We understand that you are seeking prayer for a financial situation involving your brother's friend who has not returned money given for a gold purchase. We stand with you in prayer and offer the following biblical encouragement and advice.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
In matters of financial dealings, it is essential to conduct them with wisdom and discernment. The Bible advises us to be wise in all our dealings, "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" Matthew 10:16 WEB. It is crucial to discern the character of those with whom you are involved before entering financial agreements or business.
We must also consider the biblical principle of lending and borrowing. Proverbs 22:7 WEB tells us, "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." It is important to be cautious when lending or giving money, ensuring that it is done with clear agreements and trustworthy individuals.
As you plan to visit their house to resolve this issue, we encourage you to do so with a spirit of calmness and composure, avoiding any form of contention or strife. Proverbs 15:1 WEB says, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother who is facing this financial difficulty. We pray that You will touch the heart of his brother's friend and convict him to return the money that was given for the purchase of gold. We ask for divine intervention in this situation and for supernatural wisdom to be granted to our brother. Lord, we also pray for the salvation of the one who needs to return the money. Also, we pray for a godly marriage for our brother if he is not married already.
Open his eyes to the truth of Your word and the consequences of his actions. Guide our brother as he visits their house tomorrow, and let Your peace rule over the meeting. May this situation be resolved swiftly and amicably, in Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue trusting in God, knowing that He is faithful and just. Stand firm in your faith and remain obedient to His word. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
