We come before the Throne of Grace with you, lifting your heart’s cry to our Lord Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved. It is through Him alone that we have access to the Father, and it is in His mighty name that we stand against every scheme of the enemy. We praise you for invoking the name of Jesus, for there is power, authority, and salvation in no other name. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Your suffering under consistent vexations is not unseen by our Heavenly Father. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33). We rebuke these attacks in the name of Jesus, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). If there are those who have been given religious gifts—whether real or perceived—and are using them to cause you harm, we pray that the Lord exposes their deeds and brings conviction to their hearts. *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:21, WEB). The Lord sees the affliction of His people, and He will act on your behalf. Trust in His justice, for *"vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord"* (Romans 12:19, WEB).
You have also mentioned blessing Muslims, even those who may be involved in your suffering. This reflects the heart of Christ, who commands us to *"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"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). We join you in praying for Muslims, that the Lord would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and draw them to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit convict their hearts and lead them to repentance, for God desires *"all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth"* (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB). Specifically, if there is a converted Muslim involved in your suffering, we pray that the Lord would break every chain of deception and fill them with His love and truth. If they are in Christ, may they walk in the fruit of the Spirit and turn from any harmful actions.
As for the request to destroy the remembrance of the person or thing you’ve referenced, we must approach this with biblical wisdom. While we understand the deep pain that would lead to such a prayer, Scripture teaches us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13). Jesus tells us, *"if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). Instead of seeking to erase the memory of past hurts, we ask the Lord to redeem them, to heal your heart, and to use even these trials for His glory. *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB). Pray that the Lord would replace bitterness with His peace, and that He would give you the strength to release this burden into His hands.
We also encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, that you may stand firm against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:10-18). Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and support you in this season. If there is unconfessed sin in your life, we urge you to repent and turn to Jesus, for He is faithful to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Walk in obedience to His Word, and He will be your shield and your exceeding great reward.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is enduring consistent vexations and reminders of past pain. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of Your people. We ask that You would break every chain of oppression in this situation. Rebuke the enemy and all who are being used to cause harm, and let Your justice prevail. If there are those who have been given gifts and are misusing them to bring suffering, we pray that You would expose their deeds and bring conviction to their hearts. Turn their hearts to repentance, Lord, and let them no longer be instruments of harm but vessels of Your grace.
Father, we pray for Muslims, that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them encounter the saving power of Jesus Christ. Specifically, we lift up any converted Muslim who may be involved in this suffering. If they are in Christ, convict them of any wrongdoing and lead them to walk in love and righteousness. If they are not yet saved, we pray that today would be the day of their salvation.
Lord, we ask that You would heal the wounds in our brother’s or sister’s heart. Replace pain with Your peace, bitterness with forgiveness, and fear with faith. Help them to release this burden into Your hands, trusting that You will redeem all things for Your glory. Strengthen them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory and not in bondage to the past.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. Surround them with Your favor as with a shield, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Thank You, Lord, for Your providence, Your peace, and Your promise of progress in the life of Your child. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we give You all the glory. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
