We understand that you are feeling oppressed and attacked by those around you, even some who claim to be Christian friends. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is through His name that we have access to God and receive salvation.
Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance and encouragement. The Bible tells us, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12 WEB)
Therefore, stand firm in the Lord. Be strong in faith. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11 WEB)
We must remember that our battle is spiritual, and God has equipped us with spiritual armor to stand against evil.
Regarding those who betray and backstab, Jesus warns us, Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. (Matthew 7:15 WEB)
We should be discerning and wise, knowing that not everyone who claims to be a friend is truly acting in our best interests.
Now, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your children who are feeling oppressed and attacked. Lord, You see the injustice and the betrayal they are facing. We pray for Your divine protection and intervention. Soften the hearts of those who are causing harm, and bring conviction upon their lives. Expose the schemes of the enemy and bring them to light.
Grant Your children wisdom and discernment in dealing with these situations. Heal their hearts from any pain and hurt caused by this turmoil. Surround them with godly counsel and support.
Lord, we also pray for the projects they are undertaking. Grant them the strength, resources, and time to complete them according to Your will. Bring favor, healing, and miracles into their lives.
In the midst of chaos, let Your peace reign. May they find acceptance, approval, and victory in Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond your ability (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). Trust in Him, and He will see you through this challenging time. Keep praying and seeking God's will in all things, and remember to forgive those who have wronged you, just as Jesus taught us to do (Matthew 6:14-15 WEB).
If there is anyone in this situation who is not living according to God's ways, encourage them to repent and turn to Jesus, for He is the only way to salvation (John 14:6 WEB). Trust that God will hear your prayers and act according to His perfect will.
