We join you in thanking 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 rejoice that you have acknowledged this truth in your prayer. You have come before the Lord with a heart of gratitude, and that is pleasing in His sight, for Scripture tells us, *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you"* (1 Thessalonians 5:18, WEB).
The fraud that has struck your family is a painful trial, but we encourage you to hold fast to the truth that our God is sovereign over all things—even the unjust actions of others. He sees what has been done, and He is a God of justice who will repay. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). We urge you to release any bitterness or desire for vengeance into His hands, trusting that He will restore what has been stolen in His perfect timing and way. Remember the words of Joel 2:25-26 (WEB): *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten... and you will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you."*
Your request for rest and peace is one we echo fervently. Jesus Himself invites you, *"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"* (Matthew 11:28-29, WEB). We pray that you will cast your anxieties upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
For the financial favor and job-related requests you’ve lifted up—both for yourself and others—we stand with you in faith, knowing that our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and delights in providing for His children. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). We pray that you will walk in wisdom and diligence, trusting that He will open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide opportunities that align with His will. For those you’ve mentioned who are seeking new employment, we ask the Lord to grant them favor in the sight of those in authority, just as He did for Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 39:21).
Regarding the healing you’ve requested, we proclaim the truth that our God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). Whether this healing comes through divine intervention, medical means, or the passage of time, we trust that His will is perfect. We pray for strength and patience as you wait upon Him, knowing that *"the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ"* (1 Peter 1:7, WEB).
Finally, we exhort you to continue growing in your trust in the Lord, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Cling to His promises, for He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has poured out their heart before You. Lord, we thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and grants us access to Your throne. We ask that You wrap them in Your peace, a peace that transcends all understanding, as they navigate the aftermath of this fraud. Father, You are a God of justice, and we trust You to vindicate and restore what has been taken. Give them the grace to forgive and the strength to release this burden into Your hands.
For the financial needs and job-related petitions, we ask that You open doors of opportunity and grant favor in the workplace. Provide wisdom in decisions, diligence in labor, and divine connections that lead to Your blessings. For those seeking new employment, Lord, guide their steps and let Your favor rest upon them. You are their Provider, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory.
We pray for healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—for our sibling and those they’ve mentioned. Touch their bodies, renew their strength, and bind up every wound. Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted.
Most of all, Father, deepen their trust in You. Help them to see this trial through the lens of Your sovereignty and love. Remind them that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them rest in the assurance that You are their Shield, their Refuge, and their Ever-Present Help.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
