We understand that you are seeking prayer for a situation involving immigration and personal harassment. Firstly, let's remember some key passages in our discussion. In Leviticus 19:33-34, God commands, "If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God." This verse is a reminder that God calls us to treat foreigners with love and fairness, just as we would treat our fellow citizens.
However, we also recognize the importance of justice and the rule of law. In Romans 13:1-5, Paul writes, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same, for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil. Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake." Given these principles, we pray that the authorities will act with wisdom and discernment, upholding justice while also showing compassion to those in genuine need.
Concerning the harassment you mentioned, we stand firmly against any form of harassment and evil. In Ephesians 5:11, it is written, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them." We pray that those who are causing you harm will be brought to light and dealt with according to God's will.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this situation to Your throne of grace. We pray for the authorities in our country, that You would grant them wisdom and discernment in handling immigration issues. Help them to uphold justice while also showing compassion to those in genuine need. We ask that those who truly need to be removed from the country would be dealt with according to Your will, and that those who are harassing would be exposed and brought to justice or forgiven and live a more wholesome life.
We also pray for the person who submitted this request, that You would protect them from harm and grant them peace and comfort in this difficult time. We ask that You would bring an end to the harassment they are facing, and that Your justice would prevail.
Finally, we pray that those involved in this situation would come to know You, Jesus, as their Lord and Savior. We understand the importance of doing everything in your name, for it is written in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We pray all of these things in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will in this matter, trusting that He is faithful and just, and that He will hear and answer your prayers according to His perfect will. Remember the words of Psalm 55:22, "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."
