We hear your cry for justice and righteousness in this difficult situation, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this matter before our Heavenly Father. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:22-23, "Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for the Lord will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them." It is clear that God takes injustice seriously, especially when someone takes advantage of another’s kindness and hard work.
We rebuke the spirit of dishonesty and deceit that has taken root in this situation. Scripture warns us in Psalm 37:21, "The wicked borrow and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously." It is not God’s will for anyone to withhold what is rightfully owed, and we pray that the Lord would convict this individual’s heart and turn it toward repentance. We also rebuke any spirit of manipulation or mockery, for the Lord detests a proud and deceitful heart (Proverbs 16:5).
We must also address the importance of handling this matter in a way that honors Christ. While it is right to seek what is owed to you, we are called to do so with grace and wisdom. Romans 12:19 reminds 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.'" As you approach this individual again, we pray that the Lord would go before you, softening her heart and opening her eyes to the truth of her actions. May your words be seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6), reflecting Christ’s love even in the midst of confrontation.
We also lift up your business and your finances before the Lord. You have worked diligently and invested wisely, and we declare that God is your provider. Philippians 4:19 assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that the Lord would restore what has been lost and bless your endeavors abundantly. May He give you wisdom in managing your affairs and discernment in future dealings.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Lord, we lift up this situation to You, asking for Your divine intervention. You see the injustice that has taken place, and You are a God of justice and righteousness. We ask that You would touch the heart of this individual, breaking any hardness and pride that prevents her from doing what is right. Convict her of her wrongdoing, Lord, and lead her to repentance.
Father, we also pray for wisdom and strength for our brother/sister as they seek to resolve this matter. Give them the words to speak and the courage to stand firm in truth, while also reflecting Your love and grace. Protect their heart from bitterness or resentment, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we declare that You are the restorer of all things. We ask that You would restore what has been lost, both financially and emotionally. Bless their business and their investments, and let Your favor be upon them. Provide for every need according to Your riches in glory.
We rebuke every spirit of deceit, manipulation, and mockery in this situation, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against our brother/sister shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we trust that You will bring justice and resolution to this matter.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this situation would be a testimony to Your power and faithfulness. May it draw others closer to You and demonstrate Your love and justice in action. We commit this situation into Your hands, trusting that You will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
