I pray they need my help. I pray the weep what they sowed for hurting me. I pray the truth comes out, and everything is exposed. I pray for peace. I want to let go.

We hear the pain in your prayer and we join with you in bringing this hurt before the Lord, for He sees what has been done to you and He cares deeply for your wounded heart. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18.
We understand the desire to see those who hurt you reap what they have sown and to weep over it, and to have the truth exposed. It is true that whatever a man sows, that he will also reap Galatians 6:7, and that there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light Luke 8:17. God is a God of truth and justice and nothing escapes His sight, and in His perfect time He will bring what is hidden into the light.
Yet we must gently rebuke the desire to see them suffer or to wish harm upon them, even out of deep pain. Vengeance belongs to the Lord and not to us. The scripture says, Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. We are instead called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us Matthew 5:44, and to overcome evil with good Romans 12:21. Holding onto a desire for them to weep keeps bitterness rooted in our own heart, and bitterness will rob us of the very peace we are seeking. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:31-32.
Your prayer for peace and your desire to let go is the path God wants for you, and it is a good and godly desire. True peace does not come from seeing others punished, but from releasing them into God's hands and receiving His forgiveness and healing for ourselves. If we forgive men their trespasses, our heavenly Father will also forgive us Matthew 6:14. Bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any, even as Christ forgave you, so you also do Colossians 3:13. When we release the debt, we are freed from the prison of resentment. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7, and it comes as we bring our anxieties to Him in prayer with thanksgiving Philippians 4:6.
We also notice your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to share with you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find true peace and salvation. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. 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. It was through the shedding of His blood on the cross and His resurrection that our own sins are forgiven, and that we are given the power to forgive others. If you have not yet placed your trust fully in Him, we encourage you to confess your sin, believe that Jesus died and rose again for you, and invite Him to be Lord of your life.
We pray together for you now.
Father, we lift this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. You have seen every hurt, every injustice, and every tear, and You know the longing for truth to be revealed. We ask that You bring truth to light in Your perfect wisdom and timing, and that You would execute justice according to Your righteousness, not ours. We ask that You soften our heart where there has been a desire for revenge, and forgive us for wishing harm upon those who have harmed us. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so we can release them into Your hands and pray for their repentance and salvation rather than their suffering. Lord, grant the deep peace that surpasses understanding, heal the brokenness, and teach us how to truly let go and forgive as You have forgiven us. Lead us to rest in Your love and to trust that You will work all things for good for those who love You. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and our peace, amen.
We encourage you to continue to pour out your heart honestly to God, to spend time in His Word daily, and to seek fellowship with mature believers who can walk with you toward forgiveness and healing. Do not let bitterness take root, but each time the pain rises, choose again to hand that person and that hurt over to Jesus. As you do, you will find the ability to let go is not in your own strength, but in His grace working within you.

We hear the ache in your words. Part of you wants to see those who hurt you face what they have done and for the truth to finally come into the light, and at the same time you are tired and longing for peace and a way to let go. Holding both of those desires at once is heavy, and we are glad you brought it honestly to God.
Wanting to let go does not mean what happened did not matter. Often the hurt stays because we keep going over it, hoping that seeing justice done will finally quiet the pain. Over time that resentment can wear us down more than it changes the other person, and it can keep our hearts hard when we most want softness and rest.
Letting go is usually not a single moment but a process. There is the decision to release the need to get even and to place justice in God's hands, and then there is the slower work of the heart where feelings of anger and bitterness are gradually eased as we keep turning to Him. Both matter, and both take time.
One simple step that may help is to notice when thoughts of payback rise and quietly name them before the Lord, telling Him you are choosing again to hand that person and that outcome to Him and asking for His peace in return.

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your heart has spoken very plainly and honestly before the Lord, and He hears the cry of those who are wounded and weary. You have been hurt, you long for truth to be brought into the light, and you long for peace and to be able to let go. That longing for peace is itself a mercy from God, for it draws you to the only place where true peace is to be found.
Scripture says, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Perfect peace is not found in seeing others reap what they have sown, nor even in seeing all things exposed before men, though God will in His own time bring truth to light. Perfect peace is found in staying your mind upon Christ Himself. The blood of Jesus whispers peace within, even in this dark world of sin, even with sorrows surging round.
There is a bitterness that comes from being sinned against, and it is heavy to carry. Yet one effect of tasting the bitterness of our own sin and then tasting the sweetness of Christ is that it takes away all bitterness against our fellow men. When we go down, down to nothing before God, then Christ goes up and is precious to us. You do not need to carry wrath to obtain justice. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will do what is right. The precept is good and kind to your own soul, "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." To let go is not to say the wrong was not wrong, but to place it into the hands of Him who judges righteously and who alone can heal.
Hear also this blessed word, "There is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared." There is forgiveness with God at this moment, for Jesus is always there. It is a divine forgiveness, a surprising forgiveness, a complete and eternal forgiveness for Christ's sake. If you have come to Him with a penitent heart, trembling and desiring mercy, He says, "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions." Believe in the forgiveness of sins for yourself, take the absolution and go your way in peace. Your faith has saved you, go in peace.
So I would pray for you in this way, that the Lord would keep your mind stayed upon Christ, that He would give you the peace of God which passes all understanding to guard your heart, that He would bring truth to light in His perfect wisdom and time, and that He would enable you to forgive even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. That forgiveness on your part will not be by your own strength, but as one who has first received mercy, you may release the burden and go in peace, not disturbed and fluttered, but resting in Him.
May you hear Christ say to you even now, "Go in peace," and may that word last you all your life, whether you lie down or rise up, whether among friends or among those who have hurt you. Rest in Him, trust in His blood and righteousness, and He will keep you in peace, peace.
