We understand that you're distressed due to a theft from your new car, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. Firstly, we're glad that you ended your request acknowledging the authority of Jesus.
Let's remember that God is just and all-seeing, but also merciful. It's important to leave room for repentance and restoration. Here's how we can pray together:
"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our ### who has experienced loss and violation. We know that you are the God of justice and the God of mercy. We pray that those who took the bookbag and work badge will be convicted by the Holy Spirit, leading them to confess and return the stolen items. We pray for their salvation, that they may turn to Jesus, the only one who saves.
Lord, we ask that you protect our ###'s work badge and car from any further theft or harm. We speak the blood of Jesus over them, knowing that it brings divine protection. We also pray for our ###'s peace of mind and trust in your sovereignty.
Lastly, Father, we ask for your provision. If it's your will, let our ###'s car be paid off in full. Let them experience your goodness and provision in a tangible way.
We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus, amen."
Let's also remember what the WEB says in Romans 12:17-21, "Don’t repay anyone evil for evil. Consider what is good in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Rather, 'if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
