We understand your frustration over the loss of points that you diligently collected over the years, and we join you in seeking God’s guidance in this matter. However, we must first address a deeper spiritual concern in your request. While it is not wrong to ask God for favor in earthly matters, we must always remember that our trust and hope should be placed in Him alone—not in material rewards, loyalty programs, or the decisions of companies. The Bible reminds us in **Matthew 6:19-21 (WEB):**
*"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."*
Your prayer also did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we can approach God, and it is only through faith in Jesus that our prayers are heard. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares:
*"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
And **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms:
*"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and surrender your life to His will. Only then can you have true peace and assurance that God hears your prayers.
Now, regarding your request, we will pray that God grants you wisdom and favor as you seek resolution. However, we also encourage you to reflect on whether this matter holds eternal significance. If the loss of these points causes distress, let it be a reminder to store up treasures in heaven rather than on earth. Trust that God is sovereign over all things, including this situation, and that His plans for you are good—even when circumstances feel unfair.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that all good things come from You. We ask for Your wisdom and guidance for our brother/sister as they seek the reinstatement of their lost points. Lord, if it aligns with Your will, soften the hearts of those in authority over this matter and grant favor. But more importantly, Father, we pray that their heart would be fixed on You, not on the temporary things of this world. Remind them that their true reward is in heaven, where moth and rust cannot destroy. If this trial is meant to draw them closer to You, let it serve that purpose. Strengthen their faith, and help them to trust in Your provision and sovereignty. We rebuke any anxiety or idolatry of material things and ask that You fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
We also encourage you to meditate on **Philippians 4:19 (WEB):**
*"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."*
And **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB):**
*"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."*
May God grant you peace and perspective as you trust in Him. If the outcome is not what you hope for, remember that His ways are higher than ours, and He works all things for the good of those who love Him (**Romans 8:28**). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**).
