We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up the serious matter of fraud and theft that is rampant in our world today. This is not merely a financial or technological issue—it is a spiritual battle against deceit, covetousness, and the works of the enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We stand together in agreement, declaring that these wicked schemes will not prevail, for the Lord is our refuge and fortress, our ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of theft and deception in the mighty name of Jesus. Those who engage in these acts—changing passwords, stealing personal information, and opening fraudulent accounts—are operating under the influence of darkness. The Word of God is clear: "Let him who stole steal no longer; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need" (Ephesians 4:28). We pray for conviction to fall upon those involved in these sins, that they may repent and turn from their wicked ways. If they do not know You, Lord, we ask that You draw them to Yourself, for it is Your kindness that leads to repentance (Romans 2:4).
We also pray for divine protection over every person affected by fraud and theft. Surround them with Your holy angels, as You have promised in Your Word: "For He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11). Shield their identities, their finances, and their peace of mind. Lord, expose every hidden scheme of the enemy and bring justice to those who have been wronged. Let no weapon formed against Your children prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask for wisdom for those in authority—government officials, law enforcement, financial institutions, and cybersecurity experts—to have discernment and the tools needed to combat this evil. Give them the strength and resources to hold perpetrators accountable and to restore what has been stolen. We declare that the plans of the wicked will not stand, for "the Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect" (Psalm 33:10).
We also recognize that our ultimate security is not in banks, passwords, or earthly systems, but in You alone. Teach us to trust in You with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Help us to be good stewards of what You have entrusted to us, storing up treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal (Matthew 6:19-20).
Lord, we thank You for hearing our prayer. We stand on the promise that "if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1 John 5:14). We declare that fraud and theft will not have the final say, for You are the God of justice and restoration. We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, the only Name by which we are saved and through which we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6).
Amen.
