We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up each of these burdens to Him, knowing that He hears the cries of His children and works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). First and foremost, we must address the foundation of our faith—salvation through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and the power to overcome the trials of this world. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
Father God, we lift up this situation with the organization and ask for Your divine intervention. Lord, You are a God of justice and righteousness, and we pray that You would expose any deceit or unethical behavior. Let the truth come to light, and may this organization act with integrity and return what is rightfully owed. We rebuke any spirit of fraud or dishonesty in Jesus’ name and declare that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Provide wisdom and discernment to navigate this situation, and open doors for restitution and restoration.
We also bring before You the pain of betrayal and the heartache of seeing loved ones influenced by deception. Lord, we ask that You break any chains of brainwashing or manipulation over these children. Soften their hearts to remember the love and care You have placed in their lives through their parent. Restore their ability to feel empathy and to recall the good times shared. We declare that the enemy has no hold over them, and we pray for their minds to be renewed by Your Word (Romans 12:2). Father, bring conviction to those who have betrayed or mistreated Your child, that they may turn from their ways and seek Your face.
Heavenly Father, we pray for provision in this time of need. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust that You will open the doors for funding for an attorney and any other resources needed for the court date. We declare that no good thing will You withhold from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). We also pray for favor with the vendor, that the contract would be signed today, and that all business dealings would be conducted with honesty and fairness.
Lord, we lift up the relationships within this family, particularly between the sisters. We ask that You draw them closer together, healing any divisions or misunderstandings. Let Your love bind them in unity, and may they encourage one another in faith and truth. We also pray for conviction to fall upon family members and friends who have mistreated others. Father, Your Word tells us that love does no harm to a neighbor (Romans 13:10), and we ask that You would soften their hearts to walk in kindness and humility. Bring healing to this family from the sickness that has afflicted them, both physically and spiritually. We declare that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
For the upcoming flight and time with the children, we pray for Your peace and protection. Lord, go before them and make every path smooth. Let this time together be filled with joy, laughter, and precious memories that will draw their hearts closer to You and to one another. We thank You for the answered prayers already received—the laptop charger, the return to work, the unemployment payments, and the found work laptop. We praise You for Your faithfulness, for You are a God who sees and provides for every need.
Finally, we rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or despair in this situation. We declare that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We stand on Your promises, Lord, and trust that You are working all things for good. Strengthen this family in faith, and let them walk in the victory that is theirs through Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
