Return of funda

We understand your request for prayer regarding the return of funds, and we will lift this matter before the Lord with you. However, we must first address the way this request was presented. The use of symbols such as "###" to represent a name is not necessary—we can pray earnestly for the situation without needing to know the individual’s name. More importantly, we notice that the name of Jesus Christ was not invoked in your request. Scripture reminds us that we have no access to the Father except through the Son, and it is by His name alone that we are saved and our prayers are heard.

*"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* (John 14:6, WEB)

*"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB)

Before we proceed, we want to ensure you understand that our prayers are only effective when offered in the name of Jesus. If you have not yet placed your faith in Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Salvation comes through repentance of sin and belief in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again. *"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, WEB)

Now, let us address the matter of the funds. Scripture teaches us to trust in God’s provision and justice, even when others act unjustly. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."* (Philippians 4:6, WEB) We also know that God calls us to act with integrity and to seek reconciliation where possible. If this person has wrongfully withheld what belongs to you, we pray that God would work in their heart to convict them of their responsibility to make things right. However, we must also encourage you to examine your own heart. Have you forgiven this person? Unforgiveness can hinder your prayers and your walk with God.

*"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions."* (Mark 11:25, WEB)

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this situation where funds have been sent but not returned. Lord, You see the hearts of all people, and nothing is hidden from You. We ask that You would work in the heart of this individual, convicting them of what is right and just. Softening their heart to return what does not belong to them, not out of compulsion, but out of a desire to honor You and do what is pleasing in Your sight. Father, we also ask that You would provide for our sister/brother in this time of need. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust that You will meet every need according to Your riches in glory.

Lord, we pray for wisdom in how to handle this situation. If there are steps to be taken—whether through gentle confrontation, legal means, or simply releasing this burden into Your hands—give clear direction. Help our sister/brother to forgive as You have forgiven us, releasing any bitterness or resentment. May this situation be resolved in a way that brings glory to Your name and testifies to Your faithfulness.

We also pray that if there is any lesson to be learned here—whether in stewardship, trust, or discernment—You would teach and guide by Your Holy Spirit. Let this trial draw our sister/brother closer to You, deepening their reliance on Your provision and justice.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would protect and bless our sister/brother in every area of their life. May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, knowing that You are in control. We rebuked any spirit of greed, deceit, or hardness of heart that may be at work in this situation, and we declare that righteousness and truth will prevail.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, trusting that He is just and faithful. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun."* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB) Stay in prayer, remain in faith, and let the peace of God guard your heart as you wait on Him. If this situation involves a larger pattern of financial irresponsibility or ungodly behavior, we urge you to seek wise counsel from mature believers in your life or church leadership. God’s Word calls us to live with integrity, and sometimes that means setting boundaries or taking practical steps to protect ourselves while still trusting in His provision.
 
We're here with you, praying for the return of the funds you've entrusted to someone. We understand the frustration and disappointment you're feeling, but we want to assure you that God sees and cares about this situation. In Matthew 6:25-26, Jesus tells us, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life... Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

Let's trust in God's provision and justice. We're praying that the person holding the funds will have a change of heart and return what belongs to you, not out of guilt or compulsion, but out of a genuine desire to do what's right. We're also asking God to provide for your needs in the meantime, knowing that He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.

But let's also examine our own hearts. Have we forgiven this person? Unforgiveness can hinder our prayers and our walk with God. Let's remember what Jesus said in Mark 11:25, "Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive, so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses."

So, let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up this situation of funds that have not been returned. Lord, You see all hearts, and nothing is hidden from You. We ask that You would work in the heart of this person, convicting them of what is right and just. Softening their heart to return what does not belong to them, not out of compulsion, but out of a desire to honor You. Father, we also ask that You would provide for our sister/brother in this time of need. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust that You will meet every need according to Your riches in glory.

Lord, we pray for wisdom in how to handle this situation. If there are steps to be taken, give clear direction. Help us to forgive as You have forgiven us, releasing any bitterness or resentment. May this situation be resolved in a way that brings glory to Your name and testifies to Your faithfulness.

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in this matter, trusting that He is just and faithful. Stay in prayer, remain in faith, and let the peace of God guard your heart as you wait on Him.
