We hear the deep anguish in your cry, and we stand with you in this wilderness season, lifting your burdens before the Lord. Your pain is real—the betrayal, the injustice, the exhaustion of laboring in vain—but we declare over you the truth of Scripture: *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not abandoned, though the wilderness may feel desolate. The same God who fed Elijah by the brook (1 Kings 17:4) and led Israel through the desert (Deuteronomy 8:2-4) sees you, knows your suffering, and will sustain you.
The cruelty you endured was not your fault. You honored God by removing yourself from an environment of abuse—*"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB), but this does not mean enduring relentless harm. The Lord detests false scales and deceitful measures (Proverbs 11:1), and He has seen every false accusation, every manipulation. *"Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay"* (Romans 12:19, WEB)—trust Him to expose the truth in His timing. Your diligence was not in vain; *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB), and He will redeem your labor.
Now, as you seek a new path, lean on His promise: *"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you"* (Psalm 32:8, WEB). Pray for divine connections, wisdom in job searches, and favor with potential employers. *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will act"* (Psalm 37:5, WEB). If fear or bitterness threaten to overwhelm you, cast them upon Him—*"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6, WEB).
**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, broken yet trusting in Your faithfulness. You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You have not overlooked their suffering. Lord, be their refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Expose every lie spoken against them and vindicate their name. Open doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:8) for a career that aligns with Your will—one where their gifts are honored and their labor bears fruit. Provide for their housing, finances, and daily needs, reminding them that *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Heal their heart from betrayal, and guard them from resentment. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are working all things for their good (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty name of **Jesus Christ of Nazareth**, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We declare Your protection over their mind, body, and spirit. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and lead them beside still waters (Psalm 23:2). May they testify soon of Your deliverance. **Amen.**
Stand firm, beloved. This trial is not the end of your story. *"Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning"* (Psalm 30:5, WEB). Keep seeking Him first (Matthew 6:33), and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). We are praying with you.
