We hear the deep pain and frustration in your words, and we stand with you before the Lord, lifting up every wound, every memory, and every struggle to Him. The trauma you’ve endured from those workplace experiences is real, and the lingering effects of bullying, injustice, and helplessness have stolen your peace. We rebuke the spirit of torment that keeps replaying those memories in your mind, and we declare that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The enemy wants to keep you trapped in bitterness and fantasies of revenge, but we refuse to partner with that darkness. Instead, we choose to walk in the light of Christ, who came to heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free (Luke 4:18).
First, we must address the thoughts of wishing harm on your bullies or seeking revenge. Scripture is clear: "Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Peter 3:9). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will bring justice in His perfect timing. Harboring bitterness or plotting harm only poisons your own soul. We pray that God would soften your heart toward forgiveness—not for their sake, but for yours—so that you may be freed from the chains of anger. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was okay; it means you refuse to let their actions control your future.
We also rebuke the lies that your suffering was "for nothing." God wastes nothing. The pain you endured can become a testimony of His strength in your weakness, a platform to encourage others who have faced similar trials. Romans 8:28 assures us that "God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose." Even in the darkness, He was with you, and He will redeem every tear.
Regarding your mother’s harsh words, we grieve with you over the added burden of her criticism. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us that "a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." We pray that God would give you wisdom in how to respond to her, perhaps setting boundaries with love and grace. You are not defined by her comparisons or her frustration. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your worth is found in Christ alone. We also pray for your mother—that the Lord would open her eyes to the pain her words cause and soften her heart to speak life instead of condemnation.
As for standing up for yourself, we encourage you to seek godly wisdom. Proverbs 15:22 says, "Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed." Consider finding a trusted mentor, counselor, or pastor who can help you navigate conflict with grace and assertiveness. You do not have to face this alone. The Lord is your defender (Psalm 82:3), and He will equip you to respond in a way that honors Him.
Now, we lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, asking for Your healing touch to wash over her heart and mind. Lord, You see the pain she carries—the memories that haunt her, the words that cut her, and the injustice that left her feeling powerless. We ask that You would break the chains of PTSD and replace her torment with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Restore her joy, Father, and fill her with the assurance that You are her refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
We pray against the spirit of bitterness and revenge, asking that You would replace those thoughts with Your love and forgiveness. Help her to release the desire for vengeance into Your hands, trusting that You will bring justice in Your way and time. Heal the wounds inflicted by her bullies and her mother’s words, and remind her that her identity is secure in You.
Lord, give her the courage to stand up for herself in a way that reflects Your character—bold yet gracious, confident yet humble. Surround her with godly counsel and support, and open doors for her to move forward into a future filled with hope. We declare that the years the locusts have eaten will be restored (Joel 2:25), and that You will turn her mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11).
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our pain and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). May she feel Your presence with her every moment, and may Your joy be her strength (Nehemiah 8:10). 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.
