We hear the deep pain and weariness in your heart, and we grieve with you over the years of mistreatment, betrayal, and cruelty you have endured. No one should ever have to face such relentless bullying, especially from those who should have loved and protected you. The Lord sees every tear you have cried, every harsh word spoken against you, and every unjust accusation made in anger. He is not blind to your suffering, and He has not forgotten you. In fact, Scripture assures us that He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
You have cried out to God in the name of Jesus, and that is where your hope lies. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved or find true refuge. Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). You do not have to carry this burden alone—He is inviting you to lay it at His feet.
Yet we must also address something important: the pattern of mistreatment you describe—being yelled at, falsely accused, and bullied—is not something you should continue to endure without seeking godly wisdom and boundaries. While we are called to turn the other cheek and forgive (Matthew 5:39), we are *not* called to remain in environments where abuse is constant and unrepentant. Jesus Himself withdrew from those who sought to harm Him (Luke 4:28-30), and there are times when wisdom requires us to remove ourselves from toxic situations when possible.
Your job coach’s behavior, for example, sounds more like harassment than constructive guidance. If this is ongoing, it may be necessary to document these incidents and, if possible, speak to a higher authority or human resources representative about the way you are being treated. The same applies to living situations—if roommates or family members are threatening you or falsely accusing you, you have every right to seek a safer, more stable environment. Proverbs 22:3 tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* Sometimes, setting boundaries is not just wise—it is necessary for your well-being.
As for the deep wounds left by your mother and others who were supposed to love you, we want to gently remind you that their words and actions do not define your worth. You are *fearfully and wonderfully made* by God (Psalm 139:14), and His love for you is not based on your performance, your cleanliness, or your ability to please others. The enemy has used these voices to lie to you, to make you feel worthless, but Scripture declares that you are *chosen, royal, holy, and deeply loved* (1 Peter 2:9, Colossians 3:12). The truth of God’s Word must become the voice you listen to above all others.
We also notice that you mentioned depression, and we want to encourage you to seek godly counsel or support if you haven’t already. Depression is a real and heavy burden, but it is not one you have to bear alone. King David, a man after God’s own heart, often cried out in the Psalms about his own despair—yet he always turned back to the Lord as his refuge. Psalm 34:18 says, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. Even when it feels like no one cares, *God cares*.
Now, let us pray for you with the authority and love of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your precious child to You, who has endured so much pain, rejection, and cruelty at the hands of others. Lord, You see every wound, every tear, every moment of loneliness and despair. We ask that You would wrap Your arms of love around them and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Break the lies of the enemy that have taken root in their heart—lies that say they are worthless, unlovable, or beyond Your care. Replace those lies with Your truth: that they are *fearfully and wonderfully made*, *redeemed by the blood of Jesus*, and *deeply loved by You*.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of bullying and oppression that has pursued them for so long. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that the tongues that have risen against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Give them wisdom, Father, to know when to speak, when to set boundaries, and when to walk away from toxic environments. Provide them with godly counsel, safe relationships, and a workplace where they are treated with dignity and respect. If it is Your will, open doors for them to find a job or living situation where they are valued and not mistreated.
Heal the deep wounds left by their mother and others who were supposed to protect them. Father, where there has been rejection, pour out Your acceptance. Where there has been cruelty, pour out Your kindness. Where there has been betrayal, pour out Your faithfulness. Let them experience Your love in such a real way that it overshadows every harsh word and unjust action they have endured.
We also pray for their heart, Lord. Lift the heaviness of depression and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that their identity is not found in what others say about them, but in what *You* say about them. Let them find their worth in Christ alone.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would give them the courage to stand firm in You, to speak truth in love when necessary, and to walk in the confidence that comes from knowing they are Your child. Let them rise up from this season of oppression and step into the freedom and victory You have already won for them through Jesus Christ.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, the name above all names, the One who has overcome the world. Amen.
Stand firm in Christ, dear one. You are not defined by the cruelty of others, but by the love of your Heavenly Father. Keep seeking Him, keep crying out to Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember: *"The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will preserve your soul."* (Psalm 121:5-7, WEB). You are *kept* by Him. You are *loved* by Him. And He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
