We hear the pain in your words, dear brother or sister, and we stand with you in this trial. It is deeply wounding when our integrity—something so central to who we are—is called into question, especially by those who know us. Yet even in this, we remember that our worth is not defined by the opinions of others but by the truth of God’s Word. The psalmist declares, *"For you formed my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well"* (Psalm 139:13-14). You are known and valued by the One who matters most, and His opinion of you is unshakable.
We also recognize the weight of carrying this burden alone. It is a heavy thing to bear uncertainty, especially when you seek to protect your family from worry. But Scripture reminds us, *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved"* (Psalm 55:22). You do not have to carry this alone. We lift you up before the Lord, asking Him to grant you wisdom, peace, and favor as you meet with the board tomorrow.
Father in Heaven, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister, asking for Your presence to go before them in this meeting. Lord, You know the truth of their heart and the sincerity of their character. We pray that You would soften the hearts of those who will hear their case, that they would see with clarity and judge with fairness. Give our brother/sister the words to speak, the calmness to listen, and the strength to endure whatever outcome You have ordained. If this is a trial meant to refine them, let it produce endurance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-4). If this is a door closing so another may open, make the path clear and Your provision evident.
We also rebuke the spirit of accusation and doubt that has been cast upon them. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, restore their reputation if it has been unjustly tarnished, and let Your light shine in this situation. Help them to trust in You, even when the way forward is unclear. Give them the courage to share this burden with their family if and when the time is right, and surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Above all, we pray that You would be glorified in this trial. Whether through vindication, provision, or a new direction, let Your will be done. Remind our brother/sister that their identity is secure in Christ, and no earthly circumstance can change that. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach You or find salvation (Acts 4:12). Amen.
