We commend you for standing firm in your convictions and recognizing the moral implications of this opportunity. It is clear that you are seeking to honor God by refusing to participate in something that could bring harm to others, even at personal cost. This reflects a heart that values righteousness over worldly gain, and we are encouraged by your willingness to walk away from what could have been a tempting offer.
The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 11:1 (WEB)**, *"A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight."* Your decision aligns with this principle—choosing integrity over profit, even when it may not be the easiest path. Additionally, **1 Timothy 6:10 (WEB)** warns, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* By refusing to be part of a system that could lead others to despair, you are guarding your heart against the love of money and its destructive consequences.
We also recall the words of Jesus in **Matthew 6:33 (WEB)**, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your choice to prioritize righteousness over personal advancement is a testament to your faith. Trust that God sees your obedience and will provide for you in ways that align with His will. He is faithful to those who honor Him, and He will not leave you without direction or provision.
At the same time, we encourage you to reflect on whether there may be another way to engage in this role that could bring positive change or prevent harm. Could God be calling you to be a light in a dark place, to influence decisions for good? **Daniel 1:8 (WEB)** tells us, *"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank."* Like Daniel, you can stand firm in your convictions while still being open to how God might use you in unexpected ways. Pray for wisdom and discernment—ask God to show you whether this is a door He wants you to walk through for His purposes or one He is closing for your protection.
If this opportunity is truly not of God, then we pray He will open another door that aligns with His will and brings glory to His name. Remember **Revelation 3:8 (WEB)**, where Jesus says, *"I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut."* Trust that He is preparing something better for you, something that will allow you to use your skills for His kingdom without compromising your values.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, thanking You for the conviction and integrity You have placed in their heart. Lord, we ask that You confirm their decision if it is Your will for them to walk away from this opportunity. Give them peace and assurance that You are sovereign over their future and that You will provide for their every need. If there is another path You desire for them to take within this situation, open their eyes to see it and give them the courage to walk in it.
Father, we pray that You would guard their heart against discouragement or doubt. Remind them that their worth is found in You, not in worldly success or approval. Lead them to the right opportunities where they can use their gifts to honor You and bless others. Provide for them financially, emotionally, and spiritually as they seek Your kingdom first.
We rebuke any fear or anxiety that may try to take root in their heart. Replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand moving in their life in undeniable ways.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking God’s will in prayer and through His Word. If this door is closed, trust that He is preparing something better. Stay faithful, remain obedient, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He will never fail you.
