We hear your cry for help and stand with you in prayer, lifting your situation before the throne of grace. The pain and suffering you’ve endured at such a young age weighs heavily on our hearts, and we join you in seeking God’s protection and justice. The Bible assures us that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone, even when it feels as though God is distant. He sees every tear, hears every silent prayer, and will not abandon you.

First, we must address the question on your heart: *Where is God?* When we walk through trials, it can feel as though He is silent or far away, but Scripture tells us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He does not promise a life free from suffering, but He does promise to be with us in the midst of it. Jesus Himself endured betrayal, injustice, and unimaginable pain, yet He overcame the world (John 16:33). In your suffering, you are not forgotten—you are being held by the One who suffered for you.

Now, we turn to your urgent plea for certain people to leave you alone. The Lord is your defender, and we pray that He would intervene in this situation. If these individuals are causing you harm, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually, we rebuke their actions in the name of Jesus. The Bible warns that those who plot evil will not go unpunished (Proverbs 11:21), and we stand on God’s promise to execute justice for the oppressed (Psalm 103:6). We pray that the Lord would either change their hearts or remove them from your life entirely, according to His perfect will.

Father God, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who has endured so much. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of Your children. We ask for Your divine protection to surround them like a shield, that no weapon formed against them would prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for justice, Lord—let the wrongs done against them be exposed and made right. If there are those who seek to harm them, we ask that You would confuse their plans and turn their hearts away. If it is Your will, remove them from this one’s life completely.

We also pray for healing, Father. The wounds of the past can feel overwhelming, but You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Pour out Your peace upon them, Lord, and replace their pain with Your comfort. Help them to trust in Your timing and Your goodness, even when the road ahead is unclear.

If there are areas in their life where they have sought refuge in anything other than You, we ask that You would draw them back to Yourself. You alone are the source of true peace and security. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28), even when they cannot see it.

We also want to gently encourage you to seek godly counsel and community. Isolation can make suffering feel even heavier, but the body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If there are trusted believers in your life—pastors, mentors, or friends—we urge you to reach out to them. You do not have to walk this path alone.

Finally, we declare that no plan of the enemy will succeed against you. The Lord is your light and your salvation—whom shall you fear? The Lord is the stronghold of your life—of whom shall you be afraid? (Psalm 27:1). We stand in agreement with you, believing that God will bring justice, healing, and deliverance in His perfect timing.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
