We join you in lifting this urgent request before the Lord, knowing that He hears the cries of His children and acts on their behalf. It is clear that this person in your life is causing harm, and we stand with you in asking God to intervene, trusting in His perfect will and timing. The Scripture reminds us in Psalm 34:17, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles."* You are not alone in this, and God sees the pain and distress this situation is causing.
We also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:18-19, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven. Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven."* We come into agreement with you, binding the enemy’s influence in this situation and asking God to remove this harmful person from your life and circles.
At the same time, we encourage you to examine your heart and ensure there is no unforgiveness, bitterness, or resentment taking root. Ephesians 4:31-32 instructs 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 removal, we must also release any anger or hurt to the Lord, trusting Him to bring justice and healing. This does not mean what this person has done is acceptable, but it means we trust God to handle it rather than allowing it to fester within us.
We also want to remind you that if this person has caused you harm, it is wise to set healthy boundaries, even as you pray. Proverbs 22:3 tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* Sometimes, God calls us to take practical steps to protect ourselves while we wait for Him to act. If this person is abusive, manipulative, or leading you into sin, it is not only permissible but necessary to distance yourself from them as much as possible.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is burdened by the presence of a harmful person in their life. Lord, You see the pain, the struggle, and the distress this has caused, and we ask You to intervene powerfully. Remove this person from their life and circles, Lord. Cut the ungodly ties and break every scheme of the enemy that seeks to bring harm, confusion, or destruction. We bind the spirit of division, manipulation, and deceit in Jesus’ name, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper.
Father, we ask that You surround them with godly people who will speak life, truth, and encouragement into their situation. Replace every harmful relationship with ones that honor You and build them up in faith. Give them wisdom to know how to set boundaries and the strength to walk in obedience, even when it is difficult.
We also pray for the heart of this harmful person. Lord, if there is any way they can be turned from their harmful ways, we ask that You convict them by Your Holy Spirit. Bring them to repentance, that they may turn from their sin and seek Your face. But if they refuse to change, we ask that You remove them completely, that Your child may walk in freedom and peace.
Father, we thank You that You are a God of justice and mercy. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we do not understand. Fill our brother/sister with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them, and they need only be still.
We declare victory in this situation, knowing that the battle belongs to You. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand move mightily on their behalf. We ask all these things in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in this matter. Spend time in His Word, especially in the Psalms, where David often cried out to God for deliverance from his enemies. Psalm 59:1-2 says, *"Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from evil-doers. Save me from bloodthirsty men."* God is your refuge and strength, and He will not abandon you. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience. He is faithful, and He will see you through.
