“Lord, I feel unappreciated. I work hard and go over and beyond, and my boss doesn't even seem to notice.
Help me to remain confident in my hard work and ability, regardless of the validation that I may or may not receive from others. Help me to trust that if I continue to work hard that you will cause those who are supposed to take notice to see the work that I have done. Let the opinion of others not be the source of my success, but instead trust that you see all I do and will cause me to succeed.”
“Lord, help my boss to shift his focus from my weaknesses to my strengths. Help him to see the qualities I possess that are beneficial to this company. Help me to work on my weaknesses in a way that my boss is able to see my progress and be confident in may ability.
Show me areas where my sregnths can be used more and ways that I can become better in my areas of weakness. May I be confident in you, knowing that I can do anything as long as you are here helping me”.
“Lord, help my boss and me to establish a working relationship of trust. Help him/her to see that I am responsible and able to handle tasks and complete assignments on my own.
Give them confidence in my ability to do my job and to follow direction. Show me ways that I can help to establish trust and confidence with my boss. Reveal to me how I can give assure that I can do my job.
Help my boss to deal with any pressure or insecurity that he/she may be receiving from his/her own boss that is causing the micromanagement of others.”
“Lord, there is a toxic coworker at my workplace who is sowing discord and strife amongst other workers. Their actions are harmful and are affecting the team negatively.
Open the eyes of this individual so that they may see the harm in their own ways. I ask that forgiveness may be in the hearts of those who have been hurt by this person's actions.
If need be, help us to address this issue with professionalism to find peace at work. I ask that unity may be among us once again and that we begin to treat each other respectfully.”
Dear God of all,
I come to you today lifting up my boss or supervisor to you. I pray that you will develop in him/her all of the skills and qualities needed to lead our work team well.
I pray that he/she will have the leadership skills of Moses, the bravery and vision of David, the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job and the perseverance of Paul. I pray that he/she will ask for and receive good advice as it says in Proverbs: “A wise man listens to advice.” (Proverbs 12:15 NIV) and “Many advisors make victory sure.” (Proverbs 11:14 NIV)
Grant my boss or supervisor a good understanding of the problems and fixes for our workplace and business issues. Give them a good view of the overall picture and a solid business plan for the present and future.
May my boss or supervisor value the hard work and efforts of the work team. Help him/her see the strengths of each worker and help them to encourage the development of new skills in areas where each worker may need help.
Grant a workplace characterized by respect and cooperation. May my boss or supervisor take a leading role in recognizing and appreciating the efforts of each member of the work team as they acknowledge jobs well done.
May my boss or supervisor be filled with honesty, fairness, discernment, kindness and good humor. May he/she be a good listener who has an open door to the work team, making themselves available to hear out concerns from the work team and support the employees.
Give them wisdom and discernment when dealing with conflicts between work team members. Help them hear out both sides and find workable solutions that will help improve the efficiency and atmosphere of the workplace.
Strengthen and help my boss or supervisor during times of stress. Grant them a good life balance in their work, family and faith. Teach them the value of delegating well, save them from micromanaging and show them when to roll up their sleeves and pitch in when the work load demands it.
Help me as a member of the work team to do my best at the tasks assigned me. Show me how to adapt to my boss's management style so that we might work well together for the sake of our company, our mission and our livelihoods. May you grant us success in all that we put our hands to do together.
Although I work under my boss or supervisor, help me to live out what it says in the Bible: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” (Colossians 3: 23,24 NIV)
Amen
Lord, I pray for my boss
Give him the courage to do Your will.
Deliver him from all selfish considerations
Lift him above the claims of pettiness
Save him from persons
Who could lead this company to ruin.
Strengthen his supervisors in prayer
Cleanse every ignoble thought
Bless him with Christian values
Guide all his decisions and efforts.
Bless this company
And all those who work for its common good.
Help us to grow and nurture each other,
So that we may continue to share and benefit
From the fruits of our labor.
Amen.

My boss is unjust and not a good person.
Dear God: I know that everything happens for a reason. While I'm going through this difficult season I know that it is just that - a season. I know that you are preparing me for my destiny and calling here on earth.
Dear God: Please allow me to remain unaffected.
Dear God: Please don't allow the negative condemning words spoken over me and about me by my boss to take root within my mind and spirit.
Dear God: Help me to keep you first in my life. Let me mind stay focused on you. From the time I rise up in the morning until the time I go to bed at night.
Dear God: Keep me focused on you.
Dear God: As the enemy uses this bad boss to defeat me let your glory be shown within my responses and interactions.
Dear God: Let them kingdom be magnified and the enemy be defeated.
I thank you God for your love and protection.
I thank you for ordering my steps and taking me to the next level.
I thank you for this and so much more.
Glory hallelujah and all praises be unto you. In your mighty son Jesus name I honor and praise you from now and forever more. Amen
