We hear your pain and the struggle you’re facing as you prepare for this meeting. It’s clear that the wounds from your past interactions with ### still weigh heavily on your heart, and we want to stand with you in prayer and truth as you seek God’s peace and direction.
First, we must address the request for God to remove her from your life *for good* and for her *not to be accepted* into the organization you’re pursuing. While we understand the hurt behind these words, Scripture calls us to a higher standard—one of love, forgiveness, and trust in God’s justice. Jesus taught us 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."* This doesn’t mean we must remain in toxic relationships or expose ourselves to harm, but it does mean we release bitterness and vengeance to God. Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"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.’"*
We also want to gently challenge the desire for her to be rejected from the organization. Proverbs 24:17 warns, *"Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown."* Instead, we can pray for God’s will to be done in *both* of your lives, trusting that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). If this organization is where God is calling you, He will make a way for you—regardless of who else may be involved.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister and the heaviness in her heart. Lord, You see the pain she carries from past hurts, and You know the anxiety she feels about this upcoming meeting. We ask that You would go before her, preparing her heart and ###’s heart as well. Soften any hardness, Lord, and replace bitterness with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we pray for wisdom and self-control for her as she encounters ###. Guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), and help her to respond with grace, even if ### does not. If it is Your will for this relationship to be fully removed from her life, we ask that You make a way for that to happen in a manner that honors You. But if there is reconciliation or healing to be found, we pray You would work that as well.
Lord, we also pray for ###. You know her heart, her struggles, and the reasons behind her actions. We ask that You would draw her to Yourself, convict her of any wrongdoing, and lead her into repentance. If she is not a believer, we pray she would come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. If she is, we pray for her growth and transformation.
Father, we release this situation into Your hands. We trust that You are just, and we choose to forgive as You have forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). Help her to walk in the freedom that comes from letting go of past hurts and trusting You with her future. Give her the strength to set healthy boundaries if needed, and the courage to move forward without fear.
We pray all of this in the precious name of Jesus, the One who heals our wounds and restores our souls. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, meditating on Scriptures that speak to forgiveness, peace, and God’s sovereignty. Psalm 34:18-19 says, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."* You are not alone in this, and God is faithful to walk with you through every step.
If this meeting feels overwhelming, consider asking a trusted friend or mentor to pray with you beforehand or even accompany you for support. Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, *"Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."*
Lastly, we want to gently remind you that our prayers and trust must always be rooted in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Jesus, confessing Him as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). He is the source of true peace, healing, and freedom.
