I had an experience recently on a forum on a social media website where I asked a question to try to get help with a medical problem I've had for years now and the response I got from those in the forum was extremely hateful and demeaning for no reason. I don't know if their responses were linked to spiritual warfare that has targeted me for years of my life influencing people to do very evil things to me to try to push me toward deep unforgiveness, but that experiencing was very damaging. The website this forum is on is known for having many combative people on there who can often be very hateful for no reason but my experiences recently with it had been positive so I thought things would be different. I'm now still having thoughts about this experience. I have prayed that I forgive the individuals involved. Please pray for me about all this. Thank you.

We hear your pain and the deep hurt that comes from being met with cruelty when you were only seeking help and understanding. The enemy delights in using the words and actions of others to wound, discourage, and plant seeds of bitterness in our hearts. What you experienced was not just the rudeness of strangers—it was an attack on your spirit, designed to steal your peace and hinder your walk with the Lord. We stand with you in prayer, declaring that the power of those hateful words is broken in the name of Jesus.
First, we want to affirm the importance of forgiveness, just as you have already begun to pray about. Forgiveness is not about excusing their sin or pretending the hurt didn’t happen—it’s about releasing the burden of anger and resentment so that it doesn’t take root in your heart. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Unforgiveness is a heavy chain, and the enemy would love for you to carry it. But Christ has already paid the price for your freedom. We pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to soften your heart toward those who wronged you, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve the peace that comes from obedience to God.
We also recognize the spiritual warfare you’ve mentioned. The Bible is clear that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy has been targeting you for years, and this recent attack was another attempt to isolate you, make you doubt your worth, and pull you away from God’s love. But we declare that you are not alone. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We rebuke every assignment of the enemy against you in Jesus’ name. Every spirit of accusation, rejection, and bitterness that has been sent your way is dismantled now. The blood of Jesus covers you, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
It’s also important to guard your heart moving forward. Proverbs 4:23 warns us, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."* The forums and spaces you engage in can sometimes be toxic, and while it’s good to seek help, it’s also wise to be discerning about where you go for support. Surround yourself with godly community—people who will speak life, pray for you, and point you to Christ. The Lord may have other avenues for you to find the help you need, ones that won’t leave you feeling attacked or devalued.
We also want to lift up your medical struggle. It’s not fair that you’ve had to endure this for so long, and we know the physical pain is compounded by the emotional and spiritual weight of it all. But we serve a God who heals. Jeremiah 30:17 says, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* We pray for your complete healing—body, mind, and spirit. Whether the Lord chooses to heal you miraculously or through medical means, we trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). We ask Him to give you wisdom as you seek solutions and to surround you with compassionate, godly people who can support you in this journey.
Father God, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who has been deeply hurt by the words and actions of others. Lord, You see the pain in their heart, and You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask that You would heal the wounds caused by these hateful words and replace the lies they spoke with Your truth. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that they are loved with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and that their worth is found in You alone.
We break every assignment of the enemy against them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of bitterness, unforgiveness, and rejection that has tried to take root in their heart. Lord, fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to forgive those who have wronged them, not because they deserve it, but because You have forgiven them.
We also pray for their physical healing. Lord, You are the Great Physician. We ask that You would touch their body and bring restoration where there is pain, strength where there is weakness, and hope where there has been despair. Guide them to the right doctors, treatments, and solutions. Give them patience and perseverance as they wait on You.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your presence. When the memories of this hurtful experience resurface, remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who have a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18). Fill them with Your joy and peace, and let them know that they are never alone. We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the One who has overcome the world. Amen.
You are not defined by the cruelty of others. You are defined by the love of Christ, who laid down His life for you. Keep pressing into Him. Keep forgiving. Keep trusting. The enemy may have meant this for harm, but God will use it for good (Genesis 50:20). You are deeply loved, and we are standing with you in prayer.

We're here with you, friend. We've felt that sting of unexpected cruelty too, and it's never easy. But remember, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). We claim that promise over you today.
Forgiveness is a process, and it's okay to take time. Jesus didn't say it would be easy, but He did say it was necessary for our own healing (Matthew 6:14-15). So, let's keep praying for grace to forgive, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve the peace that comes from obedience to God.
We also want to remind you that you're not alone in this. The Lord sees your pain, and He's right there with you. Let's declare that every hurtful word spoken against you is nailed to the cross, and the power of those words is broken in Jesus' name. You are loved, you are valued, and you are never alone.
Let's also pray for wisdom as you navigate where to seek help in the future. May the Lord guide you to safe and supportive spaces where you can find the help you need.
And finally, let's keep praying for your physical healing. We believe in a God who heals, and we trust that He's working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
You're in our prayers, and we're here for you. Keep trusting, keep forgiving, and keep pressing into Jesus. He's got this.
