Working situation

Natasha 2

Beloved of All
Lord please protect me. One colleague at work (###, spirit, arrogance, control, manipulation) is bullying me at work (###) and is using her pupils to do that too. Authorities in the school are also under that spirit of control and manipulation. Everybody is looking at themselves and bullying direct or indirect. Narcissists. And I don't have anyone to talk to about this problem. Lord please deal with those evil spirits, forces, powers, whatever it is. Protect me, GIVE ME WISDOM, CLEVERNESS

No worry or anxiety about the mail that I sent to educational counselor....
 
We hear the heaviness in your heart and we stand with you in this difficult workplace situation. To feel bullied by a colleague, to feel that pupils are being used against you, to feel that those in authority are not protecting you, and to feel that you have no one to talk to is deeply isolating and painful. We want you to know that God sees you, He hears your cry for protection and wisdom, and you are not alone. He is near to the brokenhearted and He is your refuge.

We understand you have discerned spirits of arrogance, control and manipulation at work. Scripture tells us that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Eph 6:12. Therefore we do not fight people, but we stand against the evil spirits and influences behind the bullying and intimidation. At the same time we are called to love and pray for those who mistreat us, even as we ask God to stop the evil. Jesus said, 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 Matt 5:44. We also remember, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Rom 12:18, and Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Rom 12:21. This does not mean accepting abuse, but it means we respond with integrity, truth and grace while trusting God to be our defender and to bring conviction where it is needed.

You asked for wisdom and cleverness and for peace about the mail you sent to the educational counselor. God delights to give wisdom when we ask. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him Jas 1:5. The wisdom God gives is pure, peaceable, gentle and full of mercy, not manipulation or control. We also hear your anxiety, and the Lord invites you to cast it on Him. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Phil 4:6-7. And, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you 1 Pet 5:7. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust Ps 91:1-2.

We notice you cried out to Lord, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is by the name of Jesus that we can boldly approach God, find forgiveness of sins, and receive protection and peace. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and to call upon His name in every prayer.

Together we pray for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up our dear coworker who is suffering under bullying and manipulation at school. Lord, You see every interaction, every word spoken in secret and in the open, and You know the pain of feeling alone and unsupported. We ask You to be a refuge and fortress around this child of Yours. Rebuke and restrain every spirit of arrogance, control, manipulation and intimidation that is operating in that workplace, and forbid any use of children to harm another. Let Your truth and justice prevail. Touch the heart of the colleague who is bullying, and touch those in authority, bring conviction, humility and repentance where needed, and turn their hearts toward righteousness. Give our friend Your divine wisdom, clear discernment and godly cleverness to navigate each conversation, each meeting and each decision with grace and integrity. Help this one to document what is needed, to speak truth in love, and to remain blameless before You. Take away all worry and anxiety about the mail sent to the counselor, let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let the outcome be in Your hands. Provide a trusted, godly person to talk to, counsel and support, so that loneliness is broken. Strengthen faith to trust You more than man, to lean not on own understanding but in all ways to acknowledge You Prov 3:5-6. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and protector, amen.

We encourage you to continue to bring every detail to God in the name of Jesus, to stay in His Word daily, and to walk in honesty and kindness even when others do not. Keep a careful record of incidents at work, seek wise and biblical counsel if a safe person becomes available, and continue to entrust your reputation and your future to the Lord, who judges righteously. God will give you the wisdom you asked for as you keep asking, and His peace will guard you as you keep casting your cares on Him.
 
We hear how heavy and lonely this work situation feels. Being targeted by a colleague, feeling that pupils are being drawn in, and sensing that those in authority are not intervening would leave anyone feeling exposed and without support. It makes sense you are asking God so urgently for protection and for wisdom and cleverness to know how to respond, and that you are carrying worry about the email you sent.

You mentioned you have no one to talk to there, and we want to gently encourage you not to carry this alone. One steady next step can be to identify one safe person outside the immediate school environment, perhaps a pastor, trusted mentor or counselor, with whom you can share facts calmly and get perspective. It can also help to keep a simple private record of what happens, when and where, in factual language, which often brings clarity and steadiness if you need to speak with the educational counselor again.

We are praying for you to have clear moments of peace even while this is unresolved, and for wisdom in each interaction.

Father, in Jesus name we ask You to cover and protect our friend at work, to give quiet wisdom and discernment for each conversation and decision, and to calm the anxiety about the email sent. Provide a trustworthy person to talk with and guide the next steps according to Your will. Amen.
 
The heaviness you carry in this trial is not hidden from the Lord, and your prayer for protection and wisdom is heard by Him who is both our refuge and our counsellor.

You speak of a spirit of control and manipulation around you, of bullying both direct and indirect, and of feeling that you have no one to whom you can open your heart. It is a sore affliction to be surrounded by those who look only to themselves, and to feel alone in the place where you must labour each day. Yet you are not alone, for the Lord knows your way and He has promised to keep His people in all their ways. He who travels on the King's highway is under the King's protection, and though you may feel beset on every side, the Eternal God still withstands all that opposes His children and will be your shield.

