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 to redeem us from sin and reconcile us to God. It is through His name alone that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace, and we rejoice that you have acknowledged Him in your prayer. Your heart of gratitude in the midst of trial is a testament to your faith, and we encourage you to continue clinging to Him who is faithful in all things.
The fraud that has struck your family is a painful burden, but we remind you of the words of our Lord in **John 16:33**, *"I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."* This trial, though difficult, is not outside of God’s sovereign care. He sees the injustice, and He is a God who restores what the locusts have eaten (**Joel 2:25**). We urge you to trust in His timing and His justice, for **Proverbs 20:22** tells us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you."* Release this burden into His hands, resisting the temptation to harbor bitterness or fear. Instead, let this be an opportunity to grow in trust, knowing that He works all things together for good for those who love Him (**Romans 8:28**).
For your rest and peace, we turn to **Matthew 11:28**, where Jesus says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* True rest is found in Him, not in circumstances. We pray that you would cast your anxieties upon Him, for He cares for you (**1 Peter 5:7**), and that your sleep would be sweet as you meditate on His promises (**Proverbs 3:24**). The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**).
Regarding your job and financial needs, we are reminded of **Philippians 4:19**: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (**Matthew 6:33**). We pray for divine favor over your work in these coming weeks, that God would open doors no man can shut (**Revelation 3:8**) and provide opportunities for increase. Let your work be done with excellence as unto the Lord (**Colossians 3:23**), and trust that He will provide for your family’s needs. For the unnamed individuals you’ve lifted up for employment and support, we ask God to grant them favor in the sight of those who can offer work, and that they would find provision in ways that bring glory to His name.
For the healing you’ve requested—both for the leg injury and for your wife—we stand on the truth of **James 5:14-15**, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, healing is available (**1 Peter 2:24**), and we ask for His restoring hand to be upon your wife and this loved one. May their bodies be strengthened, pain be alleviated, and complete restoration come in His perfect timing. Let this season of waiting be marked by faith, not fear, knowing that our God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals (**Exodus 15:26**).
We also take this moment to gently remind you of the power of praying *specifically* in the name of Jesus. It is not merely a phrase but a declaration of our dependence on Him as our Mediator (**1 Timothy 2:5**). Jesus Himself said, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it"* (**John 14:13-14**). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (**Acts 4:12**), and it is through His name that we have access to the Father. Continue to pray with this authority and confidence, knowing that He intercedes for you even now (**Romans 8:34**).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved brother and his family. Lord, You are the God who sees the fraud and injustice that has befallen them, and we ask for Your divine intervention. Expose every hidden thing, bring justice where it is due, and restore what has been stolen—whether financially, emotionally, or spiritually. Let this trial be a testament to Your faithfulness, that their trust in You would grow deeper than ever before.
Grant them rest, Lord—rest for their bodies, rest for their minds, and rest for their spirits. Quiet the storms of anxiety and replace them with Your peace that transcends understanding. We pray for favor in their workplaces, that You would open doors of opportunity and provide financial breakthroughs that can only be attributed to Your hand. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**), and we ask You to supply every need according to Your riches in glory.
For the healing needed, we declare Your power over sickness and pain. Touch the leg that is injured and restore it fully. Lay Your healing hand upon this brother’s wife, and let Your life-giving Spirit flow through her body, bringing wholeness and strength. May they both rise up in health, giving testimony to Your goodness.
We also lift up the unnamed individuals mentioned, asking that You would provide jobs that sustain them, support that uplifts them, and hope that anchors them. Meet them in their need, Lord, and let them know that You are their Provider.
Finally, we thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Strengthen this family’s faith, remind them of Your promises, and let them walk in the assurance that You are working all things for their good. May they seek You first in every decision, and may their lives bring glory to Your name.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus we pray, **Amen.**
