We hear the heaviness and exhaustion in your request after enduring seven long years of stalking, harassment, invasion of privacy, smear campaigns and group bullying, and we join with you in seeking the Lord for full closure and justice in the mighty name of Jesus.
This kind of persistent persecution is evil and grievous to the Lord, for He is a God of justice and refuge. We rebuke the sinful actions of those involved, for God does not take lightly those who afflict the innocent and scheme against others in secret. We pray that every work of darkness be exposed and brought to an end.
The Lord sees what has been done to you and He hears your cry. Psalm 34:17 says The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:18 says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. We take comfort that even when man has pursued you without cause, God has remained near and He is your shelter. Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:2 says I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
We also remember that justice belongs to the Lord, and He will repay in His perfect time and way. Romans 12:19 says 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. We do not pray for vengeance out of bitterness, but for righteous justice, for truth to prevail, for the harassment to be stopped completely, and for the hearts of those involved to be convicted and brought to repentance or restrained by His hand. Isaiah 54:17 says No weapon that is formed against you will prevail and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants.
We pray together for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and lift up this dear one who has endured seven years of stalking and harassment. Lord, You know every detail, every invasion, every lie spoken, every painful day and sleepless night. We ask You to command this chapter to be fully closed. Put a hedge of protection around Your child and let no further harm come near. Silence the tongues that have smeared and bullied, scatter the schemes of those who gather together to do evil, and let their plans come to nothing. Bring divine justice and let truth be revealed and vindicated. We ask for intervention through the proper authorities as well, for Romans 13:4 reminds us that the authorities are Your servants for good to execute justice, and we pray You would give wisdom and courage to those in authority to act rightly and swiftly. Heal the deep exhaustion, anxiety and wounds this long trauma has caused. Restore peace, dignity, privacy and joy. Isaiah 41:10 says Don’t you 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. Let that promise be real in this life right now. Guard this heart and mind with Your peace that surpasses all understanding as promised in Philippians 4:7. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our refuge, our defender and our deliverer, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to bring every fear and burden to the Lord in prayer, to document what has happened and to seek help and protection through trusted family, church community and the proper legal authorities, for the Lord often works through those means to establish justice and safety. Do not grow weary in seeking what is right, for Galatians 6:9 says Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. The Lord has not forgotten you, He is working even now for your deliverance and restoration, and we will continue to stand with you in prayer until you can testify of His complete closure and peace.
