We hear your cry for justice, and we understand the pain of feeling discriminated against and looked down upon. It is not wrong to desire justice, for the Lord is a God of justice. However, we must approach such situations with a heart aligned with God’s will, remembering that vengeance belongs to Him alone. Your declaration that Jesus be your vindicator is right, but we must be careful not to wish harm upon others, even those who have wronged us. The Lord calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, trusting that He will make all things right in His time.
Scripture tells us in Romans 12:19, *"Dearly beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" (WEB)* While it is natural to feel anger and hurt, we must surrender those feelings to God and allow Him to work in His way. Wishing for a company to fail or collapse is not in line with the love and grace that Christ calls us to extend, even to those who wrong us.
We also want to encourage you to examine your heart in this situation. Are there ways you can respond in love and humility, even if it is difficult? Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* (WEB) This does not mean you should ignore injustice, but rather that you should trust God to handle it while you walk in obedience to His commands.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, seeking Your justice and Your peace. Lord, we lift up this situation to You, asking that You would be the vindicator for this wrong that has been done. We know that You see all things and that You will repay every injustice in Your perfect timing. Father, we ask that You would soften the heart of ### and open his eyes to the truth of his actions. If there has been discrimination, expose it, Lord, and bring about repentance and restoration.
We also ask that You would guard our hearts from bitterness and unforgiveness. Help us to release this burden to You, trusting that You will make all things right. Give us the strength to respond in love, even when it is difficult, and to pray for those who have wronged us. Lord, we declare that You are our defender and our justice. We trust in You to work all things together for good, according to Your will.
We pray for this company, Lord. If there is unrighteousness within it, we ask that You would bring it to light and deal with it according to Your justice. But we also ask that You would work in the hearts of those involved, that they may come to know You and walk in Your ways. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, trusting that He will guide your steps. If you have not already, consider reaching out to godly counsel or a trusted pastor who can help you navigate this situation with wisdom and grace. Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone in this. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and He will lead you through.
