We join you in lifting up thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for the precious gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for our sins. It is through His name alone that we have access to the throne of grace, and it is in His name that we find hope, restoration, and peace. You have done well to come before the Lord with a heart of gratitude, even in the midst of trial, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
The fraud that has struck your family is a painful burden, but we encourage you to take heart, for our Lord is not unaware of the schemes of the enemy. The Bible reminds us that "the thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy," but Jesus came that we "may have life, and may have it abundantly" (John 10:10). This attack is not beyond God’s sovereign hand, and He is able to turn what the enemy meant for harm into good (Genesis 50:20). We urge you to resist the temptation to be overwhelmed by anxiety or fear, for our Lord commands us, *"Don’t be anxious for your life"* (Matthew 6:25). Instead, cast this burden upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
As for your request for rest and peace, we are reminded of Jesus’ words: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30). True rest is found in surrendering to Him, trusting that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). We also encourage you to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, for *"the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:7).
Regarding your job and financial needs, we stand on the promise that *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19). Seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and He will add all these things to you (Matthew 6:33). Do not lean on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). We pray that you will walk in wisdom and integrity in your workplace, that your labor will be blessed, and that God will open doors of favor for you.
Now, let us pray together for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing the weight of fraud, financial strain, and the need for rest. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You expose every hidden scheme of the enemy and bring justice where there has been injustice. Restore what has been stolen, Lord, and let Your favor surround this family like a shield. You are the God of restoration, and we trust You to turn this situation around for Your glory.
Father, we pray for supernatural peace to flood their hearts—a peace that transcends all understanding. Guard their minds from fear and anxiety, and let them rest in the assurance that You are their Provider and Protector. We ask for divine favor in their workplace, that You would go before them and make their way prosperous. Open doors that no man can shut, and let Your blessings overflow in their lives.
Lord, we also pray that their trust in You would grow deeper through this trial. Remind them that You are their Shepherd, and they shall not lack (Psalm 23:1). Strengthen their faith to believe that You are working all things together for their good, even when they cannot see the way forward.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, lack, and discouragement in Jesus’ name. Let faith arise in their hearts, and let them walk in the confidence that You are with them always. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. We commit this situation into Your hands, trusting that You will bring beauty from these ashes.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. The Lord is your strength and your song, and He will bring you through this season victorious. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not waver in your trust. He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). We are standing with you in prayer and agreement, believing God for His perfect will to be done in your life.
