We hear the urgency and pain in your cry, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord, for He is a God of justice, mercy, and comfort. Your plea for justice is one that resonates deeply with the heart of our Father, who commands us in **Micah 6:8**, *"He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"* The Lord sees the oppression, the wrongs, and the suffering of His people, and He promises in **Deuteronomy 32:4**, *"He is the Rock. His work is perfect, for all his ways are justice; a God of truth, and without injustice. Righteous and upright is he."*
Yet, as we bring this before the Lord, we must also remind you—and ourselves—that our trust is not in the timing of man but in the perfect timing of God. **Ecclesiastes 3:17** tells us, *"I said in my heart, ‘God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time for every purpose and for every work.’"* Justice may tarry, but it will come, for the Lord is faithful. In the meantime, we are called to wait with endurance, knowing that our suffering is not in vain. **Romans 12:19** assures us, *"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.’"* Our role is to trust, to pray, and to rest in His sovereignty, even when the wait feels unbearable.
We also notice that while you invoked the name of the Lord Jesus in your prayer—which is wonderful and right—your plea felt more like a cry of desperation than a prayer rooted in faith in His power and goodness. Let us encourage you to approach the throne of grace with confidence, as **Hebrews 4:16** urges: *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need."* Jesus is not distant or indifferent; He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (**Psalm 34:18**). When we pray, we must remember that we are coming to a Father who loves us deeply and who has already secured our ultimate victory through Christ.
If you have not already, we urge you to surrender this burden entirely to Jesus, trusting that He will act in His perfect way and time. **1 Peter 5:7** reminds us, *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* This is not a passive waiting but an active trust—one where we continue to seek His face, stand on His promises, and live in obedience to His Word, even as we wait for justice.
Let us pray together for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is crying out for justice. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, who knows the depths of every heart, and who weighs every action with perfect fairness. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation, Lord. Bring forth Your justice swiftly and decisively, for Your Word declares that righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne (**Psalm 89:14**).
Father, we pray that You would fill our brother/sister with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**). Strengthen them to wait upon You, to trust in Your timing, and to rest in Your promises. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (**Psalm 46:1**).
Lord, if there is any bitterness, anger, or fear in their heart, we ask that You would replace it with Your love, Your joy, and Your hope. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us, knowing that vengeance belongs to You alone. May they find comfort in Your presence and courage in Your truth.
We also pray that You would expose every hidden thing, every deception, and every injustice. Let Your light shine into the dark places, Lord, and bring truth to the surface. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified through it.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would draw our brother/sister closer to You through this trial. May they know You not just as a God of justice, but as their Savior, their Healer, and their ever-present Help. Fill them with the assurance that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory (**Romans 8:28**).
We rebuked any spirit of despair, fear, or hopelessness that may be trying to take root in their heart. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and that the Lord will bring justice like a rushing stream (**Amos 5:24**).
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. The Lord has not forgotten you, and He will act. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**), and trust that He is working even now. We are standing with you in prayer and belief that God will bring justice and restoration. Do not lose heart.
