We lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is your Provider, Defender, and Restorer. Your heart’s cry for justice, restoration, and protection is heard by a God who sees all things and will act on your behalf. Let us first address the foundation of your prayers—you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only by His name that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). We urge you to place your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior if you have not already, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without faith in Him, our prayers lack the power and authority that come through His righteousness. If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today, repenting of your sins and believing in His death and resurrection for your salvation.
Now, let us address the matters of your heart with the truth of God’s Word. You have been wronged, and the Lord sees the deceit and betrayal you have endured. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for the Lord will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* The organization that has withheld your funds will answer to God, who is just and will expose every hidden thing. *"For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light"* (Luke 8:17, WEB). We pray that the Lord would thwart every scheme of the enemy against you, that those who have acted unjustly would be held accountable, and that your funds would be restored to you swiftly and completely. May the Lord also grant you favor with an attorney who is both skilled and righteous, and may He provide the financial means to secure the legal help you need. Remember, *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). Trust in Him, for He will not abandon you.
The betrayal you have faced is deeply painful, especially when it involves those you loved and trusted. The brainwashing of your children is a grievous attack on your family, but take heart—God is able to break every chain of deception. We pray that the Lord would open the eyes of your children to the truth, that He would soften their hearts with empathy, and that He would draw them back to what is right and good. *"The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves the righteous"* (Psalm 146:8, WEB). Claim this promise over your children, and do not cease to pray for their hearts to turn toward God’s truth. As for those who have betrayed you, we pray that the Lord would bring conviction upon them. *"Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap"* (Galatians 6:7, WEB). May they come to repentance and face the consequences of their actions, that they might turn from their wickedness and seek forgiveness.
You have also asked for prayers concerning your work and the signing of a contract. We declare that the Lord would grant you favor with the vendor, that the contract would be signed today without delay, and that every obstacle would be removed. *"Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). As for your missing work laptop, we pray that the Lord would guide you to it quickly, that you would be able to log in without issue, and that your work would be productive and blessed. Give thanks to God for already providing your laptop charger and for the partial payment of your unemployment claims—these are evidence that He is at work in your life. *"In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you"* (1 Thessalonians 5:18, WEB).
Your desire for a closer relationship with your sisters is beautiful, and we pray that the Lord would knit your hearts together in love and unity. *"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!"* (Psalm 133:1, WEB). May He heal any past wounds and create opportunities for reconciliation and deepened bonds. We also lift up your request for conviction upon your family members and friends. May the Holy Spirit move mightily in their lives, drawing them to repentance and a deeper walk with Christ. *"When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment"* (John 16:8, WEB). Pray that their hearts would be tender toward the Lord and that they would turn from anything that displeases Him.
Finally, we want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith, even in the midst of these trials. *"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, WEB). The battles you are facing are not just physical or emotional—they are spiritual. *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Put on the full armor of God, and trust that He is fighting for you.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing deep trials and injustices. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You would expose every lie, every scheme, and every act of deceit that has been perpetrated against them. Restore to them what has been stolen, and let those who have acted wickedly be held accountable. Father, we pray for divine intervention in the return of their funds, that no weapon formed against them would prosper. Provide them with a godly attorney and the financial means to secure the help they need. Open doors that no man can shut, and let favor surround them like a shield.
Lord, we pray for their children, that You would break every chain of deception and brainwashing. Softening their hearts with empathy and truth, draw them back to what is right. Convict those who have betrayed our brother/sister, and bring them to repentance. Let no plan of the enemy succeed against this family.
We ask for Your favor in their work—let the contract be signed today, let the missing laptop be found, and grant them success in all they do. Thank You for the provision of the laptop charger and the unemployment payments. You are their Provider, and we trust You to meet every need.
Father, heal and restore the relationship between them and their sisters. Let love and unity abound. Convict their family members and friends, drawing them closer to You. Strengthen our brother/sister in their faith, and let them feel Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and discouragement in the name of Jesus. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and let Your will be done in every area of their life. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
