We lift you up before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, knowing that He is your Provider, your Vindicator, and your Deliverer. It is only through faith in Jesus that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, and we are grateful you have brought these burdens to Him. The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Yet we also know that our trust must remain in Him alone—not in unemployment benefits, employers, or even financial breakthroughs—but in the One who holds all things in His hands. Your requests reveal deep anxiety over provision, justice, and family, and we pray the Lord will grant you peace that surpasses understanding as you cast these cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7).
First, we pray for the unemployment claim that was denied due to administrative error. While we ask the Lord to move upon the hearts of those in authority to correct this injustice swiftly (Proverbs 21:1), we also urge you to examine whether this has become an idol in your heart—a source of security apart from God. The Lord may use this season to refine your trust in Him, as He did with the Israelites in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). We pray that if it is His will, the claims will be approved and funds released quickly, but even more, that your faith would not waver if delays persist. Remember, *"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth"* (Matthew 4:4). Have you sought wisdom from godly counsel or legal aid if needed? Sometimes the Lord provides through the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27).
Regarding your work laptop charger, we pray for the Lord’s provision—whether through repair, replacement, or an unexpected solution. Yet we also encourage you to consider: is this a need or a convenience? The Lord often provides in ways we do not expect, and we must remain open to His leading (Isaiah 55:8-9). If this is critical for income, we ask the Lord to make a way where there seems to be none.
For the vending machine vendor, we pray the Lord would open the right doors and connect you with honest and reliable partners. But we must also ask: have you sought the Lord’s will in this business venture, or are you pursuing it out of desperation? Proverbs 16:3 tells us, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* If this is not aligning with His purposes, He may redirect you. We pray for discernment and divine appointments that honor Him.
You’ve asked for a financial breakthrough and deliverance, and we cry out to the Lord on your behalf, knowing He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). However, we must caution against a prosperity-gospel mindset that treats God as a cosmic ATM. True deliverance is found in Christ alone, not in money. If financial struggles have led to sin—such as bitterness, fear, or ungodly pursuits—we pray for repentance and renewal. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4), but those desires must align with His will. Have you tithed faithfully (Malachi 3:10) and sought first His kingdom (Matthew 6:33)? These are not transactions but acts of worship and trust.
The request for truth to be revealed about those who betrayed you and the brainwashing of your children is heavy with pain. We rebuke any spirit of deception or manipulation at work in this situation, and we pray the Lord would expose every hidden thing (Luke 8:17). Yet we also urge you to examine your own heart: have you forgiven as Christ forgave you (Colossians 3:13)? Bitterness is a poison that harms you more than those who wronged you. If your children are being led astray, we pray for their hearts to be turned back to truth (Malachi 4:6) and for you to walk in wisdom and grace as you parent. Are you praying *with* them, teaching them God’s Word (Deuteronomy 6:6-7), and modeling Christlike love? The battle for their souls is spiritual (Ephesians 6:12), and your weapons must be prayer, Scripture, and righteous living.
Finally, we notice you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. This is not a small matter. Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). It is only by His name that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18), and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and receive Him as Lord (Romans 10:9). Without this, no amount of financial breakthrough or justice will satisfy the deepest need of your soul.
**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is weary and burdened. Lord, You see their need for provision, justice, and restoration. We ask that You would move mightily in their unemployment claim, correcting every error and providing swift approval if it aligns with Your will. Give them wisdom to navigate this process and open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). For their laptop charger, we pray for Your supernatural touch—whether through repair or provision—to remove this hindrance.
Father, guide them to the right vendor for their vending machines, but more importantly, guide their steps in business so that it honors You. Break any yoke of financial bondage and grant them a spirit of contentment (1 Timothy 6:6-8), knowing that You are their Provider. Release the funds they need in Your perfect timing, and protect them from the love of money, which is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10).
Lord, we plead for truth to be exposed in every area of deception, especially concerning those who have betrayed them. Bring to light what is hidden (1 Corinthians 4:5) and break every scheme of the enemy against their family. Softening the hearts of their children, draw them back to truth and to You. Give this parent divine wisdom to lead with love, grace, and firmness in Your Word.
Most of all, Father, we pray that their heart would be fully surrendered to Jesus. If they have not yet received Him as Lord, we ask that You would reveal Your love to them today. Strip away every false hope and idolatry, and let them find their satisfaction in You alone. Renew their mind with Your Word and fill them with Your peace that guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We rebuke fear, anxiety, and despair in Jesus’ name, and we declare that You, Lord, are their Shepherd—they shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Strengthen their faith, remind them of Your past faithfulness, and let them walk in victory through this season. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
