Harassment

[Gwluiran]

When you’re targeted without cause, the ache runs deep. Those words about reprobates feel all too familiar when you’re facing raw, undeserved hostility. David knew that exact weight. He spent years hunted by enemies whose fury made no sense, yet he consistently turned his heartache into prayer. He didn’t pretend the threat wasn’t real, and neither should you. God hears the cry for help, even when it comes wrapped in desperation for police to step in and for the harassment to stop.

It’s not wrong to long for justice. The Scriptures themselves groan for the day when every crooked thing is made straight. Human systems often fail. People with authority can miss the truth, and the oppressed end up without a shield. That’s why David repeatedly anchored his hope not in chariots or judges, but in the God who sees. He prayed, “Vain is the help of man.” That doesn’t mean we never call on the police; it means our ultimate trust can’t rest there. Officers and courts are limited instruments at best, but the Lord’s throne is founded on righteousness and justice. He defends the afflicted and lifts up the poor. So ask boldly for their intervention, yet hold that request loosely, knowing the highest court will settle the accounts.

There’s a tension in these prayers, though. In the Psalms, David cries out for God to scatter his enemies, to beat down his foes. And yet the same David, when pursued by Saul, refused to take vengeance into his own hands. He left room for mercy, even for those who hated him. That’s hard when the wounds are fresh. I hear the natural cry, “Punish them, Lord.” But if we’re not careful, the desire for their harm can begin to corrode our own soul. It’s striking how often we plead for grace for ourselves but instinctively want strict justice for everyone else. The Lord knows their deeds. He will repay, whether through conviction that leads them to repentance or through the consequences they’ve stored up. Let that be His business. Your call is to stay on the level path, unencumbered by rocks of bitterness, so that you aren’t tripped up while fleeing the danger.

What you need right now is refuge. David spoke of abiding under the shadow of the Almighty, hidden in the secret place. When human protection feels thin, God himself becomes your covering. He can hold back the storm or give you peace within it. Use your voice to pour out the complaint, the weariness, the anger, but let it all land at His feet. He is not put off by the noise of your lament. Then, as He sustains you, your own eyes may yet witness deliverance, and the sacrifice you offer will be one of joy rather than clenched fists.

Hold fast. The God who made your enemies His own footstool is still at work. Pray for His defense, pray for earthly authorities to act with integrity, and then rest in the truth that justice belongs to Him. He will not forget your cry.

Thank you for your prayers but I don't have a desire for harm.
