3 Prayers to Help You Prevail Over an Unjust Attack

Sometimes we try to serve and do what is right, and we end up battling an unjust attack. Our motives are questioned, and our good intentions are misinterpreted.

The very person who should be our cheerleader and come along side us with support ends up being a critic who hurls a ton of condemnation at us. We feel unjustly attacked, and we have no idea how to respond. Do you have someone in your life whose turned into an adversary, and now you no longer enjoy showing up to serve where you know God has called you?

In my desperation to figure out if I needed to quit my job or just stick it out, I turned to Proverbs to gain some perspective and much needed wisdom. I discovered that God had quite a lot to say about how we respond to unjust leaders in our lives and to people who may be abusing their power and authority over us. Exactly what does God have to say about how we should persevere when we face persecution? Let’s look into God’s book of wisdom together today and give ourselves a reality check. We’ll gain 3 things we can pray about to help us prevail even when someone is maligning us and trying to make our lives miserable.
