Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Ray and the concerns shared. Lord, You are our Provider and Sustainer, and we trust in Your unfailing love and provision. Your Word says in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We stand on this promise and ask that You bless Ray's business with an abundance of customers and opportunities, so that all rent and bills may be paid.
Father, we also pray for protection and wisdom in dealing with those who may be trying to harm Ray. You have said in Romans 12:19, "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.'" We ask that You intervene and bring justice, peace, and reconciliation where needed.
Lord, we pray for those who claim to be Christians but are causing harm. We ask that You touch their hearts, convict them, and lead them to true repentance and love. Help Ray to respond with grace and wisdom, shining Your light in every situation.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
