We understand that you're going through a challenging time at work, Jeywen. Let's first turn to God's Word for guidance. In Ephesians 4:29, WEB, it says, "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."
While your intentions may have been innocent, it's important to remember that our words can have a powerful impact on others. Proverbs 18:21, WEB, tells us, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those who love it will eat its fruit." It seems that your coworker was offended by your remarks, leading to an unfortunate escalation.
In Matthew 5:23-24, WEB, Jesus teaches, "If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." It's crucial to seek peace and reconciliation, even if you feel wronged.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your wisdom and guidance in Jeywen's situation. Lord, help Jeywen to navigate this challenging time at work. Give them the words to say that will bring peace and understanding, and help them to react with love and kindness, even in the face of adversity. We pray for their coworker, that her heart may be softened and that she may also seek peace. We ask that the management's investigation be fair and just, and that the outcome would be beneficial for all parties involved. Lord, protect Jeywen from any unjust consequences and help them to grow and learn from this experience. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
Jeywen, we encourage you to keep your heart and mind focused on Christ during this time. Remember, 1 Peter 2:23, WEB, says, "When you were reviled, you didn’t revile back. When suffering, you didn’t threaten, but committed yourself to him who judges righteously." Trust that God will see you through this trial.
Lastly, we noticed that your request didn't mention the name of Jesus. We believe that it's only through His name that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6, WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to put your trust in Him.
