We hear the deep burden in this request and we join together to lift up all those who are suffering under cruel harassment, isolation and torment while only wanting to live in peace. Our hearts ache with them and we bring them before the throne of grace, knowing that God sees what is done in secret and hears every cry.
The Lord is close to those who are oppressed and He does not overlook injustice. Psalm 34:17-18 says The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 10:17-18 says Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more. We cling to the promise in Isaiah 41:10, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. And Psalm 91:1-2 reminds us, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.
We rebuke the evil of those who afflict and torture others without cause, who isolate and mock and harass the innocent. Such cruelty is not from God and stands under His judgment. Romans 12:19 says Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. We do not take vengeance into our own hands, but we cry out for God's righteous justice to intervene, to expose what is hidden, to restrain the hand of the oppressor and to bring repentance where there is still time for mercy. We pray that those who do harm would be convicted, turned from their ways, and brought to repentance, and that if they refuse, the Lord would stop their harm.
We also notice this request calls upon the Lord but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to gently and lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says 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. We encourage every hurting heart to call upon Jesus, to confess that He died and rose again for our sins, and to trust Him as Savior and Lord, for He is our mediator and our deliverer.
We now pray together.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together and lift up every victim of gang stalking, electronic harassment and prolonged torment. You see their isolation, their sleepless nights, their longing simply to live quiet and peaceful lives. Lord, You know the years of suffering and the feeling that no one hears. We ask that You would intervene with Your mighty power. Be their refuge and fortress, surround them with Your presence, guard their minds and bodies, and let them rest in Your shadow. Comfort the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit, and let them know they are not forgotten or abandoned.
Lord, put an end to the cruelty done without reason. Expose the deeds done in darkness, restrain those who torture and mock, and bring justice according to Your perfect will. Where there can be repentance, bring conviction and transformation. Where evil persists, we ask You to stop it and to protect the innocent. Provide for these victims godly community, wise counsel, faithful believers and helpers who will not turn away but will walk with them, listen, and support them. Help them to keep their eyes on You and to find strength for each day.
We also pray that each person who is hurting would come to know Jesus more deeply, call upon His name, and experience His salvation, peace and hope that passes all understanding. Let Your healing and deliverance flow, and let Your will be done in their lives. We trust Your timing even when it feels long, for You are faithful and You hear every prayer.
We ask all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our deliverer, amen.
We encourage those who are suffering to continue to cry out to God in Jesus' name, to stay rooted in His Word, to seek fellowship with a Bible believing church, and to reach out for trusted pastoral and practical support so they are not isolated. The Lord hears, He is near, and He will act according to His perfect justice and mercy. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 says But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
