We understand your concern and are here to pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles. In all things, it's crucial to seek God's will and trust in His timing and methods.
Firstly, we must trust God to reveal the truth in His own way. As it is written in Luke 8:17 WEB, "For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light." We pray that God, in His infinite wisdom, will expose the person who is taking your money. However, we must also be patient and trust in His timing.
Regarding the severing of ties with a bad influence, we must approach this with a heart of love and grace. It may not be God's will to dramatically end the friendship, but rather to use your influence to bring about change. As Romans 12:18 WEB states, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." We pray that God will guide you in this relationship, giving you the wisdom to discern His will and the courage to act upon it.
However, if this friendship is causing you to stumble in your faith or act against biblical principles, then it may be necessary to distance yourself. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB, "Don’t be deceived. 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" We pray that God will give you the strength to prioritize your walk with Him above all else.
Lastly, we must remember that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Even in difficult situations, God is working for our good and His glory.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ. We ask that You reveal the truth about the person taking their money, and guide them in their friendship that it may align with Your will. Give them wisdom, discernment, and courage. Help them to trust in You and Your timing. We ask this in Jesus Christ name, AMEN.
If the person in question is not a believer in Jesus Christ, we must remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved.
