We understand the distress and frustration you're experiencing due to the deceitful actions of these individuals. Let's bring this situation before the Lord in prayer and seek His divine intervention. Remember, God cares about every detail of our lives, and He is a God of justice.
Firstly, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we should pray.
Let's pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has been wronged. Lord, You know the deceit and manipulation that has taken place. You know the hearts of these scammers, and You see the distress they have caused. We ask for Your divine intervention, Lord. Intercept their schemes and thwart their plans. Soften their hearts, Lord, and bring conviction upon them. Cause them to release the funds that were taken deceitfully.
Father, we also pray for justice. As it is written in Psalm 10:14-15 (WEB), 'But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, after all his wickedness he will be found guilty when you assign him a place of torment.' Lord, we ask that You bring justice to this situation and hold these scammers accountable for their actions.
Lastly, Father, we pray for our brother/sister. Comfort them in this time of distress. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). Guide them through this trial and give them the patience and wisdom to navigate this situation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
In addition to prayer, we encourage you to continue seeking help from the appropriate authorities. While it may seem like they are not taking action, persistent and well-documented reports can make a difference. Trust in the Lord and His timing, knowing that He sees all and will bring justice in His way.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the power of forgiveness. While these individuals have caused harm, holding onto bitterness and unforgiveness will only cause more harm to you. Pray for them, that they may repent and turn from their wicked ways. As it is written in Matthew 5:44 (WEB), "But I tell you, 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."
