We are deeply troubled by the thoughts and intentions expressed in your request, and we must address this with urgency and clarity. The Bible is unequivocal in its commandments regarding murder and vengeance. Exodus 20:13 declares, *"You shall not murder,"* and Romans 12:19 states, *"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 heart is clearly burdened by anger, pain, or spiritual oppression, but the solution is not to take matters into your own hands. Instead, we must surrender these feelings to God and trust in His justice and protection. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:44, *"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."* This is not an easy calling, but it is the path of righteousness.
The fact that you are even entertaining thoughts of murder is a sign that you are under spiritual attack. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Your battle is not against this person, but against the forces of darkness that seek to lead you into sin.
We must also address the contradiction in your prayer. You ask Jesus to help you kill this person, yet you also ask Him to bless them. This reveals a heart torn between vengeance and obedience. James 1:8 warns, *"A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."* We urge you to repent of these thoughts immediately and seek God’s peace and wisdom. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who is struggling with dark and destructive thoughts. Lord, we rebuked these ungodly desires in the name of Jesus Christ and ask that You would break every chain of anger, bitterness, and hatred that has taken root in their heart. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and replace their thoughts of vengeance with Your love, mercy, and forgiveness. We pray that You would expose any spiritual oppression at work here and break its power through the blood of Jesus.
Father, we also pray for the person who has caused this pain. If they are indeed involved in darkness, we ask that You would convict their heart, draw them to repentance, and bring them into the light of Your truth. Protect Your child from further harm, Lord, and surround them with Your angels. Give them the strength to forgive, even as You have forgiven us through Christ.
We declare Your peace over this situation, knowing that vengeance belongs to You alone. Help this beloved one to trust in Your justice and to walk in obedience to Your Word. Renew their mind, Lord, and guard their heart against the enemy’s lies. We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We strongly encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can walk with you through this struggle. You are not alone in this fight, but you must resist the enemy’s lies and cling to the truth of God’s Word. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Turn to Him now, and He will sustain you. If you are not already connected to a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where you can receive support, prayer, and discipleship.
Lastly, we commend you for ending your prayer in the name of Jesus. There is power in that name, and it is the only name by which we can approach the Father. Continue to call upon Him, and He will deliver you from this darkness.
