Beloved of All
I read ###'s response to my post about the impact of major life decisions and whether or not it was in haste.
That is an excellent point to consider. In terms of leaving the employers, I felt pushed out. No matter how hard I tried, they did not want me to stay. I was mocked, bullied and I felt like it was slowly destroying me from the inside. Having a group of people including higher management conspiring against you and making it impossible to work, calls for a decision. I prayed for those people, prayed that the situation would improve, but it only got worse.
I really could not focus on finding other employment while working in that environment, especially when there was no consideration for me when I was a primary caretaker to my sick relative. Even then they were trying to push me out of the job. After nearly ### years of being a dedicated loyal worker and longsuffering,
I am now still recovering from its evil. I am now using this time to recover. Some people say that I am unwise for not having another job lined up but they did not go through the ordeal that I went through. It was so egregious and they attacked me physically, verbally and emotionally. I reached out to several people in the organization who I thought could help me and they said that I didn't have a case. I felt powerless. Now I have financial woes, I'm not shocked by it, it's a consequence of not having income.
I feel foolish at times, but then I feel like I deserve BETTER for myself. Father in Jesus name, you saw and heard everything that happened to me. I'm still broken by it all. Father in Jesus name help me.
 
We hear the deep pain and betrayal in your words, and we grieve with you over the injustice and cruelty you endured. The Lord sees every tear you have shed, every wound inflicted upon you, and every prayer you lifted up in that dark season. You are not foolish for walking away from an environment that was destroying your spirit—sometimes, the most courageous act of wisdom is to remove yourself from toxicity, even when the path forward is unclear. The Bible reminds us that *"a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace"* (Ecclesiastes 3:7-8, WEB). There is a time to fight, and there is a time to retreat for the sake of your soul. You did not act in haste; you acted in survival after exhausting every godly effort to reconcile and endure.

The enemy intended this for your harm, but God can turn it for your good (Genesis 50:20). Your season of recovery is not wasted—it is sacred. Jesus Himself often withdrew to solitary places to recover and seek the Father’s face (Luke 5:16). You are not lazy or unwise for needing this time; you are stewarding your heart before the Lord, and that is wisdom. The financial strain is real, but remember: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). This does not mean the provision will come instantly or in the way you expect, but it *will* come as you seek Him first (Matthew 6:33). Trust that He is preparing something better for you than what was stolen from you.

As for those who question your decision, their words may sting, but they do not carry the weight of God’s truth. *"Do not be afraid of the reproach of men, nor be troubled by their revilings"* (Isaiah 51:7, WEB). The Lord is your vindicator, and He will repay those who afflicted you (Romans 12:19). Your worth is not tied to their approval or your employment status—it is anchored in Christ, who calls you *"chosen, royal, holy, a peculiar treasure"* (1 Peter 2:9). You *do* deserve better because you are His, and He delights in giving good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11).

Now, let us address the lingering wounds. Bitterness and unforgiveness can take root if we do not surrender this pain to Jesus. He was mocked, betrayed, and physically abused—He understands your suffering more deeply than any human ever could. Yet from the cross, He prayed, *"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do"* (Luke 23:34, WEB). This is not to excuse their sin but to free *you* from the chains of resentment. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was acceptable; it means you release them to God’s justice so you can walk in peace. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you forgive—not for their sake, but for yours. *"Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, and do not give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB).

Lastly, we want to speak life over your next steps. You are not directionless; you are being *repositioned*. Joseph was sold into slavery and imprisoned unjustly, yet God used it to elevate him to a place of authority (Genesis 50:20). Esther was an orphan in a foreign land, yet God placed her in the palace *"for such a time as this"* (Esther 4:14). Your story is not over. Use this time to:
1. **Draw near to God**—Let this be a season of deep intimacy with Him. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB).
2. **Prepare for the new**—Update your skills, seek counsel, and pray over open doors. *"The heart of man plans his course, but Yahweh establishes his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB).
3. **Testify of His faithfulness**—Even now, begin thanking God for the provision and restoration that is coming. *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you"* (1 Thessalonians 5:18, WEB).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your beloved child before You, a warrior who has endured the fires of affliction. Lord, You saw every mocking word, every betrayal, every tear shed in secret. You collected each one in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8), and You are not silent. We ask for Your healing balm to cover every wound—emotional, spiritual, and physical. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Father, we rebuke the spirit of shame that whispers "foolish" or "unwise." Replace it with Your truth: that You are redeeming this story for Your glory.

Lord, provide supernaturally during this financial strain. Open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Give divine connections, favor in unexpected places, and wisdom to steward resources well. We pray against anxiety and fear, declaring Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen this dear one to forgive as You have forgiven, releasing the weight of bitterness into Your hands.

Holy Spirit, guide each step forward. Reveal the path of life (Psalm 16:11) and align every decision with Your will. Raise up godly counsel and community to surround this precious soul. Let this season of recovery be a testimony of Your faithfulness, that others may see and know You are a God who hears, who acts, and who restores.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Advocate and Healer, we pray. Amen.
 
I'm truly sorry for what you've gone through, and I'm here for you. We've all been there, feeling pushed out, mocked, and bullied. It's not fair, and it's not right. But remember, God sees everything, and He's got your back. You did what you had to do, and that's okay. It's like the Bible says, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens" (Ecclesiastes 3:1). You were in survival mode, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Now, it's time to focus on you. You've been through a lot, and it's okay to take time to heal and recover. Jesus even took time for Himself to rest and pray. It's not laziness or unwise; it's self-care. And God will provide for you, just like He promises in Philippians 4:19. It might not be instant or how you expect, but it will come.

Those who question your decision, well, their words might sting, but they don't define your worth. You're chosen, royal, holy, and a peculiar treasure (1 Peter 2:9). You deserve better, and God will give it to you. He delights in giving good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11).

As for the lingering wounds, bitterness and unforgiveness can hold you back. But Jesus understands your pain more than anyone. He was mocked, betrayed, and abused, yet He forgave from the cross. Forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened, but releasing them to God's justice so you can walk in peace.

Lastly, your story isn't over. This is a time to draw near to God, prepare for the new, and testify of His faithfulness. Even now, start thanking Him for the provision and restoration that's coming.

Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear sister before You. You see her tears, her pain, her struggles. Lord, heal her wounds, restore what's been lost, and replace shame with Your truth. Provide for her needs, give her peace, and strengthen her to forgive. Guide her steps, raise up godly counsel, and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

May Jesus blanket you with His love and peace. May you find the perfect job Jesus has waiting for you now, something you will love.
Focus on that now. God will take care of the evil ones.
I know you are really hurting by all of that mess, but now it’s time to renew your mind. Keep praying for peace and reading the Bible. Tell Jesus you are ready for His plan now. Google every verse about peace and strength and read them over and over.
God will be right there with you. Keep thanking Him for this time with Him now.
Leave the past in the past. Don’t drag it around with you.
God bless you with love, peace, strength, and courage. In Jesus name amen.
 
I prayed that God in Jesus' name will answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. Thank You Jesus!!!
