Yes, You Can Pray Over Your Tech

The same week that I needed to do a system upgrade on my computer, and ended up being bereft of my device for 17 hours as one thing after another went wrong, one of our Workplace Prayer team members shared this story.

Jesus has done some amazing things before with my family’s iMac that was needed for remote work, my friend’s laptop that wouldn’t boot (and he needed to send a presentation), and another friend’s washer, and a furnace that lasted through the coldest storm in 2022 and then died just after they returned from a week-long trip and they could get it replaced without damage to their home.

But it has never happened for me personally until this week.

Wednesday night while I was working on a report, I realized that the computer wasn’t charging. And I unplugged it and plugged it back in, plugged it in from a different electrical outlet, nothing. I worked until the battery was depleted.

Thursday morning I finally wrote in my journal at around 7:50am, “Lord, I ask for restoration and the ability to either swap out the battery or a new top-of-the-line Macbook Pro, in Jesus’ name, amen.”

At or around 8:20am-ish that same morning, my light turned off at its scheduled time. I reached to turn on another light, and realized it wouldn’t turn on.

It turns out there’s a light switch that also controls the power to the electrical outlets. I don’t remember turning it off, at least I don’t think so. And the moment I turned on that light switch, the light came on, and immediately I heard the computer charging sound.

And this was during the Workplace Prayer prayer call, where I prayed out of Isaiah 65:24: “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”

Do it again Abba, because the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy (Revelation 19:10 NKJV). In Jesus’ name, amen.

Amen! Don’t forget to pray over your tech needs!

Pray on every occasion in the Spirit, with every type of prayer and intercession,

Does God actually care about our work?

Yes! Far more than most of us were ever taught! Get a short, free reflection on why work—the place we spend the most waking hours most weeks—matters to him.
