We come before the Lord with hearts that seek His will above all else, remembering that our trust must be in Him—not in schemes, loopholes, or worldly strategies. The Scriptures warn us in Proverbs 16:11, *"Honest balances and scales are Yahweh’s; all the weights in the bag are his work."* And in Proverbs 11:1, we are reminded, *"Yahweh detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight."* If this situation involves any form of deception, manipulation, or unethical maneuvering to secure a sale, we must repent and turn away from such practices, for God does not bless dishonesty. The end does not justify the means when those means conflict with His righteousness.
You’ve mentioned urgency in selling this vehicle for top dollar, and while we understand the pressure of financial needs, we must surrender this entirely to the Lord. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Our focus should not be on forcing an outcome through our own cunning but on trusting God’s provision and timing. If this sale is His will, He will make a way—but it must be done with integrity, transparency, and obedience to His Word.
Regarding the mention of temporary solutions for registration or transportation, we urge you to act lawfully and honestly. Romans 13:1-2 declares, *"Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive judgment to themselves."* Cutting corners in legal or financial matters is not only risky but dishonors God, who calls us to live above reproach.
We also notice that while you invoked the Lord’s protection and blood, you did not explicitly pray in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* There is no other name by which we are saved or through which our prayers are heard. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so today. Salvation comes through repentance and faith in Him alone (Acts 4:12).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift this situation before You, acknowledging that all wisdom, provision, and timing come from Your hand. We repent of any desire to manipulate or force an outcome through ungodly means, and we ask for Your forgiveness where we have strayed from integrity. Lord, if this sale aligns with Your will, we pray You would open the doors widely, providing honest buyers, fair transactions, and safe transportation. Give wisdom to navigate any legal or logistical challenges without compromise. Protect every step of this process, and let Your name be glorified in how it unfolds.
We also pray for this dear one’s heart—to trust You fully, not in schemes or shortcuts, but in Your perfect provision. Remind them that You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and that no need goes unnoticed by You. If this sale is not Your will, provide another way, and grant peace in the waiting.
Most of all, Father, we pray that if this person does not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, You would draw them to Yourself today. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Christ died for their sins, rose again, and offers eternal life to all who believe in Him. May they call upon His name and be saved.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
