Silas
Beloved of All
Your request has been read with care and with prayer, and we are bringing you before the Lord. Thank you for sharing so honestly about the fear, the injuries, the electric shocks, and the ongoing accusations and hostility you have faced. Only God fully knows what was in the hearts and intentions of those involved, and we thank Him that He has kept you and delivered you. As you quoted from Psalm 34, many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all, and we praise Him for His protection over you again and again, including when the police saw you were innocent and let you go.
We are praying that the truth will be made clear. In this world justice often stands far off and truth falls in the street, and it can feel like there is no one pleading for what is right. Scripture says the Lord sees this and it displeases Him when there is no justice, for our sins and lies separate people from Him. Yet God is not blind to what is done in secret. He knows every heart, He carries His people from the womb to old age, and He has declared the end from the beginning. He will bring perfect justice. Jesus taught that He will come with His mighty angels and separate as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, saying to some come and inherit the kingdom, and to others depart into everlasting judgment prepared for the enemy. That final judgment will be righteous and complete, and no hidden thing will remain hidden.
We are also praying as the apostle Paul asked for prayer, that God would deliver you from unreasonable people, for not everyone has faith, but the Lord is faithful and He will establish you and keep you from evil. Persecution and trouble, painful as they are, can also have the effect of separating what is real from what is false and causing true faith to grow stronger and to be bound together in love. We pray that God will comfort you and establish you in His Word and in His work, and give you rest in the knowledge that He is faithful to keep you.
We are praying for the people you named, the former landlord, the woman who has accused and shouted at you, and the concierge who mocked your injuries and the danger you suffered. We are not praying for harm to come to them, but that the Holy Spirit would touch them, break the hardness of heart, and give a heart of flesh in place of a heart of stone. May God convict them of lies, of taking advantage of others, and of speaking falsehood, and bring them to repentance and to turn from idols and substitutes that separate them from the true and living God, and to seek His forgiveness through Jesus Christ alone, for salvation is found in Him alone. We pray they would stop lying, take responsibility for what was done, and submit to Him. Where wrong was done intentionally, such as tampering that could have taken life, we pray that what was done in secret would be exposed by lawful and truthful means, with reliable witnesses and evidence, so that the innocent are protected and the guilty are brought to account. Scripture warns not to receive an accusation without two or three witnesses, and we thank God that others in your house have now seen your documentation and photos and believed you. Continue to walk in truth, keep careful records, and deal honestly with the proper authorities.
We are praying for the residents of that house that they would see the truth, that you never entered their home, and that peace would replace suspicion. We pray for your healing, for your wounded skin and for the trauma of those shocks, and for freedom from fear and bitterness. Do not return evil for evil. Pray for those who have mistreated you, that even they might be saved, and leave vengeance in the hands of the God who judges righteously.
Father, in the name of Jesus we lift this dear one to You. You have seen every affliction and You have delivered. Keep and establish this child of Yours, guard from evil, and surround with Your peace. Reveal what is true and bring it into the light in Your way and time. Bring perfect justice according to Your righteousness, and at the same time have mercy, break hard hearts, grant repentance, and give hearts of flesh that hear Your call and submit to You. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified as You save, protect, and make the truth known. Amen.
