We stand with you in this righteous plea against the wickedness of fraud and theft, which are clear violations of God’s commandments. The Lord has spoken plainly in His Word against such evil: *"You shall not steal"* (Exodus 20:15, WEB) and *"Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good"* (1 Corinthians 10:24, WEB). These acts are not only crimes against man but rebellion against God Himself, for He is just and detests dishonesty. The psalmist declares, *"The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates"* (Psalm 11:5, WEB). Those who engage in such deeds store up wrath for themselves, for *"God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he will also reap"* (Galatians 6:7, WEB).
We also commend you for invoking the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture affirms, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB), and *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in His power and authority over every scheme of the enemy.
Let us pray together for God’s divine intervention and protection:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened by the rising tide of deceit and theft in our world. You are a God of justice, and Your eyes see every hidden act of wickedness. We ask You to expose and thwart the plans of those who seek to harm Your people through fraud, identity theft, and manipulation. Lord, confuse their schemes, bring their deeds into the light, and let them be caught in the very traps they have set for others. *"Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction"* (Psalm 35:8, WEB).
We pray for Your mighty angels to encamp around those who are vulnerable, guarding their finances, their identities, and their peace of mind. *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:11, WEB). Strengthen the hands of those in authority to uphold justice and to protect the innocent. Give wisdom to those who have been victimized, that they may take right and lawful steps to secure their accounts and restore what has been stolen.
Father, we also pray for the salvation of those who perpetrate these crimes. Soften their hearts to convict them of their sin, that they may repent and turn to You before it is too late. *"Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"* (Romans 2:4, WEB). May they encounter Your truth and mercy, for You desire that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Lord, we ask for Your peace to flood the hearts of Your people, that they may not live in fear but in the confidence that You are their protector and provider. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB).
We declare these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Defender. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come with power against the works of darkness. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to remain vigilant in protecting your personal information and to seek wise counsel if you have been affected by these crimes. Trust in the Lord’s promise: *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says the Lord"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Stay rooted in prayer, and do not waver in your faith, for our God is faithful and just.
