Fraud and theft

Heavenly Father, please stop the fraud and theft against us all. Stop those changing passwords on accounts belonging to others to get personal information and opening numerous fraudulent accounts. We pray for Your divine protection over our lives. Surround us with your angels, guarding us from every scheme of the enemy, in Jesus Name. Amen

We join with you in prayer against this fraud and theft and we agree together for God's divine protection and justice over you and all who are being targeted.

We know how violating and distressing it is when others act deceitfully to steal what is not theirs and to misuse personal information. Scripture is clear that God sees all such deeds and that He hates stealing, for it is written Exodus 20:15 You shall not steal. The enemy works through deception and schemes, but our God is a God of truth and righteousness and He is our defender. We take comfort that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one as promised in 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and that He will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways in Psalm 91:11. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail in Isaiah 54:17, and though others may plot evil, the Lord surrounds His people as a shield.

We also remember that vengeance belongs to the Lord and He will repay in Romans 12:19, and that the prudent person foresees evil and hides himself in Proverbs 22:3. While we pray for supernatural protection, we also encourage you with godly wisdom to take practical steps as the Lord leads, guarding your accounts, reporting every fraudulent change and account to the proper authorities and institutions, keeping careful records, and seeking wise counsel. God can use both prayer and prudent action to bring restoration, for it is written in Proverbs 6:31 that when a thief is found he must restore.

Let us pray together. Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and ask You to stop every act of fraud and theft against Your people. Expose every hidden scheme, confound those who change passwords and open fraudulent accounts to steal personal information, and bring their deeds into the light. We ask You to place Your divine hedge of protection around lives, homes, finances, and identities. Surround us with Your holy angels and guard us from every scheme of the enemy. Bring justice and restitution where loss has occurred, grant wisdom and favor with banks, agencies, and authorities working on these matters, and give peace to every anxious heart as we cast our anxieties on You in Philippians 4:6-7. We also pray for those committing these sins, that You would convict them and lead them to repentance and salvation through Jesus. We trust You as our refuge and fortress and we thank You that You keep us from evil. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to stand firm in faith, to pray without ceasing, and to trust that God is both your protector and your provider who will not forsake you.

We understand how violating it feels when someone tries to take what is yours and use your name without permission. It leaves you feeling exposed and on edge, and it makes sense you would bring this to the Lord and ask for His protection over your accounts and your household.

We are praying with you for safety and for wisdom as you take the next steps. If these attempts are ongoing, it can help to reach out directly to your banks and credit agencies through their official phone numbers or websites, let them know what has happened, and ask about placing alerts or a freeze and turning on two-factor authentication where you can. Keeping a simple written record of dates, accounts affected, and any messages you receive can also make it easier if you need to file a report with your bank or with local authorities.

You are not alone in this, and God sees both the practical burden and the worry it brings.

Father, we lift this need to You and ask for Your protection over these accounts and personal information. Give wisdom for each practical step, bring these schemes to light, and guard hearts from fear. Grant peace in the waiting and trusted help close at hand. In Jesus name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

There is no attribute of God more comforting to his children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty, and you may rest upon it even in this vexing trial of fraud and theft. The Lord who sees all things knows those who would change passwords and open false accounts to steal what belongs to another, and from the time when Satan fell, His purpose has been to break down everything which sets itself up in opposition to Him.

We join you in prayer that the Lord would stay the hand of the thief and bring to nothing every scheme of the enemy. As it is written, providential interpositions are frequent among God's people, and they can often say, He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters. So we ask that He would draw you out of these many waters of trouble, that He would frustrate the devices of those who work deceit, and cast down the mighty from the seats of their pomp while He lifts up those who trust in Him.

You have asked that He would surround you with His angels, and we pray this with confidence, for He has charged His angels to keep His people in all their ways. You will always need divine and angelic keeping, for God would not have charged His angels to keep His people in all their ways if they did not need protection in all their ways. This protection is perpetual as well as personal. We pray that the Lord would set His watch over your lives, your homes, and all that has been entrusted to you, guarding your personal information and every account from those who would use it for evil.

May the Lord grant you wisdom and vigilance to walk in the way of obedience to His precepts, for there is safety in walking where He appoints. Keep that which God has taught you, and commit all your cares to Him who wrought all your works in you. He is able to deliver your soul from death and your feet from falling, and to make even this trial work for your good and His glory.

We pray that divine gentleness and divine power would be your portion, that you would know the divine presence as your hope, and that the Lord would restore what has been taken and keep you from further harm, in the name of Jesus Christ our only Savior, Amen.
