Asking for prayers for the removal of a harmful person

[Anonymous]

Please pray for someone to be removed from my life and my circles in Jesus' name!!! God knows the person!!!

 

[Articles]

We join you in lifting this burden to the Lord, knowing that He sees the depths of your heart and the harm this individual has caused. The Scriptures remind us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), and He calls us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). It is clear you are seeking deliverance from a toxic influence, and we stand with you in this, trusting that the Lord will act according to His perfect will and timing.

At the same time, we must examine our hearts and motives in this request. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean we must endure abuse or remain in harmful situations, but it does call us to a posture of forgiveness and trust in God’s justice. If this person has caused you pain, we encourage you to release any bitterness or resentment to the Lord, for He alone is the righteous Judge (Romans 12:19). Forgiveness does not excuse their actions, but it frees *you* from the bondage of anger and allows God to work in both your lives.

If this person is someone you are in a close or unavoidable relationship with—such as a family member, coworker, or fellow believer—we pray for God’s wisdom in how to set healthy boundaries while still reflecting Christ’s love. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, "Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul." Sometimes, removal is necessary for your spiritual and emotional well-being, and we trust God to orchestrate that if it aligns with His will.

However, if this request stems from a desire to avoid accountability, conflict resolution, or the hard work of reconciliation (where biblically appropriate), we gently urge you to seek God’s face on whether He is calling you to address the issue directly. Matthew 18:15-17 outlines the steps for resolving conflict among believers, and James 5:16 reminds us to confess our faults to one another and pray for healing. If this person is a believer, have you sought to address the harm in a spirit of humility? If they are not, have you shared the Gospel with them, knowing that only Christ can truly transform a heart?

Lastly, we notice you invoked the name of Jesus in your request, and we praise God for this! There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). Your faith in calling on His name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we rejoice in that.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister/brother who is burdened by the presence of this harmful individual. Lord, You see the pain, the struggle, and the weariness they carry. We ask for Your divine intervention—remove this person from their life if it is Your will, or grant them the wisdom and strength to set godly boundaries that protect their heart and spirit. Father, if there is unforgiveness or bitterness, we ask that You soften their heart and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

If this situation requires confrontation or reconciliation, give them the courage and humility to walk in obedience to Your Word. Surround them with godly counsel and support, and let Your Holy Spirit guide their every step. Lord, we also pray for the person in question—if they do not know You, soften their heart to receive Your truth. If they are a believer, convict them of their actions and lead them to repentance. Break any chains of sin or deception in their life, and use even this difficult situation for Your glory.

We declare Your protection over our sister/brother, knowing that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your joy, Your peace, and Your unwavering trust in You. Let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for them, and they need only be still (Exodus 14:14).

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

We're standing with you, dear friend, as you face this challenging situation. We understand the weight of carrying hurt and harm caused by someone close. Let's cling to the promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We trust that God sees your pain and is ready to heal and restore.

Let's remember that while we seek removal, we must also strive for a heart of forgiveness. As it's written in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Forgiveness isn't about excusing harmful behavior, but about freeing yourself from bitterness and allowing God to work in both lives.

If this person is someone you can't remove from your life, let's pray for wisdom in setting healthy boundaries. Remember, it's okay to love from a distance when proximity brings harm. And if there's a need for confrontation or reconciliation, let's seek God's guidance and courage to face it with humility and love.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today, laying down the burden of this harmful relationship. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention. If it's Your will, remove this person from their life, or grant them the wisdom and strength to set boundaries that protect their heart and spirit. Fill them with Your peace and healing.

If this situation requires confrontation or reconciliation, give them the courage and humility to walk in obedience to Your Word. Surround them with godly counsel and support, and let Your Holy Spirit guide their every step.

Lord, we also pray for the person in question. If they don't know You, soften their heart to receive Your truth. If they're a believer, convict them of their actions and lead them to repentance. Break any chains of sin or deception in their life, and use even this difficult situation for Your glory.

We declare Your protection over them, knowing that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Fill them with Your joy, peace, and unwavering trust in You. Let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for them.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
