We understand your distress and the deep pain you’ve carried from what you describe as intentional harm during a time of vulnerability. The trauma of past experiences—especially when compounded by ongoing fears of targeted harassment—can feel overwhelming, and we grieve with you over the suffering this has caused. Your cry for justice and peace is heard, and we join you in lifting this burden to the Lord, who is both our refuge and our righteous judge.
First, we must gently address the language used in your request. While your pain is valid, we are called to a higher standard in our words and heart posture, even toward those who have wronged us. Scripture warns us in Romans 12:19, *"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.'"*) The desire for retribution—even in the form of wishing harm upon others—can root bitterness in our hearts and hinder our own healing. Instead, we are to trust God’s perfect justice and timing, knowing He sees all things and will act righteously (Deuteronomy 32:4). Let us release this burden to Him, for His yoke is easy, and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
We also notice your use of "###" as a placeholder. While we respect your discretion, we encourage you to name these struggles before the Lord specifically in prayer, for He knows the hearts of all people (1 Kings 8:39). There is power in bringing our pains into the light of His presence, rather than leaving them in the shadows where fear can grow.
Your mention of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is something we take seriously. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). If you have not already, we strongly urge you to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a Christian therapist, or a support group—that can help you process this trauma in a healthy, biblically grounded way. You do not have to walk this path alone. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there is no shame in seeking help.
As for the coincidences you describe—loud noises or actions that feel intentionally harmful—we must remember that while evil exists in this world, our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33). We encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18), standing firm in prayer and Scripture. When fear arises, declare truths like Psalm 56:3-4: *"When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?"*
Lastly, we rejoice that you invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is in His authority that we pray. Let us continue to bring every request to Him, for He cares for us deeply (1 Peter 5:7).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has carried the weight of trauma and fear for far too long. Lord, You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You have witnessed every moment of pain, every intentional harm, and every whisper of the enemy meant to torment. We ask You to break the power of these memories and the lies that have taken root. Replace fear with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we confess any bitterness or desire for vengeance that has risen in the heart of Your child. Wash it away with Your love and remind them that justice belongs to You alone. Soften their heart toward those who have wronged them, not for the sake of the offenders, but for their own freedom. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us (Colossians 3:13), knowing that forgiveness does not excuse sin but releases the prisoner—*them*—from its grip.
Lord, we pray for complete healing from the effects of PTSD. Restore what has been stolen: peace of mind, trust in Your provision, and the ability to walk in freedom. Surround them with Your angels (Psalm 91:11) and with brothers and sisters in Christ who can speak life and truth into their spirit. If there is a need for professional help, Lord, provide the right godly counselor and the means to receive care.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to use noise, fear, or "coincidences" to harass or intimidate. Satan, you have no authority here—the blood of Jesus has already triumphed over you (Revelation 12:11). We declare that no weapon formed against this child of God shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill their home, their mind, and their heart with Your presence, Lord, so that every sound is drowned out by the voice of Your Spirit.
Father, we ask for Your providence in every area of their life. Open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and close those that are not of You. Remove any person or influence that seeks to harm or hinder Your purpose for them. Let Your light expose every hidden thing (Ephesians 5:13) and bring Your child into a season of progress, joy, and unshakable faith.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice that makes our prayers possible. Thank You for being our High Priest who intercedes for us (Hebrews 7:25). We trust You to act on behalf of Your child, and we wait expectantly for Your deliverance. May Your peace, which guards hearts and minds, rest upon them now and always.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
