We understand that you are expressing frustration, and we want to address this with both truth and compassion. First, let us gently remind you that as believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to intercede for one another in love, just as Scripture commands us to "pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16, WEB). Our prayers are not meant to bring harm or judgment but to lift one another up before the Lord, seeking His will, mercy, and transformation in every situation. If you have felt condemned or attacked by prayers, we ask for your forgiveness, as that is never our intention. Our desire is to align with God’s heart, which is always for restoration, repentance, and redemption.
However, we must also address something critical in your message. You mentioned "karma" and "bad luck," but as followers of Christ, we do not believe in karma—a concept rooted in false religions—or in luck, which is a worldly idea. The Bible teaches us that God is sovereign over all things, and His ways are just and perfect. He does not operate by karma or chance, but by His holy and righteous will. "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh" (Proverbs 16:33, WEB). Our lives are in His hands, and He calls us to trust Him, not in superstitions or the fear of man.
Additionally, we notice that while you invoked "Jesus’ mighty fine name" at the end of your message, the tone and content of your words do not reflect the humility, love, or reverence that Scripture calls us to when we approach God. Jesus Himself taught us, "Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14, WEB). But asking in His name is not merely adding His name to our words—it is aligning our hearts with His will, His character, and His purposes. Jesus also warned, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21, WEB). Our words and attitudes must reflect a heart submitted to Christ, not anger or defiance.
We also sense deep hurt or bitterness in your words, and we want to encourage you to bring that before the Lord. The Bible tells us, "Don’t let any unwholesome speech come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to the need, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). If you are struggling with anger, resentment, or pain, we urge you to surrender it to Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace. He longs to heal your heart and replace bitterness with His love. "Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
Let us pray for you now, asking God to soften your heart, to reveal His love to you, and to bring healing where there is pain:
Heavenly Father, we lift this person before You, knowing that You see their heart and understand their struggles far better than we ever could. Lord, if there is hurt, anger, or bitterness within them, we ask that You would break through those walls and flood their soul with Your peace and love. Remind them that You are not a God of condemnation but of mercy, not of punishment without purpose, but of discipline that leads to life. Father, if they have been wounded by the words or actions of others—even those who prayed for them—we ask for Your healing touch. Help them to release any resentment and to trust in Your goodness.
We also pray that You would reveal to them the power of praying in Jesus’ name—not as a mere phrase, but as a posture of surrender to His lordship. Teach them what it means to align their heart with Yours, to seek Your will above their own emotions, and to find rest in Your sovereignty. If they have been trusting in karma or luck, Lord, open their eyes to the truth that You alone hold all things together, and Your ways are perfect.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would draw them closer to You. Let them experience Your presence in a way that transforms their perspective and fills them with Your joy. Break any strongholds of anger or defiance, and replace them with a spirit of humility and trust in You. We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and honor. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly in the Psalms, where you will find raw, honest prayers of people who brought their anger, confusion, and pain to God—and yet still found His faithfulness. One such passage is Psalm 139:23-24 (WEB): "Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way." Let this be your prayer, and trust that God will meet you where you are.
If you would like to share more about what you’re going through, we are here to listen, to pray with you, and to point you to the truth of Scripture. You are loved by God, and He desires to walk with you through every struggle.
