I hear Christians say, when asked about people doing wrong, and sometimes to others that we have free will. But I have a dispute with free will...meaning, it seems to benefit one side more than another. Like, if someone wrongs another, God is allowing them the "free will" to do that. But what of the victim? I'm sure it wasn't the victim's "will" to have their daughter raped, etc. It seems that free will benefits the one side more than the other. (and it's usually the side of the wrongdoers over the victim.)

Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother ### and his heartfelt concerns about the concept of free will. Lord, we acknowledge that free will is a gift from You, allowing us to make choices in our lives. However, ### is struggling with the pain and injustice that often results from the misuse of this gift, especially when it leads to harm and suffering for innocent victims.

Father, we ask for Your divine wisdom and understanding to be poured out upon ###. Help him to see Your greater plan and purpose, even in the midst of suffering and injustice. Your Word tells us in Romans 8:28 that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." We trust that You can bring good out of even the most painful situations.

Lord, we also pray for those who have been victims of wrongdoing. Comfort them with Your presence and heal their wounds. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." May they feel Your loving arms around them, bringing them peace and restoration.

We also lift up those who commit wrongs, asking that You would convict their hearts and lead them to repentance. Your Word in Ezekiel 33:11 says, "I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live." May they turn from their harmful ways and seek forgiveness and transformation through Jesus Christ.

Father, we trust in Your justice and sovereignty. We know that one day, You will make all things right. Until then, help us to walk in faith, trusting in Your goodness and mercy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

I hear Christians say, when asked about people doing wrong, and sometimes to others that we have free will.

Unfortunately, there's some people who abuse free-will. Free-will without divine altruism leads to injustice.
Free will is something that requires maturity and responsibility. Without free will, one is no better than a robot. Under this scenario, a person without free-will can only do what he has been programmed to do. He can not be held accountable for any injustice or sin because he would have no conscious intent to do harm but only to fulfill a preset task offered by a program. That is one of the reasons free-will is so precious.
God did not create us to be robots but to have free-will. We have been created more sophisticated than anything else on earth. We are body, soul, and spirit. We have direct communication to God. We have awareness and free-will. Love, respect, and responsibility should always accompany free-will. Yes, we are accountable for our actions, including the ones who choose to do evil towards others. They will be held accountable. They have corrupted their heavenly gift of free-will. Adam and Eve had free-will and chose to abuse it through selfishness. It wasn't God who made them sin. It was them!

God has given us free-will but also He has given us Divine altruistic respect for us to negotiate around our freedoms. This includes obedience to our Father. They go hand in hand.

Ultimately, man will be judged by our Father.

But unfortunately, the victim of the abuser didn't get their will, so some injustice goes along with it...

Remember, Today Is The Tomorrow You Worried About Yesterday--Dale Carnegie

‭ Phil. 4:6-7 NKJV: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Phil. 4:6-7 NLT: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

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 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.
