We come before the Lord with heavy hearts after reading your request, for we discern deep pain, anger, and a cry for justice—yet also a dangerous mix of bitterness and thoughts that do not align with the heart of Christ. Let us address this with truth, love, and the power of God’s Word, for we know that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He alone is just.
First, we must gently but firmly rebuke the words spoken in anger and violence. The Bible clearly commands us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Similarly, 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 desire to harm—even in thought—is not of God. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean what has been done to you is excused, but it means we trust God to handle justice in His perfect timing and way.
We also notice a plea for others to "get away with their secret murder" and be forgiven. Forgiveness is a sacred and powerful act, but it does not mean ignoring sin or enabling evil. True forgiveness comes through repentance, and God’s justice will prevail. *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy"* (Proverbs 28:13, WEB). If there are those who have committed grave sins, we pray not for them to escape consequences, but for them to face the conviction of the Holy Spirit, repent, and turn to Christ. If they do not, they will answer to God, who sees all things (Hebrews 4:13).
Your mention of not having the "capability to slaughter" reveals a heart in turmoil, and we urge you to surrender this anger to Jesus. Such thoughts are a burden too heavy for you to carry, and they open the door to the enemy’s influence. *"Be angry, and don’t sin"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB). Instead, cast this upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Ask Him to replace your anger with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Now, let us pray together for you and this situation:
Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child before You, knowing that You see the depths of their pain and the injustice they have endured. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Remove from them every thought of violence, bitterness, or revenge, and replace it with Your love and trust in Your justice.
We pray for protection over this person—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Shield them from further harassment, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Break every chain of fear, anger, and torment in the name of Jesus. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in forgiveness, not because the offense was small, but because Your grace is greater.
For those who have caused harm, we pray for conviction. If they have committed evil in secret, expose their deeds by Your light, Lord, and bring them to repentance. Let them face the consequences of their actions, not as an act of human vengeance, but as an opportunity for them to turn to You. If they refuse, we trust You to execute justice in Your perfect timing.
We declare Your providence and progress in this situation. You are a God who sees the afflicted and hears their cries (Exodus 3:7). Bring restoration, healing, and closure. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified through this trial.
Finally, we thank You, Jesus, for the authority we have in Your name. It is only through You that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). We rebuke every spirit of violence, hatred, and unforgiveness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Fill this heart with Your love, Your truth, and Your peace.
In Jesus’ powerful and holy name, we pray. Amen.

We strongly encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a mature believer, or a biblical counselor—to walk through this pain with support. You do not have to carry this alone. The body of Christ is here to uphold you in prayer and truth. If there are ongoing threats or harassment, we also urge you to take practical steps to ensure your safety, including involving authorities if necessary, while trusting God to guide and protect you.
Cling to this promise: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). He is with you, and He will see you through.
