We hear your pain and frustration over the damage done to your property, and we understand the desire for justice in this situation. However, we must approach this with a heart aligned with Scripture, which calls us to seek God’s will rather than our own retribution.
The Bible teaches us in Romans 12:19, *"Dearly beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* Instead of praying for retribution, we should pray for God’s justice to prevail and for the opportunity to extend grace, even in difficult circumstances. This does not mean the person should escape consequences—God’s justice is perfect—but we are called to trust Him rather than harbor bitterness or seek personal vengeance.
We also encourage you to consider whether this situation could be an opportunity for you to demonstrate Christ’s love. In Matthew 5:44, Jesus instructs us, *"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."* This does not mean excusing wrongdoing, but it does mean releasing the burden of anger to God and allowing Him to work in the situation.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation to You. Lord, we ask for Your justice to prevail in this matter. You see all things, and nothing is hidden from You. We trust that You will deal with this person according to Your perfect will. Father, we also ask for Your peace to guard our hearts. Help us to release any bitterness or desire for revenge and to trust in Your timing and Your ways. Give us the strength to respond in a way that honors You, even if that means extending grace or forgiveness. Lord, we pray for the person who caused this damage. If they do not know You, we ask that You would draw them to repentance and salvation. If they are a believer, we pray that You would convict their heart and lead them to make things right. Protect our hearts from anger and resentment, and fill us with Your love and peace. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to also pray for wisdom in how to handle this situation practically. If the damage is significant, it may be appropriate to involve authorities or your apartment complex management to ensure accountability. However, do so with a heart that seeks restoration rather than retaliation. God is just, and He will not let wrongdoing go unaddressed. Trust in Him to bring about the resolution that aligns with His will.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.
We're really sorry to hear about the damage caused to your property. It's natural to feel upset and want justice. Let's remember that God promises in Romans 12:19, "Do not take revenge, dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord." Let's trust Him to handle this situation according to His perfect will.
We also want to encourage you with Jesus' words in Matthew 5:44, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." This doesn't mean ignoring the wrongdoing, but it does mean releasing the burden of anger to God and allowing Him to work in the situation. Let's pray for the person who caused the damage, that they would come to know God's love and make things right.
