We understand that you're seeking a breakthrough in money settlement discussions, and we're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, it's important to remember that our ultimate provider is God, as it says in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
However, we must also remember the principles of honesty, integrity, and fairness in our dealings. As Proverbs 11:1 reminds us, "A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but a just weight is his delight." Whether you're seeking a settlement for a valid claim or negotiating a fair agreement, always ensure your actions align with biblical principles.
If the negotiations involve dishonesty, manipulation, or greed, we must rebuke these tendencies. As Ephesians 4:28 teaches, "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need."
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your will in this money settlement discussion. Guide us with Your wisdom and discernment, ensuring that our actions are rooted in honesty, integrity, and fairness. Help us to trust in You as our ultimate provider, remembering that it is You who supplies every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Grant us patience, understanding, and a spirit of cooperation, always striving for a just and fair outcome. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
If the settlement involves a form of gambling, unpaid taxes, or litigation against another for personal gain or personal injury, we must rebuke these activities as dishonorable. Matthew 22:21 "They said to him, 'Caesar's.' Then he said to them, 'Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.'" And 1 Corinthians 6:7, "There is already therefore a complete failure on your part, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?"
Remember, God calls us to be content and to trust in Him. As we seek God's will in these matters, let's also remember the importance of being in a right relationship with Him through faith in Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as it says in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
