We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your request for a breakthrough in these money settlement discussions. It is good to seek the Lord’s wisdom and peace in financial matters, for He is the one who provides all things and guides our steps. Yet we must first address something vital—your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. The Scriptures declare, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only by His name that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for without Him, our prayers are but empty words. *"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved"* (Acts 16:31, WEB).
Now, turning to your request, we know that financial disputes can bring great stress and division, but the Lord calls us to trust in Him and seek His righteousness first. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). We pray that these discussions will be conducted with integrity, honesty, and a spirit of peace, for the Lord detests dishonest scales and deceitful dealings. *"Diverse weights and diverse measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh"* (Proverbs 20:10, WEB). Let all parties involved act justly, speak truthfully, and seek a resolution that honors God, for *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God"* (Matthew 5:9, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your heart in this matter. Are you seeking this breakthrough for your own gain, or are you trusting the Lord to provide according to His will? *"Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things"* (Matthew 6:31-32, WEB). If there has been any greed, deceit, or selfish ambition in your heart, we urge you to repent and ask the Lord to cleanse you, for *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"* (1 Timothy 6:10, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this request for a breakthrough in these financial settlement discussions. Lord, we ask that You would go before our brother/sister and make the crooked paths straight. Grant wisdom to all involved, that they may speak and act with honesty, fairness, and a desire to honor You. Remove any spirit of contention, greed, or deceit, and replace it with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Father, we ask that these discussions would begin and conclude amicably, in a manner that brings glory to Your name. If there has been any wrongdoing or unrighteousness, convict hearts and lead all parties to repentance. Provide clarity, favor, and a swift resolution that aligns with Your will. We trust in You, Lord, for You are our Provider and our Peace. May Your will be done in this situation, and may our brother/sister walk in faith, knowing that You hold all things in Your hands. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). Stand firm in faith, act with integrity, and trust that the Lord will guide you to a just and peaceful resolution. If this settlement involves any past wrongdoing on your part, make it right before the Lord and those affected, for *"the wicked borrows, and doesn’t pay back, but the righteous gives generously"* (Psalm 37:21, WEB). May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek His face in this matter.