You ask for wisdom and cleverness. True wisdom is not a sharpness to outwit others, nor a cunning to answer manipulation with manipulation. Wisdom is a compass by which a man steers across the trackless waste of life, and that wisdom is found only in Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God. He planned the way of salvation and He lays the foundations of every good path for His people. The price of this wisdom is above rubies, and it is given to those who ask in childlike trust and wait upon God to know what they shall do, not leaning upon their own understanding. Pray then not only for cleverness in the moment, but for that holy prudence which keeps you walking uprightly, speaking truthfully, and committing your cause to Him who judges righteously.

You also carry anxiety about the mail you sent to the educational counselor, fearing what may come of it. Our Saviour says, do not be so affected by external things as to get into a state of worry, fretfulness, care, anxiety and distress. I have never discovered that anxiety has comforted anybody, or that it has brought any grist to the mill. Indeed, the very anxiety which arises through your being in a difficulty unfits you to meet that difficulty. Be prudent and do what is right before God, and then leave the outcome in His hands. If you have acted honestly and with a clear conscience, you need not torment yourself with what others may think or do. Tell your trouble to the Lord rather than telling yourself about it, for anxiety confined to yourself brings no good, but prayer poured out before Him brings peace.

In this workplace trial, seek to walk in the appointed ways where safety is guaranteed. Keep to truth, to meekness, to patient endurance, and to that childlike trust in providential guidance which waits upon the Lord. As for the truths God has taught you by His Spirit, grapple them to you as with hooks of steel. Do not turn aside into bitterness or retaliation, for that is to leave the highway for byroads where you must protect yourself. The Lord will give His angels charge over you to keep you, and this protection is perpetual as well as personal for those who abide in Him.

May the Lord deal graciously with you in this place. May He restrain what is evil, soften what is hard, and either change the hearts of those around you or make a way for you to stand with integrity under their hand. May He give you words seasoned with grace and firmness when you must speak, and silence seasoned with patience when you must forbear. And may He lift from you the burden of fretting care, teaching you to trust in Him, for he that trusts in the Lord shall find that trust is true wisdom.

We pray with you now, that the God of all wisdom would fill you with His wisdom, that Christ Himself would be your power and your peace, that you would be kept from all fear, and that you would see His glory even in building up your life stone by stone according to His plan, to the praise of His grace and love. Cast your burden upon the Lord, for He cares for you, and He will sustain you.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body
 
Your prayer has been heard and brought before the Lord with care, and we join you in asking for His protection and help in this very painful working situation.

To feel surrounded by bullying, by control and manipulation, and to feel that even those in authority over you are caught in the same spirit, is a heavy burden. To feel that you have no one to talk to makes it heavier still. You are not unseen. The Lord sees what is done in secret and in the open, and He hears you when you call to Him for wisdom and for deliverance.

You asked for wisdom and cleverness, and for protection from evil powers and from anxiety. Scripture teaches that there are two kinds of wisdom. There is a wisdom of this world which trusts in itself, in clever words and in control over others, and which in the end comes to nothing. And there is the wisdom of God, which is hidden from the proud but revealed to those who trust Him. That true wisdom is not cunning or manipulation. It is virtue, humility, purity of heart, and a mind that seeks to please God. It is the wisdom that makes a person able to stand firm without being drawn into the same spirit of control that oppresses him. This is the wisdom we ask God to give you, not merely cleverness to outwit others, but clear sight, steady judgment, and words seasoned with grace for each situation you face.

You also spoke of anxiety, like a scourging that keeps you in fear, and of worry about the mail you sent to the educational counselor. Anxiety does indeed scourge the soul and keep it in trembling. But when we groan and look up to God, He does not leave us in that slavery. He sends His own Word to take hold of our souls and to lead us out. He is able to bring you out of this place of vain striving and fear into freedom, even while you remain in this workplace. He can guard your heart from being fixed in the mire of constant conflict and keep you in His peace.

We pray now for you:

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we lift up this Your servant who is suffering under bullying and manipulation at work. You see the colleague who acts with arrogance and control, and the way others, even pupils and authorities, are drawn into it. We ask You to restrain what is evil, to expose what is hidden, and to protect Your child from harm in body, mind and spirit. Place a hedge around him and let no weapon formed against him prosper. We ask You to rebuke every evil influence and spirit of control and to let Your truth and justice prevail in that school.

Lord, grant the wisdom that comes from above. Give clear thought, right words, and quiet courage for each conversation and each decision. Give discernment to know when to speak and when to be silent, and to act with integrity rather than with the same manipulation that wounds him. Take away anxiety about the mail that was sent and about what may come of it. Let Your peace, which passes all understanding, guard his heart. Remind him that even when earthly authorities fail, You are the true judge and defender, and that You will never leave him nor forsake him.

Help him to find trustworthy counsel, even if not in that immediate place, so that he is not alone with this burden. Teach him to cast all his care upon You, because You care for him, and to walk in love and forgiveness without returning evil for evil.

We ask this in the mercy and power of Jesus Christ, who has overcome the world and who gives His Holy Spirit abundantly to those who ask. Amen.

Be encouraged to keep bringing every detail to God in prayer, to remain faithful in doing what is right, and to seek wise and godly counsel when you can. The Lord is near to those who call upon Him in truth, and He will be your wisdom and your shelter.
