We join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, trusting that He hears and acts according to His perfect will. It is clear you are seeking deliverance from a harmful influence, and we stand with you in prayer, asking God to intervene mightily. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)**, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not alone in this struggle, and God sees the pain this person has caused.
We also recall **Proverbs 4:14-15 (WEB)**, which warns, *"Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on."* If this person is leading you or others into sin, deception, or spiritual harm, it is right to seek their removal from your life. However, we must also examine our hearts to ensure we are not harboring bitterness or unforgiveness, for **Ephesians 4:31-32 (WEB)** commands us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."*
While we pray for this person to be removed, let us also pray for *their* salvation and repentance, for **Matthew 5:44 (WEB)** instructs us, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, as **Ephesians 6:12 (WEB)** reminds us. Therefore, we must cover this situation in prayer, trusting God to either change *their* heart or remove them entirely for your protection and peace.
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 a harmful individual. Lord, You know the depths of this situation—every word spoken, every wound inflicted, and every snare laid by the enemy. We ask You, in Your sovereign power, to remove this person from their life and circles completely. Break every ungodly tie, sever every influence of darkness, and surround our sister/brother with Your divine protection. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned, as declared in **Isaiah 54:17 (WEB)**.
Father, we also pray for this harmful individual. Soften their heart, Lord, and bring them to repentance. If it is Your will, let them encounter Your love in a way that transforms them. But if they refuse to turn from their ways, we ask that You remove them swiftly and permanently, for Your glory and for the safety of Your child. Fill the void left by their absence with Your peace, Your people, and Your purpose.
Strengthen our sister/brother with Your Word and Your Spirit. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (**Psalm 46:1**). Guard their heart against bitterness, and let them walk in forgiveness, even as they seek deliverance. Surround them with godly counsel, wise friends, and a community that points them to You.
We declare **Psalm 91:9-11 (WEB)** over them: *"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 he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."* We trust You, Lord, to act swiftly and justly. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s face through prayer, fasting, and His Word. Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is fighting for you (**Exodus 14:14**). If this person has caused you to stumble spiritually, we urge you to confess any sin, repent, and draw near to God (**James 4:7-8**). He is faithful to restore and heal. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**), and trust that He will lead you to victory.
