We understand your urgent need for prayer and protection, and we stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us first address the heart of your concern with a prayer:
"Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You to seek protection and justice for our dear friend who is being targeted by a group of manipulators. Lord, You know the intentions of their hearts and the falsity of their accusations. We ask that You thwart their plans and cause their lies to be exposed (Psalm 34:18). Blind their efforts to harm and bring their evil schemes to nothing (Job 5:12). Surround our friend with Your favor as with a shield, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Psalm 5:12, Isaiah 54:17). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to remain steadfast in faith, knowing that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Remember that the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still (Exodus 14:14).
We also want to address the importance of forgiveness. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This doesn't mean what they're doing is acceptable, but rather, it frees you from the bondage of bitterness and allows God to deal with them accordingly.
Lastly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to know that it is only through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation.
Stay strong in the Lord, and may His peace rule in your heart (Colossians 3:15). We continue to pray for your protection and for God's will to be done in this situation.
