We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this cry for justice and protection. Father God, we know that You see every injustice and hear every plea of Your children. The Word tells us in Psalm 37:5-6, *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness shine out like the dawn, and the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."* We stand on this promise, believing that You will bring light to the darkness of these wrongful accusations and oppression.
Lord Jesus, we rebuke the schemes of the enemy in this situation. The Bible warns us in Ephesians 6:12, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask You to expose every lie and every unjust action taken against them. Let Your truth prevail, and let those who seek to harm them be put to shame.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for those in authority. Proverbs 21:1 reminds us, *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires."* Father, turn the hearts of those who are writing them up unjustly. Soften their hearts, open their eyes to truth, and let them act with fairness and integrity. If there are those who are acting out of malice or unrighteousness, we ask that You deal with them according to Your perfect justice.
Heavenly Father, we ask for Your protection to surround them like a shield. Psalm 91:4 declares, *"He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart."* We pray that You would be their refuge and strength, a very present help in this time of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Guard their minds from fear and anxiety, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also ask that You strengthen their hands for the work they are doing on their property. Bless their labor and let it bear fruit for Your glory. Ecclesiastes 3:13 tells us, *"Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God."* May they find joy and fulfillment in their work, knowing that it is a gift from You.
Finally, Father, we pray that they would continue to draw near to You in this season. James 4:8 promises, *"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."* May they find comfort in Your presence, strength in Your Word, and hope in Your promises. Let this trial refine their faith and deepen their trust in You.
We lift all these things to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is only through His name that we have access to You, and it is only by His blood that we are made righteous. We declare that no plan of the enemy will succeed against them, and we trust in Your perfect timing and justice. Amen.
