We come before the Lord with you in this painful season, lifting up your heart and your family’s before the Father, who sees all things and knows the depths of your hurt. The betrayal of trust—especially by someone you considered a friend—cuts deeply, and the anger, sadness, and bitterness you feel are understandable. Yet we know that God’s Word calls us to a higher path, one where justice and mercy meet, and where our hearts are guarded from the poison of unforgiveness. The Scriptures remind us in **Ephesians 4:26-27 (WEB)**, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* Your anger is valid, but we must not let it fester into sin or give the enemy a foothold in your life.
The theft you’ve endured is not just a financial loss but a violation of trust, and we pray that God would move in this situation to bring restoration. **Proverbs 6:30-31 (WEB)** warns, *"People don’t despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry; but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house."* While we cannot force this woman’s actions, we trust that God is just and will hold her accountable. We pray that she would be convicted by the Holy Spirit to repent, return what was stolen, and seek the help she desperately needs for her addiction. Drug bondage is a spiritual stronghold, and we declare freedom over her life in the name of Jesus, that she may turn from this destruction and find salvation in Christ.
Yet even as we pray for justice, we must also examine our own hearts. **Matthew 6:14-15 (WEB)** is clear: *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* This does not mean excusing her actions or pretending the hurt doesn’t exist, but it does mean releasing the bitterness to God, who judges righteously. Forgiveness is not for her benefit alone—it is for *your* freedom. Unforgiveness is a chain that binds *you*, not her. We pray that God would soften your heart toward her, not to enable her sin, but to release you from the weight of resentment. Ask Him to replace your anger with His peace, which surpasses understanding (**Philippians 4:6-7**).
We also lift up your family in this time. Betrayal affects everyone, and we pray that God would protect your household from the enemy’s schemes to sow division, distrust, or fear. May He bind your family together in unity and strength, covering you all with His hedge of protection (**Psalm 91**). We declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and that God will restore what the locust has eaten (**Joel 2:25**).
As for this woman, we pray that her eyes would be opened to the gravity of her actions and that she would seek help—not just for her addiction, but for her soul. Addiction is often a symptom of a deeper spiritual emptiness, and we pray that she would encounter the love of Christ in a way that breaks every chain. If she refuses to repent, we trust that God will vindicate you in His timing. **Romans 12:19 (WEB)** assures us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
Lastly, we notice that while you cried out to the Lord, you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your prayer. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father (**John 14:6, Acts 4:12**). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (**Romans 10:9**). It is in His name that we have authority to pray, to bind the enemy, and to see breakthrough. We declare that name over you now—**Jesus Christ is Lord over this situation!**

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister and her family, lifting up this painful betrayal into Your hands. Lord, You see the theft, the lies, and the broken trust, and You know the depth of the hurt it has caused. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation—convict this woman’s heart to repent, to return what was stolen, and to seek the help she needs to break free from addiction. Father, we pray that if she refuses to repent, You would expose her deeds and bring justice in a way that glorifies You.
Lord, we also ask that You would guard our sister’s heart from bitterness. Soften her toward forgiveness, not because the offense was small, but because *You* are great. Replace her anger with Your peace, her sadness with Your joy, and her fear with Your unshakable trust. Protect her family from the enemy’s schemes and bind them together in unity and strength.
We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and that You, Lord, will restore what has been taken. If this woman is truly Your child, bring her to repentance. If she is not, use this situation to draw her to Yourself. Break the chains of addiction in her life and set her free by the power of Jesus’ name.
Finally, Father, we pray that our sister would walk in the authority of Christ, knowing that vengeance belongs to You. May she release this burden into Your hands and trust You to fight for her. Fill her with Your Spirit, that she may extend grace without enabling sin, and may she experience Your healing in every area of her heart.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, our Redeemer and our Justice. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
