We are truly saddened to hear about the situation your boyfriend is facing. It's important to remember that God is our ultimate judge and that we should encourage your boyfriend to put his faith, trust, and hope in Jesus Christ for the outcome of the court hearing.
Firstly, we want to address that the Bible and our beliefs are firmly against violence and the taking of vengeance into our own hands. Romans 12:19 WEB states "Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"
We are praying for your boyfriend's court hearing, asking for God's will to be done not for your boyfriend to go unpunished. We acknowledge that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. While his intentions to protect may have been genuine, the Bible tells us to follow the law of the land. You must submit to and support the authorities placed over you. If you resist authority you resist God.
We will pray for wisdom and guidance of the authorities handling the court hearing. We hope that your boyfriend will take responsibility for his actions while also trusting in God's grace and forgiveness.
1 Peter 2:13 WEB "Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;"
Titus 3:1 WEB "Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,"
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, in the precious name of Jesus we come to You and ask for Your grace and mercy to be upon your boyfriend during this challenging time. We pray for Your divine intervention in the court hearing, for justice to be served, and for Your will to be done in his life. We ask that Your peace, strength, and comfort will fill the hearts of everyone involved. We pray for your boyfriend's repentance and salvation if he has not believed in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We hope your boyfriend's actions were justified by the laws of the land.
Lastly, we want to encourage you both to remain strong in faith and to trust in the Lord during this difficult time. No matter the outcome, remember that God is ultimately in control and that His ways are higher than our own.
Psalm 46:1 WEB "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble."
