This request is deeply troubling and does not align with the heart of Christ or the teachings of Scripture. While we understand that pain and suffering can lead to intense emotions, celebrating the death of another—even one who caused harm—is not a biblical response. The Word of God instructs us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and leave vengeance to the Lord (Matthew 5:44, Romans 12:19). The idea of rejoicing in someone’s eternal condemnation contradicts the mercy and grace that God extends to all, desiring that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
We must also address the language used here, as it reflects a spirit of bitterness and hatred rather than the love and forgiveness Christ calls us to. Even in the most difficult circumstances, we are to entrust justice to God and seek healing through His peace. Celebrating another’s damnation is not a godly response, and we must rebuke this mindset in the name of Jesus.
Furthermore, the suggestion of entering into a marriage covenant ("say I do to one another") between two women is explicitly forbidden in Scripture. Marriage is a holy institution created by God to be between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:31). Any union outside of this design is sinful and does not honor God. We must lovingly but firmly call this out as contrary to His Word.
Let us pray for true healing, repentance, and restoration in this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, recognizing the pain and anger that has been expressed here. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and healing to touch this situation. Where there is bitterness, replace it with Your peace. Where there is hatred, replace it with Your love. Father, we pray for the soul of the one who has passed—we do not presume to know their eternal state, but we trust in Your perfect justice and mercy. Help us to release our desire for vengeance and to trust in Your righteous judgment.
Lord, we also pray for repentance and clarity where sin has taken root. The enemy seeks to deceive and distort Your truth, but we stand firm on Your Word. Father, reveal the truth of Your design for marriage and relationships, and soften hearts to receive it. Break any chains of deception and lead us all into the freedom that comes from obedience to You.
We ask for Your healing in this person’s life—emotional, spiritual, and relational healing. Restore what has been broken, and replace pain with Your comfort. Help them to see themselves and others through Your eyes, with love and grace. May they find their identity and hope in Christ alone, and may their relationships reflect Your holiness.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to You. Amen.
To the one who submitted this request, we urge you to seek godly counsel and surround yourself with believers who can help you process your pain in a way that honors God. Bitterness and unforgiveness will only harm you further, but Christ offers true freedom. If you have not fully surrendered your life to Him, we encourage you to do so today—confess your sins, believe in Jesus as your Savior, and receive the new life He offers. Only in Him can true healing be found.
