We join you in lifting up your family and these pressing concerns before the Lord, and we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find true refuge. Your gratitude for God’s provision and protection is a testament to your faith, and we echo your praise for His goodness in your life. The Scriptures remind us in **Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB)**, *"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."* You have demonstrated this trust, and we stand with you in it.
The misuse of your son’s money and the selfish demands of relatives are grievous matters, rooted in the sin of greed and covetousness—both of which the Bible strongly condemns. **Luke 12:15 (WEB)** warns, *"Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."* Those who take what is not theirs are not only harming your family but are also storing up judgment for themselves unless they repent. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict their hearts, leading them to true repentance and restitution. As **Proverbs 28:13 (WEB)** declares, *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."* May God grant them a spirit of conviction, that they would turn from their wickedness and seek to live honestly, trusting in the Lord’s provision rather than exploiting others.
For your son and loved ones who are misspending their salary and savings, we urge you to speak truth in love, reminding them of the biblical call to stewardship and wisdom. **Proverbs 21:20 (WEB)** says, *"There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swallows it up."* Misusing resources—whether through recklessness, selfishness, or ignorance—is a form of rebellion against God’s design for our lives. Encourage your family to seek God’s wisdom in managing what He has entrusted to them, and to prioritize generosity, savings, and responsible living. If there is any involvement in sinful habits (such as gambling, extravagance, or supporting ungodly lifestyles), these must be addressed with urgency, for they invite demonic oppression and financial bondage. **1 Corinthians 6:10 (WEB)** warns that *"thieves, covetous people, drunkards, slanderers, and extortionists will not inherit God’s Kingdom."* Let this be a sobering reminder to all of us to live righteously.
We also commend you for recognizing that financial setbacks, while painful, are not outside of God’s sovereign will. Your declaration that *"God is with us throughout"* is a powerful testimony of faith. **Romans 8:28 (WEB)** assures us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in loss, God is refining your family, teaching you to depend on Him alone. We pray that He would restore what has been stolen or wasted, multiplying your resources as only He can do. Recall the story of Job, who, after enduring great loss, declared, *"The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the Lord’s name"* (Job 1:21). God later restored to Job double what he had lost. May this be your family’s testimony as well—though not for the sake of wealth, but for the glory of God’s faithfulness.
We also note your concern for unity, peace, and harmony in your family. These are godly desires, but they must be rooted in truth and righteousness. **Psalm 133:1 (WEB)** says, *"See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* Yet true unity cannot exist where sin is tolerated. If there are unresolved conflicts, bitterness, or enabling of ungodly behavior, these must be addressed with humility and biblical confrontation. **Ephesians 4:25-27 (WEB)** instructs, *"Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another. 'Be angry, and don’t sin.' Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* Let your family be a place where truth is spoken in love, where repentance is sought, and where forgiveness is extended—as Christ has forgiven us.
Finally, we celebrate your commitment to waiting on the Lord, reading the Bible, and listening to the Gospel. These are the foundations of a life hidden in Christ. Continue to *"seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness"* (Matthew 6:33), trusting that He will provide all you need. Your declaration that *"no weapon formed against me shall prosper"* is a direct quote from **Isaiah 54:17 (WEB)**, and we claim this promise over your family as well. The enemy may attempt to steal, kill, and destroy, but Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33), and His protection over you is sure.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family and their deepest needs. Lord, You are the God who sees all things—nothing is hidden from Your sight. You know the pain of financial betrayal, the frustration of misspent resources, and the weariness of spiritual battle. Yet You are also the God who redeems, restores, and protects. We ask You to intervene powerfully in this situation.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of greed, theft, and deception that has influenced those who have taken what is not theirs. Convict their hearts, Lord, and bring them to repentance. Let them experience the weight of their sin, that they may turn from it and seek to make amends. Break the chains of covetousness and oppression in their lives, and lead them to trust in You alone for their provision. As **Proverbs 10:22 (WEB)** declares, *"The Lord’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it."* May they learn to live by this truth.
For this family, Lord, we pray for supernatural wisdom in stewarding their finances. Teach them to be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16), that they may recognize and avoid schemes meant to harm them. Restore what has been stolen or wasted, O God, and multiply their resources as a testimony of Your faithfulness. Let their home be a place of generosity, not hoarding, and of wisdom, not recklessness.
We pray for unity and peace, but not at the expense of truth. Where there is sin, bring conviction; where there is bitterness, bring forgiveness; where there is division, bring reconciliation through the blood of Jesus. Let this family be a light in a dark world, demonstrating Your love and righteousness in all they do.
Lord, we thank You for the gratitude in this heart—for education, health, employment, and daily bread. These are gifts from Your hand, and we ask that You would continue to provide abundantly. Guard their minds from worry, their hearts from fear, and their hands from wrongdoing. Let them find their security in You alone, knowing that *"the Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me"* (Hebrews 13:6).
Finally, Father, we ask for a hedge of protection around this family. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Fill their home with Your peace, their hearts with Your joy, and their lives with Your purpose. May they continue to seek Your Kingdom first, trusting that all else will be added unto them.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
