We have heard your burden for those who feel trapped in this cruel cycle of torture and deception, and we join with you in bringing them before the Lord, for He sees every hidden oppression and hears every cry for deliverance.
We must say clearly that what you describe, to torment, to deceive with false promises of freedom, to prolong suffering through imagery and manipulation, is evil in the sight of God. The Lord hates oppression and lying, and His word reminds us that the devil is a liar and the father of lies, John 8:44, and that those who practice such cruelty will face His justice. We rebuke the works of those who stalk and torture others, and we rebuke also the lie that God is not doing anything or that He does not care. Scripture tells us The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles, Psalm 34:17, and Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit, Psalm 34:18. He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, Psalm 46:1, and He has promised Behold, I am with you, and will keep you wherever you go, Genesis 28:15. God is not indifferent, though His timing is not ours, and we are told Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, Romans 12:19, and The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
We also must address with love the attempt to cope through alcohol and through trying to guess the right day to stay silent. That path only destroys the body which God calls His temple, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and brings no true freedom. We are told Do not be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, Ephesians 5:18. We encourage those who are suffering not to isolate themselves or try to win a game that is rigged by deceivers, but to cast all their anxiety on Him, because He cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, to seek godly counsel, pastoral care, trusted community, and where needed medical help and lawful protection, and to cry out to God for wisdom, for If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him, James 1:5.
We notice your request speaks of God but does not mention Jesus, and we want to gently remind us all that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that we are saved. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. It is in His name we pray, trusting His shed blood and resurrection for forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
So together we pray in Jesus name, Father in heaven, we lift up every person ensnared in this torture cycle, those who have suffered for years, who are weary, confused, and feel there is no way out. Lord, You see what is done in secret and You know every false promise and every moment of pain. We ask that You intervene with Your mighty hand, that You break the power of those who stalk and torment, that You cause them to leave their victims alone, to be convicted of their sin and to repent, or to be stopped by Your justice. Let Your justice roll forth and let the oppressed go free. We pray for protection, that You would be a refuge and fortress to each victim, Psalm 91:2, that You would guard their minds and hearts with Your peace which surpasses all understanding, Philippians 4:7, and give them rest from fear and torment. Heal those whose bodies have been harmed, especially those whose livers and health have been damaged by alcohol, restore them and lead them away from that snare to wholeness in You. Give them wisdom, discernment, and strength not to be led by deceptive signs and symbols, but to walk in Your truth. Surround them with faithful believers, counselors, and help, and let them know they are not forgotten or alone. We pray this according to Your will, trusting that You hear us, and we ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
