Just as a person who lusts in their heart has committed adultery, so is wishing someone dead considered murder which goes against the commandments God asks us to keep. So basically, if you think about sinning you have already sinned in your heart and that has just as bad of an outcome as if you physically done it.
Yes Dear One, even then. Even if they are the worst people on earth. Even if.... even then. I'm so very sorry that you are dealing with a horrible person.
Praying that your heart will change does not mean you need to spend time with them. Feel free to back away if they are actively hurting you. If you need to be safe and away, you do that. If you need to get legal intervention/police involvement to be safe, do that. You don't need to be actively abused. Be safe.
I'm not sure who you are talking about, but I'm hear to support you and listen... we are here for that.

99.99999999% of the time it is. Yes. However, I am aware of several legitimate exceptions in history and one of them occurred during my lifetime.
During the First Liberian Civil War; the wanton murder and severe violence, constant child and human sacrifice, persistent cannibalism, widespread rape and sex crimes against women and children, wholesale robbery, and lawlessness of every kind were so enormous in the country that the Liberian Soul Winning Evangelistic Ministries began to fast and ask God to kill the generals and warlords responsible so it would end.
God answered their prayer and the generals and warlords responsible began to die off, often in little "freak" accidents and minor skirmishes that had never even threatened them before much less taken their lives. This was documented by the ministry and the TRC committee which investigated the atrocities.
One of the worst of them, General "buttnaked" Joshua Milton Blahyi spoke openly about this incident in his interviews (skip to 10:50 here).
Understand however, that such exceptions are extremely rare in history and only occur in environments of utter and sweeping lawlessness, wickedness, and/or total rebellion against God and His normative morality for it is God's desire that everyone come to know the truth and be saved. He wants changed people not dead people.
If someone is causing you emotional pain, you should be praying that God would change them not kill them while taking steps to remove yourself from whatever unhealthy codependent alignments you're in with that person.

Yes, that is wrong. But, whatever was done to make you eveb consider that is probably more wrong.
I will pray that God will protect and comfort you; and help you to recognize and rely on His love.
If there is anything my wife and I can do to help you; you may PM me and we will do all in our power to help.

It is Satan who made them what they became, i think they did you terrible harm in some way.
Please understand that the same Satan uses your feelings to want them dead. pray for forgiveness and for help not to think that way, God knows and onderstands why you are feeling these things and will not judge you for it, as long as you don't want really what you are feeling.

Nothing changed, and you know this too. I'll give you that you're allowed to pray for the death of someone when the world is nothing but bad. I can give you that, because you're praying to God which already proves the world many things but "nothing but bad" isn't one of them. So back to learn to deal with the answer, because there is no getting around it.

And now to the answer your screen name choice tells me you don't want to hear.
God doesn't repair the world. He repairs those whom he has chosen. And it's not really a repair, it's at the stem cell level and to the spirit. He brings to life a dead spirit we were born into, so he's not in the repairing business. He's in the making-a-whole-new-being-out-of-a-pile-of-doo-doo business. (Well, he called us a dirty menstrual pad, so your pick on which you'd rather be.)
Yes, terrible stuff happens, but once we realize we're no better than the worst of people. I deserve the same punishment as Adolph Hitler. You deserve the same punishment. Your abusers deserve the same punishment. What we deserve is obvious. Without God's grace and mercy, we all get what we deserve. So, how about accepting God's mercy to learn how to really deal with abusers, instead of pretending this is anything about whether you can pray someone dead.
Something happens after death. It's very real. You too will die some day. What do you do in the meantime, because what happens after death is very real and we deserve the bad side of that.
This is to bring us to God's mercy and grace. Only from that position can you truly deal with abusers. Otherwise, you too are one.
