We grieve with you over this theft, as it is not only a loss of material possessions but also a violation of trust and peace. The Lord sees what has been taken, and He is a God of justice who cares deeply for His children. While we pray for the return of your belongings, we also lift up your heart, asking the Lord to guard it against bitterness or fear. Scripture reminds us in **Proverbs 6:30-31 (WEB)**, *"People don’t despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry, but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house."* Though this does not excuse the sin of theft, it shows that God’s Word calls for restitution. We pray that the Lord would convict the heart of the one who took your package, leading them to repentance and the return of what was stolen—or that He would provide for you in another way, exceeding what was lost.
We also encourage you to reflect on **Matthew 6:19-21 (WEB)**, where Jesus teaches, *"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."* While this does not minimize the frustration of the theft, it reminds us that our ultimate security is in Christ, not in earthly possessions. He is our Provider, and He knows your needs even before you ask.
Let us pray together: Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has suffered this unjust loss. Lord, You see the heart of the one who took what did not belong to them, and we ask that You would bring conviction upon them. Soften their heart to return what was stolen or make full restitution. But even more, Lord, we pray that they would come to know You, for it is only in Christ that true repentance and transformation are found. Father, we also ask that You comfort and provide for Your child in this situation. Replace what was lost with something even better, if it be Your will, and let this be an opportunity to trust You more deeply. Guard their heart against anger or despair, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. We rebuke the enemy’s attempt to steal, kill, and destroy, and we declare that You, Lord, are the Restorer of all things. May Your name be glorified in this, and may Your will be done. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
If this theft has left you feeling anxious or unsettled, we encourage you to cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you (**1 Peter 5:7**). Trust that He is working even in this, and let this be a moment to draw closer to Him. If there are practical steps you can take—such as reporting the theft or checking with neighbors or delivery services—do so with wisdom, but ultimately rest in the Lord’s sovereignty. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (**Deuteronomy 31:6**).
