Please pray for the removal of bad neighbors especially two households in particular. Please also pray for the removal of bad neighbors who moved but keep hanging around the area. Please also pray for the deportation of those in America that need to be. I understand that the topic of deportation is sensitive but there are some people here who genuinely are dangerous and should be removed. I know from personal experience that there are many people who come here that explain to people that hate Americans and America and don't come with good intentions. I have relatives like that. I have also experienced a lot of prejudice from immigrants as an African American.

We understand your deep concerns about the challenges you’re facing with difficult neighbors and the broader issues of safety and justice in our nation. The Bible calls us to pray for our leaders, our communities, and even our enemies, while also seeking God’s righteousness and protection in every situation. Let us first address the heart of your request with Scripture and prayer, trusting that God is sovereign over all things, including the placement and removal of people in our lives.
The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 21:1**, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires."* This truth applies not only to kings but to all authorities and even to the circumstances of our daily lives. While we may desire the removal of those who cause harm or disruption, we must also pray for their salvation and repentance, for God’s heart is that *none should perish* but that all would come to repentance (**2 Peter 3:9**). At the same time, we are called to seek justice and protection, especially when faced with those who intend harm or live in defiance of God’s laws.
Regarding the deportation of those who pose a genuine threat, we recognize that governments are instituted by God to maintain order and justice. **Romans 13:1-4** tells us, *"Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive judgment to themselves. For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same, for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil."* We can and should pray that our leaders act wisely and justly in these matters, removing those who seek to harm our nation or its people while showing mercy and fairness to those who seek to live peaceably.
However, we must also examine our own hearts in these matters. **Matthew 5:44** commands 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."* This does not mean we ignore wrongdoing or fail to seek justice, but it does mean our hearts should be free from bitterness or hatred, even toward those who treat us poorly. If you have experienced prejudice, even from immigrants, we grieve with you over that pain. The Bible is clear that in Christ, there is no distinction between Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female—we are all one in Him (**Galatians 3:28**). Prejudice of any kind is sinful and grievous to God, and we pray that He would heal your heart from the wounds of such treatment.
As for your relatives or others who harbor hatred toward America or its people, we must pray for their hearts to be changed by the power of the Gospel. **Ezekiel 36:26** promises, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."* Only God can soften hearts that are hardened by hatred or bitterness. We must trust Him to work in ways we cannot see, even as we seek protection from those who intend harm.
Now, let us pray together over these matters, lifting them before the Lord with faith and humility:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You as a people who long for justice, peace, and righteousness in our land. Lord, You see the struggles our brother/sister is facing with difficult and even dangerous neighbors. We ask that You would intervene in these situations, Lord. If it is Your will, remove those who seek to cause harm or disrupt the peace of this community. Soften the hearts of those who are hardened, Lord, and bring conviction where there is sin. Let Your Spirit move in such a way that even those who intend evil would be turned toward repentance and faith in You.
Father, we pray for our government leaders and authorities. Give them wisdom, discernment, and courage to act justly, especially in matters of immigration and the protection of our nation. Remove those who seek to do harm, Lord, and grant mercy to those who seek to live peaceably. Let our laws be applied fairly and righteously, and let Your will be done in these matters.
We also lift up the pain of prejudice that has been experienced. Lord, heal the wounds caused by hatred and discrimination. Remind our brother/sister that their identity and worth are found in You alone, and that no earthly prejudice can separate them from Your love (**Romans 8:38-39**). Give them grace to forgive, even as they seek justice, and fill their heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
For those who hate this nation or its people, Lord, we pray that You would change their hearts. Let them encounter Your love in a way that transforms their bitterness into gratitude and their hatred into love. Use Your people to be ambassadors of reconciliation, showing the love of Christ even to those who may despise us.
Finally, Lord, we ask for Your protection over our brother/sister and their home. Be a shield around them, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). Give them wisdom in how to navigate these challenges, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are their defender.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to change hearts and bring justice. Amen.
---
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in these matters, trusting that He hears your prayers and will act in His perfect timing. While we may desire immediate relief, God often uses these trials to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him. Keep your heart guarded against bitterness, and remember that vengeance belongs to the Lord (**Romans 12:19**). Instead, focus on living a life that honors Him, showing love even to those who may not deserve it, and trusting that He will right every wrong in His time.
If there are specific ways you can be a light to these neighbors—whether through kindness, prayer, or even setting godly boundaries—ask the Lord to show you how. Sometimes, the most powerful testimony is a life that reflects Christ’s love in the midst of difficulty. Stay rooted in His Word, and let His peace guard your heart as you wait on Him.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your concerns about your neighbors before the Lord these past few days. It has been our privilege to stand with you in prayer, asking God for His protection, wisdom, and intervention in what we know has been a deeply difficult and even dangerous situation for you. We understand the weight of living in an environment where you feel threatened, disrespected, or unsafe, and we have been earnestly seeking the Lord to bring peace, justice, and resolution to this burden you’ve carried for so long.
We pray that God has already begun to move in ways seen and unseen—softening hearts where needed, removing those who pose a threat, and surrounding you with His divine protection. If the Lord has answered in any way, whether through the removal of these neighbors, a new sense of safety, or even a shift in the atmosphere around your home, we would love to rejoice with you. Please share a praise report so we can give thanks together for His faithfulness.
If this struggle continues, we want you to know we are still here, ready to persist in prayer alongside you. Sometimes these battles are long, and the enemy seeks to wear us down with discouragement or fear. But we serve a God who hears the cries of His people and acts on their behalf. Do not hesitate to post an update or a new request—we will keep interceding, trusting that the Lord is working even when we cannot yet see the breakthrough. We are also praying for your heart and strength during this time, that God would guard you against bitterness or anxiety and fill you instead with His peace that surpasses understanding.
We especially lift up your pain over the prejudice you’ve faced, asking the Lord to heal those wounds and remind you of your infinite worth in Him. No one should have to endure hatred or unjust treatment, and we pray that God would expose and dismantle every scheme of the enemy meant to bring division or harm. May He also place godly, supportive relationships in your life—people who reflect His love and stand with you in truth.
Continue to seek Him, dear sibling in Christ, and trust that He sees what you’re facing. He is not indifferent to your suffering, and He will fight for you. We are standing with you in faith, believing that God will bring justice, restoration, and safety to your home and neighborhood. Keep holding on to Him, for He is your refuge and strength.
We love you and are grateful for your heart to see God’s will done, even in the midst of such hardship. Let us know how we can keep praying. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name.
