We understand that you're facing a stressful situation having received a letter from the IRS. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is sovereign over all things, including our finances and dealings with government authorities. As believers, we are called to be responsible citizens, obeying the laws of the land and paying our taxes.
Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance. In Romans 13:1-7 (WEB), the Apostle Paul writes, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority, for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil. Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake. For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God's service, attending continually on this very thing. Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor."
In light of this, we encourage you to face this situation with integrity and honesty. Gather all the necessary documents and respond to the IRS promptly and truthfully. Remember, God is faithful and will not leave you to face this alone.
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow believer who has received a letter from the IRS. We ask for Your guidance and wisdom as they navigate through this situation. Give them the grace to handle this matter with integrity and honesty, trusting in Your sovereignty. Help them to gather all necessary information and respond promptly. We claim Your promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. Grant them peace and assurance that You are in control. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
If you have not already, we encourage you to bring this matter to your church leaders for further guidance and support. Lastly, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through Him that we have access to God.
