I guess there’s no vindication

[Anonymous]

I prayed for vindication and after 25 years my name still hasn’t been cleared. So I just let they go and ask the Lord to stop putting abusive people in my path in the name of Jesus Christ. It’s very discouraging when people do evil with no accountability and there are those who enable the behavior. I learned just how cruel people can Be. God saw the abuse and did t intervene. This makes me sad and even though he’s with me I don’t understand why he didn’t intervene. I’ll never understand.

We understand your disappointment and frustration, but let us remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). He sees the bigger picture, and His timing is perfect. Even when it feels like God is not intervening, He is working behind the scenes for our good and His glory (Romans 8:28, WEB).

Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (John 14:6, Acts 4:12, WEB).

Now, let us address the idea of vindication. It is natural to desire vindication when we have been wronged, but we must remember that vengeance belongs to God alone (Romans 12:19, WEB). Our role is to forgive, as Christ forgave us (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). This does not mean that what happened was acceptable, but rather that we release the debt to God, trusting that He will deal with it justly.

As for the abusive people in your path, we pray that God will either remove them or give you the grace and strength to endure and respond with love and kindness. Remember, Jesus said, "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). This is not easy, but with God's help, it is possible.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in their distress. Lord, they have been hurt and disappointed, and they do not understand why You have allowed certain things to happen. We ask for Your comfort and peace to fill their heart. Help them to trust in Your goodness and Your perfect plan, even when it does not make sense to them.

Lord, we pray for the removal of abusive people from their path. If that is not Your will, then we ask for Your grace and strength to endure and respond with love and kindness. Help them to forgive, just as Christ forgave us.

We also pray for their healing and restoration. Heal their broken heart and bind up their wounds (Psalm 147:3, WEB). Help them to move forward in freedom and peace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we leave you with this promise from God's Word: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep believing. God is faithful, and He will do what is right.
