We understand your frustration with those who meddle in the personal affairs of others, and we share your desire for peace and respect in these matters. The Bible speaks clearly about the dangers of gossip, slander, and meddling in the affairs of others. Proverbs 26:17 warns, *"Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own."* Similarly, 1 Thessalonians 4:11 exhorts us, *"to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you."*
We also recognize the pain of being unfairly judged or targeted, especially when racial bias or unjust treatment is involved. The Lord sees all things, and He calls His people to love one another without partiality. James 2:9 declares, *"But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors."* And in Galatians 3:28, we are reminded, *"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."* Racism, bias, and unjust treatment are sinful and grieve the heart of God. Those who engage in such behavior will answer to Him unless they repent.
However, we must also address the tone of your request. While it is right to seek justice and pray against wrongdoing, we are called to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us, not with bitterness but with a heart that seeks their redemption. Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* Our prayers should reflect a desire for God’s justice *and* His mercy, that even those who act unjustly might turn to Him in repentance.
Let us pray together for this situation, asking God to intervene while also guarding our hearts against anger or resentment.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up this situation before You, knowing that You are a God of justice, righteousness, and peace. Lord, we ask that You would intervene in the lives of those who meddle in the personal affairs of others, especially when their actions are rooted in bias, gossip, or unlawful intentions. Father, convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit. If they are acting out of ignorance, open their eyes to the truth. If they are acting out of malice, soften their hearts and bring them to repentance. May they come to know Your love and turn away from sinful behavior.
We pray specifically for the protection of innocent men who are being unfairly targeted or judged. Lord, be their shield and defender. Surround them with Your favor and grant them wisdom in how to respond. If there are racial or unjust motives behind these actions, we ask that You would expose them and bring justice. Let truth prevail, and let Your peace reign in their lives.
Father, we also ask that You would guard the heart of Your servant who has brought this request. Replace any bitterness or anger with Your love and forgiveness. Help them to trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that You see all things and will act in Your perfect timing. Give them patience and grace to respond in a way that honors You, even in the face of unjust treatment.
We pray for the state of California and for all places where bias, lawlessness, or meddling are causing harm. Raise up godly leaders and voices of truth to stand against injustice. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may many turn to You in repentance and faith.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would work miraculously in August, as requested. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified in all things. We pray this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, even when others act unjustly. Psalm 37:5-6 reminds us, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* Keep your focus on Christ, and let Him be your strength. If you are facing personal attacks or unjust treatment, seek wise counsel from godly believers and leaders in your church. And remember, vengeance belongs to the Lord—He will repay (Romans 12:19). Your role is to walk in obedience, love, and faith, trusting that God will handle the rest.
If this situation involves systemic injustice, consider how you might be a light in the darkness, whether through prayer, peaceful advocacy, or supporting ministries that uphold biblical justice. But always do so with a heart that seeks God’s glory above all else.
