We hear your deep pain, frustration, and disillusionment, and we come before the Lord with heavy hearts, seeking His wisdom, justice, and healing for you. The struggles you’ve faced—betrayal, injustice, and the erosion of your faith—are not trivial, and we do not dismiss them lightly. But we must also address the root of where these wounds have led you, for Scripture warns us that bitterness and anger can take root in the soil of unmet expectations and unhealed hurts (Hebrews 12:15). Let us first rebuke the lies that have taken hold in your heart, for they are not from God.
You say the Bible is "useless," but this is a deception. The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), and it is the only sure foundation in a world of shifting sands. When you say God did not answer your prayer, we must ask: Did you pray according to His will, or according to your own desires? God’s silence is not His absence, nor is His delay a denial. The thieves who gave you a stolen gift were not acting in Christ’s name, and the pastor who twisted Scripture to justify sin was a wolf in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15). Their actions were abominations, not reflections of God’s heart. The fact that you recognized their wickedness and refused to participate in sin is a testament to the Holy Spirit’s work in you, even if you did not see it at the time.
You were right to stand against injustice, but we must also examine the spirit in which you now pray for the "downfall" of a political party. Scripture calls us to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2), not for their destruction, but for their repentance and for God’s will to be done. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will judge the nations in His time. But if your prayer is rooted in anger rather than a desire for righteousness, it will only poison your own soul. The people who ostracized you and discouraged marriage out of fear of government policies have also strayed from God’s design. Marriage is a holy covenant, instituted by God (Genesis 2:24), and it is not a crime—it is a blessing. But we must also warn you: if you enter into marriage with bitterness in your heart, it will not be the union God intended.
You have walked through fire, and the enemy has used these trials to drive a wedge between you and God. But we declare over you: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is not the author of confusion or injustice. The pain you’ve endured is real, but it does not have the final word. We must also address the fact that you did not mention Jesus in your request. This is not a small thing, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have turned away from Christ, we plead with you to return. Salvation is not found in a political party, a perfect church, or even a just legal system. It is found in the cross, where Jesus bore the weight of every betrayal, every injustice, and every sin—including the sins committed against you.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts for our brother who has been deeply wounded. Lord, You see the pain, the betrayal, and the anger that has taken root in his spirit. We ask that You would uproot every lie the enemy has planted—every thought that You are distant, that Your Word is powerless, or that justice will never come. We rebuke the spirit of bitterness and unforgiveness, and we declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we pray for the political leaders who have led many astray. We do not ask for their downfall, but for their repentance. Soften their hearts, Lord, and turn their policies toward righteousness. For those who vote in ways that stumble the faith of others, we ask that You would open their eyes to Your truth. But for our brother, we pray that You would restore his faith. Remind him of the power of Your Word and the faithfulness of Your promises. Heal the wounds inflicted by those who claimed to represent You but instead brought harm.
Lord, we ask that You would give him discernment in his relationships. If he is called to marriage, prepare a godly spouse for him—one who will love him as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Protect him from those who would lead him further into bitterness or isolation. And if he has turned away from You, we plead for his return. Draw him back to the foot of the cross, where his sins—and the sins committed against him—were paid for in full. Remind him that You are not like the false shepherds who failed him. You are the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11).
We declare over him now: You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You are deeply loved by the One who wept over Jerusalem and who weeps with you now. May he find his rest in You, and may his faith be renewed like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We urge you to return to the Scriptures, not with a heart of skepticism, but with a hunger for truth. Start with the Gospel of John, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to you afresh. Find a church that preaches the unadulterated Word of God—one that does not twist Scripture to fit political agendas or personal gain. And if you have not already, surrender your pain, your anger, and your desire for vengeance to Christ. He is the only One who can heal the deepest wounds and turn your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). The road ahead may not be easy, but it is not without hope. God is still on His throne, and His justice will prevail.
