We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your requests with faith and perseverance, trusting that our Heavenly Father hears and acts on behalf of His children. First, we must address that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. Scripture reminds us in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*, and in Acts 4:12, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard, and we encourage you to always pray in His name, for He is our mediator before God.
We also want to gently remind you that while we seek God’s provision and justice, we must guard our hearts against bitterness or unforgiveness toward those who have wronged you. The betrayal you’ve experienced and the pain of any manipulation involving your children are deeply grievous, but Scripture calls us to forgive as Christ forgave us (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean excusing sin or failing to seek justice, but it does mean releasing the burden of vengeance to the Lord. Romans 12:19 tells us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
Let us pray together for your needs, trusting in God’s sovereignty and timing.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing trials on multiple fronts. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we ask that You move mightily in their financial situation. We pray for favor with the unemployment office—that any administrative errors would be corrected, that denied claims would be approved, and that the funds owed would be released swiftly. You, Lord, own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and we trust You to open doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:8). Provide a breakthrough in their finances, Lord, and lead them to the right vendors for their vending machines. Restore their laptop charger as a sign of Your provision, and let it be a reminder that You supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Father, we also pray for restoration in their work life. If it is Your will, open the door for them to return to their previous employment or guide them to even better opportunities. Give them wisdom and discernment as they seek Your direction. We rebuke any spirit of delay or hindrance in Jesus’ name, declaring that what the enemy has stolen will be restored sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31).
Lord, we lift up the painful situation involving betrayal and the well-being of their children. Father, expose every lie and deception that has been spoken against them or used to turn their children’s hearts. Let the truth prevail, and bring conviction to those who have acted unjustly. Soften the hearts of their children, Lord, and break any ungodly influence over them. We pray for reconciliation and healing in these relationships, that Your love would abound and that forgiveness would flow. Remind our brother/sister that even in this, You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Finally, Father, we ask for deliverance from any spiritual oppression or anxiety that may be weighing them down. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for them (Exodus 14:14). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust in You with all their heart, leaning not on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We declare victory in Jesus’ name, knowing that You are faithful and just to answer. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in every detail of this situation. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Psalm 37:5-6 says, *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* Stay steadfast in faith, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). If you have not already, surrender this entire situation to the Lord, and ask Him to align your desires with His will. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
If there is any area of your life where you need to repent or seek forgiveness, we urge you to do so. Unconfessed sin can hinder our prayers (Psalm 66:18), but when we turn to the Lord with a repentant heart, He is quick to forgive and restore (1 John 1:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and trust that He is working even in the waiting.
