We join you in lifting up your concerns to our Heavenly Father, knowing that He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. It is good that you have called upon the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace, where we may receive mercy and find help in our time of need. As it is written, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). We are grateful you have acknowledged this truth in your prayer.
First, we pray for your protection as you travel, especially in the rain, that the Lord would guard your steps and keep you safe from harm. *"The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore"* (Psalm 121:8, WEB). May He grant you safe passage to your appointments and surround you with His angels, for *"he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:11, WEB). We ask that the Lord would also strengthen the bridge you must cross, holding it firm by His mighty power, for *"He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep"* (Psalm 121:4, WEB).
Now, regarding the distress you’ve expressed about the dentists, we understand your frustration and sense of injustice. It is right to seek justice, for the Lord is a God of justice, and He calls His people to act justly. *"Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow"* (Isaiah 1:17, WEB). However, we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB).
We encourage you to take practical steps in this matter. If you believe you are being scammed, seek wise counsel—perhaps from a trusted believer, a legal advisor, or a consumer protection agency. *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established"* (Proverbs 15:22, WEB). Do not let bitterness or anger take root in your heart, but trust that the Lord sees all and will bring justice in His perfect timing. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB).
We also urge you to examine your heart in this situation. Are there any areas where unforgiveness or resentment may be creeping in? Remember, the Lord calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven. *"Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). This does not mean excusing wrongdoing, but it does mean releasing the burden of anger to the Lord, who judges righteously.
Finally, we pray that the Lord would bring you rest and peace in the midst of this trial. *"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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). May you cast your anxieties upon Him, knowing that He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is in need of Your protection, justice, and peace. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your divine favor as they travel, especially in the rain. Keep their path safe and steady, and let no harm come near them. Strengthen the bridge they must cross, and let Your angels encamp around them, guarding them in all their ways.
Father, we bring before You the burden of injustice they feel regarding these dentists. You are a God who sees all things, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You would expose any deceit or wrongdoing and bring truth to light. Give our brother/sister wisdom to know how to proceed—whether through counsel, legal means, or simply trusting You to fight this battle on their behalf. Help them to release any anger or bitterness to You, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we also pray that You would provide them with rest. Let them not grow weary in well-doing, but renew their strength as they wait upon You. Remind them that vengeance is Yours, and You will repay. May they find comfort in knowing that You are their advocate and their shield.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come in this situation. Amen.
