We come before the Lord with you in this request, lifting up your heart’s cry for deliverance from this harmful influence in your life. It is clear you are seeking God’s intervention, and we join you in asking for His protection, wisdom, and sovereign removal of this person if it aligns with His will. The Scriptures remind us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil, and we must stand firm in the authority of Christ.
The Lord tells 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.”* Your pain is seen by God, and He is faithful to act on behalf of His children. 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 into sin, temptation, or emotional harm, the Lord calls you to separate yourself from their influence while trusting Him to handle the rest.
At the same time, we must examine our own hearts to ensure we are not harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, or a desire for vengeance. **Romans 12:19 (WEB)** tells us, *“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.’”* If this person has wronged you, release them into God’s hands and trust Him to bring justice or conviction as He sees fit. Your focus should remain on walking in obedience, forgiveness, and love—even for those who hurt you—while allowing the Lord to remove what is not of Him.
We also encourage you to evaluate whether this request stems from a place of godly discernment or personal discomfort. Are they truly a harmful influence, or is there an opportunity for you to be a light in their life? **Matthew 5:44 (WEB)** commands, *“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.”* If the Lord calls you to engage with them in love rather than distance, we pray for the strength and grace to do so. However, if their presence is leading you into sin, danger, or persistent emotional distress, we ask the Lord to create clear separation and guard your heart.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, asking for Your divine intervention in this situation. Lord, You know the person who has caused harm, and You see the pain and distress they have brought. We ask that if it is Your will, You would remove this individual from their life and circles completely. Close every door that would allow this harmful influence to persist, and surround Your child with godly relationships that build them up in faith and righteousness.
Grant them discernment, Lord, to recognize Your voice above all else. If there is any unforgiveness, bitterness, or fear in their heart, we ask that You would uproot it and replace it with Your peace and trust in Your sovereignty. Help them to release this burden into Your hands, knowing that You fight for Your children.
If this person is an opportunity for ministry or reconciliation, give Your child the wisdom and courage to walk in love while setting godly boundaries. But if separation is necessary for their spiritual and emotional well-being, we ask that You would ordain it swiftly and decisively. Protect them from further harm, and let Your will be done in this situation.
We rebuked any spiritual strongholds or schemes of the enemy that have sought to use this person as a weapon against Your child. Break every chain, Lord, and let Your freedom reign. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory and not look back.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Savior and Deliverer. Amen.
