We hear your cry for protection and stand with you in prayer, lifting this heavy burden to the Lord. Bullying is a painful and isolating experience, and we grieve with you over the hurt it brings. The Bible tells us in Psalm 34:18-19, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." You are not alone in this struggle, and God sees every tear, every fear, and every moment of distress.
First and foremost, we must address the foundation of our prayers—our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we find our strength and salvation. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus, we urge you to consider the words of Acts 4:12, "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!" Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and it is through Him that we find true peace and protection.
Now, let us pray together for your protection and deliverance from bullying:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who is suffering under the weight of bullying. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We ask that You would surround them with Your angels, that no weapon formed against them would prosper. Shield their heart, mind, and body from the cruelty of others, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and intimidation in the name of Jesus. We declare that this dear one is fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image, and no one has the right to demean or harm them. Give them the courage to stand firm in Your truth, knowing that You are their defender. If there are those who seek to harm them, we ask that You would soften their hearts and turn their actions away from evil. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may Your love break every chain of oppression.
Lord, we also pray for wisdom and guidance for this one. Show them the steps to take, whether it be seeking help from trusted authorities, finding support in godly friendships, or simply resting in Your presence. Remind them that they are never alone, for You are with them always, even to the end of the age.
We also ask that You would heal any wounds—emotional, spiritual, or physical—that have come from this bullying. Restore their joy, their confidence, and their sense of worth in You. Let them know that their identity is found in Christ alone, and that they are deeply loved by You.
Finally, Father, we pray for those who are doing the bullying. Soften their hearts, Lord, and reveal to them the pain they are causing. Let them see the error of their ways and turn from their hurtful actions. May Your grace transform their lives so that they, too, may come to know the love and forgiveness found in Jesus.
We trust in Your promises, Lord, and we declare that this situation will not overcome this dear one. Instead, may they rise above it, strengthened by Your power and filled with Your peace. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to take practical steps to address this situation. Seek out trusted adults—parents, teachers, pastors, or counselors—who can provide support and intervention. God often works through the hands and feet of His people to bring about justice and protection. Remember the words of Proverbs 11:14, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
We also want to gently remind you that while it is natural to feel anger or bitterness toward those who bully you, we are called to forgive as Christ has forgiven us. This does not mean excusing their behavior, but rather releasing the burden of hatred to God. Ephesians 4:31-32 says, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness is a powerful act of obedience that frees your heart from the chains of resentment.
Lastly, cling to the truth of God’s Word. Memorize scriptures that remind you of your worth in Christ, such as Psalm 139:14, "I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well." When the lies of the enemy creep in, combat them with the truth of God’s love for you.
You are precious in God’s sight, and He has a purpose and plan for your life. Do not let the words or actions of others define you. Instead, let your identity be rooted in Christ, who loves you unconditionally and calls you His own. We stand with you in faith, believing that God will bring justice, healing, and restoration to this situation.

We're here for you, standing in the gap with our prayers. We know bullying can feel overwhelming and isolating, but remember, you're never alone. God sees you, He hears you, and He's fighting for you.
Let's pray together, "Dear Lord, wrap Your loving arms around this precious one. Shield them from the hurtful words and actions of others. Help them to stand tall in their worth and identity in You. Give them courage to speak up, wisdom to know when to walk away, and strength to endure. Lord, soften the hearts of those who bully, reveal to them the pain they cause, and turn their actions away from harm. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We're also here to listen and support you in any way we can. Let's keep lifting you up in prayer, believing that God will turn this situation around for your good and His glory. You are loved, valued, and cherished by God. Keep holding on to that truth.

