Having hope. Trusting the Lord in hard times

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Hello, I left my job due to unjust, vile abusive (physical and verbal) treatment. I thought very carefully about the risks/consequences involved including potential financial devastation, I lifted this situation up to the Lord before leaving. I did not have time to look for another job because of the stress of being constantly abused and sabotaged. I made every effort to resolve the issues with the people involved and those in authority but the workplace Mobbing grew worse because I took a stand against abuse and could not keep up with unreasonable work demands. I worked very hard to represent my department and organization well. All I received in return was insults, false accusations, degradation, humiliation, and isolation. Supervisors would tell me that they didn’t see me complete my work even after they watched me do it. Even when working alone I was made sure that I did my work because I knew that the Lord was watching me. I made errors just like anyone else some were my fault and others were a result of constant exposure to abuse. The volume of work was increased to a point that I could no longer keep up and the managers didn’t want to hear of it and inappropriately touched and harassed me and encouraged coworkers to join in. All odds were stacked against me. Father in the name of Jesus Christ please heal me. I forgive but will not return to that job no matter how difficult my financial situation becomes. I’ve taken steps to address these issues but I can no longer do it alone. I need your help Lord. I know so many hard workers who face the same thing. Please help us Lord.
 
We stand with you in this season of trial, lifting you up before the Lord with hearts full of compassion and faith, knowing that He sees your suffering and will bring justice and restoration. Your story is one of deep injustice, but we also see your courage in standing for what is right, even at great personal cost. The Lord does not overlook the afflictions of His children, nor does He forget the tears you have shed. You did not flee this situation rashly—you sought the Lord, weighed the risks, and acted with integrity when every other door was closed. That is not the mark of failure, but of faith.

The abuse you endured—physical, verbal, and emotional—is an outrage before God. Scripture is clear that the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. *"The Lord also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble."* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). He sees the wickedness of those who harassed, lied, and manipulated, and He will repay. Your decision to leave was not just wise; it was an act of trusting God over the fear of man. You chose to walk away from a corrupt system rather than compromise your dignity or your witness as a believer. That is commendable, and we honor your stand.

Yet we also know this path has left you in financial uncertainty, and the weight of that is heavy. The enemy would love to whisper lies—that you are abandoned, that your obedience has led to ruin, or that you should have endured the abuse longer. But we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus. Your Heavenly Father is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). He has promised to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and He will do it. The same God who fed Elijah by the brook and provided manna in the wilderness is your Provider. He is not limited by economic systems or the cruelty of men.

You mentioned forgiveness, and that is a powerful testament to the work of the Holy Spirit in you. Forgiveness does not mean what was done to you was acceptable—it was evil. But forgiveness releases the poison of bitterness from *your* soul and entrusts justice to God. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). You are free from that burden now, and we pray the Lord continues to heal the wounds left by this season.

As for your financial needs, we declare that the Lord will open doors no man can shut. He may provide through unexpected sources—a new job, a connection, a creative solution you haven’t yet considered. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). We encourage you to seek godly counsel in this time—perhaps through your church or trusted believers who can help you navigate practical steps while waiting on the Lord. If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to Christian job placement ministries or networks that align with your skills. But even as you take steps, remember: your hope is not in a paycheck, but in the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10).

We also lift up the many others suffering under similar oppression in workplaces. Lord, expose the darkness, bring repentance where possible, and deliver the innocent from the hands of the wicked. Raise up advocates and just leaders who will stand against such evil. Let this be a turning point for many who are trapped in cycles of abuse.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who has walked through the fire of injustice and emerged with their faith intact. Lord, You see the scars—both visible and hidden—and we ask for Your healing touch. Restore their strength, renew their mind, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You have not forgotten them.

We thank You that they sought Your face before making this difficult decision. Confirm to their heart that they did not act in haste, but in obedience to Your leading. Father, we ask for Your provision to flood their life. Open doors of opportunity that no man can shut. Provide favor with potential employers, wisdom in financial stewardship, and creative solutions they haven’t yet imagined. Let them testify soon of Your faithfulness in this wilderness season.

Lord, we also pray for justice. You are a God of righteousness, and You will not allow the wicked to triumph forever. Expose the deeds done in darkness, bring conviction where needed, and protect others from suffering as our brother or sister has. Let this situation be redeemed for Your glory—whether through legal recourse, the exposure of corruption, or the salvation of those who perpetrated these evils.

Finally, Father, guard their heart against fear. When the enemy whispers, “What if you never recover?”, let Your Spirit roar back, *“I know the plans that I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future.”* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Remind them that You are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Strengthen their faith to believe that what the enemy meant for harm, You will turn for good (Genesis 50:20).

We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Provider. Amen.

Stay anchored in the Word, dear one. Read the Psalms aloud when discouragement comes. Surround yourself with believers who can speak life over you. And remember: the God who delivered David from Saul, Daniel from the lions, and the Israelites from Pharaoh has not changed. He is with you, and He will bring you through. *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who are crushed in spirit."* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Hold fast to that truth. We are standing with you.
 
We're right there with you, holding your hands up to the Lord. We know the pain of injustice, the sting of false accusations, and the exhaustion of being constantly undermined. But we also see your courage, your integrity, and your unwavering trust in the Lord. You didn't run from this situation recklessly; you sought the Lord, weighed the risks, and acted with integrity when every other door was closed. That's not the mark of failure, but of faith.

We're angry too, at the abuse you've endured - physical, verbal, emotional. It's an outrage before God. But we know He sees it all, and He will repay.
