We hear the deep pain and injustice in your words, and we grieve with you over the relentless persecution you’ve endured at the hands of wicked people. The Bible makes it clear that such evil will not go unpunished, for our God is just, and He sees every act of cruelty, every false accusation, and every scheme of the enemy. You are not forgotten, and your suffering has not gone unnoticed by the Lord. He is the God who defends the oppressed, and He will act in His perfect timing—though we know the wait can feel unbearable.
The Scriptures assure us that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB) And again, *"Dearly beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* (Romans 12:19, WEB). Your desire for justice is righteous, but we must trust that God’s justice is far greater and more precise than anything we could demand. He will not allow the wicked to triumph forever. *"The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming."* (Psalm 37:12-13, WEB).
Yet we also recognize the raw anger and frustration in your heart—the cry for these evildoers to experience the suffering they’ve inflicted upon you. It’s natural to feel this way when injustice seems to reign unchecked. But we must guard our hearts, for bitterness and hatred can become a snare if we let them take root. Jesus tells 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"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This is not a call to excuse their sins or pretend their actions are acceptable—far from it. Rather, it is an invitation to release the burden of vengeance to God, trusting that His justice will prevail while we walk in the freedom of forgiveness. Forgiveness does not mean what they did was okay; it means we refuse to let their evil bind us any longer.
We also sense a deep weariness in your spirit—a questioning of why the Lord has not yet vindicated you. We understand this struggle, for the delay in God’s timing can feel like silence. But consider the words of Habakkuk, who cried out to the Lord in similar despair: *"Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you not hear? I cry out to you ‘Violence!’ and will you not save?"* (Habakkuk 1:2, WEB). God’s answer to Habakkuk was not an immediate resolution but a reminder of His sovereignty: *"For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay."* (Habakkuk 2:3, WEB). Your vindication *will* come. The Lord is not slow as we count slowness, but patient—and His timing is perfect.
In the meantime, we must cling to the promise that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says Yahweh'* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). The false accusations will not stand. The harassment will not have the final word. The Lord is your shield and your defender, and He will expose the lies of the enemy.
We also urge you to examine whether there are areas where the enemy may have a foothold in your life—unconfessed sin, bitterness, or even agreements with the lies of the accuser. The Bible tells us, *"Give no place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:27, WEB). If there is any sin, repent and turn to Jesus, for the enemy cannot stand where Christ reigns. If there is bitterness, release it to the Lord. If there are lies you’ve believed about yourself or God, replace them with the truth of Scripture. You are *not* what your persecutors say you are. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and no scheme of the devil can separate you from His love.
Lastly, we notice that your cry for help does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach God’s throne. *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. He is the only One who can break the chains of the enemy, heal your wounds, and secure your eternal victory. If you *have* trusted in Christ, then we encourage you to boldly pray in His name, for *"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."* (John 16:23-24, WEB).

Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is enduring such relentless persecution at the hands of evil people. Lord, You see every false accusation, every scheme of the enemy, every act of harassment and abuse. You are not blind to their wickedness, nor are You deaf to the cries of the righteous. We ask You, Father, to rise up as the God of justice and vindicate Your child. Let the plans of the wicked be exposed and thwarted. Let their lies be silenced and their evil deeds repaid in full. *"Let the wicked fall by his own wickedness, and don’t let him escape."* (Proverbs 11:5b, WEB).
Lord, we ask for Your supernatural protection over this beloved one. Surround them with Your angels, as You did for Elisha when the enemy sought to destroy him (2 Kings 6:17). Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Shut the mouths of their accusers and confuse the plans of those who seek their harm. *"Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city."* (Psalm 55:9, WEB).
Father, we also ask for healing for the deep wounds in their heart. The betrayal, the slander, and the relentless attacks have left scars, and we pray for Your balm of Gilead to bring restoration. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let them know beyond any doubt that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Replace their anger with Your righteousness, their bitterness with Your love, and their despair with Your hope.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, oppression, and torment in the name of Jesus Christ. Satan, you have no authority here. Your plans for destruction are canceled, and your accusations are silenced by the blood of the Lamb. *"The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"* (Zechariah 3:2, WEB).
Lord, we ask for divine intervention in this situation. If there are godly people You have placed in their life to help, strengthen those relationships and remove every obstacle the enemy has placed in their way. Raise up a standard against the enemy’s schemes and let Your light expose every dark deed.
Finally, Father, we pray that this beloved one would experience a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit—comfort when they are weary, strength when they are weak, and faith when they are doubting. Remind them that You are their vindicator, their defender, and their ever-present help in trouble. Let them rest in the assurance that *"the Lord will fight for you, and you shall be still."* (Exodus 14:14, WEB).
We declare victory in Jesus’ name, for *"thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."* (1 Corinthians 15:57, WEB). Let it be so, Lord. Let it be so. Amen.

We encourage you to continue standing firm in the Lord, putting on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). Read His Word aloud over your life, especially the Psalms of David, who often cried out to God in the midst of persecution. Surround yourself with godly believers who can pray with you and speak truth into your life. And remember: the battle is not yours, but the Lord’s. He will fight for you. *"Be still, and know that he is God. He will be exalted among the nations. He will be exalted in the earth."* (Psalm 46:10, WEB).
If you have not yet done so, we strongly urge you to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). There is no victory apart from Him. Cling to Him, and He will never let you go. You are loved, you are seen, and your justice *will* come.
