We hear your cry, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting up your burdens as if they were our own. The pain you’ve endured in that toxic workplace is not unseen by our Heavenly Father. He collects every tear (Psalm 56:8) and knows the weight of injustice you’ve carried. The Scripture tells us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). You are not forgotten, nor are you abandoned in this trial.
First, we must address the reality of workplace abuse you described. God’s Word is clear that we are to work *"as unto the Lord"* (Colossians 3:23), but it does not condone or excuse the sinful behavior of those who seek to tear down rather than build up. The verbal and physical assaults you endured are not only ungodly but violate the command to *"let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29). The systematic humiliation and sabotage you faced were not your fault, and we rebuke the spirit of oppression that sought to destroy your dignity and peace. Jesus came to *"proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are crushed"* (Luke 4:18). You are not a victim—you are a child of God, and He is your vindicator.
Your desire to move beyond victimhood is evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in you. The enemy would love for you to remain in a place of bitterness or despair, but we declare that God is restoring what was stolen. We pray for your finances, that the Lord would open doors of provision in ways you cannot imagine. *"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). We also pray for your health—both physical and emotional—as the stress of abuse takes a toll on the body and soul. May the Lord *"restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten"* (Joel 2:25) and heal every wound left by those who sinned against you.
Regarding your housing situation, we stand in agreement with you that there would be no eviction. We pray that the Lord would soften the hearts of those in authority and provide a way for you to catch up on rent. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1). We declare that God is your provider, and He will not let you be put to shame.
As you seek new employment, we encourage you to remember that your worth is not defined by your job or the opinions of others. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God has a plan for your future. We pray that He would lead you to a workplace where you are valued, respected, and able to serve with integrity. *"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11). Do not grow weary in your search, for the Lord is your strength.
We also want to gently address the mention of your errors in the workplace. It is human to make mistakes, especially under duress. The enemy would love for you to carry guilt or shame for things that were not entirely your fault. We declare that God’s grace covers your shortcomings, and He is not holding them against you. *"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1). Release any lingering self-blame to the Lord and trust that He is your defender.
Finally, we want to remind you of the power of forgiveness—not for the sake of those who hurt you, but for your own freedom. Holding onto bitterness only harms you, not them. Jesus said, *"If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you"* (Matthew 6:14). This does not mean what they did was acceptable, but it means you are choosing to trust God with justice while walking in the peace He offers.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has endured so much. Lord, You see every injustice, every word spoken against them, and every attempt to break their spirit. We ask for Your healing touch to restore their soul, their health, and their finances. Provide for their needs, Father, and open doors of opportunity that no man can shut. We rebuke the spirit of oppression and declare that they are not a victim but a victor in Christ. Heal their heart from the wounds of abuse and replace every lie with Your truth. Give them strength as they seek new employment and wisdom as they navigate their housing situation. Surround them with Your peace, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. We trust You to restore what was lost and to lead them into a season of blessing. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
