Persecution at work

[UnitynLove]

I am being persecuted at work. I don't know if I can take it anymore., I want to leave but there is a voice in me that's saying stay because I work with children and I love them and feel I'm making a big impact on their lives, but the persecution is getting too much. I don't know if I can handle it anymore. I have one more month to go and then my job ends, I need some strength to get through this month strong. What should I do in this case, should I quite or stay, because I feel like the persecution is getting too much.

In what way are you being persecuted?

Throughout the Bible we can read about persecution. It is stated that it is something to be expected. We're not of this world, only in it. In Acts 5 we learn how Peter and John suffered at the hands of the council. They didn't despair though, instead they drew strength from it and became joyful for having been counted worthy of suffering for His name.

When the early christians were persecuted, they gathered and prayed to the Lord for strength, and for his will to happen. I will pray for you. Stay strong and remember, of all the suffering in the world, suffering for Jesus is certainly rewarded.

God bless.

I don't think not getting along with someone at work, or whatever is going on, is being persecuted.

Being fed to lions for believing something different from the majority, now that's persecution.

You have been given some good advice by the poster before me. I don't think I could add anything more unless you are being physically harmed. That would be a reason to make a complaint to the police. You could ask yourself, am I being more hurt than the help I am giving the children?

Father, I ask You help with this problem Your child is enduring for your children. Make Your presence know to her in a way she will know what she must do. Give her peace and strength and courage to stand firm as she fights the forces against her. Lord You know the situation she is in. I pray Your will be done. In Jesus name, I pray. amen

I would stay,

In James 1:2 it says be thankful for trials that come your way, God is perfecting you in his love, give thanks!

You are tested to see if you will respond like the world and the Flesh nature (like Satan) or if you will respond like Jesus (like the spirit of God) with Love for your neighbor.
Trust in God, and keep his word close to your heart in all you think and do.

ask yourself what would Jesus do and how would he respond.....i could be a test.

When I complained to my Priest that I was being mistreated by someone his answer was: "That person is good for your soul."

Sometimes when bad things occur it helps us to reach out more to Christ.

(That is where my screen name came from. I have learned the hard way that it is in the thorns of life that Grace is most evident.)

You know now that I think about it this situation can boost my ability for patience, forgivness, and love. Holy God I praise you for this experience, thank you for sharing your gifts of love with me.

it is good for you if it draws you closer to God....hang in there and lean not on your own understanding,lean on Gods and his strength,he will carry you through.Keep being obedient and trust God. It is in times like these is when God is working on us to be formed /molded into being more like his Son,Jesus Christ.
