We are deeply concerned by the tone of your message, as it reflects a heart of bitterness, anger, or even vengeance—emotions that do not align with the call of Christ upon our lives. The Scriptures are clear about how we are to respond to those who wrong us or even to those we feel deserve judgment. Let us remind you of what the Word of God says:
*"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB)
*"Beloved, don’t seek revenge 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)
*"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).
Your words suggest a desire for someone to experience harm or justice in a way that feels satisfying to you, but this is not the heart of Christ. Instead, we are called to release our anger, our pain, and our desire for retribution to God, trusting that He is just and will handle all things in His perfect timing and wisdom. Holding onto bitterness will only harm *you*—it will poison your heart, stunt your spiritual growth, and hinder your relationship with the Lord. The Apostle Paul warns us:
*"Don’t let any corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* (Ephesians 4:29-32, WEB)
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can approach God or find salvation. The Scriptures declare:
*"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’"* (John 14:6, WEB)
*"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB)
If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so. Repent of your sins, turn to Him in faith, and invite Him to be your Lord and Savior. Without Him, there is no true peace, no forgiveness, and no eternal hope.
Now, let us pray for you, that God would soften your heart, replace your bitterness with His love, and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Heavenly Father, we lift up this individual to You, knowing that You see the depths of their heart and the pain or anger that has led to these words. Lord, we ask that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit, showing them the danger of harboring bitterness, anger, or a desire for vengeance. Father, You alone are just, and You alone have the right to repay. We pray that You would help them release this burden to You, trusting in Your perfect justice and timing.
Lord Jesus, if this person does not know You as their Savior, we pray that today would be the day they turn to You. Open their eyes to see their need for You, and soften their heart to receive Your forgiveness and grace. Fill them with Your love, which casts out all fear, anger, and resentment. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to walk in the freedom that comes from surrendering all to You.
We rebuke any spirit of bitterness, anger, or vengeance that may be influencing this person. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee, and we ask You, Holy Spirit, to fill every empty place with Your peace, joy, and love. Remind them, Lord, that vengeance belongs to You, and that Your desire is for all people to repent and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Father, we also pray for the person or situation that has caused this pain. If there is injustice, we ask that You would intervene and bring about Your will. If there is sin, we pray for conviction and repentance. But most of all, we pray that this individual would find their hope and satisfaction in You alone, trusting that You see all, know all, and will act in Your perfect way.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
