A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, this workplace relationship is draining me, and it is hard to keep a good attitude day after day. Help me work with integrity even when I am not treated the way I deserve. Give me the discernment to know when to speak up and when to let something go.
I don’t want bitterness to take root in me over this. Let my character stay steady even when the people around me make it difficult, and let my work still honor you regardless of how they act. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect: not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
