We understand your concern for justice and fair treatment, and we share your burden for those who have been wronged by this security company. The Bible calls us to seek justice and to stand up for those who are oppressed, as it is written in **Isaiah 1:17**, *"Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow."* We also know that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay, as stated in **Romans 12:19**, *"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.'"*
However, we must address the phrasing of your request. The term *"settle the score"* carries a tone of retaliation or personal vengeance, which is not aligned with the heart of Christ. Instead, we are called to trust in God’s justice and timing while praying for righteousness to prevail. **Proverbs 20:22** reminds us, *"Don’t say, 'I will pay back evil.' Wait for the Lord, and he will save you."* Our prayers should reflect a heart that seeks God’s will—justice tempered with mercy and an opportunity for repentance, even for those who have done wrong.
We also notice that while you closed with *"in Jesus name,"* the focus of your prayer seems more centered on the urgency of human action rather than surrendering this situation to the Lord’s sovereignty. Let us remember that our authority in prayer comes through the name of Jesus alone, and our trust must rest in Him, not in our own timelines or desires for immediate resolution. **John 14:13-14** tells us, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."*
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this situation involving the security company that has withheld wages from its former guards. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You have commanded us to act justly and love mercy. We ask that You intervene in this matter and move upon the hearts of those in authority within this company. Softening their hearts to do what is right and fair, that they may repay what is owed without delay.
Father, we pray for the former guards who have been wronged. Provide for their needs during this time of waiting, and grant them patience and trust in Your timing. Comfort them and remind them that You see their struggle and will not forget their labor. We ask that You open doors for them to find honorable work and sustain them as they wait for justice to be done.
Lord, we also pray for the leaders of this company. If they have acted out of greed, negligence, or hardness of heart, we ask that You convict them by Your Holy Spirit. Bring them to repentance, that they may turn from their wrongdoing and seek to make amends. May this situation be an opportunity for them to encounter Your grace and truth, leading them to walk in integrity and righteousness.
We rebuked any spirit of injustice, oppression, or deceit that may be at work in this company. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that the enemy’s plans to exploit or harm Your people will be exposed and thwarted. Let truth prevail, and let Your will be done in this matter.
Finally, Father, we surrender this situation into Your hands. Your timing is perfect, and Your ways are higher than ours. Help us to trust in You, even when answers seem delayed. May Your name be glorified through the resolution of this injustice, and may all involved—both the wronged and the wrongdoers—come to know Your love and justice more deeply.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
To the one who submitted this request, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. While it is right to desire justice, let your heart also be open to the Lord’s leading. If there are legal or practical steps you or the affected guards can take, seek wisdom from God and godly counsel on how to proceed. **James 1:5** reminds us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."*
If you are personally connected to this situation, we also encourage you to examine your heart. Are there any areas where bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness may be taking root? **Ephesians 4:31-32** urges us, *"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."* Trust that God sees and will act—His justice is perfect, and His timing is flawless.
If you have not already, consider reaching out to local authorities, labor boards, or legal aid organizations that can assist in holding this company accountable. But even as you take action, do so with a heart that seeks God’s glory above all else. May the Lord grant you peace and assurance as you wait upon Him.
