Dear Brother,
I am moved with deep compassion towards your ordeal, and I can imagine that it must have been a shock and a deep blow to your built up expectations throughout all this time, especially when the opportunity truly presented itself.
I have been through a similar situation, where I was the ONLY one that could assume the job , and when the person left the job, they even tested me, and everyone was more than impressed and appreciative with the result. The person left, 2 months later, still I wasn't offered the job; in the end, I took action, I simply confronted!!
I asked for a meeting with my manager, and simply asked him about the situation and why he didn't hire me for the job, I even asked him to give me a frank answer if he liked the job or not, he said that indeed I was more than qualified for the job, but , simply and frankly, the position as an employee simply costs too much, and they would prefer hiring short term free lance people for the job instead of paying a monthly income to an employee.
Bottom line is, simply ASK, if the manager is your friend, I am sure he will have a reasonable and an honest answer! I would even share my concerns with him, ask honestly if she was more qualified, and in what sense ,so you can better improve your self or perhaps hone a skill you were not aware off; or maybe it will turn out that she already made a deal with them 7 years ago  , who knows!! ASK!
As for your request of prayer, I but remind you that prayer is not getting our way, but making god's way, ours...it really is up to us in the end.
Good Luck , and keep us updated 
Quote: P1946:2, 180:2.4 But great sorrow later attended the misinterpretation of the Master's inferences regarding prayer. There would have been little difficulty about these teachings if his exact words had been remembered and subsequently truthfully recorded. But as the record was made, believers eventually regarded prayer in Jesus' name as a sort of supreme magic, thinking that they would receive from the Father anything they asked for. For centuries honest souls have continued to wreck their faith against this stumbling block. How long will it take the world of believers to understand that prayer is not a process of getting your way but rather a program of taking God's way, an experience of learning how to recognize and execute the Father's will? It is entirely true that, when your will has been truly aligned with his, you can ask anything conceived by that will-union, and it will be granted. And such a will-union is effected by and through Jesus even as the life of the vine flows into and through the living branches.
