We understand your heart’s cry for clarity in this matter, and we join you in seeking God’s wisdom and direction. It is good that you have brought this before the Father in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Christ that we have access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). We are reminded of James 1:5, which says, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* This is a promise we can stand on as we seek the Lord’s guidance together.
The situation you are facing involves financial matters, and Scripture provides clear principles for how we are to handle such things. First, we must approach this with integrity and a heart that seeks to honor God. Proverbs 11:1 tells us, *"A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight."* If these funds are rightfully yours through legal and honest means, then you can proceed with a clear conscience, giving thanks to God for His provision. However, if there is any question about the legitimacy of the claim or if pursuing it would cause strife or dishonor to the Lord, we must tread carefully. Romans 12:17 reminds us, *"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men."*
We also encourage you to consider how these funds, if received, could be used for God’s glory. The Lord entrusts us with resources not just for our own benefit but to advance His kingdom and bless others. Luke 12:48 says, *"For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required."* Whether the amount is large or small, we are stewards of what God provides, and we should seek His wisdom on how to use it wisely—whether for your needs, the needs of others, or the work of the ministry.
If there are legal or familial complexities involved, we pray for God to grant you discernment and to surround you with wise counsel. Proverbs 15:22 says, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Do not hesitate to seek godly advice from trusted believers or professionals who can help you navigate this process with integrity.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your divine clarity and wisdom to flood their heart and mind. Lord, You are the God of order and truth, and we ask that You remove any confusion or uncertainty surrounding these unclaimed funds. If it is Your will for them to receive this provision, we pray that You would make the path clear and straightforward, guarding them from any deception or complication. Give them a spirit of discernment to recognize Your leading and the courage to act in a way that honors You.
We also pray that You would prepare their heart to be a faithful steward of whatever You entrust to them. May these resources, if received, be used in a way that brings glory to Your name and advances Your kingdom. If there are any hidden motives, fears, or temptations in their heart, Lord, we ask that You would expose them and purify their intentions, so that they may walk in righteousness and peace.
Father, we rebuked any scheme of the enemy to bring confusion, greed, or division through this situation. We declare that Your will shall be done, and Your peace shall reign in their heart as they wait on You. Strengthen their faith to trust in Your provision, whether through this matter or in other ways You choose to provide. Remind them that You are their Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and that their ultimate security is found in You alone.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who teaches us to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to us. Amen.
As you move forward, keep your heart and mind fixed on the Lord. Psalm 37:5 says, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* Wait on Him, and do not rush ahead of His leading. If doubts or fears arise, bring them before the Lord in prayer, and He will guide you. We are standing with you in faith, believing that God will make His will known to you clearly and in His perfect timing. Keep us updated on how the Lord works in this situation, that we may give Him the praise and glory He deserves.
