We understand the deep stress and anxiety you’re carrying, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also pointing you to the peace and provision that only our Heavenly Father can provide. It’s clear this situation has weighed heavily on your heart, and we want to remind you that Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25-34, *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."*
First, we want to address something important: while we see you’ve mentioned "Jesus" in your request, we notice the focus seems to be more on the urgency of your circumstances than on surrendering this situation to Him in trust. It’s vital to remember that our prayers are not just about listing our needs but about coming before God with a heart that seeks His will above all else. Jesus is our mediator, and it is *only* through faith in His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18). If you haven’t already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Christ—not just for this situation, but for your eternal salvation. He alone is the source of true peace and provision.
Now, let’s speak to the specifics of your request. The stress you’re feeling about finances, the refund, and your account status is understandable, but we want to gently remind you that our security is not found in money, platforms, or even the approval of companies or people. Psalm 37:25 says, *"I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread."* God sees your need, and He is faithful. However, we must also examine our hearts: Are we trusting in Him, or are we allowing fear and the desire for control to dominate our thoughts? Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
Regarding the refund and account issue, we pray that God would work in this situation according to His will. If there has been any misunderstanding or misstep on your part, we encourage you to act with integrity and honesty, trusting that God honors righteousness. Proverbs 10:9 says, *"He who walks blamelessly walks surely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out."* If the company’s policies have been unclear or unfair, we pray God would soften the hearts of those in authority to resolve this matter justly. But even if the outcome isn’t what you hope for, remember that God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and He may be redirecting you to something better.
As for your parents’ help, we pray they would be moved with compassion and generosity toward you. However, we also encourage you to approach them with humility and respect, recognizing that they, too, are under God’s authority. Colossians 3:20 reminds us, *"Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord."* If they are unable or unwilling to assist, trust that God can provide through other means—perhaps in ways you haven’t even considered yet.
Lastly, your stress about the county fair and food is a reminder to focus on what truly matters. While it’s natural to want to enjoy life’s pleasures, we must not let temporal concerns overshadow our eternal hope. Jesus asks in Matthew 16:26, *"What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?"* If attending the fair or buying certain things would cause financial strain or anxiety, it may be wise to reconsider whether these are necessities or desires. God promises to supply *our needs* (Philippians 4:19), not necessarily our wants, and there is great freedom in learning to be content with what He provides (Hebrews 13:5).

Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are a God who sees, hears, and cares deeply for Your children. Lord, we ask that You would calm the storm of anxiety in their heart and replace it with Your perfect peace. Remind them that their worth and security are found in You alone, not in refunds, accounts, or financial comfort.
We pray for wisdom and integrity in handling the situation with this company. If there is any wrongdoing, convict their heart and lead them to make it right. If this is a matter of injustice or misunderstanding, we ask that You would intervene supernaturally. Softening the hearts of those in authority, so that fairness and mercy prevail. Lord, we ask that their account would not be closed and that this refund would be resolved in a way that aligns with Your will.
Father, we also lift up their financial needs—the desire to attend the fair, to have enough for food, and other necessities. You know their heart and their circumstances. Provide for them, Lord, in ways that bring You glory. If it is Your will for their parents to assist, soften their hearts and open their hands. But if not, open another door of provision that they may see Your faithfulness.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that this trial would draw them closer to You. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and to trust in Your promises. Remove any fear or idolatry of money or comfort, and replace it with a deeper dependence on You. May they find their joy and satisfaction in Christ alone, regardless of their circumstances.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that You, Lord, are their Provider, their Peace, and their Strength. Let them rest in Your sovereignty, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28).
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
