We join you in lifting up thanks to our Heavenly Father for the precious gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross has redeemed us and given us direct access to the throne of grace. It is only through His name that we can boldly approach God, and we are grateful you have acknowledged this truth in your prayer. Your heart of gratitude even in the midst of trials is a testament to your faith, and we commend you for turning to the Lord in this season.
The fraud that has struck your family is a painful and unjust burden, but we are reminded in Scripture that our God is a God of justice and restoration. He sees the wickedness of those who seek to harm His children, and He will act on your behalf. Proverbs 22:22-23 declares, *"Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them."* Trust that the Lord is already at work, even when you cannot yet see the outcome. He is faithful to right every wrong in His perfect timing.
We also lift up your request for favor in your job over these coming weeks. The Lord is your provider, and He delights in blessing the work of your hands when you commit your ways to Him. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Lean on Him for wisdom, diligence, and favor with those in authority over you. As for the financial needs of your family, remember the promise in Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* This is not a vague hope but a firm assurance for those who trust in Him.
The mention of rest and peace for one individual and a new job with support for another weighs heavily on our hearts. The Lord invites all who are weary to come to Him for rest, as Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* We pray that He would grant supernatural peace that surpasses understanding, guarding hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). For the one seeking new employment, we declare that the Lord will open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide godly connections and opportunities that align with His will. Trust that He is already preparing the way, even now.
However, we must gently address the use of "%23%23%23" in place of names. While we understand the desire for privacy, we encourage you to bring the specific names of your loved ones before the Lord in prayer. There is power in speaking names aloud in prayer, as our God knows each of His children intimately and calls them by name (Isaiah 43:1). If privacy is a concern, you may share first names or initials in future requests, but let us not shy away from lifting up our loved ones specifically before the throne of grace.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your unfailing love and the sacrifice of Your Son, which has given us access to Your presence. Lord, we lift up this beloved sibling in Christ who is facing the pain and injustice of fraud within their family. We ask that You would expose every hidden deed of darkness and bring to light the schemes of the enemy. Father, You are a God of justice, and we trust You to vindicate and restore what has been stolen or broken. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind as they wait on You.
We pray for divine favor in their workplace over these coming weeks. Grant them wisdom, excellence, and grace in all they do. Open doors of opportunity for advancement or new roles that align with Your will. Provide for every financial need according to Your riches in glory, and let there be no lack in their household. We ask for supernatural rest—body, soul, and spirit—for every member of this family. May they sleep under the shadow of Your wings, free from anxiety and fear.
For the one seeking a new job, we declare that You, Lord, are their Provider. Lead them to the right opportunities, and give them favor in the eyes of those making decisions. Surround them with support—godly counsel, encouragement, and practical help. Let this season of transition be marked by Your faithfulness and goodness.
Father, we also ask that You would deepen their trust in You. In the waiting, in the uncertainty, let them cling to Your promises and find their strength in You alone. Remind them that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory (Romans 8:28). Give them a spirit of perseverance and hope, knowing that You are their shield and great reward (Genesis 15:1).
We rebuke every spirit of fear, discouragement, or despair in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. We declare Your protection, provision, and peace over them.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would draw each member of this family closer to Yourself. Let this trial be a refining fire that purifies their faith and deepens their reliance on You. May they emerge from this season with testimonies of Your goodness and miracles that glorify Your name.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
