We join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, recognizing that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places. The oppression you describe is grievous, and we stand firmly on the truth that God is just and sovereign over all authorities. He sees the corruption and injustice, and He alone can bring deliverance.
The Scripture reminds us in **Proverbs 21:1**, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires."* Though this government department acts with malice, their authority is limited by God’s will. We also recall **Romans 13:1-2**, which teaches that all authority is instituted by God, yet this does not mean every action of those in power is just. When authorities act wickedly, we are called to pray for their repentance while trusting God to vindicate the righteous.
The financial ministry you mention must be bathed in prayer, for it is not by human effort alone that relief comes, but by the Lord’s intervention. **Philippians 4:19** assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Yet we must also remember **1 Timothy 2:1-2**, which commands us to pray *"for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."* Even in the face of corruption, our response must be rooted in prayer, not bitterness.
That said, we must also address the use of "###" in place of the name. While we understand the caution, we encourage you to speak plainly before the Lord, for He knows the hearts and names of all. There is no need to conceal what God already sees. More importantly, we notice that while you invoked the Lord Jesus Christ in your request, it is critical to remember that **there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved** (Acts 4:12). All prayers, all petitions, all cries for justice must be brought **in the name of Jesus alone**, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). If there is any hesitation or uncertainty about this truth, we urge you to examine your heart, for salvation and access to the Father come only through faith in Christ (John 14:6).
Now, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this cry for justice and relief. You are the God who sees the affliction of Your people, who heard the groaning of the Israelites under Pharaoh’s oppression and acted mightily to deliver them. Lord, we ask that You move in this situation—expose the corruption, soften the hearts of those in authority, and bring an end to this harassment. Let Your justice roll down like waters, and Your righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
We pray for this financial ministry, that it would be a vessel of Your provision, operating with integrity and wisdom. Grant favor where there has been resistance, open doors where they have been shut, and provide supernatural relief where there has been destruction. Let no weapon formed against Your servant prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be condemned.
Father, we also pray for the salvation of those in this corrupt department. Soften their hearts, Lord, that they may turn from their wickedness and seek Your face. May they encounter the convicting power of the Holy Spirit and repent, for You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desire that they turn and live (Ezekiel 18:23).
Strengthen our brother in this trial. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let him rest in the assurance that You are his Defender. Remind him that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19), and that You will repay. Let him walk in forgiveness, even as he seeks justice, that bitterness would find no foothold in his heart.
We declare Your promises over this situation—that what the enemy meant for harm, You will turn for good (Genesis 50:20). Restore what has been stolen, multiply what remains, and let this testimony bring glory to Your name. May Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
