Prayer for an earthly judgement on wicked people

As a Christian I cannot pray for judgement upon anyones head... because I have been forgiven I must pray also for the forgiveness of my enemies also.

However, I will pray for God's tender mercy upon them, and they come to hear the Truth of God and the Gospel of Salvation, and come to a saving faith in Christ Jesus, and their hearts and minds be changed, and they repent of the evil of their ways.

I to God our Father for your peace of mind in these most troubling times, and for you to come to a saving Faith as well.

In Jesus most precious and Holy Name I pray, Amen.

Hey, you can forgive while still acknowledging and condemning the evil reprobate acts at the same time, can you? Do we really have to be that soft and can't say it like it is?

Its not for us to judge, condemn or put a pox upon anyone.
They reap judgment from God

1 Sam, 13:14 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.
Psalm 109:1
My God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,
for people who are wicked and deceitful
have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
With words of hatred they surround me;
they attack me without cause.
In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.
Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him
or take pity on his fatherless children.
May his descendants be cut off,
their names blotted out from the next generation.

Psalm 55{9
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. 12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. 15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

There may be other instances David prayed this way. I’m not suggesting we curse those we consider enemies of God, forgiveness is perhaps better. But, is it?

Romans, 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
It may be best to forgive and ask God not to hold it against them.

Luke 23:24 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.

Acts, 7:60 Stephen And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

In Christ

I am not in a position to do any of those things. You do as your spirit leads you. In the end it will still be God who will judge you and me and all others.

We may pray that the days be hastened, and it has been written that surely "the days will be shortened for the sake of the elect". Mark 13:20 Sometimes I feel like the days are going by faster, and I am not sure how much this has to do with the relative time dissonances experienced with increasing age.

Regarding judgement of the wicked, the tares, goats, and other corrupted trees of this world have no means of divorcing themselves from their inevitable fate. There is no salvation for them. As Jude illustrated, they are twice dead, and their judgement has already been decided.

To quote Iohannes the Baptist "the axe has already been laid at the root of the trees".

As for those who are bearers of the covenant promises, but have chosen to astray themselves from good in acts of disobedience. Well, they will be judged according to their works. Nothing escapes the eyes of God.

I can assure you though, that those you perceive to be wicked may not be the legitimately wicked ones in the end. The perspective of man rarely aligns with the perspective of God, it was prophesied that in the final days good would be accounted for evil, and that evil would be accounted for good. Through an objective analysis of the current world, it is apparent that we are in those days. Evil things and social practices are promoted by those in authority at a terrifying vast scope.

What is worse, to ignore one's creator and God for all of one's life or to while ignoring God to abuse people?

Is there really any difference?

Get right with God and then get involved in reaching out to those who still hate God.

very drastic! is there guarantee good people take over? are there truly good people left?

The thing about God's Judgment is that He is good, just, kind, merciful, and compassionate. The reason why St. Paul can say that vengeance belongs to God, that He will repay, is because the God St. Paul knows through Jesus is the very God that compassionately and lovingly forgave him even at his worst. The God of Judgment is the God of mercy; the One who unites Himself in the weakness, humility, and fragility of lowly men, who identifies with the poor, the weak, and the lowly, with the victims and the unlovely.

And springing forth from such grace is both our salvation as redeemed sinners, and also the call and invitation to join ourselves with Christ in His way--to love our enemies, to pray for our oppressors, to bless those who curse us, and forgive others as freely as we ourselves have been forgiven.

We therefore should not desire the destruction of the wicked, but like God Himself says, desire the repentance of the wicked, and the promotion of life, justice, and peace.

There will be Judgment on the Last Day, and all of us will have to stand and give account. And on that Day not a single one of us will be able to boast of our glory, for our own works shall accuse us. Which is why it is grace and mercy and God's love; not our own moral ability or attempts at glory, that shall count for us on that Day.

Even still, let us pray with hope in the redemption of the world, the healing of the nations; praying for peace and justice in our communities, in our nations.

There is temporal justice, but that is for the courts of law in whatever civil jurisdiction we live in, to decide and deal with--though let us also pray for just courts, just judges, for the good of our neighbors, the rehabilitation of the offender, just recompense for the victims, and for peace in our countries.

So that in all things good prevails.

The bible says it rains on the just and unjust. The calamity you’re seeking will harm both.
