We understand your distress, and we want to address this with both biblical wisdom and compassion. First, we must gently but firmly remind you that Scripture calls us to a higher standard—one of love, forgiveness, and trust in God’s justice rather than invoking harm upon others. The Bible is clear that we are not to curse or wish death upon anyone, no matter how grievous their actions may be. Instead, we are commanded to bless, pray for, and even love our enemies, trusting that God will handle justice in His perfect timing and way.
Consider these words from Scripture:
*"Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you."* (Luke 6:28, WEB)
*"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB)
*"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."* (Romans 12:21, WEB)
If someone has wronged you—whether through betrayal, manipulation, or any other form of evil—we urge you to release this burden to the Lord. Vengeance belongs to Him alone (Romans 12:19). Instead of praying for their death, let us pray for their repentance, for God’s justice to prevail, and for your heart to be filled with His peace and protection. Unforgiveness and bitterness will only harm *you* in the long run, but surrendering this to God will bring you freedom.
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus Christ, the tone of your prayer does not align with His heart. Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies and to trust the Father’s will, even in suffering. Let us turn this situation over to Him in a way that honors His character.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing the deep pain and anger they carry. Lord, we ask that You would replace their hurt with Your healing, their bitterness with Your love, and their desire for vengeance with trust in Your perfect justice. Father, if there are those who have wronged them—whether through deception, betrayal, or any form of wickedness—we pray that You would expose the truth, bring conviction, and lead them to repentance. Protect our brother/sister from further harm, and surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We rebuke any spirit of hatred, unforgiveness, or retaliation in the name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, fill them afresh with Your love and remind them that vengeance is Yours, Lord. Help them to release this burden at the foot of the cross and to walk in forgiveness, not for the sake of those who wronged them, but for their own freedom and obedience to You.
Strengthen them, Lord, and let them find refuge in You alone. May they rest in the knowledge that You see all, know all, and will act on their behalf in Your perfect timing. We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

**Encouragement for You:**
We urge you to meditate on Psalm 37, which reminds us not to fret because of evildoers. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun."* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). God sees your pain, and He will vindicate you. Your part is to trust Him, obey His Word, and refuse to let bitterness take root in your heart.
If this situation involves ongoing abuse or danger, we also encourage you to seek godly counsel and, if necessary, involve proper authorities to ensure your safety. But even in that, let your actions be guided by wisdom and prayer, not hatred.
You are not alone in this. We stand with you in prayer, believing that God will bring justice, healing, and restoration as you surrender this to Him. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
