We understand your frustration and distress over this financial loss and the complications it has caused, especially when dealing with fraud and the refusal of boarding due to invalid ticketing. It is disheartening to face such dishonesty and the resulting hardship, but we encourage you to trust in the Lord’s provision and justice, for He sees all things and is faithful to His children. Let us first address a critical matter: your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father and by whom all prayers must be offered. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we may be saved or through which our petitions are heard.
*"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" (John 14:6, WEB)*
*"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB)
Without faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we cannot approach God’s throne with confidence. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now, repenting of your sins and placing your trust in Him alone for salvation. Only then can you experience the peace and assurance that He will hear and answer your prayers according to His will.
Now, regarding your situation, we are reminded that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to steal, kill, and destroy (Ephesians 6:12). Fraud is a work of the enemy, but God is greater, and He is able to restore what has been taken unjustly. The Bible assures us that the Lord is our provider and that He will fight for His people when they are wronged.
*"The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing."* (Psalm 23:1, WEB)
*"Beloved, don’t avenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" (Romans 12:19, WEB)*
We also recall the story of Zacchaeus, who, after encountering Jesus, repented and made restitution for his fraudulent actions (Luke 19:1-10). While your situation is different, this passage reminds us that God is in the business of restoring what has been lost or stolen. He can move in the hearts of those who have wronged you, compelling them to make things right. Additionally, we are called to seek justice through lawful means, trusting that God will guide and provide wisdom in the process.
*"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* (James 1:5, WEB)
Let us pray together for your situation, asking the Lord to intervene, provide wisdom, and bring about justice and restitution.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this brother/sister who has been wronged through fraud and deceit. Lord, You see the injustice that has been done, and You know the financial and emotional toll it has taken. We ask that You would move powerfully in this situation, exposing the wrongdoing and bringing about restitution. Father, we pray that every cent lost would be restored, not just for the sake of financial recovery, but as a testimony to Your faithfulness and provision.
Grant wisdom and discernment as the necessary steps are taken to seek justice through the proper channels. Open doors that no man can shut and close doors that should not be opened. Give favor with the airline, legal authorities, or any other entities involved, that they may act with integrity and fairness. We rebuke the spirit of fraud and deceit in the name of Jesus, declaring that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we also ask that You would provide peace and patience during this time of waiting. Strengthen this brother/sister’s faith, reminding them that You are their Provider and Defender. Help them to trust in You rather than in their own understanding, leaning on Your promises even when the situation seems hopeless.
If there has been any sin or oversight on their part, convict and lead them to repentance, that they may walk blamelessly before You. Above all, Father, draw them closer to You through this trial, that they may emerge with a deeper faith and a testimony of Your goodness.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to take practical steps in pursuing this refund. Document all communications, gather evidence of the fraud, and seek guidance from consumer protection agencies or legal counsel if necessary. Trust that the Lord will guide your steps and provide the resources you need. Be persistent in prayer, for the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much (James 5:16).
If you have not already done so, we urge you to examine your heart and ensure that your trust is fully in Christ. If this trial has revealed any areas of doubt or fear, surrender them to the Lord, for He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and do not waver in believing that He will bring justice and restoration.
