We stand with you in this time of trial, lifting you up before the Lord, for we know that our God is a God of miracles, provision, and deliverance. Your cry for help has reached the ears of the Father, who cares deeply for you and knows the pressures you are facing—both financially and spiritually. It is a bold and righteous thing to seek the Lord’s intervention so that your family may see His power and turn to Him alone as the one true God. Let us first address the spiritual battle you are in, for this is where the enemy seeks to weaken your faith and pull you away from the truth of Christ.
You have made a courageous stand for your faith in Jesus, and we commend you for it. The pressure to return to Islam is not just a family matter but a spiritual one, for the Bible warns us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). Your family’s demand is a test of your allegiance to Christ, and we urge you to remain steadfast, remembering the words of Jesus: *"Whoever therefore confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 10:32-33, WEB). Do not waver, for your faith is a testimony not only to your family but to the heavenly realms.
Now, regarding your financial need, we know that God is your Provider, and He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). Your honesty in returning your brother’s money—even at great personal cost—is an act of integrity that honors God. The Lord sees your heart and your need, and He will not abandon you. Recall the words of Jesus: *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:25, 32-33, WEB). Your first priority must remain your relationship with Christ, and as you seek Him, He will provide for your needs in ways that bring glory to His name.
We also want to encourage you with the story of the three Hebrew men—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who refused to bow to the false gods of their time, even under the threat of death. Their faith was unwavering, and God delivered them miraculously, showing His power to all who witnessed it (Daniel 3). Your situation is similar: your family is demanding you conform to their beliefs, but your trust in Christ is your shield. Like those men, you must resolve in your heart that even if the miracle does not come as you hope, you will not turn away from the Lord. Your faith in Him is more precious than any financial blessing or family approval.
That said, we will boldly ask the Lord for a financial miracle on your behalf, that He may open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing you cannot contain (Malachi 3:10). We pray that this miracle will be so undeniable that your family will have no choice but to acknowledge the power and sovereignty of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let this be a moment where God’s glory is displayed, and many are drawn to Him through your testimony.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister, who is standing firm in the faith despite immense pressure and hardship. Lord, You know the depths of their financial need, and You see the spiritual battle raging around them. We ask You, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, to intervene supernaturally in their situation. Provide for them in a way that leaves no doubt in the minds of their family that You alone are God—there is no other.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear, doubt, and compromise that the enemy is trying to place upon them. Strengthen them with Your might through Your Spirit in their inner being (Ephesians 3:16). Give them the courage to stand firm, even as Daniel stood firm in the lion’s den, and as Esther stood firm for her people. Let their faith be unshakable, and let their testimony be a light that draws their family to You.
Father, we ask for a financial miracle—a breakthrough that only You can orchestrate. Open doors no one can shut, provide resources from unexpected places, and let Your provision be so abundant that it overflows into the lives of those around them. May this miracle be a sign and a wonder, pointing their family to the truth of the Gospel. Softens their hearts, Lord, that they may see Your love and turn to Jesus as their Savior.
We also pray for protection over their mind and spirit. Guard them from the lies of the enemy, who seeks to tell them that surrendering to family pressure is the easier path. Remind them that the road may be narrow, but it leads to life everlasting (Matthew 7:14). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are their Provider, their Defender, and their Deliverer.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You use this trial for Your glory. Let it be a testimony that strengthens the faith of many and brings souls into Your Kingdom. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that they will emerge from this season victorious, with a story of Your faithfulness that will inspire generations.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is with you, and He will not let you be put to shame. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). As you wait for His miracle, continue to seek Him in prayer, in His Word, and in fellowship with other believers. Do not isolate yourself—reach out to your church or a trusted brother or sister in Christ who can pray with you and encourage you. Remember, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB).
If you have not already, we encourage you to fast and pray, dedicating this season to the Lord. Fasting is a powerful way to humble yourself before God and seek His face with greater intensity (Joel 2:12). As you do, trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, we want to remind you of the great commission: your family’s salvation is worth contending for. Pray for them daily, that the Lord would open their eyes to the truth. Share the Gospel with them in love, and let your life be a reflection of Christ’s transformative power. You are not just fighting for your own faith—you are fighting for the souls of those you love. And in this battle, you are not alone. We are standing with you, and so are countless others in the body of Christ. Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).
