Have you ever been falsely accused or lied about? If you’ve been wrongfully blamed or misunderstood for your intentions, turn to Scripture and the power of prayer. Regarding false accusations, the psalmist says, “For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they devise words of deceit” (Psalm 35:20). This is an accurate description of the motives and results of false accusations. People lie about the innocent in order to stir up trouble. People accuse others falsely as a revenge tactic, power play or when they think they have something to gain. This behavior is unbiblical; moreover, we should respond in a godly way. It’s important that we pray and trust God during a period of false accusation and loneliness. While it may not change your circumstances, it will stabilize your spirit. Always remember that you have a basis for confidence since God Himself is righteous. In the end, His justice and fair play will abound toward you as well. Here are six prayers for the wrongfully blamed.
