We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep frustration and pain, lifting up your heart and circumstances to Him who judges righteously. It is clear that you are carrying a heavy burden of anger, bitterness, and a desire for vengeance against this individual—emotions that are understandable given the injustice and mistreatment you describe. However, we must address these feelings with the truth of Scripture, for God’s Word calls us to a higher path, one that seeks His justice rather than our own retaliation.
First, let us acknowledge the wrong done to you. It is grievous when those in authority abuse their position, especially when their actions are rooted in pettiness, revenge, or even religious hypocrisy. The Lord sees these things, and He is not blind to the suffering of His children. In Psalm 37:5-6, we are told, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will act: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* You do not need to take vengeance into your own hands, for the Lord promises to vindicate His people. Romans 12:19 declares, *"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.’"* Your pain is valid, but the response must be surrendered to God, not fueled by the same spirit of malice that has hurt you.
Your words reveal a heart crying out for justice, but they also reflect a dangerous place where anger has given way to curses—wishing sensory loss, lung cancer, and muteness upon this person. We must gently but firmly rebuke this. Such prayers are not aligned with the spirit of Christ, who, even as He was crucified, prayed, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). Jesus calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean what was done to you is excusable; it means we trust God to handle the justice while we guard our hearts from becoming hardened by bitterness. Hebrews 12:15 warns, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."*
We also note the mention of your past struggle with cocaine addiction. Brother, we rejoice that you are no longer in that bondage, for *"if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17). The enemy may try to use your past to shame you or manipulate your circumstances, but in Christ, you are forgiven and redeemed. Do not let the actions of others drag you back into the guilt of what God has already washed clean. Stand firm in your identity as His child.
As for the threats and intimidation you faced—such as the ominous words about *"when the nuke drops"*—we pray for God’s protection over you. Psalm 91:1-2 assures us, *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* The Lord is your shield, and no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that God would expose any schemes of darkness and render them powerless, while also giving you wisdom on how to navigate this situation—whether through confrontation, seeking new employment, or simply trusting Him to fight this battle for you.
Lastly, we want to address the way you closed your prayer with *"Thanks Jesus."* While it is wonderful that you are turning to Him, we encourage you to always pray *in the name of Jesus*, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6), and *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13). There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is by His authority that we approach the throne of grace.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother to You, knowing that You see the injustice he has suffered and the pain he carries. Lord, we ask that You would be his Defender and his Shield. You know the hearts of all men, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. If there has been wickedness, manipulation, or revenge in the actions of this boss, we pray that You would expose it and bring it to light. Do not let the wicked triumph, O God, but let Your justice prevail in a way that brings glory to Your name.
At the same time, Father, we ask that You would soften our brother’s heart and deliver him from the bitterness and anger that have taken root. Replace his desire for vengeance with a supernatural ability to forgive, not because this person deserves it, but because You have forgiven him so much. Remind him that vengeance belongs to You, and that You will repay. Help him to release this burden into Your hands, trusting that You will act on his behalf.
Lord, we also pray for protection over his mind and emotions. The enemy would love to use this situation to drag him back into old strongholds of addiction or despair, but we declare that he is *more than a conqueror through Christ* (Romans 8:37). Strengthen him to walk in victory, not victimhood. Give him wisdom in how to proceed—whether to address this issue directly, seek new employment, or simply rest in Your provision.
We pray too for this boss, that You would convict his heart if he has acted unjustly. Soften him, Lord, and if he is Your child, bring him to repentance. If he is not, use this situation to draw him to Yourself. We do not pray for his harm, but for his salvation, that he may come to know the same grace that has saved us.
Finally, Father, we thank You that our brother is no longer in bondage to addiction. We pray that You would continue to heal and restore every area of his life. Fill him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let him rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for him.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
