We hear your cry regarding the theft of your money and ID cards, the burden of debts, your desire for a successful marriage, and the spiritual oppression you feel in your workplace, and we join with you in seeking God's will together in Jesus' name.
We understand the pain and anger that comes when you feel robbed and attacked, both naturally and spiritually, and your desire for justice is understandable. However we must lovingly rebuke and correct the way this request is framed, as praying for billion scourges, for people to be killed and their blood shed like the oceans together, and for them to become your footstool is not aligned with the heart of Christ and the teaching of Scripture. Vengeance does not belong to us.
The Word tells us, Vengeance is mine, and I will repay, says the Lord, Romans 12:19, and again, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good, Romans 12:21. Jesus Himself commands us, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, Matthew 5:44. We are also reminded that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places, Ephesians 6:12. Therefore we do not pray for the death and torture of people, even those who may practice occultism or witchcraft, but we pray against the spiritual forces behind them, and we pray for people to repent and be saved, for God desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:4.
The scriptures you cited about Egypt and the enemies of Israel show God's sovereign judgment in history, but the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, 2 Corinthians 10:4. Our calling is to submit ourselves to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you, James 4:7, and to remember that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. We do not overcome darkness by calling down curses of bloodshed, but by standing in the victory of Jesus Christ who already triumphed over all the kingdom of darkness at the cross.
We also want to pray with you about marriage and debts. We believe marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and we pray that if you are seeking marriage, you will pursue courtship with a fellow believer in Christ with the goal of a godly marriage that honors the Lord, for a wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives and a husband to his wife, and what God has joined together, let no man separate, Mark 10:9. Regarding finances, God calls us to be faithful stewards, to work diligently and to owe no one anything, except to love one another, Romans 13:8, and we pray for His provision and wisdom for you rather than seeking that others be forced to pay under a curse.
We encourage you to take practical steps as well, reporting stolen money and ID cards to the proper authorities, seeking godly counsel for your debts, and putting on the whole armor of God daily in your workplace through prayer, the Word, and righteous living, trusting the Lord to be your defender.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved and have access to Your throne, Acts 4:12, and we thank You that through Jesus we can approach You with confidence. We lift up our brother to You and ask for Your protection, deliverance, and peace. Lord, we ask that You expose and break every assignment of darkness, every occult practice, every marine spirit and work of witchcraft, and that You nullify it by the blood of Jesus. We do not ask for the death of people, but we ask that You bring conviction, repentance, and salvation to those who have done evil, and that You render their wicked schemes powerless. We ask for Your justice and Your mercy to prevail.
Father, we pray for restoration where there has been theft and loss. You see the stolen money and ID cards, You know the debts that weigh heavy, and we ask that You provide, that You open doors for honest work, that You grant wisdom to steward finances well, and that You supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19. Teach us to trust in You with all our heart, and not lean on our own understanding, Proverbs 3:5. We pray for a successful, Christ-centered marriage if it is Your will, that You would prepare a godly spouse who loves You, and build a union that glorifies You in purity and faithfulness, fleeing all fornication and impurity, for this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, 1 Thessalonians 4:3.
Lord, guard our brother's heart from bitterness and the desire for revenge. Fill him with Your love, Your forgiveness, and Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let him overcome evil with good and walk in freedom, knowing that You are his defender and his provider. We surrender this workplace, these finances, and this future marriage into Your hands, asking that Your will be done. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
