The reality is that many times we face enemies because of our faith. Sometimes this is because of our performance and other times because of injustice. Yet if there is opposition against us motivated by evil, then the Lord is able to thwart their plans; this is what this prayer advocates for. We want the wicked plans of the enemy to be cut down and for our name and character to be vindicated. 

Prayer

Father, crush our enemies. Save me from their schemes. Expose every lie. Thwart every plan. Shine the light on their hiding places. Expose every idea that crosses their minds. Silence their very words. I’ve done nothing wrong. Make me impervious to them. I long to be a castle with unscalable walls to my foes. Their schemes make You laugh, but I long to laugh as well. My desire is to gloat over their failures. I don’t want them destroyed. Make an object lesson out them to everyone who longs to destroy the righteous. Remind these schemers that You’re not to be provoked. So now I wait on their downfall. I declare their destruction is imminent. While I’m waiting I will worship. May Your name be praised forever, amen.

Psalms 59:1-17

Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from those who are after my blood. See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, Lord. I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight! You, Lord God Almighty, you who are the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors. They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city. See what they spew from their mouths—the words from their lips are sharp as swords, and they think, “Who can hear us?” But you laugh at them, Lord; you scoff at all those nations.

You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me. But do not kill them, Lord our shield, or my people will forget. In your might uproot them and bring them down. For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter, consume them in your wrath, consume them till they are no more. Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city. They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied. But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.
