Asking prayers for the immediate removal of a harmful person

We join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, knowing that He sees the depths of your heart and the harm this person has caused. It is right to seek God’s protection and deliverance from those who bring destruction, for Scripture assures us that the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9). He hears the cries of His children and acts on their behalf, just as He delivered David from his enemies and the Israelites from Pharaoh’s bondage.

Yet, as we pray for this person’s removal, we must also examine our own hearts. Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44), not because their actions are justified, but because vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). This does not mean tolerating abuse or remaining in harmful situations—boundaries are wise and biblical (Proverbs 22:3, 27:12). However, we are called to release bitterness and trust God’s justice, for He alone sees the full picture and will repay what is due (Hebrews 10:30).

If this person is causing spiritual, emotional, or physical harm, we pray boldly for God to sever ungodly ties and create distance, as He did when He separated Lot from Sodom (Genesis 19:16) and Paul from those who sought to hinder his ministry (Acts 9:23-25). We ask the Lord to expose their schemes, frustrate their plans, and remove their influence over you, just as He turned the hearts of kings to favor Nehemiah (Nehemiah 2:8) and shut the mouths of lions for Daniel (Daniel 6:22). May the Lord place a hedge of protection around you, as He did for Job (Job 1:10), and grant you discernment to recognize and avoid their snares.

At the same time, we pray for this person’s salvation if they do not know Christ. The apostle Paul, once a persecutor of Christians, was transformed by God’s grace (Acts 9:1-19). No one is beyond redemption, and we ask the Lord to convict their heart, bring them to repentance, and turn them from their harmful ways. If they are a believer, we pray for conviction of sin and genuine transformation, that they may bear fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8).

Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is crying out for deliverance. You are the God who parts seas, topples giants, and sets captives free. We ask You to remove this harmful influence from their life—supernaturally, if necessary. Close doors that should not be open, expose hidden agendas, and surround Your child with godly counsel and protection. Give them wisdom to know when to speak, when to act, and when to walk away. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).

If this person is a stumbling block to their faith or well-being, Lord, remove them swiftly. If there is unforgiveness or fear in our sibling’s heart, Holy Spirit, bring healing and replace it with Your peace. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us (Colossians 3:13), not for the sake of the offender, but for their own freedom. Strengthen them to stand firm in Your truth, clothed in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), unshaken by the enemy’s tactics.

We declare that no harm intended against them will succeed, for You, O Lord, are their shield and defender (Psalm 3:3). May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your child walk in the victory Christ has already won. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus, who has overcome the world (John 16:33). Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to seek godly counsel if this situation involves ongoing abuse or danger. The church is called to be a refuge (Psalm 46:1), and trusted believers can help you navigate this season with wisdom and prayer. Cling to the promise that the Lord fights for you (Exodus 14:14), and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Stand firm, dear sibling, and trust that He is working all things for your good (Romans 8:28).

Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
