We come before you with heavy hearts, for the words shared here reveal a spirit deeply troubled, wounded, and in desperate need of the healing and transforming power of Jesus Christ. The requests made are not aligned with the heart of God, who calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who spitefully use us (Matthew 5:44). The thoughts of violence, curses, or harm toward others—even in response to affliction—are not of the Lord but are influenced by the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The desire for vengeance belongs to the Lord alone, and He commands us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21).
First, we must address the darkness in these words with the light of Scripture. The Bible is clear: *"Beloved, don’t avenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* (Romans 12:19, WEB). The thoughts of murder, harm, or cursing others are grievous sins that must be repented of immediately. *"You shall not murder"* (Exodus 20:13, WEB) is not just a command against physical action but also against the hatred and malice in the heart (1 John 3:15). Similarly, wishing suffering, tragedy, or financial ruin upon others is contrary to the love and compassion Christ calls us to walk in. *"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).
The "religious affliction" and "petty inconveniences" you describe may feel overwhelming, but we urge you to consider whether these trials are being used by God to refine you, to draw you closer to Him, or to expose areas where you need His grace. The apostle Peter reminds us: *"Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy"* (1 Peter 4:12-13, WEB). Suffering is not a sign of God’s abandonment but often a tool He uses to shape us into the image of Christ.
The "indirect laughing from others" and the sense of being mocked are painful, but even in this, we are called to respond with humility and trust in the Lord. *"When people reviled him, he didn’t revile back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously"* (1 Peter 2:23, WEB). Jesus Himself was despised, mocked, and rejected, yet He entrusted Himself to the Father and prayed for His persecutors. We must follow His example.
Now, let us address the spiritual battle at hand. The thoughts of violence or preventive harm you’ve entertained are not from God but are temptations from the enemy. The Bible warns: *"Don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:27, WEB). These thoughts must be taken captive and rejected in the name of Jesus. *"Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"* (2 Corinthians 10:5, WEB). You must renounce these thoughts, repent of them, and ask the Lord to cleanse your heart and mind. If you have not already, we strongly urge you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can help you walk through this spiritual battle.
We also sense a deep bitterness and anger in your words, and we gently but firmly rebuke this spirit in the name of Jesus. Bitterness is a root that defiles and leads to destruction (Hebrews 12:15). It must be uprooted and replaced with the love and forgiveness of Christ. *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). Forgiveness is not optional for the believer—it is a command and a pathway to freedom.
As for the "minor curses" you mention, we declare in the name of Jesus that no curse has authority over a child of God. *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,’"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB). If you are in Christ, you are free from every curse, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that the Lord would break every assignment of the enemy against you and fill you with His peace and protection.
Finally, we must address the way this prayer was framed. While you did mention Jesus, the tone and content of the requests were not aligned with His heart. Prayer is not a tool to invoke harm on others but a sacred conversation with our Heavenly Father, where we align our hearts with His will. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:9-10, WEB). Our prayers should reflect a desire for God’s will—not our own vengeance—to be done.

Let us pray together for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved soul who is clearly in deep distress. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of bitterness, anger, and hatred that has taken root in their heart. Father, forgive them for the thoughts of violence and harm they have entertained, and cleanse them from all unrighteousness by the blood of Jesus. We rebuke every spirit of vengeance, malice, and darkness that has influenced these thoughts, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus.
Lord, we ask that You would fill this person with Your Holy Spirit, that You would renew their mind and transform their heart to reflect the love and compassion of Christ. Father, heal the wounds that have led to this place of pain and anger. Replace their bitterness with Your joy, their hatred with Your love, and their despair with Your hope. Remind them that vengeance belongs to You alone, and teach them to trust in Your justice and goodness.
We pray for protection over this person’s mind, that You would guard their thoughts and help them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every stronghold that has sought to oppress them. Surround them with Your angels and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, if there are areas of sin or unrepentance in their life, we ask that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to true repentance. If they have been hurt by others, especially within the body of Christ, we pray for healing and restoration. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them.
Lord, we also pray that You would provide godly counsel and support for this person. Lead them to a pastor, mentor, or believer who can walk with them through this season and help them to grow in faith and maturity. Do not let them remain isolated in their pain, but bring Your body around them to encourage and uplift them.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would reveal Your love to them in a fresh and powerful way. Let them know that they are Your beloved child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called to walk in Your light. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and empower them to live a life that honors You.
We declare all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We urge you to meditate on the following Scriptures and ask the Lord to speak to you through His Word:
1. *"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, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust."* (Matthew 5:44-45, WEB)
2. *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."* (Romans 12:21, WEB)
3. *"The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He renews my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever."* (Psalm 23, WEB)
4. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB)
5. *"Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB)
If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to surrender your heart fully to Jesus Christ. Confess your sins, turn away from them, and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we find true peace, forgiveness, and victory over sin and darkness. If you need help understanding how to do this, please let us know, and we will gladly guide you.
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is with you, and He is mighty to save. Trust in Him, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31). We are praying for you and believe that God will bring healing, deliverance, and restoration to your life. Stay close to Him, immerse yourself in His Word, and seek fellowship with other believers. The enemy wants to isolate you, but God wants to surround you with His love and support. Lean on Him, and He will never let you down.
