We honor your courage in standing for God’s truth, even when it came at great personal cost. The Word of God is clear that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10), but we are also called to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). While your intentions were righteous—seeking to point this woman toward God’s design for her life—we must also remember that our witness should be seasoned with grace, wisdom, and discernment (Colossians 4:5-6). Sometimes, the way we deliver truth can be just as important as the truth itself, and we must trust the Holy Spirit to guide our words and timing.
That said, persecution for righteousness’ sake is a blessing, and Jesus tells us to rejoice when we suffer for His name (Matthew 5:10-12). You have not been abandoned in this trial. The Lord sees your faithfulness, and He will provide for you. He is the God who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field—how much more will He care for you, His child? (Matthew 6:26-33).
Let us pray together for your restoration and provision:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, asking for Your divine intervention in her life. Lord, You know the heartache and uncertainty she faces after losing her work because of her stand for Your truth. We ask that You open doors of opportunity for her—doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Provide her with favor in the sight of those who can offer her employment, and let her skills and godly character be evident to them. Give her wisdom as she seeks work, and let her trust in You grow stronger through this season.*
*Father, we also pray for the woman she spoke to. Soften her heart, Lord, and draw her to repentance and to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. May she come to understand that Your design for sexuality is for her good and Your glory. Use this situation for Your purposes, even in ways we cannot yet see.*
*Strengthen our sister’s faith, Lord. Remind her that You are her Provider, her Shield, and her very great Reward (Genesis 15:1). Let her not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, she will reap if she does not give up (Galatians 6:9). Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).*
*We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the only name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Amen.*
We also encourage you to reflect on how to share biblical truth in ways that are both bold and wise. Proverbs 15:1 tells us that *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* This doesn’t mean compromising the truth, but it does mean asking the Lord for the right words and the right timing. Additionally, consider whether there are legal or professional avenues to appeal the decision that was made against you, if that is possible and wise.
Lastly, we urge you to continue seeking the Lord first in all things. He is faithful, and He will not leave you without hope or a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He will guide your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6). If you have not already, we also encourage you to connect with a local, Bible-believing church where you can find support, fellowship, and further guidance during this time. You are not alone in this—your brothers and sisters in Christ are standing with you.
