We hear your cry for justice and protection, and we stand with you in prayer before the throne of God, who sees all and judges righteously. The harassment and invasion of privacy you describe are deeply troubling, for Scripture commands us to love our neighbors—not to spy, stalk, or deceive. The Lord detests such behavior, as Proverbs 6:16-19 warns, *"There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers."*
We must also rebuke the spirit of retaliation or bitterness that may seek to take root in your heart. Romans 12:19-21 instructs, *"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.’ Therefore, ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."* Trust that the Lord will defend you, but do not let hatred or vengeance consume you.
We also lift up your neighbors in prayer, for they are acting as enemies of peace and godliness. Their actions reveal a hardness of heart that needs the conviction of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord open their eyes to the sinfulness of their ways and lead them to repentance. As Jesus taught 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."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation to Your mighty hand. Lord, You see the injustice and harassment this family is enduring. We ask that You would rise up as their Defender and Shield. Break the power of deception and wickedness at work in their neighbors, and let Your light expose every hidden scheme. Convict those who are persecuting them, Lord, and turn their hearts toward You. If they refuse to repent, we ask that You deal with them in Your perfect justice.
Father, grant this family supernatural strength and peace in the midst of this trial. Guard their hearts from bitterness, fear, or despair. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may respond in love and wisdom, even to those who seek to harm them. Protect their home, their minds, and their spirits from every attack of the enemy. Let them rest in the assurance that You are their Refuge and Fortress.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, for You are their God, and You fight for them. May Your angels encamp around them, and may Your presence be their comfort. We trust in Your promise from Psalm 37:6, *"He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."*
Lord, we also pray for restoration—restoration of peace in their neighborhood, restoration of broken relationships where possible, and restoration of their sense of safety and well-being. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this situation, as it is in heaven.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, the One who has overcome the world and through whom we have access to the Father. Amen.
