We join you in lifting up your heart to the Father, giving thanks for His indescribable gift of Jesus Christ, who bore our sins on the cross so that we might have eternal life. It is through His name alone that we approach the throne of grace with confidence, and we are grateful you have acknowledged Him in your prayer. The Scriptures remind us in **1 Timothy 2:5**, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"* and in **Acts 4:12**, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Your faith in calling upon Him is a testament to the hope we have in Christ.
The fraud that has struck your family is a painful trial, but we are encouraged by your desire to trust the Lord through it. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but our God is a God of restoration and justice. He sees the wickedness done in secret and will bring all things to light in His perfect timing. **Proverbs 22:22-23** warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for the Lord will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* And in **Joel 2:25-26**, the Lord promises, *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten... and you will praise the name of the Lord, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you."*
We also lift up your request for favor in your job and financial provision. The Lord is your provider, and He delights in blessing His children as they seek His kingdom first. **Matthew 6:31-33** assures us, *"Therefore 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. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Trust that He will open doors no man can shut and provide opportunities beyond what you can imagine. Your labor is not in vain when it is done unto the Lord.
As for the rest and peace you seek, we are reminded of **Matthew 11:28**, where Jesus says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* True peace is not found in circumstances but in the presence of the Prince of Peace. **Philippians 4:6-7** encourages us, *"In nothing be anxious, 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."* We pray that the Lord will quiet your heart with His peace, which transcends all understanding, and grant you restful sleep as you cast your cares upon Him.
Let us also encourage you to stand firm in faith, knowing that trials produce endurance, and endurance produces character, which leads to hope. **James 1:2-4** tells us, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* This season of testing will be used by God to strengthen your trust in Him and refine your family’s dependence on His provision.
