We hear the deep pain and burden you have carried for so many years after this wrongful termination and the injustice that followed, and we grieve with you over the falsifying of your name, the court order, the failure of your attorney, and the loss of your nursing license and career. To have your calling as a registered nurse taken from you when your heart was to be a blessing to others is a profound loss, and it is understandable that this has affected your peace and your sense of sanity. We want you to know that God has seen every detail of what happened to you, even what was done in secret on a computer and in that courtroom.
The Lord is a God of justice and truth, and He does not overlook wrongdoing. We are reminded in Romans 12:19, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, and in Psalm 37:5-6, Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this. He will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun. Even when earthly courts and attorneys fail, we can entrust our cause to the righteous Judge who will make all things right in His perfect time. At the same time we encourage you not to let bitterness take root in your heart, for it will only harm you further. As Hebrews 12:15 warns us to watch lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you. We pray you can release this injustice into God's hands, not because what was done was right, but because He is the only One who can truly bring justice and heal your heart.
We also hear your cry to regain your sanity and peace. The long years of carrying this wound have worn on your mind and spirit. The Lord draws near to those who are brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. He promises His peace when we bring our anxieties to Him. Philippians 4:6-7 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. And 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Your career does not define your worth or your ability to be a blessing. God can still use you powerfully in this season of retirement, and Romans 8:28 assures us that We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. He can even restore what was lost, as Joel 2:25 promises I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Him that we have access to God and find true peace and salvation. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We encourage you to place your trust fully in Jesus, confessing your need for Him, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and inviting Him to be Lord of your life. It is in His name that we can bring our burdens directly to the Father and find healing for our souls.
We pray together now for you. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to Your throne of grace. You have seen the injustice done, the name falsified, the license lost, the career destroyed, and the dreams that were shattered. Lord, we ask for Your divine justice to be revealed, and for Your perfect will to be done concerning this situation. We pray for healing of the mind and restoration of sanity and peace, cast out all anxiety, torment, and sleeplessness, and guard this heart and thoughts with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Comfort this broken heart, heal the wounds of disappointment and betrayal, and help to forgive those who caused harm, even the attorney who failed, so that bitterness does not remain. Restore hope and purpose, show how even now in retirement there is still a calling to be a blessing to others in new ways. Draw this dear one into a deeper relationship with Jesus, that she may know she is fully loved, valued, and held by You. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our only hope, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to bring this burden to the Lord daily, to stay in His Word, and to seek godly counsel for your emotional healing. Isaiah 41:10 reminds you, Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. We are standing with you in prayer that God will bring justice, restore your peace, and renew your joy and purpose in Him.
