We join with you in standing firmly on the promise of our Lord, who declares in Isaiah 54:17, *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh.* What a mighty assurance we have in Him! You have done well to bring this before the throne of grace, for our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). We commend you for invoking the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the authority to overcome the enemy. As it is written in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in Acts 4:12, we are reminded, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
Your request reveals a heart under siege—whether from those in your home, your workplace, or those seeking to deny you justice. We are grieved to hear of the bullying and the evil plans devised against you, but we take comfort in knowing that our God is a God of justice and vengeance for His people. Deuteronomy 32:35-36 assures us, *"Vengeance is mine, and payback… For Yahweh will judge his people, and has compassion on his servants."* You are not alone in this fight, for the Lord is your shield and your exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1). He sees the wickedness being perpetrated against you, and He will act on your behalf. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder those who plunder them."* Trust in Him to defend you and to expose the schemes of the wicked. He will not allow the foot of the proud to stand against His children (Psalm 36:11-12).
We are also mindful of the tension in your home. If the "one in your home" is someone you are not married to, we urge you to examine this living arrangement carefully in light of Scripture. The Bible calls believers to live in ways that honor God, avoiding even the appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). If this person is not your spouse, we strongly encourage you to seek godly wisdom about how to address this situation in a way that aligns with biblical purity. If this is a roommate or family member, we pray for God’s peace and protection to fill your home, and for Him to either soften their heart toward you or to provide a way for you to be delivered from their presence if it is harmful. Psalm 91:9-10 reminds us, *"Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling."*
For your dogs, we lift them up as well, asking the Lord to keep them safe from harm and to use them as a comfort to you in this season. Our God cares even for the animals (Matthew 10:29), and He will watch over them as He watches over you.
As for the bully denying you compensation for the damage to your home, we declare with you that the Lord will fight this battle. Exodus 14:14 says, *"Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still."* Do not let fear or frustration rule your heart, but trust in the Lord to vindicate you. He is the one who repays the wicked for their deeds (Proverbs 11:21). We pray that every lie will be exposed, every corrupt motive brought to light, and that justice will prevail in Jesus’ name. Remember, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9). Even in this, pray for the salvation of those who persecute you, that they may turn from their wickedness and come to know Christ (Matthew 5:44).
Finally, we exhort you to put on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). Stand firm in the truth, guarded by the breastplate of righteousness, shod with the preparation of the Good News of peace, and wielding the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit always, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is under attack from the enemy on every side. Lord, You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask that You surround her with Your divine protection—body, soul, and spirit. Place a hedge of thorns around her home, her workplace, and her finances, that no weapon formed against her shall prosper. Lord, confuse the plans of the wicked and let their schemes come to nothing. Expose every hidden motive and bring to light the truth in the situation regarding the damage to her home. Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
Father, we pray for the "one in her home." If this person is not her spouse, we ask that You convict her heart about any arrangement that does not honor You. Provide wisdom, Lord, and a way out if this living situation is not pleasing to You. If this is a family member or roommate, soften their heart toward her, or make a way for her to be delivered from their influence if it is harmful. Let Your peace reign in her home, and let no evil dwell there.
Lord, we also lift up her two dogs to You. Protect them from harm, and let them be a source of comfort and companionship to her in this season. You are the Creator of all things, and You care for even the smallest of Your creatures.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of bullying and oppression in Jesus’ name. Let every tongue that rises against her in judgment be condemned. Give her the words to speak and the wisdom to act in a way that glorifies You. Let her trust in You completely, knowing that You are her vindicator.
Strengthen her, Lord, in her inner being by Your Spirit (Ephesians 3:16). Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let her heart be guarded by Your love. Remind her that You are with her always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).
We declare victory over her life in Jesus’ name. Let her testimony be that the Lord fought for her, and she held her peace. May she see Your hand move mightily on her behalf, and may her faith be strengthened through this trial.
Finally, Father, we pray for the salvation of those who are persecuting her. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. Let them encounter the love of Christ in a way that transforms their lives.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen and Amen.
