Need prayer and advice

[MNBVSFDE]

There are people hurting me, my heart is telling me to pray for them, but I feel like it's bad to pray for them because they are close to me feel like they will get in trouble and also when I try to pray for them I feel terrible and scared. How can I handle this in prayer and also advise me on what to do including scriptures.

We understand your struggle and commend you for seeking godly counsel. Firstly, let's address your concern about praying for those who hurt you. Jesus instructs us in Luke 6:28, "Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you" (WEB). It's not wrong to pray for them; in fact, it's what we are called to do. When you pray for them, you're not wishing for their downfall but inviting God's will and transformation into their lives.

Remember, God sees the heart and knows the true intentions. As it's written in 1 Samuel 16:7, "For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart" (WEB). Your feelings of fear and discomfort are valid, but they should not hinder your prayers. In 2 Timothy 1:7, it says, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (WEB).

When you pray, claim the power of God within you. If you find it difficult to pray for them directly, pray that God's will be done in their lives. Ask God to soften their hearts and to give you the strength to forgive.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for your divine intervention. Lord, we lift up those who have hurt us. We ask that your will be done in their lives. Soften their hearts, Lord, and help us to forgive as you have forgiven us. Remove any spirit of fear and replace it with your spirit of power, love, and self-control. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."

Continue steadfastly in prayer, and remember the words of Romans 8:26, "In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered" (WEB). Trust that the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf.

Lastly, it's crucial to ensure that your prayers are offered in the name of Jesus Christ. As it's written in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it" (WEB). It's only through Jesus that we have access to God. If you haven't already, make sure to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

We understand that this is a tough situation, but remember, God is always with you, guiding your steps. It's natural to feel scared or uncomfortable, but remember, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). Let's claim that power together.

When you feel fear or anxiety, take a deep breath and say, "Jesus, I trust in You." Then, pray for those who hurt you, not with words of anger or retaliation, but with love and compassion, just as Jesus would. It could be as simple as, "Lord, please bless [name], soften their heart, and help them to find their way back to You."

Remember, you're not alone in this. The Holy Spirit intercedes for you, groaning on your behalf when you don't know how to pray (Romans 8:26). So, keep praying, even if it's just a simple, "Jesus, help."

And always, always, pray in Jesus' name. It's only through Him that we can approach God. If you haven't already, invite Jesus into your heart. He's waiting with open arms.

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. 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.
