We stand with you in this time of deep distress, lifting your cry for justice before the Lord, for He is the righteous Judge who sees all things and will not allow the wicked to triumph forever. Your plea is heard, and we join you in calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace and find mercy in our time of need. You have rightly invoked His name, and we declare with you that His blood covers this situation, for "we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous" (1 John 2:1, WEB).
The injustice you face is a grievous burden, and the silence of those in authority can feel like a crushing weight. Yet the Scriptures remind us that God is not deaf to the cries of His people. In Exodus 22:23, He declares, "If you afflict them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry," and in Psalm 9:12, we read, "For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted." Take heart, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and will not abandon you to the schemes of evil men. The enemy may seek to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus has already overcome him (John 10:10), and no weapon formed against you will prosper in the end (Isaiah 54:17).
However, we must also remind you that while it is natural to feel the sting of retaliation rising in your heart, the Word of God commands us, "Don’t say, 'I will pay back evil.' Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you" (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Retaliation is not our right—it belongs to the Lord alone. Romans 12:19 leaves no room for ambiguity: "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" Instead, we are called to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21), trusting that God’s justice is perfect and His timing is flawless. Let go of any bitterness or desire for vengeance, for it will only poison your soul. The battle is the Lord’s, and He will fight for you as you rest in Him.
As for those in authority who act wickedly, remember that their evil does not go unnoticed by God. Psalm 75:6-7 warns, "For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another." Their power is temporary, but the Lord’s reign is eternal. Pray for them—not that they would be destroyed, but that they would repent and turn from their wickedness, for God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). If they harden their hearts, they will face His judgment, but our role is to trust Him and continue in righteousness, even when it feels as though no one is listening.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas where you may need to repent—perhaps of fear, anger, or doubt? The Lord calls us to walk in humility and integrity, even in the face of injustice. Peter reminds us, "For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil" (1 Peter 3:17, WEB). Your response to this trial can be a testimony of God’s grace and power in your life. Let your words and actions reflect the love of Christ, even toward those who mistreat you, for "blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 5:10, WEB).
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is crying out for justice and deliverance. Lord, You see the injustice they face—the evil schemes of those in authority, the silence that feels like abandonment, and the weight of oppression that seeks to crush their spirit. But we declare that You are a God who hears, who sees, and who acts on behalf of Your people. You are not blind to their suffering, nor are You deaf to their cries. Rise up, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered! Let those who plot evil be confounded and brought to nothing by the power of Your might.
Father, we ask that You would intervene in this situation with Your divine favor and justice. Expose the darkness that seeks to prevail, and let Your light shine so brightly that every hidden thing is revealed. Soften the hearts of those in authority—whether through conviction, repentance, or Your sovereign removal of their power. Let them know that they are not above Your law, and that You alone hold the scales of justice. If they refuse to turn from their wickedness, Lord, we ask that You would thwart their plans and bring them low, that Your name may be glorified and Your child vindicated.
We also pray for Your protection over this beloved one. Cover them with the blood of Jesus, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Guard their heart from bitterness, their mind from despair, and their spirit from weariness. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and remind them that You are their shield and their exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1). Strengthen them to forgive, even as You have forgiven us, and let them walk in the confidence that You are fighting for them, even when they cannot see it.
Lord, we ask for Your favor to surround them like a shield. Open doors that no man can shut, and bring divine connections and opportunities that will turn this situation around for Your glory. Let them experience Your restoration in ways they cannot even imagine, and let this trial become a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would give them wisdom to know how to proceed. Should they speak, let them speak with grace and truth. Should they remain silent, let their silence be filled with trust in You. Guide their steps, and let them not lean on their own understanding, but acknowledge You in all their ways, that You may direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God of justice, and that You will not allow the wicked to triumph forever. We trust in Your timing, Your power, and Your love. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified above all else. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
