We come before You, Heavenly Father, with hearts full of gratitude for the precious gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for our sins so that we might have eternal life. We are deeply moved by this prayer request, and we join in lifting up these burdens before Your throne of grace.
Father, we first want to acknowledge the pain and disruption that fraud brings into a family. It is a violation of trust and security, and we rebuke the enemy’s schemes in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, we ask for Your divine favor and guidance as they navigate this difficult situation. Grant them wisdom to make sound decisions, discernment to recognize truth, and favor in the eyes of those who can help restore what has been lost. We pray for complete restoration and even reward, as You promise in Joel 2:25-26: *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten... You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you."*
We also lift up this season of work and financial need. Father, You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust in Your promise that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We pray for favor in this job, for doors of opportunity to open, and for financial blessings to flow in ways that honor You. Give rest and peace to this dear one, Lord, for You invite us to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us (1 Peter 5:7). We pray for renewed strength, both physically and spiritually, as they wait on You.
For the loved one seeking a new job and support, we ask that You would open the right doors at the right time. Prepare the hearts of employers to see the value and gifts You have placed in them. Surround them with a community of believers who will encourage and uplift them in their faith. Father, we pray that they would grow in the knowledge of You, that their roots would go deep into the truth of Your Word, and that they would bear fruit in every season (Colossians 2:6-7). Draw them closer to You, Lord, and let them experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lastly, we lift up the co-worker and their family who are grieving the loss of both grandparents. Father, we ask that You would wrap Your loving arms around them in this time of sorrow. Comfort them with the truth that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May they feel Your presence in tangible ways, and may they find hope in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We pray for strength for each day, for memories that bring joy amidst the grief, and for opportunities to share the hope of the Gospel with those who are hurting.
Father, we also want to gently encourage this dear one to continue growing in trust, as they have asked. Trusting You is a daily choice, especially when circumstances are painful or uncertain. We pray that they would fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), and that they would remember Your faithfulness in the past as a foundation for trusting You in the present. Help them to meditate on Your promises and to stand firm in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Lord, we thank You for the privilege of standing in the gap for this family and these requests. We declare that You are a God who hears, who sees, and who acts on behalf of Your children. May Your will be done in each of these situations, and may Your name be glorified through every outcome. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
