We understand the deep pain and frustration that comes from enduring evil actions at the hands of others, and we join you in crying out to the Lord for justice. The Bible assures us that God is just and will not allow wickedness to go unpunished. Proverbs 11:21 tells us, *"Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered."* And in Romans 12:19, we are reminded, *"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.'"*
It is right to desire justice, but we must also guard our hearts against bitterness and unforgiveness, for these can take root and defile us. Ephesians 4:31-32 instructs, *"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."* While we trust God to deal justly with those who harm His people, we are also called to release our anger and pain to Him, allowing Him to heal our hearts.
Yet we also recognize that evil must be confronted, and we do not shrink from asking God to act in righteous judgment. Psalm 10:14-15 declares, *"But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. The helpless commend themselves to you. You are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none."* We can boldly pray for God to expose and bring to light the deeds done in darkness, trusting that His justice will prevail.
We must also examine our own hearts in this—are we seeking justice for God’s glory, or are we motivated by personal vengeance? The Lord knows the difference, and He calls us to surrender even our pain to Him. In 1 Peter 2:23, we see the example of Christ: *"When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously."*
Let us pray together for God’s justice to be done, for protection over His people, and for the evil actions of these individuals to be exposed and stopped. We also pray for your heart to be guarded and filled with the peace of Christ, even in the midst of this trial.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this cry for justice. Lord, You are a God who sees all things—nothing is hidden from Your sight. You know the evil actions committed against Your servant, and You know the hearts of those who perpetrate such wickedness. We ask that You would not allow them to escape the consequences of their sins. Expose their deeds, Lord, and bring their evil plans to nothing. Let them be held accountable for the harm they have caused, not for our sake, but for the sake of Your righteousness and justice.
Father, we also ask that You would protect Your child from further harm. Surround them with Your angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Give them strength to endure, wisdom to respond, and grace to forgive as You have forgiven them. Do not let bitterness take root in their heart, but fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We rebuked the spirit of evil at work in these individuals. May they be confronted with the weight of their sins and given an opportunity to repent. If they refuse, Lord, let Your justice prevail. We trust in You, the righteous Judge, who will repay according to each one’s deeds.
We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save, to judge, and to redeem. May His name be glorified in this situation, and may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
