“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” – Proverbs 16:3
In our walk with God, we often find that our professional lives are just as much a domain for His miracles as our personal lives. Today, we share the uplifting journey of Shiaka, whose faith and prayer transcended ordinary challenges, paving the way for not just personal health but also professional advancement in Sierra Leone.
The Prayer Request
Shiaka’s initial request was a heartfelt plea for divine assistance in overcoming two significant hurdles:
The request is two-fold.
The international organisation I am working with is planning to open up a country office in Sierra Leone but is facing internal challenges due to financial constraints and personality issues. My prayers are:
1. That the challenges to opening the office will be overcome and the organisation will find favor to win 2 major contracts for Sierra Leone.
2. Favour for me to be in good health and head the country Office.
The Testimony of Partial Victory
In a stirring update from Freetown, Shiaka reports remarkable progress:
“Dear Prayer Prompt Partner, Good morning from Freetown, Sierra Leone. In April, I made a threefold prayer request. To the glory of God, I write to inform you that God has given answers to two parts of the request. The Country Office will be opened by October. There has been a resolution of the internal issues. Thank God, I have been walking in good health. I am still praying that God will help us win the major contracts so that the office will be sustainable. May God bless you and your team.”
This testimony not only celebrates the overcoming of internal issues and Shiaka’s health but also keeps alive the hope for securing the needed contracts to ensure the office’s future.

FAQ
How do I pray for professional breakthrough at work?
Start by committing your work plans to God, as Proverbs 16:3 teaches. Be specific in your prayers about the challenges you face, whether internal conflicts, financial obstacles, or health concerns. Pray with faith that God cares about your career as much as your personal life, and trust Him to work through both direct answers and unexpected doors He opens.
Can God help with workplace problems and conflicts?
Yes. Shiaka experienced God resolving internal organizational conflicts that threatened his company's expansion plans. When you face workplace tension, pray for wisdom, reconciliation, and favor among leadership. God is interested in your professional environment and can shift circumstances, change hearts, and create solutions that seem impossible from a human perspective.
What should I do when only part of my prayer is answered?
Continue in faith and gratitude. Shiaka celebrated that the office would open and his health was restored, while still praying for the final piece, securing major contracts. Acknowledge God's victories, thank Him for progress, and keep interceding for what remains. Partial answers strengthen your faith for complete fulfillment.
How do I balance faith and hard work for career success?
Prayer isn't passive, it partners with your effort. Shiaka prayed while his organization worked through challenges and pursued contracts. Commit your work to God through prayer, then work diligently in your role. Let your faith fuel your dedication, knowing that God establishes plans when you invite Him into them.
