We hear your distress and concern, and we join you in bringing this matter before the Lord. It is clear that you are seeking God’s intervention in a situation that feels overwhelming or unjust. Let us first affirm that we can always come to God with our fears, frustrations, and requests, for He tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
However, we must also examine our hearts and motives when we come before the Lord. While it is not wrong to ask God to intervene in difficult circumstances, we must ensure that our requests align with His will and His Word. The Bible instructs us in 1 John 5:14-15, "This is the confidence which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him." It is important to seek God’s will above our own desires, trusting that He knows what is best for us.
We also notice that your request involves a financial aspect—specifically, not wanting to pay for something. While we do not know the details of the situation, we are reminded of Romans 13:7, which says, "Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor." If there is a legitimate debt or obligation, it is important to fulfill it unless God provides another way. Proverbs 3:27-28 also instructs us, "Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it. Don’t say to your neighbor, 'Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it,' when you have it by you."
Let us pray together now, seeking God’s wisdom, peace, and intervention in this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging that You are sovereign over all things. Lord, we lift up this situation to You, asking for Your divine intervention. We ask that You would work in ways that align with Your perfect will, bringing peace, clarity, and resolution. Father, if there is any unrighteousness in our hearts—whether in our motives, our words, or our actions—we ask that You would reveal it to us and help us to repent and walk in Your ways.
Lord, we pray that You would prevent any harm or injustice from coming to pass, but we also ask that You would give wisdom and discernment to know how to handle this situation in a way that honors You. If there are obligations that need to be fulfilled, give the strength and provision to meet them. If there are steps that need to be taken, guide those steps according to Your Word.
Father, we trust in Your promise that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Help us to rest in Your peace, knowing that You are in control. Guard our hearts from anxiety, fear, or bitterness, and fill us with Your love and grace.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to seek godly counsel from trusted believers who can help you navigate this situation with wisdom. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Surround yourself with people who can speak truth into your life and help you discern God’s will.
Lastly, remember that God is our ultimate provider and protector. Psalm 56:3-4 reminds us, "When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?" No matter what tomorrow holds, God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
