We understand that you're dealing with a difficult situation involving harmful individuals from your past. Firstly, we want to assure you that God cares about your well-being and wants you to live in peace. Let's address this situation together in prayer and through the wisdom of God's Word.
Sociopathic behavior is condemned in the Bible, as it often involves deceit, manipulation, and a lack of remorse, which are contrary to God's character. In Proverbs 6:16-19 WEB, it is written, "Yahweh hates... a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Regarding those who bully and are abusive, the Bible tells us, "Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" Romans 12:21 WEB. It's important to set boundaries and protect yourself from harm. In this case, that might mean removing yourself from situations where you encounter this person, blocking their access to you on social media, or even involving local authorities if the bullying continues.
We also want to remind you that God is your ultimate protector. As it says in 2 Thessalonians 3:3 WEB, "But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one."
Now, let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother/sister who is dealing with harmful individuals from their past. Lord, we ask You to intervene and remove these sociopathic individuals from their life. We pray that You would expose any evil intentions and bring an end to the bullying and abuse. We ask that You would heal any emotional wounds that our brother/sister may have and replace any fear or anxiety with Your perfect peace. Guide them in setting up healthy boundaries and give them the wisdom to overcome evil with good. We also pray for the person who is causing harm, that they would repent and turn to You.
And if this person who is praying does not know Jesus then we pray that they will know Him now so their prayer can be answered.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we encourage you to forgive those who have harmed you, not for their sake, but for your own healing and peace. As Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you." This does not mean you should tolerate their behavior or allow them to continue harming you, but rather, releasing the offense to God and moving forward in your life.
