We hear your heart and we join with you in prayer in Jesus' name for God's protection, provision, and perfect will to be done in your life, at your job, in your family and friendships, and in your businesses.
We understand your concern about what you call diverters of blessings, those people or spiritual forces that seem to block or steal what God intends for you. Scripture teaches us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. No person can ultimately divert what God has ordained for you when you walk in obedience to Him, for Jesus said I give eternal life to them. They will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand John 10:28. Yet we do have an enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy John 10:10, and we are called to stand firm, to resist him, and to trust God as our defender.
We want to gently correct the desire to see people greatly exposed and shamed at your job and among family and friends if they do not stop. We understand the hurt behind that prayer, but God's Word tells us Beloved, don't avenge yourselves, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. Instead we are called to pray for justice with mercy, for conviction that leads to repentance, and for God to reveal truth in His way and timing. We do not pray for people to be humiliated, we pray that any schemes formed against you would be brought to nothing and that those involved would come to repentance, and that you would be protected and vindicated by the Lord Himself.
We agree with you to speak life, for Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit Proverbs 18:21. We can speak in faith and declare God's promises, but we always submit to His sovereignty, saying If the Lord wills, we will live, and do this or that James 4:15. We pray that God will indeed restore and multiply what has been lost, for Jesus said he will receive one hundred times more now in this time Mark 10:30, and that God will turn what the enemy meant for evil into good for you, as He promises We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28.
We also lift up your practical needs before the Lord. We understand your desire to have your eyebrows and hair done even when finances are tight, to enjoy your job while you are there, and to leave it at the right time in a positive way. God cares about both small and large desires when we delight ourselves in Him. Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart Psalm 37:4. Our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. We pray for contentment and provision, and for wisdom to be a faithful steward. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23. There is a season for everything and a time for every purpose under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1, and we pray God makes clear when that right time to transition from this job will be, so you leave with a good testimony and open doors.
We pray for the sorrow to be lifted and for another income and for your businesses to prosper. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning Psalm 30:5. God desires diligence and integrity in business, and we pray you will be found faithful, that you will find trustworthy workers and that you will pay them well, for the Scripture says Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out James 5:4. We pray God brings you honest, skilled, dependable workers and gives you wisdom to lead them well.
We pray for your family and friends, that God will surround you with those who truly love you and are a good and godly influence, for There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother Proverbs 18:24, and that His will be done without worry, for He has said For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11.
We thank you for pleading the blood of Jesus, for the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin 1 John 1:7 and They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood Revelation 12:11. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and we rejoice that you invoked His name.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together. We ask that You bind up every assignment of the enemy against our dear one, and that whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven Matthew 18:18. We ask that You break every scheme to divert, delay, or destroy the blessings You have ordained. We ask that You flip what the enemy meant for bad into good, and let Your life and light reign in every area. Provide for every practical need, open doors for another income and for business increase, grant favor for affordable provision for personal needs, and give joy and peace at the current job. Give clear guidance on when and how to leave that job in a positive way that honors You. End this season of sorrow and bring Your joy and miracle working power into this life. Surround this dear one with family and friends who love them with a godly love and who are a good thing in their life. Let Your will be done, remove worry and fear, and make a way for businesses to prosper so workers can be paid well and treated justly. Cover all with the blood of Jesus, let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let Your permanent peace remain. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to remain faithful in prayer, in the Word, and in diligence at work, trusting that God sees, God provides, and God will establish your steps as you commit your way to Him Psalm 37:5.
