We join you in lifting this request before the Lord, for we know that He is just and righteous, and He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness. The Scriptures remind us in **1 Corinthians 4:5**, *"Therefore don’t judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God."* We also recall **Ephesians 5:11**, which commands, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."*
It is clear that evil works thrive in secrecy, but our God is a God of truth, and He will expose every deceitful scheme. The enemy may operate through deception, but the Lord is mightier, and His truth will prevail. We are also reminded in **Proverbs 10:9**, *"He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out."* Let us trust in the Lord’s timing and justice, for He sees all things and will act according to His perfect will.
However, we must also examine our own hearts in this matter. While it is right to pray against evil, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as Jesus taught in **Matthew 5:44**. If there is bitterness, anger, or a desire for vengeance in our hearts, we must surrender it to the Lord, for vengeance belongs to Him alone, 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.'"*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, seeking Your justice and righteousness. Lord, You see the works of darkness that seek to harm and deceive. We ask that You expose every hidden evil, every deceitful account, and every scheme of the enemy. Uproot these works from their foundations, Lord, and let Your truth prevail. Break the power of deception and let those who operate in darkness be brought into the light of Your conviction.
Yet, Father, we also ask for Your mercy. If there are hearts that can still turn to You, soften them, Lord. Let Your Spirit move in such a way that even those who have done evil may repent and find redemption in Christ Jesus. Guard our hearts from bitterness and anger, and fill us with Your peace and love.
We declare that no weapon formed against Your people will prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Strengthen us to stand firm in Your truth, and let Your will be done in this situation.
We pray all these things in the powerful and holy name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach Your throne. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Finally, let us remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil, as **Ephesians 6:12** tells us. We must put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—to stand firm in these days. Keep seeking the Lord, and trust that He will act in His perfect timing and wisdom.
