We join with you in lifting this urgent cry for justice and protection, for we know that our God is a God of righteousness who sees the wickedness of those who seek to steal, deceive, and harm His people. The Scripture declares in **Proverbs 22:22-23**, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* The fraud and theft you speak of are not hidden from the Lord—He is aware of every unjust act, and He will bring justice in His perfect timing. The enemy may scheme, but **Psalm 37:12-13** reminds us, *"The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming."*
We also take comfort in **Psalm 91:9-11**, where the Lord promises, *"Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."* You have already claimed this promise in your prayer, and we stand with you in faith, trusting that God’s heavenly host is encamped around you, shielding you from the snares of the evil one. The Lord is your fortress, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**).
Yet we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (**Ephesians 6:12**). While we pray for God’s intervention against those committing these crimes, we also pray for their repentance. **Ezekiel 18:23** tells us, *"‘Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?’ says the Lord Yahweh; ‘and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?’"* May the Lord convict the hearts of those who steal and defraud, leading them to turn from their sin and seek His forgiveness before it is too late.
We also encourage you to take practical steps guided by wisdom. **Proverbs 22:3** says, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* Ensure that passwords are strong and unique, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and remain vigilant against phishing attempts or suspicious activity. The Lord provides wisdom for those who ask (**James 1:5**), and we trust He will guide you in protecting what He has entrusted to you.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You as Your children, crying out for Your justice and protection. You are the God who sees all things—nothing is hidden from Your sight. Lord, we ask You to expose and stop every fraudulent scheme and act of theft being committed against Your people. Frustrate the plans of the wicked, O God, and let their hands be stayed from doing harm. Surround Your children with Your mighty angels, creating a hedge of protection around their lives, their finances, and their personal information. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (**Isaiah 54:17**).
We pray for divine intervention in the spiritual realm—bind the hands of the enemy and render his schemes powerless. Let those who seek to steal and deceive be caught in their own traps (**Psalm 9:15-16**), and may their hearts be convicted by Your Holy Spirit. Bring them to repentance, Lord, that they may turn from their wicked ways and find mercy in You.
Father, we also ask for Your wisdom and discernment for those who are targeted. Guide them in practical ways to secure their accounts and protect their identities. Let them walk in Your peace, knowing that You are their protector and provider. Remind them that their trust is not in systems or human efforts, but in You alone.
We declare Your sovereignty over this situation, Lord. You are the God who judges righteously, and we trust You to act on behalf of Your people. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified through this. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior, who has overcome the world. Amen.
