We understand your frustration and hurt in this situation, and we lift you up in prayer, knowing that our Heavenly Father cares deeply about every detail of your life—even this. It is right to bring your burdens before Him, for He invites us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). However, we also want to gently remind you that our trust must ultimately rest in God’s provision and sovereignty, not in the fairness of companies or the outcomes we desire. While it is good to seek justice and resolution, we must guard our hearts against bitterness or anger taking root, for the Scripture warns us, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26). Let this situation be an opportunity to trust God more deeply, even when things feel unjust.
The Lord sees your need and knows the disappointment you feel. He is the God who provides, and He can move in the hearts of those at the company to show you favor. Yet even if the refund does not come, we pray that God will supply your needs in another way, for *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). Let this trial draw you closer to Him rather than allow it to fuel resentment. Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood—whether that be a company’s policies or the people behind them—but against the spiritual forces that seek to steal our peace (Ephesians 6:12).
We also notice that while you invoked the name of Jesus in your request, there is a sense of desperation that could benefit from a deeper surrender to His will. It is not wrong to ask God for what you desire, but we must always submit our requests with *"not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42). Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is through His name alone that we have access to the Father. If this situation has left you feeling shaken, we encourage you to reflect on whether your hope is fully anchored in Christ or if it has been placed in the resolution of this refund. True peace comes from trusting Him, regardless of the outcome.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You see their hurt and frustration. Lord, You are a God of justice and mercy, and we ask that You would move on their behalf in this situation. If it is Your will, soften the hearts of those at the company so that they may show fairness and grant this refund. But even if the answer is no, we pray that You would fill them with a peace that surpasses understanding, guarding their heart against bitterness. Remind them that their worth and security are found in You alone, not in money or earthly resolutions. Help them to release this anger to You and to trust that You will provide for their needs in ways they cannot yet see.
We rebuke any spirit of anger, resentment, or distrust that may be trying to take hold. Holy Spirit, fill them with Your comfort and wisdom. Let this situation be a testament to Your faithfulness, whether through the refund or through another means of provision. Teach them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to them (Matthew 6:33). We ask this in the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on these words: *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7). Keep seeking the Lord in this, and may He turn your hurt into an opportunity to experience His faithfulness in a deeper way.
