We hear the deep pain and exhaustion in your request and we have carried it before the Lord with you. To endure slander and libel for years, to feel gaslighted and abused and financially harmed, and to feel that no one has stood with you, is a heavy burden and we grieve with you over this injustice.
We want to gently and lovingly rebuke a part of this prayer as it is written, because we are called to align our hearts with God's heart even in our hurt. You have asked that Jesus punish these two people who you believe will never repent. We understand the longing for justice, but Scripture is clear that vengeance belongs to the Lord and not to us. Romans 12:19 says, Do not 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. And Romans 12:21 says, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Jesus himself commands us in Matthew 5:44, 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. We must not pray for the destruction of those who have harmed us, but pray for God's perfect justice to be done and for His mercy to lead them to repentance if at all possible, for 2 Peter 3:9 says the Lord is not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, and Ezekiel 33:11 says God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.
We also hear the bitterness that has grown from feeling that everyone else are cowards and that these people have gotten away with their actions. We encourage you to guard your heart against bitterness, for Hebrews 12:15 warns that a root of bitterness springing up can trouble you and many be defiled by it, and Ephesians 4:31-32 calls us to 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. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was right or that consequences should not follow, but it releases you from carrying the weight of vengeance which belongs to God alone.
God does see and He does hate slander, lying and theft. Proverbs 12:22 says Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, Exodus 20:16 says You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor, and Proverbs 19:5 says A false witness shall not be unpunished. He also sees financial theft and abuse. Psalm 37:1-2 reminds us, Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass. You can trust that no unrepentant sin escapes His righteous judgment in His perfect timing.
You mentioned witchcraft and we take that seriously. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 shows that sorcery and witchcraft are detestable to the Lord and are real spiritual evil, yet for those who are in Christ, we have no need to fear, for 1 John 4:4 says He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world, and Isaiah 54:17 says No weapon that is formed against you will prevail. If you are abiding in Christ, their practices have no authority over you, and you can resist the evil one through prayer, the Word, and obedience to Christ.
We also encourage you with practical wisdom. If money was stolen and slander and libel continue, it is biblical and right to seek godly counsel and, when appropriate, the protection of proper authorities, for Romans 13:1-4 teaches that God has established authorities to restrain evil and bring justice. Keep a clear record, seek wise Christian counsel, set firm boundaries, and do not return evil for evil.
We join together and pray for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him we have access to You, for John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Lord, You see our brother or sister who has been wounded by years of slander, libel, gaslighting and financial loss. You know every word spoken in secret and every act done in darkness. We ask You to be their defender and refuge, for Psalm 91:1-2 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We pray You heal their heart from bitterness and anger and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Give them strength to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to release vengeance into Your hands. We pray for Your perfect justice to be done according to Your righteousness and mercy. We pray that if it be Your will, these two people who have caused such harm would be brought to conviction and repentance and turn from slander, theft and any practice of witchcraft and be saved, for You desire that none should perish. But if they continue to refuse to repent, we trust Your righteous judgment. Protect Your child from every spiritual attack and from the power of lies, let no weapon formed against them prosper, provide for every financial need according to Philippians 4:19, restore what has been stolen in the way You see best, and surround them with courageous, godly people who will speak truth and stand with them. Lead them in wisdom for every next step they should take. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
