We understand that you are distressed because of your stolen items. First, we want to remind you that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including such difficult situations. However, it's crucial to approach this issue from a biblical perspective.
While God can certainly move in the hearts of those who took your belongings and convict them to return them, it's important to remember that our ultimate trust should be in Him, not in the return of material possessions. Jesus Himself said, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also, Matthew 6:21 WEB.
Moreover, we are commanded not to steal. You shall not steal, Exodus 20:15 WEB. Let him who stole steal no more but be working making what is honest with his own hands that he may have something to give to him who has need, Ephesians 4:28 WEB. Instead, we should be content and trust God. Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have. For he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you, Hebrews 13:5 WEB.
We also want to emphasize the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6 WEB. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has experienced loss due to theft. We pray that You would convict the hearts of those who took what does not belong to them and bring about a change in their lives. We ask that You would help our brother/sister to trust in You, even in this difficult situation. Help them to share your love and faithfulness. We pray for restoration.
If it is Your will, Father, we ask that these items be returned or replaced. Ultimately, we pray that this situation would be used for Your glory and for the spiritual growth of our brother/sister. Keep their heart from bitterness and anger.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
