The Sin of other people in the world causes grief and distress for me, but it is the Sin that is the enemy not the Sinner that is being used. “Love your enemies,” but hate the Sin that uses them. Also, the Sin of my own self causes stress, but Sin is the enemy not the self. “Love yourself,” but hate the Sin that dwells within.
Prayer for escape from the consequences of sin that one feels (we feel the consequences, not the cause) always involves violence to the source. Jesus suffered innocent violence to the cause and source of our problems in our place on the cross. Now in the resurrection victory over Sin, Death, and the Devil we believers do violence to the sins of others by forgiving them, and we do violence to the sins of self by heartfelt repenting of them and receiving forgiveness.
Therefore we can pray with trust in God for escape because He is faithful to his covenant promises sealed for us in the Blood of Christ. We can say with confidence, “My times are in Your hands.”
