We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your heartfelt cries to our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is mighty to save and deliver. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and we rejoice that you have turned to Him, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. *"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). Let us seek His truth and freedom together, for He has promised that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
First, we address the burden of sin you carry regarding cleaning your brother’s vomit and the resentment tied to it. The desire for revenge—even in subtle forms—is not of God, for Scripture commands us: *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). The belief that this is tied to "revenge from the Muslim" or others reveals a heart struggling with bitterness and unforgiveness. Jesus calls us to a higher path: *"But I tell you, 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 urge you to release this resentment and forgive as Christ has forgiven you. Cleaning up after someone, even in difficult circumstances, can be an act of love and service if done with a pure heart. Ask the Lord to purify your motives and free you from the weight of bitterness.
The second issue you mention—the compulsive scratching and touching of your face—sounds like a struggle with obsessive thoughts or actions. While you attribute this to "emulation revenge," we encourage you to consider whether this might be a spiritual or mental stronghold that needs to be broken in Jesus’ name. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). If this behavior is tied to anxiety, fear, or past hurts, we pray that the Lord would renew your mind and break every chain of compulsion. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* (Romans 12:2, WEB). We also rebuke any spiritual influence that may be exacerbating this struggle, declaring that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Lastly, your desire to learn Japanese and go to Japan is a noble goal, and we pray that the Lord would open doors for you if it aligns with His will. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). However, we caution you to examine your motives—are you seeking a house in Japan for status, comfort, or to fulfill God’s purpose? We pray that the Lord would guide your steps and provide wisdom as you pursue this dream. If learning Japanese will help you share the Gospel or serve others, then we ask the Lord to bless your efforts abundantly. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB). We also pray that as you read the Japanese Bible, the Holy Spirit would illuminate His Word to you in a powerful way, drawing you closer to Christ.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, asking for Your mercy and deliverance. Lord Jesus, You see the depths of his heart—the struggles with resentment, compulsive behaviors, and the desires for his future. We ask that You would cleanse him from all unrighteousness and break every chain of bitterness, fear, and obsession. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). If there are any spirits of revenge, anxiety, or confusion at work, we command them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray for his brother, that You would touch his life and bring him to repentance if he is struggling with drunkenness. Soften his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself. For our brother, we ask that You would replace his resentment with Your love and forgiveness. Help him to see this act of service as an opportunity to reflect Your grace, not as a burden tied to the past.
We pray for freedom from the compulsive actions that trouble him. Renew his mind, Lord, and let Your perfect love cast out all fear (1 John 4:18). Give him self-control and discipline, and let him walk in the liberty of the children of God.
For his desire to go to Japan, we ask for Your clear direction. If this is Your will, open the doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Provide the resources, the opportunities, and the wisdom he needs to learn the language and adapt to a new culture. Use him mightily for Your kingdom there, Lord. Let him be a light in that nation, sharing Your love and truth with those around him. Bless him as he reads Your Word in Japanese, and let it be a lamp to his feet and a light to his path (Psalm 119:105).
Finally, we rebuke any fear of others "stealing" his religious progress. His journey with You is unique and protected by Your hand. No one can take away what You have done in his life. *"Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1, WEB).
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We declare that our brother is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him (Romans 8:37). Let him walk in victory, freedom, and purpose. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
