me. As You would do that, I thank You. Continue to guide me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, O Father. Amen.
