We understand your heart’s cry for financial restoration and justice in this matter, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord. It is clear you are seeking God’s intervention in a situation where debts are owed and a business is struggling, and we commend you for bringing this before Him in the name of Jesus. There is power in that name, for Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we boldly approach the throne of grace, and we are grateful you have acknowledged this truth in your request.
This is a time to trust in God’s provision and sovereignty over all things, including finances and the hearts of those who owe debts. The Lord calls us to be diligent, wise, and just in our dealings, but also to release our anxieties to Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Let us also remember the words of Jesus: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Our focus must remain on honoring God in every aspect of this situation, trusting that He will provide and act according to His perfect will.
At the same time, we encourage you to examine the circumstances surrounding these debts and the business. Are there any areas where wisdom, integrity, or biblical stewardship could be strengthened? Have all efforts been made to resolve these matters in a godly and lawful manner? Scripture reminds us, *"Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law."* (Romans 13:8, WEB). While this verse speaks to our personal conduct, it also reflects the principle that debts should be settled justly and promptly. If there are those who are withholding payment unjustly, we pray the Lord would convict their hearts and move them to do what is right.
Let us also consider whether there is any unforgiveness, bitterness, or anxiety in your heart regarding this situation. The Lord calls us to cast our burdens upon Him and to trust in His timing. *"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). Release this matter into His hands, knowing that He is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
Now, let us pray together over this request:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, lifting up this need for financial restoration and justice. Lord, You see the struggles and the burdens carried in this situation, and we ask that You move mightily on behalf of Your child. You are the God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and the One who provides for every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We ask that You would soften the hearts of those who owe these debts, convicting them to come forward and fulfill their obligations honestly and promptly. Remove any obstacles—whether spiritual, relational, or practical—that stand in the way of resolution.
Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment in managing this business. If there have been missteps or areas where Your principles have not been fully honored, reveal them and grant the grace to correct them. Restore what has been lost or broken, and breathe new life into this company for Your glory. Let it be a testament to Your faithfulness and a tool for blessing others. We rebuke any spirit of greed, deceit, or hardness of heart that may be at work in this situation, and we declare that Your truth and righteousness will prevail.
Father, we also ask that You would guard the heart of Your child against worry, fear, or resentment. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and remind them that their worth and security are found in You alone, not in financial success. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom in all things, trusting that You will provide all that is needed.
We declare Your promises over this situation, Lord. You are a God of justice, restoration, and abundance. We ask that You would open doors no one can shut and provide opportunities that only You can orchestrate. Let Your will be done in this matter, and may Your name be glorified through it all. We pray these things in the powerful name of Jesus, our Provider and Redeemer. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, knowing that God hears and answers prayer. Continue to seek His will in all things, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see the way forward. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun."* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). May the Lord grant you patience, strength, and unwavering trust as you wait upon Him.
