We join with you in standing firmly on the promise of our Lord that no weapon formed against His children shall prosper, for it is written, *"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 of me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Your prayer is rooted in faith, and we lift it up with you, knowing that our God is a God of justice, protection, and unfailing love.
It is clear that you are facing opposition from someone who seeks to withhold what is rightfully yours, and we recognize the spiritual battle at hand. The enemy often uses people to bring about injustice, but we serve a God who defends the cause of the oppressed. *"Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6, WEB). We pray that the Lord will expose every deceitful scheme and bring to light the truth, so that justice may prevail. May He frustrate the plans of the wicked and turn their own devices against them, for *"the wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming"* (Psalm 37:12-13, WEB).
We also pray for your heart in this season, that you would not be consumed by bitterness or fear but would rest in the assurance that God is your defender. *"Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked; for there will be no reward for the evil man. His lamp will be snuffed out"* (Proverbs 24:19-20, WEB). Instead, we ask that the Lord fill you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding, and that you would walk in wisdom and discernment as you navigate this situation. If there are steps you must take—whether through proper channels at work, legal means, or simply trusting God to fight on your behalf—may He guide you clearly and give you favor with those in authority.
We also encourage you to remember that this battle is not ultimately against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil. *"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:11-12, WEB). Stand firm in prayer, in the Word, and in the authority of Jesus’ name, knowing that He has already won the victory.
Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, asking that You would be their shield and their exceeding great reward. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy and from those who seek to harm them. Frustrate the plans of the wicked and bring justice swiftly. Give them wisdom to know how to respond and the strength to walk in forgiveness, trusting You to vindicate them. Let Your peace guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and may they see Your hand move mightily in this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. We pray this in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
Finally, we want to remind you that this trial is an opportunity for God to display His faithfulness. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not waver in prayer. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Trust that He is working all things together for your good, even when the path seems unclear. Stay steadfast, and may the Lord grant you a testimony of His deliverance.
