We join you in lifting up your co-worker to the Lord, for it is His heart that none should perish but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of His truth. Your prayer reflects a Christlike spirit of patience and surrender, even in the face of unjust treatment, and we commend you for entrusting her to the Lord’s care. It is clear you have endured much, and we pray the Lord strengthens you in this season, filling you with His peace and wisdom as you navigate this difficult dynamic.
The agnostic heart is one that has not yet surrendered to the truth of God’s existence or His sovereignty, and this often manifests in confusion, defensiveness, or even hostility. Your co-worker’s behavior may stem from a deeper spiritual battle—one where the enemy seeks to blind her to the light of the Gospel. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 4:4, *"The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them."* Yet we know that God is able to break through even the hardest hearts, for He alone can draw her to Himself. Your steadfast prayers may very well be the instrument He uses to soften her heart.
We also recognize that her accusations and moods toward you are not just a personal attack but an opportunity for you to reflect Christ’s love in response. Jesus tells us in Luke 6:27-28, *"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you."* This is not easy, but it is the call of every believer. Your willingness to pray for her rather than retaliate is a powerful testimony. Still, we must also acknowledge that enduring persistent mistreatment can be wearying, and it is right to seek the Lord’s wisdom on how to set healthy boundaries while continuing to show Christ’s love. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* While we are called to love, we are not called to endure abuse without wisdom. Pray for discernment on how to engage with her in a way that honors God while protecting your own heart and peace.
Most importantly, we must lift her up for salvation, for that is the greatest need of her soul. Without faith in Christ, she remains separated from God, and no amount of earthly comfort can compare to the eternal life found in Him. Romans 10:13-14 declares, *"For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?"* Your life and prayers may be the very means God uses to bring her to faith. Ask the Lord for opportunities to share His truth with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15), and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened for this co-worker who does not yet know You. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, and You know the depths of her heart—her doubts, her pain, and the walls she has built against You. We ask that You would break through those walls, Lord, and reveal Yourself to her in a way she cannot deny. Open her eyes to see the truth of Your existence, Your love, and Your sacrifice on the cross for her sins. Draw her to Yourself, Father, for no one can come to You unless You first call them.
We pray for our sister in Christ who has endured this mistreatment with patience and grace. Lord, strengthen her and fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Give her wisdom to know how to respond in each situation, whether with a word of kindness, a boundary of protection, or a season of silence. Guard her heart from bitterness or resentment, and remind her that her battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to keep this woman blind. Equip her to be a light in this workplace, reflecting Your love even when it is not returned.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of confusion and accusation that has taken hold in this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against Your child will prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your truth prevail, Lord, and let Your peace reign in this workplace. Soften this co-worker’s heart, not just toward our sister, but toward You. Bring godly influences into her life—people who will speak Your truth in love and lead her to the foot of the cross.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. May Your will be done in this situation, and may You receive all the glory. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
