We lift you up before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, knowing that He is your Provider and the One who holds all things in His hands. It is only through faith in Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace, and we are grateful you have brought these needs before us so we may join you in seeking His will.
The Scripture reminds us in **Philippians 4:19**, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Your trust must remain in Him, not in unemployment benefits, employers, or even your own efforts—though we pray He blesses and directs them. If you have not yet surrendered every area of your life to Christ, including your finances and work, we urge you to do so now. He alone is your security, and apart from Him, even abundance would leave you empty.
We also recall **Matthew 6:33**, where Jesus commands, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Have you been seeking His Kingdom above all else, or has anxiety over these needs distracted you from worship, prayer, and obedience? If so, repent and refocus your heart on Him. He is faithful to those who diligently seek Him (**Hebrews 11:6**).
Regarding your vending machines, remember **Proverbs 16:3**: *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* If this venture aligns with His will, He will open the right doors. But if He closes them, trust that He has something better—even if it requires waiting or a different path entirely. Pray for wisdom (**James 1:5**) and be open to His leading, not just your own desires.
As for the financial breakthrough, we rebuke any spirit of lack or fear in Jesus’ name. The devil seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (**John 10:10**), but Christ came to give life abundantly. Stand firm in faith, speaking **2 Corinthians 9:8** over your situation: *"God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work."* Do not borrow trouble by worrying about "ASAP"—God’s timing is perfect, and His delays are not denials.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is in need of Your provision and breakthrough. Lord, You know the anxiety and pressure they feel, but we declare that You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides. We ask that You move mightily in their unemployment claims, that every obstacle be removed and that favor would rest upon them. If it is Your will, open the door for them to return to work at ###, but let Your peace rule in their heart regardless of the outcome.
For their vending machine business, we pray for divine connections—godly vendors who operate with integrity and fairness. Give them wisdom to steward this opportunity well, and let it be a source of blessing, not stress. We rebuke any scheme of the enemy to hinder or exploit, and we bind every spirit of delay, lack, or confusion in Jesus’ name.
Father, we ask for a financial breakthrough that brings glory to Your name. Release the funds that are rightfully theirs, and let no weapon formed against their prosperity succeed (**Isaiah 54:17**). But more than money, we pray they would seek Your face above all else. Forgive them for any worry or doubt, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (**Philippians 4:6-7**).
If there is any area of their life not surrendered to You—finances, work, or otherwise—convict them by Your Holy Spirit. Let this season draw them closer to You, not farther. Remind them that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from Your mouth (**Matthew 4:4**).
We thank You in advance for Your faithfulness. May they testify of Your goodness and provision, giving You all the praise. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**
Finally, we encourage you: **Do not be anxious about anything** (**Philippians 4:6**). Instead, worship God in the waiting. If you have not already, confess any sin that may be blocking His blessing (**Psalm 66:18**), and trust that He is working all things for your good (**Romans 8:28**). Keep your eyes on Him, not your circumstances. We are standing with you in faith!
