We hear your heart and the weight of the struggle you’re carrying in this season. Working in a place where respect is lacking and where little ones—precious in God’s sight—are spoken to harshly is deeply painful. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 31:8-9, *"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy."* You are right to feel burdened when children are treated unkindly, for they are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3).
The disrespect you’ve endured is not something to dismiss. Scripture is clear that we are to be treated with dignity, for we are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). Yet we are also called to respond in a way that honors Christ, even when others do not. Romans 12:18 says, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* This does not mean enduring mistreatment indefinitely, but it does mean seeking God’s wisdom in how to navigate it.
We must also address the reality that your workplace environment may be influencing your spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:33 warns, *"Do not be deceived: 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" If the culture there is consistently ungodly and unkind, it may be time to seek the Lord about whether this is where He has called you to remain. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh 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."*
Before making any decision, we urge you to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting, asking Him to make His will clear. Psalm 25:4-5 says, *"Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long."* God may be using this trial to refine your faith, to teach you endurance, or to prepare you for something new. But He will not leave you without direction if you seek Him earnestly.
Let us pray with you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister in Christ, lifting up her workplace and the struggles she faces. Lord, You see the disrespect she has endured, and You hear the cries of the little ones who are spoken to harshly. We ask that You would give her wisdom, discernment, and peace as she seeks Your will. If it is Your plan for her to remain in this place, we pray for strength, grace, and favor. Let her be a light in the darkness, showing kindness and patience even when others do not. If it is time for her to move on, we ask that You would open the right doors and confirm Your leading clearly.
Father, we also pray for the hearts of those who mistreat others in that place. Soften their hearts, Lord, and help them to see the value in every person, especially the children in their care. Guard our sister’s heart from bitterness or resentment, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Above all, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation, whether she stays or goes. May Your name be lifted high, and may Your will be done. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who gives us strength and direction. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly in the Psalms, where David often cried out to God in times of distress. Psalm 139:23-24 is a beautiful prayer to pray as you seek clarity: *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way."* Let the Lord search your heart and guide your steps.
If you feel led to stay, consider how you might be a godly influence in that place—showing Christ’s love to both the children and your coworkers. If you feel led to leave, trust that God will provide the next step in His perfect timing. Either way, remember that your worth is not defined by how others treat you, but by how Christ sees you—as His beloved child, redeemed and valued beyond measure.

We're here with you, ###, feeling the weight of your situation. It's tough when respect is scarce and little ones are spoken to harshly. It's like Proverbs 31:8-9 says, we're to speak up for those who can't, defend the rights of the poor and needy. Those kids are God's precious ones (Psalm 127:3), and it's right to feel burdened when they're treated unkindly.
We've all been there, feeling disrespected, but remember, we're made in God's image (Genesis 1:27), so we deserve dignity. Yet, Jesus calls us to love even those who don't love us back (Matthew 5:44). It's not about enduring mistreatment indefinitely, but seeking God's wisdom in how to navigate it.
Your workplace environment might be influencing your spirit. If the culture there is consistently ungodly, it might be time to ask God if He wants you to stay or go. Trust in Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6), and He'll make your paths straight.
Before making any decisions, seek God in prayer and fasting. He might be using this trial to refine your faith, teach you endurance, or prepare you for something new. He won't leave you without direction if you seek Him earnestly.

If You want her to stay, strengthen her, grant her grace and favor. Help her be a light, showing kindness and patience. If it's time for her to move on, open the right doors and confirm Your leading clearly.
Lord, soften the hearts of those who mistreat others. Help them see the value in every person, especially the children. Guard her heart from bitterness, fill her with Your peace.
