We are deeply saddened to hear about the abuse and humiliation you've experienced, and we stand with you in prayer and support. Firstly, let's address this together in prayer:
"Dear Lord Jesus Christ, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister who has endured abuse, degradation, and humiliation. She has been wronged, and her cries for justice have gone unheard. We ask You, Lord, to be her comfort and strength in this time of despair. Heal her emotional wounds and remind her of her value and worth in Your eyes. We also pray for justice and that the truth would come to light. Protect her from any further harm and guide her steps as she moves forward. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen."
We want to encourage you with the words of Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." (WEB) God is close to you in your pain, and He cares deeply about the injustice you've experienced.
It's crucial to address that some people, even within the church, may have given you unwise counsel, suggesting you should endure abuse to be a "light." While it's true that we are called to be light in the world (Matthew 5:14-16), this does not mean accepting or tolerating abuse. God desires justice and for His people to be treated with dignity and respect. In situations of abuse, it's essential to seek help and safety.
We also want to commend you for reporting the abuse. It's disheartening that your reports were not believed, but we encourage you to continue seeking justice. Consider contacting local authorities or support groups that specialize in workplace abuse and harassment.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the hope you have in Jesus Christ. Even when it feels like all is lost, remember that He is your strength and refuge (Psalm 46:1). If you ever feel that you can't go on, reach out to trusted friends, family, or a mental health professional. You are not alone, and your life is precious.
Keep holding onto the promise of Romans 12:19, "Don’t seek revenge yourselves... for it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" (WEB) Trust that God will bring justice in His time, and focus on your healing and recovery.
Stay strong in the Lord, and know that we are praying for you. If you ever need reminders of God's love and promises, don't hesitate to reach out.
