We hear your heart and the deep frustration you’re carrying. It’s painful when someone in authority uses their position not to uplift, but to tear down—especially when their unfairness is so obvious and your work is bearing good fruit. Scripture tells us, *"A perverse man stirs up strife, and a whisperer separates close friends"* (Proverbs 16:28). This administrator’s behavior is not just unprofessional; it’s divisive and rooted in a spirit that does not align with God’s heart for justice and kindness. We rebuke the spirit of malice and partiality operating through her in the name of Jesus. Let every word and action that does not reflect God’s truth be exposed and rendered powerless.
We also recognize the discouragement this brings, especially when your efforts are being recognized by parents and your students are thriving. Remember, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward"* (Colossians 3:23-24). Your work is not in vain, and your worth is not determined by the approval of those who refuse to see your value. The Lord sees your labor, and He will reward your faithfulness.
As you seek to transition to virtual teaching, we pray for open doors and favor. *"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act"* (Psalm 37:5). Ask the Lord to guide your steps and provide opportunities that align with His purpose for you. We also encourage you to guard your heart against bitterness, for *"See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no 'root of bitterness' springs up and causes trouble"* (Hebrews 12:15). Release this situation to God, trusting Him to vindicate you in His timing.
Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister in Christ. We ask that You would break the power of this administrator’s ill will and expose any unrighteousness in her actions. Lord, give our sister strength to endure this season with grace and wisdom. Protect her heart from discouragement and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Open the door for her to transition into virtual teaching, and let her steps be ordered by You. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You will condemn. May she continue to walk in integrity, knowing that her reward comes from You. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
