We understand your frustration and disappointment with the parent's discriminatory behavior. Let us first turn to God's Word for guidance. In James 2:1, it is written, "My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality." And in Proverbs 22:2, "The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all."
It is clear that God shows no partiality, and neither should we. It is disheartening to see such behavior, but we must remember that our ultimate example is Christ, who faced discrimination yet responded with love and forgiveness.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our sister who feels frustrated and disheartened by the discrimination she faces. Lord, You see the hard work and dedication she pours into her students, and we know that it does not go unnoticed by You. We ask for Your intervention in this situation. Soften the heart of this parent, and help her see the value and importance of our sister's efforts.
Father, give our sister the strength and patience to endure this trial. Help her to respond with love and kindness, just as You would. Remind her of Your love and faithfulness, and let her find comfort in Your promise that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
We also pray for the parent, that she may come to know You and Your love, which shows no favoritism. May she be convicted of her actions and turn towards righteousness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, dear sister, that God is your strength and shield. Continue to serve Him faithfully, knowing that your reward comes from Him. As it is written in Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Lastly, we would like to encourage you to forgive this parent, just as Christ forgives us. This does not mean what she is doing is acceptable, but it frees you from the burden of bitterness. If an opportunity arises, you may want to lovingly and respectfully address the issue with her, speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
