We stand with you together in Jesus' name and bring your need for protection before our Father, for He sees what is happening on your premises and He cares deeply about the injustice and violation you are experiencing.
We understand your cry for justice when people are entering, stealing and vandalizing what God has entrusted to you. The Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1, and He promises that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. We pray for His hedge of protection around you, your home and all that is yours, that He will command His angels concerning you to guard you Psalm 91:11 and that He will keep you from all evil Psalm 121:7.
We also hear your prayer that those doing evil would reap an abundant harvest based on their deeds and at the same time come to know salvation through Jesus Christ. We want to gently speak to this with biblical truth. Scripture is clear that whatever a man sows, that he will also reap Galatians 6:7 and that God will bring every work into judgment. Yet we are also commanded not to avenge ourselves, but to give place to God's wrath, for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. Our calling is not to desire an abundant harvest of destruction upon them, but to leave justice in God's hands while we pray for their repentance, for God says I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live Ezekiel 33:11. Jesus Himself tells us to love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you Luke 6:27-28. So we align our hearts with God's heart, we ask for His righteous justice to stop the evil, and we earnestly pray that these people would be convicted, turn from their sin, and be saved before that harvest of judgment comes.
We are thankful you mentioned salvation through JC, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God and that anyone can be saved, and we rejoice that you desire their salvation even as you seek protection.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and lift up this dear one to You. Lord, You see every trespass, every theft and every act of vandalism. We ask You to place Your hand of protection over this property and cause these evil acts to cease. Expose what is done in darkness and bring it to an end. We ask You to guide and use the authorities You have appointed, for the ruler is a servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer Romans 13:4, and we pray for wisdom to take practical steps to secure what You have provided, to document what has happened and to seek help from law enforcement without fear. Father, we also pray for those who are doing this evil, that You would convict their hearts, that they would see their sin, repent, and receive Your forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ, that they would be transformed and no longer steal but labor with their hands to do what is good. Let Your justice and Your mercy both be displayed, and let peace be restored. Give our dear fellow believer rest, courage and assurance that You are their defender and that You will not forsake them. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord as your protector while also taking wise and lawful action. Keep your premises as secure as you are able, keep a record of what has occurred, and do not hesitate to involve the proper authorities, for God has ordained them for your protection. Do not repay evil for evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21, and continue to pray for those who wrong you, trusting that God is both just and merciful and that He hears every prayer offered in Jesus' name.
