My upstair neighbour is rude. He is making noise every night after 10 pm sometimes even around midnight or even 3pm. Lord let this stop in Jesus name forever!!! Enough of this harassment!!! He doesn't care about my peace or peace of his other neighbour!! He walks so that I can hear every step of his and sometimes my walls are literally trembling.. It lasts for cca 15 years. Lord please help. Lord please deal with him amen!!
 
We hear the deep frustration and weariness in your heart over this long-standing trial, and we join you in crying out to the Lord for peace and justice in this situation. Fifteen years of enduring such disruption is a heavy burden, and we understand how this relentless noise has worn on your spirit, your rest, and your sense of security in your own home. You are not wrong to seek the Lord’s intervention—He cares deeply about your well-being and the injustice you are facing. Let us first affirm that you have done well to bring this before the Lord, for He is the one who commands even the storms to be still and who sees the hidden struggles of His children.

The Scriptures remind us that God is a God of justice and peace. In **Psalm 4:8**, we read, *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."* You deserve to rest in the safety of your home, and it is right to ask the Lord to intervene where human efforts have failed. We also recall **Proverbs 21:15**, which says, *"When justice is done, it is joy to the righteous, but terror to evildoers."* While we do not know the heart of your neighbor, his persistent disregard for others is not in line with the command to *"love your neighbor as yourself"* (**Mark 12:31**). His actions are selfish and lack consideration, and the Lord sees this.

Yet, we must also examine our own hearts in this matter. While your frustration is understandable, we are called to respond in a way that honors Christ, even in the face of unjust treatment. **Romans 12:17-21** instructs us:
*"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. 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.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."*

This does not mean you must passively endure this indefinitely, but it does mean that your response—even in prayer—should reflect a heart that trusts God to act justly rather than harboring bitterness or malice. Have you attempted to address this with your neighbor in a calm, respectful manner, perhaps with a witness present? If not, we encourage you to do so, for **Matthew 18:15** teaches us to first go to the person directly when there is an offense. If he refuses to listen, then involving authorities or mediators (such as a landlord or local housing authority) may be necessary. The Lord often works through the proper channels we establish, and it is wise to exhaust these before expecting supernatural intervention, though we certainly believe in both.

If you have already taken these steps and been met with resistance, then we join you in praying for the Lord to move powerfully. Sometimes, the Lord allows trials to persist to refine our faith, to teach us to rely on Him, or to expose the sin in others that they might repent. We do not know His full purpose in this, but we trust that He is working even in this difficult season. **1 Peter 5:7** reminds us to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* He has not forgotten you in these fifteen years; He is preparing a way forward, even if you cannot yet see it.

Now, let us pray together over this situation:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who has endured this relentless disturbance for far too long. Lord, You are the God of peace, and You command even the winds and waves to be still. We ask You to intervene in this situation and bring an end to the noise and disruption that has robbed our sibling in Christ of rest and peace. Father, You see the heart of this neighbor—if there is hardness or selfishness there, we pray that You would convict him and turn his heart to consideration for others. Soften his steps, literally and spiritually, that he may walk in a manner that does not harm those around him.

Lord, we also ask for wisdom for our brother/sister. Show them if there are further steps to take—whether it is another attempt at communication, involving authorities, or simply trusting You to fight this battle supernaturally. Give them patience and grace to respond in a way that honors You, even in their weariness. Protect their heart from bitterness, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, even in the midst of this trial.

We rebuke the spirit of disruption and harassment in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and we declare that this noise shall cease by Your power. If there is any spiritual opposition at work, we bind it and command it to flee in Jesus’ name. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your peace reign in this home.

Finally, Father, we ask that You restore the years that the locusts have eaten (**Joel 2:25**). Restore the rest, the comfort, and the security that has been stolen. Let this season of trial give way to a testimony of Your faithfulness and justice. We trust You, Lord, and we thank You in advance for Your intervention. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray, **Amen.**

We also encourage you to seek support from your local church or believers in your community. Sometimes, having others intercede with you or even accompany you in addressing the issue can make a difference. Additionally, consider playing worship music or Scripture readings at a low volume in your home as a way to invite the Lord’s presence into the space and to shift your focus from the noise to His peace. The battle is not just physical but spiritual, and we must engage it with both practical steps and fervent prayer.

Do not lose heart, dear one. The Lord hears your cries, and He will act. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep seeking His face. He is faithful.
 
We're right there with you, dear friend. It's been far too long since you've been able to enjoy the peace and quiet of your own home. We've been where you are, feeling the frustration and weariness that comes from sleepless nights and the relentless noise. It's not fair, and it's not right.

We've been crying out to the Lord with you, asking Him to intervene and bring peace to your home. We've been reminded of His promise in Psalm 4:8, "In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety." You deserve to rest in the safety of your home, and we believe that the Lord will make a way for you.

But we also want to encourage you to keep seeking justice in the right way. While it's understandable to feel frustrated, we must remember that our response should reflect a heart that trusts God to act justly. We've been reminded of Romans 12:17-21, which tells us not to repay evil for evil, but to overcome evil with good. Have you tried talking to your neighbor about this in a calm and respectful manner, perhaps with a witness present? If not, we encourage you to do so. Sometimes, a simple conversation can make a big difference.

We also want to encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in this. He sees your struggle, and He cares. He hasn't forgotten you in these fifteen years. He's preparing a way forward, even if you can't see it yet. Let's keep trusting Him together.

Now, let's pray:

Dear Lord, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who has been enduring this relentless disturbance for far too long. Lord, You are the God of peace, and You command even the winds and waves to be still. We ask You to intervene in this situation and bring an end to the noise and disruption that has robbed our sibling in Christ of rest and peace. Father, You see the heart of this neighbor - if there is hardness or selfishness there, we pray that You would convict him and turn his heart to consider others. Soften his steps, literally and spiritually, that he may walk in a manner that does not harm those around him.

Lord, we also ask for wisdom for our brother/sister. Show them if there are further steps to take - whether it's another attempt at communication, involving authorities, or simply trusting You to fight this battle supernaturally. Give them patience and grace to respond in a way that honors You, even in their weariness.

Let this season of trial give way to a testimony of Your faithfulness and justice. We trust You, Lord, and we thank You in advance for Your intervention. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
