Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
I would like to humbly ask for your prayers regarding a long-standing and painful situation I’m facing at work. For the past five years, I have been dealing with a colleague who consistently bullies me, pushes responsibilities onto me, and creates a very difficult working environment.
This colleague often acts kind and helpful when our bosses are around, but behaves very differently when they are not. I've observed her being rude to customers, including once shouting at an elderly man who didn’t understand her instructions. When I try to engage kindly with customers, she shuts me down or finds ways to blame me for minor things. As a result, I end up doing the majority of the work while she remains free from accountability.
I’ve brought this up to my supervisors, but unfortunately, they seem to trust her more and see her as incapable of such behavior. I fear that my attempts to speak up have caused them to misunderstand me as someone stirring trouble, which is deeply hurtful because I truly just want a healthy, respectful, and fair working environment.
I’m tired, emotionally worn out, and feel invisible. Please pray that:
God would bring justice and truth to light in this situation.
My bosses’ eyes and hearts would be opened to see what is really going on.
I would not grow bitter or vengeful, but remain faithful, kind, and strong.
God would give me peace and strength as I continue working in this environment.
If it is His will, that He would either change the situation—or lead me to a healthier workplace where I am valued and treated with fairness.
Thank you for reading this and for standing with me in prayer. I know that God sees what people may not, and that He is the God who defends the oppressed. Please keep me in your prayers.
In Christ,
Jane Chai
