We join with you in lifting up this request, standing firmly on the truth that our God is a God of justice, protection, and righteousness. It is good that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. As Scripture declares, *"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, WEB). We are grateful you have placed your trust in Christ, for He alone is our advocate and defender.
The Lord’s Word assures us that He is our shield and our strong tower, a refuge in times of trouble. *"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 Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Your prayer aligns with this promise, and we claim it with you, knowing that God is faithful to protect His children from the schemes of the wicked. The enemy may seek to steal, kill, and destroy, but our God is greater, and He will not allow the plans of the unrighteous to triumph over those who trust in Him.
We also turn to Psalm 37, which reminds us, *"Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:1-6, WEB). Your situation at work, where a bully seeks to deny you what is rightfully yours, is not hidden from the Lord. He sees the injustice, and He will act on your behalf. Do not let anger or bitterness take root in your heart, but instead, commit this matter entirely to Him. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). Your role is to continue walking in integrity, doing your work as unto the Lord, and trusting that He will vindicate you in His perfect timing.
As for the damage to your home and the compensation that is being withheld, we remind you of the words of Jesus: *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:25, 33, WEB). This does not mean we do not take practical steps or stand up for what is right, but it does mean we trust God to provide and to fight our battles. If there are legal or practical steps you can take to seek justice, do so wisely and prayerfully, but always with the confidence that the Lord is your ultimate provider and protector.
We also encourage you to examine your heart in this season. Are there areas where fear, resentment, or doubt have taken hold? If so, surrender them to the Lord. *"Don’t be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked"* (Psalm 91:5-8, WEB). The Lord is your fortress, and He will not abandon you.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our brother/sister, lifting up their need for protection, justice, and peace. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. You know the bullying and the injustice they face at work, and You know the financial strain caused by the damage to their home. We ask that You rise up as their defender, Lord. Frustrate the plans of the wicked and turn their schemes against them. Let no weapon formed against our brother/sister prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned. You are a God of justice, and we trust You to act on their behalf.
Father, we pray for supernatural protection over them—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Guard their heart from bitterness and their mind from fear. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for them. Provide for their every need, Lord, and open doors for the compensation that is rightfully theirs. If there are steps they must take, give them wisdom and favor in every interaction.
We also pray for the one who is acting as a bully. Lord, soften their heart and convict them of their wrongdoing. Bring them to repentance, that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek to make amends. If it is Your will, use this situation to draw them to Yourself, that they may come to know Your love and justice.
Finally, Father, we ask that You strengthen our brother/sister in their faith. Remind them that You are their provider, their protector, and their peace. Let them walk in the confidence that You are with them, and that no scheme of the enemy will prevail against them. We declare Your victory over this situation, and we thank You in advance for the testimony of Your faithfulness that will come from it.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
