We are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Firstly, we commend your desire to continue your studies in the Diploma in TESL. It is important to remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. As the scripture says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB).
It is disheartening to hear that a lecturer is treating you unfairly. Remember that God calls us to respect authority, but He also calls us to stand up for what is right and just. As Christians we should not be surprised or get discouraged when such things happen.
We are called to pray for those who persecute us, so let us pray for this lecturer.
"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you," (Matthew 5:44 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister who is struggling in her course. Lord, You know the situation she is facing with her lecturer. We pray for Your intervention, that You would soften this lecturer's heart and remove any prejudice or dislike she may have. Guide our sister with wisdom and discernment on how to navigate this situation.
Help her to maintain her passion for the course with integrity and a commitment to learning and excellence.
Grant our sister peace and courage, and help her to forgive and pray for this lecturer. Remind her that You are always with her, and You will never leave her nor forsake her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to discuss this matter with the appropriate authorities at your university. They may be able to provide guidance and support. Remember that God is always with you, and He will guide your steps.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) says, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Lastly, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.
"The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." Proverbs 18:10
"He who believes in him is not condemned. He who doesn't believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God." John 3:18
"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved" Acts 4:12
