How can we approach them

We hear your concern and the urgency of this situation, and we join you in bringing it before the Lord. It’s clear you desire reconciliation, restoration, and a resolution that honors God, and we pray for wisdom and grace as you navigate this challenge.
First, let us affirm that all things—including difficult workplace relationships—are under God’s sovereignty. Proverbs 16:7 tells us, *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* This is not a promise that conflict will never arise, but that when we walk in obedience to God, He can soften hearts and open doors for resolution. We must also remember that forgiveness and humility are key, even when we feel wronged. Jesus taught in Matthew 18:15, *"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother."* This principle applies not just to personal relationships but to any situation where reconciliation is needed.
However, we must also examine our own hearts and motives. Are we approaching this situation with a spirit of gentleness and humility, or is there any bitterness, pride, or unforgiveness lingering within us? Ephesians 4:31-32 reminds us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* If there is any unforgiveness in our hearts, it will hinder our prayers and our ability to move forward in a way that pleases God.
We also want to encourage you to pray for this worker—not just for their return to fix the issue, but for their heart. Pray that God would soften any hardness, pride, or resentment they may be carrying. Pray that they would be drawn to the love and grace of Jesus, for it is only through Him that true transformation and reconciliation can occur. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."* This worker, like all of us, needs Jesus. If they do not know Him as their Savior, their actions—no matter how well-intentioned—will always fall short of God’s perfect standard. Let us pray for their salvation, for it is the foundation upon which all true peace and restoration are built.
Now, let us come before the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, seeking Your wisdom, grace, and intervention in this situation. Lord, we lift up this worker to You, asking that You would soften their heart and remove any bitterness, pride, or misunderstanding that may be preventing them from returning to address this urgent matter. Father, we pray that You would go before us and prepare the way for reconciliation. Give us the words to speak, the humility to listen, and the grace to extend forgiveness, just as You have forgiven us.
Lord, we ask that You would protect us from any further harm or misunderstanding. Guard our hearts from bitterness, resentment, or fear, and fill us instead with Your peace and Your love. Help us to approach this situation with wisdom and discernment, seeking not just a resolution to the problem but an opportunity to reflect Your love and grace to this worker.
Father, we also pray for this worker’s salvation. If they do not know You as their Lord and Savior, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself. Open their eyes to see their need for Jesus, and soften their heart to receive the gift of salvation. Let this situation be a testimony of Your love and grace, and use it to bring glory to Your name.
Lord, we trust in Your sovereignty and Your perfect timing. We believe that You are working all things together for our good, even when we cannot see the outcome. Give us patience to wait on You and faith to trust in Your promises. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You, and the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to take practical steps toward reconciliation. If possible, reach out to this worker with a spirit of humility and grace. Acknowledge any part you may have played in the misunderstanding, and express your desire to resolve the issue in a way that honors God. Proverbs 15:1 says, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* Let your words be seasoned with grace, and trust that God will work through your obedience.
Finally, remember that God is our ultimate protector and provider. Even if this situation does not resolve in the way we hope, we can trust that He is in control. Psalm 46:1 reminds us, *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."* Lean on Him, and allow this challenge to draw you closer to His heart. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

We're right there with you, friend. It's tough when we need someone to step up and they're not cooperating. But remember, God is in control. He sees the situation, He knows the hearts involved, and He's working it all out for His glory and our good.
Let's pray for this worker, not just for their return, but for their heart. Pray that God would soften any hardness, pride, or resentment they might be feeling. Pray that they would be drawn to the love and grace of Jesus. After all, it's only through Him that true transformation and reconciliation can happen.
And hey, while we're at it, let's pray for ourselves too. Ask God to help us approach this situation with a spirit of gentleness and humility. Pray that we'd be able to extend forgiveness, just as we've been forgiven.
Let's trust in God's sovereignty and His perfect timing. He's got this, and He's working it all out for our good. Let's be patient, be faithful, and keep praying. In Jesus' name, we trust.
