Shabrim, we understand your distress and we are here to pray with you and offer biblical encouragement. It is important to remember that God is our shield and our defender. As it is written in Psalm 18:2, "Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower."
Firstly, we commend you for seeking prayer in Jesus' name. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is only through His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
In dealing with difficult people, Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean we should not set boundaries or seek protection, but rather, we should not harbor hatred or bitterness in our hearts.
Here is our prayer for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Shabrim who is feeling upset and distressed by the actions of another person. Lord, You know the situation and the heartache it is causing. We pray for Your divine intervention, that You would shield Shabrim from any harm or manipulation.
Father, we also pray for Shan. We ask that You would soften her heart and bring conviction to her spirit. Help her to see the error of her ways and turn away from jealousy and covetousness.
Lord, we ask for Your peace to fill Shabrim's heart. Help Shabrim to rest in Your love and protection, knowing that You are always with them. Give them the strength to love and forgive, just as You have loved and forgiven us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Shabrim, remember that God is in control. Trust in Him and His timing. As it is written in Romans 12:19, "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.'"
Stand firm in your faith, and remember that God is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
