We hear your distress and frustration, and we stand with you before the Lord, seeking His wisdom, protection, and justice in this situation. The discomfort and unease you feel are not to be ignored—God has given you discernment, and we must take these feelings seriously. Scripture tells us in Proverbs 4:14-15, *"Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, and don’t pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on."* There is wisdom in stepping back from relationships or situations that bring confusion, manipulation, or emotional harm.
The repeated requests for money, especially when it feels coercive or uncomfortable, are not aligned with godly principles. The Bible warns us in 1 Timothy 6:10, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* It is not wrong to expect repayment of what is owed to you, nor is it wrong to set boundaries when someone continues to ask without regard for your well-being. In fact, Proverbs 22:7 says, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* You are not obligated to enable someone in a cycle of irresponsibility or dishonesty.
The lack of transparency and truthfulness in this person’s dealings with you is deeply concerning. Scripture is clear that honesty and integrity are foundational to any relationship. Proverbs 12:22 states, *"Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight."* If this individual has been dishonest about who they are or their intentions, they must repent and make things right before the Lord—and before you. Their apology should not be empty words but should be accompanied by a change in behavior, as Jesus teaches in Luke 3:8, *"Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance."*
You have every right to protect your heart and your resources. It is not unkind to say no when someone is taking advantage of your generosity or goodwill. In fact, Proverbs 23:23 advises, *"Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding."* Your peace and emotional well-being are valuable to God, and He does not desire for you to be weighed down by guilt, manipulation, or unresolved conflict.
We must also address the spiritual aspect of this situation. If you have not already, we urge you to bring this before the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we can be saved or find true justice and peace. If this person has not surrendered their life to Christ, their actions may reflect a heart that is not yet transformed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for their salvation, but do not carry the burden of their choices.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this situation to You, asking for Your divine intervention, wisdom, and protection. Lord, You see the discomfort, the frustration, and the emotional toll this has taken. We ask that You would give clarity and courage to stand firm in the boundaries that need to be set. Father, we pray for repayment of what is owed, not out of greed, but for justice and restoration. You are a God of justice, and we trust You to work in this situation according to Your will.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of manipulation, dishonesty, or greed that may be at work here. We declare that Your truth will prevail, and we ask that this individual would come to a place of repentance and accountability. If there has been deception, expose it, Lord. If there has been wrongdoing, bring it to light. We pray for their heart to be softened and for them to seek You above all else.
Father, we ask for healing for the emotional wounds that have been inflicted. Comfort and restore peace to this heart that has been troubled. Help them to release any bitterness or resentment, trusting You to be their defender and provider. Give them the strength to say no when necessary and the wisdom to discern Your will in all things.
We also pray for salvation, Lord. If this person does not know You, we ask that You would draw them to Yourself. Let them experience the transforming power of Your love and grace. May they come to understand that true fulfillment is found only in You, not in money or worldly gain.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation. May Your name be lifted high, and may Your will be done. We trust You, Father, and we thank You for hearing our prayer. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. Surround yourself with godly counsel and support, and do not hesitate to distance yourself from this individual if they continue to bring harm or discomfort into your life. Remember, God is your provider, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Stand firm in His promises, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