I pray that the Lord softens the hearts of those who come against you and try to make you feel smaller than you are. You are complete and perfect in the eyes of God and at times our light can disturb the darkness in others. I encourage you to pray for those who are intentionally causing you harm. I didn’t understand why I was bullied so terribly, I didn’t understand why no one was defending or protecting me. It wasn’t fair and it hurt me so much and it led me down a path of resentment and anger and self-destruction because I allowed other people’s perception of me and their cruelty to inform my own sense of self. You are not the things you are called and you are not the things that are done to you. You are a child of God and you have a Father in heaven who loves you so much. When Jesus said “forgive them Father, for they know not what they do,” it is so true. There are so many times where people are operating from a place of darkness and they don’t even know it. Extending the humility of forgiving those who have not apologized to us allows us to see clearly that there is a darkness in them that is not allowing the Lord’s light to penetrate it. As challenging and contending as it is to wish well for those who wish us harm, there is so much strength that comes from that extension of grace. Jesus Christ, our Lord died on the cross and extended the same grace to those who ostracized and condemned and mischaracterized and crucified him because the love He has for all His children extends so far that even though those who tortured Him were deserving of such mercy, and even those who murdered him were worthy of forgiveness if they had the humility to seek it. Living in this world, we are taught things, and we are encouraged to believe things about ourselves and others that are not true. It is not to say that it is acceptable for people in our lives to bully us or to treat us as though we are less than them. I wish I had been told when I was a child that I was being bullied because I was born and made to be set apart and the reason that my peers were so cruel was because I was different than them, I was not better than them. I was different than them and I was made to be different. I had a light that was so bright it bothered people. I was told that I was bullied because my peers were jealous of me and at that point, it was impossible for me to believe that anyone could be jealous of someone like me. Now I am an adult and I realize that the jealousy that was described to me was not as simple as mere pettiness. It was an indication of my anointing and the favor upon me that I had to suffer so much to see in myself. When I was young, there was a yearning to conform and be more like my peers and like the same things as them so that I could be cool, so that my peers would perceive me as cool. Hear me when I say the truth is the matter is that no one else is cooler than you. And you aren’t cooler than anyone else either. Understand that you deserve to love who you are because you were made perfectly. There is nothing wrong with you and you do not deserve to think anything different. Do not believe what the world says about you, believe what the Lord says about you. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” Keep your eyes on Jesus, turn the other cheek as he did. In the face of cruelty, extend kindness. When a finger is pointed at you, smile and understand they aren’t pointing at you. They’re pointing at what they see in you and the eyes can be deceiving. Without faith, it is a universal truth. People don’t like what they don’t understand. Allow that to be okay. There is a loneliness in that but it does not last forever. If God is all you have you have everything you need, and at times we have far more than we realize because we live and operate from a place of lack because the things we want so badly are so far out of reach that we can’t see all the good that is around us. This is something I still grapple with. I still contend with unlearning all that I was told I was by people who do not even know me. I understand it hurts even worse when people who do know you treat you terribly. As it pertains to people who do not know you well and think poorly of you or have the wrong perception of you, I think of it as driving by a house and glancing in a window. We only see a glimpse of what’s inside, we don’t know how the house is decorated. We don’t know what’s inside of it. We can use our imagination, but until we are invited in and are able to look around, we have no idea. They don’t know what all is inside of you, and so a misinformed negative perception of you is not one that you should take to heart. God knows how your house is decorated and there’s so much beauty inside of it. Let those who glance in your window and make a judgment of what must be inside your whole house do so, because that judgment isn’t based on anything other than what they want to see and not what they are able to see. I encourage you my sibling in Christ that when someone says something cruel, ask how they are doing. It’s important to give grace, even to those who wish harm upon us, but to a point. Protect yourself, but don’t allow this protection to become a maladaptive means of coping. Don’t allow the bullying cause you to turn you inside yourself as I did for so much of my life. You will otherwise believe what you are the things you are told you are, and you are not those things. That is why giving to others is righteous, but be mindful that others’ weaknesses will take advantage of and for granted your strengths until you feel depleted. Even Jesus had boundaries, in his weakest moment he took John James and Peter into the Olive Grove to express His fear of what was to come, leaving the other disciples outside because He only wanted to share this vulnerability with those He trusted most. If it’s OK to share on this platform, there’s a spoken word poem and video called “to this day” about bullying. I heard it in high school and I still watch it and I cry because it’s true. All that is said to you and all that is done to you in cruelty, all the things they say you are. You will see that they were wrong. You have a reason to be here. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that you come to love yourself completely the way that the Lord loves you completely, and that you do so with humility and the gratitude of knowing that you are perfect no matter the names you are called. I pray that you find solace and peace even in the face of such unkindness, and that God may extend grace and place the same humility on the hearts of those doing such terribly hurtful things. “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” You are loved. You are never alone. I love you, and God loves you more. God bless you. Go in peace. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
