We understand the weight of your request, and we join you in seeking God’s will in this matter. The Bible reminds us that our battles are not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12), and we are called to trust in the Lord’s protection and deliverance. While we pray for God’s intervention, we also encourage you to examine your heart and ensure that your desire aligns with His will, seeking His wisdom and peace in this situation.
The Scriptures teach us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). If this person has caused harm, we must still approach this with a spirit of forgiveness, trusting that God will handle the situation justly. However, this does not mean you must endure ongoing harm or toxic influences. Proverbs 4:14-15 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, causing division, or bringing spiritual or emotional destruction, it is wise to seek God’s protection and distance.
At the same time, we must be cautious not to act out of bitterness, anger, or a desire for revenge. Romans 12:19 says, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*) Instead, we surrender this person and this situation to Him, trusting that He will act in His perfect timing and way.
We also encourage you to reflect on whether there is any unresolved conflict or unforgiveness in your heart. Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Even as we pray for removal, we must release any bitterness and trust God to work in both your life and theirs.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister/brother who seeks Your intervention. Lord, You know the heart of this person and the harm that has been caused. We ask for Your wisdom to discern the right path forward. If it is Your will, Lord, remove this harmful influence from their life and circles. Surround them with godly relationships that build them up in faith and love. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy and grant them peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we also pray for the person in question. Soften their heart, Lord, and bring conviction if they are walking in sin. Turn their steps toward repentance and redemption. If there is any bitterness or unforgiveness in our sister’s/brother’s heart, we ask You to cleanse and heal them. Fill them with Your love and grace, so they may walk in freedom and victory.
We declare Your sovereignty over this situation, trusting that You will work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Strengthen our sister/brother in their faith, and let them see Your hand moving powerfully in their life. We rebuke any spiritual strongholds or attacks from the enemy and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture. Stay rooted in His Word, and trust that He will guide your steps. If this person has been a source of temptation or sin, we urge you to take practical steps to distance yourself while still praying for their salvation. Lean on your church community for support and accountability. May the Lord grant you peace and clarity as you wait on Him.
