When we honor God and put Him at the top of our list, we can count on His protection. That doesn't mean things won't go wrong, but it does mean that because your heart and soul belong to Him, He will preserve them. When we reach out to God with our request, it's okay to ask that our enemy receive what they justly deserve. David poured out his heart in prayers and songs for God's intervention, and he wasn't afraid to pray condemnation upon those who sought to destroy him. 

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Psalms 140:10

Is it vengeance to pray like that? We are not seeking revenge of our own, but asking God to take control and help us to break free from our enemy's stronghold. When Satan is driving someone, I believe it is our duty to seek God and ask him to alter the course of events and surround us with his fortress. 

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. Psalms 140:4
