We stand with you in this difficult and dangerous situation, lifting up your landlord and this unjust dispute before the Lord. The violence and lawlessness you’ve described are deeply troubling, and we know that God is a God of justice who sees the oppression of the innocent. The Scripture declares in **Proverbs 21:15**, *"When justice is done, it is joy to the righteous, but terror to evildoers."* We pray that the Lord will expose the wickedness of those who have resorted to violence and illegal actions, and that He will bring swift justice through the courts.
It is commendable that you sought to protect your landlord, but we also urge you to prioritize your safety. **Romans 12:19** reminds 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.’"* While we pray for justice, we must trust that God will act in His perfect timing. We also encourage you to seek protection from local authorities if you haven’t already, as God often works through the lawful structures He has established.
The illegal construction must be halted, and we pray that the courts will rule with wisdom and fairness. **Isaiah 1:17** calls us to *"learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow."* Though you are a tenant, your courage in standing for what is right reflects the heart of God, who defends the helpless. May the Lord strengthen and protect you as you navigate this trial.
We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* It is only through faith in Jesus that our prayers are heard, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace. If you have not yet placed your trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (**Acts 4:12**).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister and her landlord in their time of distress. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You see the violence and unlawful actions taking place. We ask that You intervene and put an end to this illegal construction. Frustrate the plans of the wicked and bring their deeds into the light. Protect this sister, Lord—shield her from harm and give her wisdom on how to proceed safely. We pray that the courts will rule with righteousness and that truth will prevail.
Father, we also ask that You soften the hearts of those who are acting in violence and deceit. Convict them of their sin and lead them to repentance. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of those who are suffering under this oppression.
We declare Your sovereignty over this situation, trusting that You will act justly and mercifully. Strengthen our sister’s faith, Lord, and remind her that You are her protector and defender. May Your will be done in this matter, and may Your name be glorified through it all. We ask these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
