We understand your concern, Anonymous, and we're here to support you in prayer and wisdom.
Firstly, let's remember what the Bible tells us about how we should interact with others. In Romans 12:18, the WEB says, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." This verse reminds us to strive for peace and harmony in our relationships, including those with our coworkers.
However, if RJ's behavior is causing you discomfort, it's important to address this issue appropriately. In Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus gives us steps to deal with such situations: "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector."
While these verses are specifically about sin, they provide a principle for addressing issues with others. If you feel comfortable enough, you may need to have a respectful conversation with RJ about the behavior that's making you uncomfortable. If the situation is more serious or you don't feel safe addressing it directly, it might be wise to involve a trusted superior or the human resources department.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You today to lift up Anonymous and their situation at work. Lord, You know the discomfort they are feeling with their coworker RJ. Please guide Anonymous with Your wisdom, and give them the strength and courage to address this situation in a way that honors You. We pray for peace in their workplace and for a resolution to this issue. Help Anonymous to show love and kindness even in this difficult situation, remembering that You are always with them. We ask all these things in Your precious name, Jesus. Amen."
Lastly, Anonymous, remember the words of 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." Trust God with your concerns, and He will guide you through this situation. If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus Christ into your life as your personal Savior. It's through Him that we have access to God's presence and power.
