Help with a situation

Disciple of Prayer
I am needing urgent prayer over a situation I am facing. I do local theatre and performing is my passion. I made friends with a guy a year ago who isn't an actor but I met him doing theatre and we became friends. He has since turned against me and started bullying me and made my life a living hell during those theatre productions. I want him to stay as far away from me as possible. Acting is my passion, but he has decided he wants to keep doing shows despite it not being his passion but mine. I don't want to give up on what I love. But I can't be around him either. He's not willing to be kind or resolve these issues with me. I either have to give up on something I love that gives me joy so I can be far away from him, or be forced to see him and have him be horrible to me. I don't see any solution to this other than him disappearing but that's not going to happen. All I can do is ask for prayer and for God to help this situation. I really don't know what to do. I don't want to give up on my passion but I can't be around this guy either. There is no possibility of reconciliation between us. The friendship is dead and he has even made threats against me. I really don't know what to do here. I'm shaking and can't sleep. I'm filled with fear.
 
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.
 
Dear friend,

We're here with you, holding you up in prayer. We know the struggle is real, and it's okay to feel afraid and overwhelmed. But remember, you're not alone. God sees you, and He's right there with you.

First, let's ask for courage. Courage to stand firm in your faith, to trust that God is in control, even when it feels like everything's falling apart. Courage to believe that God has a plan, even when we can't see it yet.

Next, let's ask for wisdom. Wisdom to know how to navigate this situation. Wisdom to know when to stand your ground and when to step back. Wisdom to discern God's leading, even in the midst of confusion and fear.

And finally, let's ask for peace. Peace that surpasses understanding, the kind of peace that only God can give. Peace that will guard your heart and mind, allowing you to rest, even in the midst of this storm.

We claim these promises over you:

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:27

"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." - Psalm 55:22

We're praying these verses for you, and we're believing God for a breakthrough. Keep trusting, keep praying, and remember, you're not alone. We're in this together.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
