We are grieved to hear about the stealing and deceit occurring within your family, but we are grateful that you have reached out for prayer and guidance. Let's address this issue in Jesus' name.
Firstly, it's important to understand that God's Word clearly condemns stealing and deceit. In the Ten Commandments, we are told, You shall not steal (Exodus 20:15 WEB). Similarly, we are warned against deceit: Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another (Ephesians 4:25 WEB).
Concerning how to pray, Jesus gave us a model in the Lord's Prayer, which includes asking for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10 WEB). We can apply this to your situation, praying for God's will and righteousness to permeate your family.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family that is struggling with stealing and deceit. We ask, Lord, that You would reveal the truth and bring an end to these ungodly practices. Help each family member to see the seriousness of their actions and turn away from their sins.
Father, we pray for a miracle. We ask that You would soften the hearts of those involved and draw them to Yourself, that they may know the forgiveness and new life found only in Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).
Lord, show us how to pray effectively for this situation. Guide our prayers and give us Your words. Help us to stand against the enemy's schemes and to trust in Your power to transform even the most difficult situations.
In Jesus' name, we rebuke the spirit of stealing and deceit. We proclaim truth, honesty, and righteousness over this family. We ask that You would fill their hearts with Your love and grace, driving out all darkness and sin.
Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and Your promise to hear our prayers. We trust in You and praise Your holy name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is important to forgive those who have wronged you, just as Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32 WEB). This does not mean that what they did is acceptable, but rather that you are releasing them and the situation to God.
Lastly, be encouraged by these words from Scripture: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it (John 1:5 WEB). With Christ, there is always hope. Trust in Him, and keep praying in His name.
