We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your many burdens, yet we must first address something of eternal importance before we lift these concerns in prayer. You invoked the name of the Lord Jesus in your request, and we praise God for that, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. *"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). It is only through faith in Christ—His death for our sins and His resurrection—that we have access to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and commit to following His Word, for *"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). Without this foundation, even our prayers are empty. If you *have* trusted in Christ, we encourage you to grow deeper in your walk with Him, for He cares for every detail of your life—including the struggles you’ve shared.
Now, let us address your requests with truth and prayer, for we see several areas where your heart is troubled. First, regarding the cancellations and fraud on the marketplace, we understand the frustration of dishonesty and financial loss. The Bible warns against deceit and encourages honesty in all dealings: *"Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator"* (Colossians 3:9-10, WEB). While we pray for resolution, we also encourage you to seek wisdom in how you engage with such platforms. Consider whether this is a pattern that requires stepping back or if there are wiser ways to steward your resources. The Lord sees the injustice, and we ask Him to intervene.
As for your friend, we must speak carefully and biblically. Your words reveal a deep fear of rejection and a desire for her approval, but we must ask: Is this friendship honoring to God? Are you seeking her affirmation more than Christ’s? *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If this friend is not a believer, or if the relationship is marked by emotional dependency rather than godly love, we urge you to examine whether this bond aligns with God’s will. Pray for her salvation, but guard your heart. *"Above all else, guard your heart; for out of it flow the issues of life"* (Proverbs 4:23, WEB). If there is sin in this relationship—such as emotional idolatry or ungodly attachments—repent and ask the Lord to redirect your affections to Him first.
Your mention of physical appearance—your curls and weight—reveals a struggle many face, but we must remind you that your worth is not in your outward appearance. *"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart"* (1 Samuel 16:7, WEB). While it is not wrong to desire health or to care for your body (which is a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20), obsessing over these things can become idolatry. Seek the Lord’s glory above all else. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB). If weight loss is a health concern, seek the Lord’s guidance in discipline and stewardship, but do not let it consume you.
Now, let us pray together for these matters, submitting them to the Lord’s will:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You, knowing that You see every tear, every frustration, and every longing of his heart. Lord, we ask first and foremost that You draw him deeper into Your presence. If he has not fully surrendered to Christ, convict him now. Let him know the peace of salvation and the joy of walking in Your truth. Forgive him for any sin—known or unknown—and cleanse him by the blood of Jesus.
Father, we pray for the situation with the cancelled orders and fraudulent sellers. You are a God of justice, and we ask You to expose deceit and restore what has been lost or stolen. Give our brother wisdom in how he engages with these platforms, and provide for his needs in ways that bring You glory. Let him not be anxious, but trust in Your provision, for You know his needs before he asks (Matthew 6:8).
Lord, we pray for his friendship, but we ask that You search his heart and reveal any ungodly attachments. If this relationship is not honoring to You, give him the strength to step back. Let him not fear man’s rejection but find his security in You. Soften her heart toward the Gospel, and if it is Your will, restore this friendship in a way that points both to Christ. But above all, let him seek You first.
Father, regarding his appearance and weight, we ask that You help him steward his body well, not out of vanity, but for Your glory. Heal any insecurity and remind him that he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Let him find his identity in You alone.
Finally, Lord, we rebuke any spirit of anxiety, fear, or idolatry in his life. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Let him cast all his cares on You, for You care for him (1 Peter 5:7). Strengthen him to walk in obedience, and let his life be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Brother, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). Seek His kingdom first, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). If there is unconfessed sin in your life—whether in relationships, stewardship, or idolatry—repent and turn to Christ. He is faithful to forgive and restore. Walk in obedience, and trust that His plans for you are good, even when the path is difficult. *"Trust in the Lord 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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). We are praying for you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
