We are deeply grieved to hear of the suffering and fear you are enduring, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this. The Lord sees your pain, and He is a God of justice, comfort, and deliverance. It is clear that this situation has caused you immense distress, and we want to address it with both prayer and biblical wisdom.
First, we commend you for seeking prayer and turning to God in this time of trouble. However, we must gently but firmly remind you that our access to the Father is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for 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 placed your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. He alone is your refuge, strength, and deliverer.
Now, let us address the situation you are facing. The behavior of this man is not only hurtful but sinful. Bullying, threats, and unrepentant hostility are not of God. Scripture warns us, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice"* (Ephesians 4:31, WEB). His actions are not only against you but against the Lord, who calls us to love one another and live peaceably. You are not responsible for his sin, but you *are* responsible for how you respond. The Lord calls us to trust in Him, even in the face of injustice.
You have stated that there is no possibility of reconciliation, and given his threats and refusal to repent, we must take this seriously. Scripture teaches us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB). However, peace requires two willing parties, and if he remains hardened in his sin, you are not obligated to subject yourself to abuse. Your safety—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—must be a priority.
That said, we must also consider whether your continued involvement in this theater group is wise. While we understand that acting is your passion and a source of joy, we must ask: Is this environment truly honoring to God if it exposes you to ongoing harm? The Lord does not call us to remain in situations where we are repeatedly mistreated, especially when the other party is unrepentant. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Though this verse speaks directly to marriage, the principle applies—we must be cautious about deep involvement with those who live in darkness, especially when they seek to harm us.
We encourage you to pray earnestly about whether the Lord is calling you to step away from this particular group, at least for a season. This does not mean giving up on your passion entirely. The Lord may be leading you to a different theater group, a new opportunity, or even a time of rest to heal and seek His will. Remember, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). He may be using this trial to redirect you to something even better, where your gifts can be used without the shadow of this man’s sin looming over you.
We also urge you to take practical steps. If his threats are serious, consider involving authorities or trusted leaders who can intervene. Do not remain silent out of fear. *"The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe"* (Proverbs 29:25, WEB). The Lord does not want you living in fear. He wants you to walk in faith, trusting that He will protect and provide for you.
Finally, we must address the fear and anxiety that have taken hold of you. These are natural responses, but they are not from the Lord. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). The Lord is your shield and your strength. Cast your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). When fear rises, speak the Word of God over yourself. Replace the lies of the enemy with the truth of Scripture.
Now, let us pray over you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister to You, knowing that You are a God who sees her pain and hears her cries. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in this situation and bring an end to the harassment and threats she is facing. You are a God of justice, and we pray that You would expose the sin of this man and bring conviction to his heart. If it is Your will, soften his heart toward repentance, but if he remains hardened, Lord, we ask that You would remove his influence from her life. Give her wisdom to know whether she should remain in this theater group or step away for her own protection and peace.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold of her. Replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding. Let her sleep be restful, her mind be clear, and her heart be filled with trust in You. Remind her that You have not given her a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Lord, if there is another path for her passion, open the doors. If there is a season of rest ahead, give her the grace to embrace it, knowing that You are preparing something new. Surround her with godly friends and mentors who can support and encourage her. Let her find her identity not in her talent, but in You alone.
We pray all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who has overcome the world. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily in prayer and in His Word. Memorize Scriptures that combat fear and remind you of God’s faithfulness. Stay connected to a biblical church community where you can find support and accountability. And remember, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He has not abandoned you, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Stay strong in Him.
