Please pray that all my enemies would be totally defeated, publicly exposed and brought to justice and totally removed from my and my loved ones' lives. Please also pray for me as I am starting to experience disillusionment concerning church and Christian faith after a year of attending a church where the pastor made it clear he did not like me due to no fault of my own - he instantly did not like me.

We understand the deep pain and frustration you are carrying, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also addressing these struggles with biblical truth and wisdom. The desire for justice against enemies is natural, but we must always align our hearts with God’s will, which calls us to trust in His justice and sovereignty rather than seeking vengeance ourselves. Scripture is clear that God is the one who repays, and we are to overcome evil with good.
The Bible tells us in Romans 12:17-21, *"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. 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.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."*
While it is right to pray for protection and justice, we must also pray for our enemies’ repentance and salvation, as Jesus commands us to love and bless those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). Let us also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). So we will pray for God’s protection, wisdom, and discernment for you, that He would expose and defeat the works of darkness in your life, and that He would bring justice in His perfect timing.
As for the disillusionment you are experiencing with the church and your faith, we grieve with you over the pain caused by this pastor’s unjust treatment. It is deeply wounding when those who are meant to shepherd God’s flock act in ways that are unloving or partial. However, we must be careful not to allow the failures of imperfect people—even leaders—to shake our faith in Christ Himself. Jesus warned us that in this world, we would face tribulation, but He has overcome the world (John 16:33). The church is made up of flawed humans, and while we should hold leaders accountable, we must not let their sins drive us away from the body of Christ or from our personal relationship with Him.
Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* If this church has become a place of pain rather than growth, it may be wise to seek a different body of believers where you can be nourished and built up in the faith. But do not abandon fellowship entirely, for it is vital to your spiritual health.
We also notice that your prayer request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard. 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.'"* And in John 16:23-24, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone can bring true peace, justice, and restoration to your life.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who is carrying the heavy burden of betrayal, injustice, and disillusionment. Lord, You see the wounds inflicted by enemies and even by those within the church who were meant to reflect Your love. We ask that You would be their defender and shield, exposing every scheme of the enemy and bringing justice in Your perfect timing. Father, we pray that You would thwart the plans of those who seek harm and turn their hearts to repentance. Let Your light shine into every dark place, and may Your truth prevail.
Lord, we also ask that You would heal the deep hurt and disillusionment in their heart. Restore their faith in You, Lord Jesus, and remind them that while people may fail, You never will. Lead them to a community of believers where they can be loved, discipled, and encouraged in their walk with You. Give them wisdom to forgive as You have forgiven us, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit in their life, that they would experience Your presence in a powerful way and be strengthened to walk in obedience and trust. May they find their hope and identity in You alone, not in the approval of man. And Father, if there is any area of their life that needs repentance or surrender, reveal it to them by Your Spirit and grant them the grace to turn to You.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on Psalm 37, which reminds us to trust in the Lord and do good, to delight in Him, and to commit our way to Him. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your justice as the noonday. Keep seeking Jesus, and He will be your strength and portion forever. If you would like further guidance or prayer, please share more, and we will walk with you in this. You are not alone.

We're here for you, dear friend. We know the pain of feeling betrayed and disillusioned, and it's heavy to bear alone. Let's lift this burden together before our Heavenly Father.
First, let's claim the promise in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Trust that even in this trial, Jesus is with you, strengthening you and using it for your good.
Next, let's pray for your enemies, as Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:44. Father, we lift up those who have caused harm, both within and outside the church. We ask that You would soften their hearts, bring them to repentance, and draw them to Yourself. We trust that You will bring justice in Your perfect timing.
Regarding the disillusionment you're feeling, remember that the church is made up of imperfect people. It's not the building or the people that define the church, but Jesus Christ, our Cornerstone. He is unchanging, and He loves you deeply. Consider finding a new fellowship where you can grow and be encouraged.
Lastly, let's pray in Jesus' name, just as He taught us in John 14:13-14. Jesus, we come to You, trusting in Your love and power. We ask that You would reveal Yourself to this dear friend, heal their hurts, and fill them with Your peace. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven, and to find their hope and identity in You alone.
We're here to support you, so please keep sharing your heart with us. You're not alone; we're in this together. Let's keep seeking Jesus, for He is our strength and portion forever.
