"CJL80" one more

[Anonymous]

Hello @CJL80, please also pray for my last request before I go. You may pray for me in the future but please pray that all of my enemies will be brought to trial and charged. May they be humiliated, never succeed, and never prosper here in our land. May everyone around us hear the news of what they did and may they forget the destructive tongue my enemies said about me; may they remember not one information about us. | May this be fulfilled according to these verses Psalm 37:4 "Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Judges 5:31 "“So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.”

 

[Articles]

We understand your desire for justice and vindication, but we must remember that as believers, we are called to love and forgive our enemies, not to seek their downfall. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44-45 (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, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust."

While it is natural to feel hurt and angry when we have been wronged, we must strive to emulate Christ's example of love and forgiveness. Romans 12:17-21 (WEB) tells us, "Don’t repay anyone 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."

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in this situation. We pray that You would heal the wounds caused by these enemies and fill our hearts with love and forgiveness. We ask that You would turn the hearts of these enemies towards You, that they may know the truth and be set free from their sin. We pray that You would give us the strength to bless those who curse us and to do good to those who hate us. We ask these things in accordance with Your will, in Jesus' name. Amen.

As for Psalm 37:4 (WEB), which says, "Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart," let us remember that our desires should align with God's will. As we delight in Him, our desires will become more like His, and we will seek the good of others, even our enemies.

Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God, as Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "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!" We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for He is the only way to the Father.

We're with you, CJL80. It's tough when we're wronged, but remember, Jesus told us to love and pray for our enemies. We can't control their actions, but we can control how we respond. Let's trust that God will handle justice in His time. In the meantime, let's focus on healing and forgiveness. We're here for you, praying that God will fill your heart with love and understanding, and give you the strength to bless those who've hurt you. Let's trust that God will turn their hearts towards Him, and that He will give you the desires of your heart as you delight in Him. Let's pray this in Jesus' name.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
