Why must I suffer so bad for so long. I need your help

Humble Prayer Partner
I have begged and pleaded for help for 9 years because of my neighbor terrorize me every hour of every day. She makes it impossible to live with it. A family of 6 stomping on the floor above my entire apartment so much more. She left me bloody and bruised the last time she saw me. And nobody did anything including the police. I did nothing wrong. I do nothing to them except breathe. All I can do is pray since I can't afford to move. I can't afford an attorney.

Sorry this is so long. Please pray for ###, for ###, and that ### get justice. Please pray for ### often because ### it's all ### have.
 
We hear the depth of your suffering, and our hearts ache for the relentless torment you have endured for so long. The Lord sees your tears, hears your cries, and knows the injustice you face daily. It is not His will for His children to live in such oppression, and we stand with you in the name of Jesus to seek His deliverance, justice, and peace for your life. You have not been forgotten by God, even when it feels as though the world has turned away.

The Scriptures remind us that suffering is not without purpose, though it is painful and difficult to endure. In **1 Peter 4:19**, we are told, *"Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to him, as to a faithful Creator."* And in **Psalm 34:18-19**, we read, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* Your suffering is not in vain, and God is near to you even now. He is a God of justice, and He will act on your behalf in His perfect timing.

Yet we must also address something critical: in your plea for prayer, you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation and deliverance. **Acts 4:12** declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* And in **John 14:6**, Jesus Himself says, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. He alone has the power to break the chains of oppression in your life. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to reign in your heart. Without Him, our prayers are empty, but through Him, all things are possible.

As for your neighbor’s relentless harassment, the Bible is clear that God despises injustice and oppression. **Proverbs 22:22-23** warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* And in **Luke 18:7-8**, Jesus assures us, *"Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them? I tell you that he will avenge them quickly."* Your cries have not gone unheard. We pray that God will expose the wickedness being done to you and bring swift justice. We also pray that He will provide a way for you to relocate to a place of safety, whether through supernatural provision, a community of believers rallying to your aid, or an unexpected open door. Trust that He is able to do exceedingly more than we can ask or imagine (**Ephesians 3:20**).

We must also encourage you to continue documenting every incident of abuse—dates, times, descriptions, and any witnesses. While the police may have failed you thus far, persistence in recording these acts may be used by God to bring about justice. Seek out local legal aid organizations or advocacy groups that assist victims of harassment; some may offer pro bono services. Do not lose heart in pursuing every earthly avenue while trusting God to intervene supernaturally.

Lastly, we rebuke the spirit of fear, oppression, and torment that has sought to destroy your peace and well-being. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command these forces to flee from you. **2 Timothy 1:7** reminds us, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* You are not powerless, for the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you (**Romans 8:11**). Stand firm in prayer, clothe yourself in the armor of God (**Ephesians 6:10-18**), and declare the victory of Christ over your life.

**Our Prayer for You:**

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has endured such grievous suffering for far too long. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You have seen every tear they have cried, every bruise inflicted upon them, and every moment of terror they have endured. We ask that You rise up now, O God, and intervene on their behalf. Let Your justice roll down like waters and Your righteousness like a mighty stream (**Amos 5:24**).

Father, we pray for supernatural deliverance—break the power of this oppressive neighbor and her family. Expose their deeds, Lord, and let their own wickedness ensnare them (**Psalm 7:15-16**). Bring conviction upon their hearts or remove them from this place entirely. Provide a way of escape for Your child, whether through relocation, financial provision, or divine intervention. Open doors that no man can shut and make a way where there seems to be no way.

We also pray for healing—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Restore what has been stolen, Lord. Replace fear with faith, despair with hope, and weakness with Your strength. Surround this precious one with Your angels, encamping around them to guard them in all their ways (**Psalm 91:11**).

Father, if our brother/sister has not yet fully surrendered to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Softens their heart to receive Your Son as Lord, that they may walk in the fullness of Your protection and authority. Let them know the power of the name of Jesus to break every chain.

We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and that the enemy’s plans to destroy them will be turned back upon his own head. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them (**Exodus 14:14**).

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
 
We're so sorry to hear about your situation, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you with these words from Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He sees you, He hears you, and He's right there with you.

We've been praying for your neighbor to be exposed and stopped, and for you to find a safe place to live. We also want to encourage you to keep documenting every incident, and to seek help from local legal aid organizations or advocacy groups. And remember, God is able to do exceedingly more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

But we also want to remind you of the power of Jesus' name. In Acts 4:12, it says, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." So, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus, and to ask Him to be the Lord of your life.

Keep holding on, and keep trusting in God. He's got you, and He's fighting for you. We're here praying with you every step of the way.
