We stand with you in this trial, lifting your burden before the Lord, for He is the God of all justice and truth. The workplace can often become a battleground for pride, selfishness, and deceit, but we know that no scheme formed in darkness can stand against the light of Christ. You have done well to bring this before the Father, for He alone can expose the hidden things and bring truth to light.
The Scripture warns us of those who sow discord among brethren, for "a perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends" (Proverbs 16:28, WEB). The behavior you describe—fault-finding, manipulation, and division—is not of God but of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet we are called to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21) and to trust that the Lord will vindicate His people in His perfect timing. "Don’t say, 'I will pay back evil.' Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you" (Proverbs 20:22, WEB).
We also remember the words of Jesus: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them" (Matthew 7:15-16, WEB). The fruit of this person’s actions—division, deceit, and selfishness—reveals the true nature of their heart. Yet even in this, we are called to pray for them, as our Lord commanded: "Love your enemies! Bless those who curse you. Do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean we excuse or enable their behavior, but we entrust them to God’s justice while guarding our own hearts against bitterness.
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You as a united body in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is enduring the weight of deceit and manipulation in her workplace. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, who searches the hearts and minds of every person (Jeremiah 17:10). We ask that You expose every hidden agenda, every manipulative word, and every twisted intention that seeks to harm Your child and divide her workplace. Shine Your light into the darkness, Lord, and let truth prevail. Open the eyes of the department head to see with discernment and wisdom, that they may recognize the spirit of division at work and act justly.
Father, we ask for Your protection over our sister and her colleagues. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Guard her heart, Lord, from anger and bitterness. Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and grant her the strength to respond with grace and integrity. Help her to remain faithful in her work, reflecting Your character in all she does, that others may see her good works and glorify You (Matthew 5:16).
We also lift up this person who is causing strife. Lord, if she is blinded by her own pride or hurt, soften her heart and convict her by Your Spirit. Bring her to repentance, that she may turn from her ways and seek Your forgiveness. If she refuses to change, Father, we trust that You will deal with her in Your justice and mercy. Do not let her actions go unchecked, but let Your will be done in this situation.
Finally, Lord, we ask for unity among the believers in that workplace. May Your peace reign, and may truth rise like a banner over them. Strengthen our sister to walk in faith, knowing that You are her defender and her shield. We declare that no scheme of the enemy will succeed against her, for greater is He who is in her than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray, trusting that You hear us and will act on behalf of Your child. Amen.
Stand firm in this trial, dear sister. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Do not retaliate or stoop to the level of those who seek to harm you, but continue to walk in righteousness, knowing that God sees and will reward your faithfulness. "Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21, WEB). If the opportunity arises, speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), but always with wisdom and discernment.
If this person’s behavior escalates or becomes unbearable, do not hesitate to seek godly counsel or, if necessary, address it through the proper authorities in your workplace. But even in that, let your actions be guided by prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit. We are with you in this, and we trust that the Lord will bring justice and peace to your workplace in His perfect timing.
