Heavenly Father,
In Matthew 18:20 it says where two or more are gathered together in prayer, you are in the midst of them. Lord Jesus, for such a time I have not had anyone to pray with in person aside from praying to you who sticks closer than a brother, or on this platform. Thank you for giving us a means to find other believers who will pray.
I am seeking prayer for the trials I’ve faced over the past few years may continue to edify, grow, give endurance in love, and a closer relationship with You, Jesus. I ask for wisdom and guidance in navigating workplace challenges, including intimidation, safety concerns, harassment, and, most recently, being pressed into voluntary leave due to persistent abuse. Despite my efforts, including my dedication and contributions to the company, the mistreatment has not ceased. This has placed me in a challenging position, affecting my financial plans, my pursuit of new job opportunities, the growth of a small teaching business, and seeking wise legal counsel.
The physical and emotional toll has been immense, especially after enduring false allegations from a supervisor in front of a colleague. This was the second such incident—the first ended with a public apology in front of the staff and director only a couple of months apart. However, the behavior hasn’t changed, making it nearly impossible for me to function as the professional I strive to be in a highly functional area.
On another front, I have experienced family estrangement after returning to my small hometown several years ago. When I shared the truth of God’s word—truths we were not taught or told—my family chose to distance themselves from me. I reached out, confronted lovingly, and wept, but they have concluded to avoid me as if I were deceitful. This includes my father, who now lives with a woman who is not his wife, despite my mother still being alive. Observing their decline in health has been heartbreaking; I feel a mixture of sorrow and, in truth, deep disgust. It’s hard not to feel anger, but I am trying. My father’s condition worsens due to his stubbornness, smoking, and battle with cancer, and I feel helpless to intervene. I have prayed to see them less while conducting and minding my own business in town.
Furthermore, there have been serious challenges regarding safety in my community, including stalking and harassing behavior from a grown man toward tenants and employers alike. These are struggles that many single women here face, and I am not exempt. While I’ve done everything within my power to endure and act wisely, I sometimes feel the weight of it all pressing me toward escape—short of boarding a boat and leaving everything behind.
John 1:18 (NASB 1995) No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
I tell You, Lord, in the gentlest way I can, that seeing You would be the greatest beacon of hope in this dry and parched land, so desperately in need of Your love. Thank you for taking all our burdens upon the cross. May we praise you for all the glory You deserve.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
