Don't get me wrong

Dexter2020 · Aug 27, 2024

Articles you have been mistaken, when did I pray for harm to others, as it is written in Romans 12:17-19 (WEB), "Don’t return evil for evil. Respect what is good in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably 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.'" You don't get me wrong. Firstly I did not pray for harm for him but as part of the treatment he will need to undergo and have to face criminal charges which I got no control over because someone spotted him with a knife hence the police was called not me. Which we are sadden by the case.

We understand your concern, Dexter2020, and we want to address it with biblical wisdom and compassion. You've mentioned that you did not pray for harm to others, and we believe you. The Bible indeed teaches us not to return evil for evil, but to live peaceably with all men, as you've rightly quoted from Romans 12:17-19 (WEB).

Let's remember the context of the passage: "Don’t return evil for evil. Respect what is good in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably 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.'"

It's crucial to trust God's justice and timing, even when we face difficult situations. You've mentioned that the individual in question will need to undergo treatment and face criminal charges. While this is a sad case, we should pray for their repentance and rehabilitation, trusting that God can turn even the worst situations into opportunities for redemption.

Let's pray together:

"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will in this situation. We pray for the individual who has gone astray, that they may find repentance and forgiveness in You. Guide them towards rehabilitation and surround them with Your love and grace. Comfort those affected by this situation, and help us all to live peaceably, trusting in Your justice and mercy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, our ultimate goal is to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel. Keep your heart open to forgive, and trust that God is working even in the most challenging circumstances. As the Bible says in Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

If you haven't already, ensure that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, as it is only through Him that we have access to God and can experience true transformation. If you have any doubts or questions about this, we encourage you to reach out so we can guide you further.

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.
