We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing with your business. It's wonderful to know that God has been leading you in this venture, and we trust that He will continue to guide and protect you, especially during this challenging time.
Firstly, we want to remind you that trials and setbacks are a normal part of our walk with God. As it is written in John 16:33 WEB: "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Regarding the theft and dishonesty from employees, we are called to be honest and upright in all our dealings. Ephesians 4:28 WEB tells us: "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need." We pray that God will convict and change the hearts of those involved in these activities.
We also encourage you to stay strong and not be defeated. In Galatians 6:9 WEB, it says: "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow believer and their business. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the betrayal, the losses, and the disappointment. We ask, Lord, that You would intervene, protect, and guide them through this challenging time.
Father, we pray for wisdom and discernment as they navigate these issues. Convict and change the hearts of those who are acting dishonestly, Lord. Help our beloved to stay strong and not be defeated, but to keep their eyes on You, trusting in Your goodness and faithfulness.
We also pray for their family, Lord. Surround them with Your hedge of protection, Your peace, and Your love. In Jesus Christ's precious name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He will guide you through this storm, and you will come out stronger and wiser. Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Trust in Him, and He will see you through.
