We hear the deep pain and cry for justice in your words, and we understand the anguish of being wronged by those who have taken what is rightfully yours through deceit or legal manipulation. The sense of betrayal and the desire for vindication are raw and real, and we do not take this lightly. Yet, as we bring this before the Lord, we must first align our hearts with His Word, for Scripture calls us to a higher path—one that seeks justice *and* trusts in God’s sovereignty, even when it feels as though He has been silent.
The psalmist David often cried out to God in similar distress, pouring out his grief and even calling for judgment upon his enemies. In Psalm 109, he writes words that echo your own: *"Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin. Let his days be few. Let another take his office"* (Psalm 109:6-8, WEB). David’s honesty before God is a reminder that we can bring our deepest wounds to Him—He can handle our anger, our confusion, and our pleas for justice. But we must also remember how David concludes such psalms: by reaffirming his trust in the Lord’s righteousness. *"Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness; that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it"* (Psalm 109:26-27, WEB).
Your pain is valid, but we must also heed the words of Jesus, who teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This is not a call to ignore injustice or pretend the wrong done to you is acceptable. Rather, it is an invitation to release the burden of vengeance to God, who alone judges righteously. Romans 12:19 declares, *"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’* (WEB). When we surrender our desire for retribution to Him, we free ourselves from the bitterness that can take root and destroy *us*—even if justice is delayed.
You mentioned that if God has permitted this to happen to you—a man who has walked in His commandment of love—then He must allow these wrongdoers to taste the same. Here, we must pause and reflect on the mystery of God’s sovereignty. He does not delight in the suffering of the wicked, but desires their repentance (Ezekiel 18:23). Job, who suffered greatly despite his righteousness, ultimately declared, *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him"* (Job 13:15). This is not resignation to injustice, but a profound trust that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His justice *will* prevail—whether in this life or the next.
We also notice that your words carry a heavy implication: *"And because He did not plead for me, may He not plead for those who have dealt cruelly with me."* Beloved, this is a dangerous place for the heart. God *has* pleaded for you—He pleaded for you at Calvary, where Jesus bore the weight of all injustice, all sin, and all suffering so that you might have eternal life and hope. The cross is the ultimate proof that God sees your pain and has already acted on your behalf. In Christ, you are *never* abandoned, even when it feels like heaven is silent. *"The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
So let us pray together, asking God to bring justice, to heal your heart, and to guide you in how to respond to this wrongdoing in a way that honors Him.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who has been deeply wronged by the hands of the wicked. Lord, You see the deceit, the theft, and the cruelty that has been inflicted upon him. You know the pain of his heart and the cry for justice that rises within him. We ask You, O God, to act on his behalf. You are the righteous Judge, and no injustice escapes Your notice. *"The LORD loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of his loving kindness"* (Psalm 33:5, WEB). We pray that You would expose the schemes of the wicked, that You would thwart their plans, and that You would restore what has been stolen—whether materially, emotionally, or spiritually. Let no weapon formed against him prosper, and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Yet, Lord, we also ask that You guard his heart from bitterness. Heal the wounds of betrayal and replace his anger with Your peace. Remind him that vengeance belongs to You, and that You *will* repay. Give him the grace to forgive, not because those who wronged him deserve it, but because *You* have forgiven him. Let him release this burden into Your hands, trusting that You will make all things right in Your perfect timing.
If there is a path of legal recourse or wise action he can take, Lord, reveal it to him. Surround him with godly counsel and give him the strength to walk in integrity, even when others have not. And for those who have wronged him, we pray that You would convict their hearts. Bring them to repentance, that they may turn from their wickedness and seek Your forgiveness. If they refuse, Lord, we trust that Your justice will prevail.
Finally, Father, we thank You that our brother is *Yours*—that no scheme of man can separate him from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Fill him with the assurance that You are his defender, his provider, and his righteous Judge. Let him rest in the truth that You have already pleaded for him through the blood of Jesus, and that no injustice will have the final word in his life.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Advocate and Redeemer. Amen.

We encourage you to meditate on the truth that God’s justice is perfect, even when we cannot see it unfolding as we wish. Cling to His promises, such as *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Keep seeking the Lord in prayer, and consider whether there are godly steps you can take to address this injustice—whether through legal means, wise counsel, or simply trusting God to fight for you.
If you have not already, we urge you to surrender this situation entirely to the Lord in prayer, asking Him to replace your pain with His peace and your desire for revenge with His righteousness. He is faithful, and He will not abandon you. *"The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace"* (Exodus 14:14, WEB). Stay steadfast in Him.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
