We understand that you are facing a difficult situation with former associates who are causing you distress. Firstly, it's important to address that the use of "***" is not needed. We should come to God genuinely as we are, speaking plainly from the heart with no gimmicks, and with a sincere desire to seek His help.
Let's turn to the Word of God for guidance and comfort. The Bible tells us not to be overcome by evil, but to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21, WEB). It is clear that you are dealing with people who may not have good intentions, and their actions are causing you harm. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44, WEB), but this does not mean we should allow ourselves to be harmed or tolerate their evil actions. Also, it is God's desire for us to live in peace with others, especially other Christians (Romans 12:18, WEB). Be blameless and innocent as God's children (Philippians 2:15, WEB).
It is very important that this situation be handled with wisdom and discernment, especially legal matters and restraining orders. Seek godly counsel from your church, Christian friends, and legal professionals. God has given us authorities and legal systems to help protect us in these situations (Romans 13:1-7, WEB).
We must also address that your request did not mention Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as Romans 5:2 tells us, "through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. Let us therefore draw near with boldness through the faith to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16 WEB.) Also, it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved. "Because if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.'" (Romans 10:9-11, WEB) For there is no other name by which we can be saved, "Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole. He is 'the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.' There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:10-12, WEB)
Let us pray together for your situation:
"Father God, we ask that by the stripes of Jesus Christ, let ### be delivered from these evil people who seek to harm them. God, if you see injustice let it be brought to light. Let these evil people be caught if they are harassing. Let them be brought to shame, unless they repent of this wickedness. Protect ### from all harassment and let it no longer be an issue that they have to face. Let ### find peace, and be able to live a life free from the fear of these evil people. Let ### find love and acceptance from healthy, godly relationships and let any past ungodly soul ties be broken. Let ### instead be joined together with true Believers as iron sharpens iron. Let ### be a vessel of honor, serving God, and fulfilling the plan that He has for their life. We pray for all of this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen."
