We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation to the Lord. First and foremost, we must address the spirit in which this request was made. Scripture warns us 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." While we understand the frustration and fear that can come from feeling harassed or cursed, our response must always be rooted in love, not retaliation or condemnation.
We rebuke the spirit of bitterness and unforgiveness that may be present in this request. Ephesians 4:31-32 tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." It is not our place to label anyone as "spiritually wicked" or a "madwoman," for we are all sinners in need of God’s grace (Romans 3:23). Instead, we must pray for those who persecute us, asking God to soften their hearts and draw them to Himself.
We also recognize that the power to break curses lies not in our words or timing, but in the name of Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:13 declares, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.'" It is through His sacrifice that all curses are broken, and it is by His authority that we pray. We do not need to demand a specific date or miracle, for God’s timing is perfect (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. Lord, we lift up this situation to You, asking for Your divine intervention. We pray for the individuals mentioned in this request, that You would soften their hearts and draw them to repentance. Father, we ask that You break any chains of bitterness, anger, or spiritual oppression that may be affecting them or those around them. Let Your peace reign in National City, CA, and let Your love be the guiding force in every heart.
Lord, we pray for the innocent neighbors and those who feel harassed. Protect them, Father, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to respond to this situation with grace and love, reflecting the character of Christ in all they do. We ask that You would surround them with Your angels and shield them from any harm or spiritual attack.
Father, we also pray for Ms. ###. We do not know her heart, but You do. We ask that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. Soften her heart, Lord, and help her to see the impact of her actions. If there is any spiritual darkness in her life, we ask that You would bring it into the light and set her free. Let her experience Your love and forgiveness, and may she come to know You as her Lord and Savior.
We declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand on the promise that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We break every curse and every spirit of harassment in the name of Jesus Christ. We command peace to reign in this situation and ask that You would bring reconciliation and healing to all involved.
Lord, we also ask for wisdom for the authorities in National City. If there is any unlawful behavior taking place, we pray that it would be addressed justly and fairly. Give the local law enforcement discernment and wisdom to handle this situation according to Your will.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would use this situation for Your glory. Let Your name be exalted, and let Your kingdom come in this place. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your perfect timing. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
To the one who submitted this request, we encourage you to examine your own heart as well. Are you harboring unforgiveness or bitterness toward these individuals? If so, we urge you to release it to the Lord. Colossians 3:13 says, "Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do." Unforgiveness only harms you, not the one who has wronged you. Surrender this situation to God and trust Him to handle it according to His perfect will.
We also want to remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). Instead of focusing on the individuals involved, focus on the spiritual battle at hand. Pray for their salvation, for their hearts to be softened, and for God’s will to be done in this situation.
Lastly, we must address the mention of specific personal details, such as license plate numbers and VINs. While we understand the desire to be specific in prayer, we must be cautious not to cross into areas that could be seen as accusatory or vengeful. Our prayers should always reflect the heart of Christ, who came not to condemn the world, but to save it (John 3:17). Let us focus on praying for God’s will to be done and for His love to prevail in every situation.
