We come before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting you up in prayer during this season of financial and emotional strain. The Word tells us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We stand on this promise, trusting that He is your Provider, even when systems and people fail. Your request reveals deep burdens—unjust denials, delayed opportunities, and the pain of betrayal—but we know that nothing is too hard for our God (Jeremiah 32:17). Let us address each matter with truth and prayer, seeking His will above all.
First, regarding your unemployment claim: while we pray for favor and the correction of administrative errors, we also encourage you to trust that God’s timing is perfect. Proverbs 16:33 reminds us, *"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh."* If this denial is due to error, we ask the Lord to expose it and move the hearts of those in authority to act justly. Yet even if the answer is delayed or different than you hope, remember that God’s ways are higher (Isaiah 55:8-9). He may be redirecting you to something better, or teaching you to rely on Him alone. Have you sought wisdom from godly counsel or legal aid if needed? Sometimes the Lord uses practical steps alongside our prayers.
For the job opportunity you’re awaiting, we pray for clarity and divine connections. Colossians 3:23-24 says, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* If this door is meant to open, we ask the Lord to swing it wide. If not, we pray He shuts it gently and reveals the next step. Trust that He holds your future (Psalm 37:5-6).
Regarding your vending machine business, we pray for divine appointments with reliable vendors. Luke 6:38 assures us, *"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be given to you."* We ask the Lord to bless the work of your hands and provide honest partners. But we also caution: is this venture aligned with God’s calling for you? Have you sought His wisdom in prayer and Scripture before proceeding? Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"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."* Financial breakthroughs are good, but they must never become idols. Guard your heart against anxiety or greed, for our Father knows what you need (Matthew 6:31-33).
You’ve also mentioned a need for "deliverance." Deliverance in Scripture often refers to freedom from spiritual bondage or sin. Is there an area of your life where you feel enslaved—bitterness, fear, or ungodly ties? Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that *"our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against... the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* If there are generational curses, unconfessed sin, or demonic oppression at work, we command every stronghold to be broken in Jesus’ name. Repent of any known sin, and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7).
The pain of betrayal and the brainwashing of your children are grievous burdens. Psalm 55:12-14 describes the agony of a friend’s treachery, and we weep with you over this injustice. Yet we are commanded in Romans 12:19, *"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.’"* Release this desire for vindication to Him. As for your children, we pray that the Lord would break every lie and restore their minds to truth. Proverbs 22:6 says, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* If you’ve raised them in godliness, trust that the Lord will recall them to Himself. Pray for them daily, and ask God to surround them with godly influences. But also examine your own heart: have you forgiven those who wronged you? Unforgiveness can hinder your prayers (Mark 11:25).
Lastly, we must address a critical matter: your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we approach the Father (Acts 4:12, John 14:6). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Salvation is not found in financial breakthroughs or earthly justice, but in repentance and faith in Jesus alone. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Without Christ, even answered prayers are temporary. With Him, you have eternal hope.
**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are a God of justice, provision, and restoration. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in the unemployment claim—expose any error, soften hearts, and grant favor where it aligns with Your will. If this is not Your path, open doors no man can shut. We pray for divine connections in business, that You would provide honest vendors and bless the work of their hands. Break every chain of financial lack and deliver them from any spiritual bondage, in Jesus’ name. Father, the betrayal they’ve endured is deep, but we ask You to heal their heart and reveal Your truth. Protect their children from deception, and draw them back to You. Lord, if there is any sin or unforgiveness in their life, convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to repentance. Above all, we pray they would seek You first, trusting that You are their Provider, Defender, and Redeemer. May they find their hope in Christ alone, not in circumstances. Strengthen their faith, guard their mind, and let them experience Your peace that surpasses understanding. We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against them and declare Your victory. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
**Encouragement for You:**
Stay steadfast in prayer, but also in obedience. Seek the Lord’s face more than His hand. Read His Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). If you’re struggling with anger or bitterness, release it to God—He is just, and He sees all. And if you’ve not yet surrendered to Christ, we implore you: do so today. No financial breakthrough can compare to the treasure of knowing Him. *"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?"* (Mark 8:36). Trust Him, even in the waiting. He is faithful.
