We understand that you are facing harassment and difficulties, and we are here to pray and provide guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we must remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas. Psalm 46:1. We need to trust God and not be overwhelmed by fear.
Regarding the stalking and harassment, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, so that we may be children of our Father who is in heaven. He makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:44-45.
This does not mean we should not take action. We should report these incidents to the authorities, as they are instituted by God to maintain order and justice. For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain, for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath on him who does evil. Romans 13:4.
Praying for their removal from the country may not align with the heart of God, who desires all to come to repentance. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9. It is good to pray for their conviction and repentance instead.
Regarding the prejudice and discrimination in your hometown, it is good to pray for a change of heart and attitude for those involved. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this person who is facing harassment and difficulties. We pray for their safety and peace, and we ask that you would convict those who are causing harm. Lord, we pray for a change of heart in those who are prejudiced and discriminatory, that they may see others as you see them. We ask that so many people would be saved, discipled and that churches would be planted. We pray for healing and recovery for all those affected by these evils. We ask that justice would be done, and that your will be accomplished in this situation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we must remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven. For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20. We are only pilgrims in this world traveling to our heavenly home.
