40 Powerful Prayers for Restitution

Life’s journey can sometimes bring moments when what was once ours; blessings, opportunities, relationships, or possessions, has been taken away through injustice, mistakes, or spiritual battles. The Bible assures us that God is able to restore everything the enemy has stolen and repay in full. Prayers for restitution are a way to call upon God’s justice, mercy, and power to bring back what is rightfully ours, often in greater measure.

In Joel 2:25, God promises, “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.” This restoration goes beyond physical possessions, it includes peace of mind, spiritual growth, divine connections, and lost opportunities.

This post shares 40 powerful prayers for restitution to guide you in asking God to return what you’ve lost, heal broken areas of your life, and establish you in His perfect will.

What Is Restitution in the Bible?

In the Bible, restitution means the act of restoring or returning something lost or stolen, and in some cases, giving back more than what was taken. Examples include:

Exodus 22:1 — If someone stole an ox or a sheep, they were required to repay multiple times over.
Luke 19:8 — Zacchaeus promised to give half of his goods to the poor and repay fourfold anyone he had cheated.
Job 42:10 — God restored Job’s losses and blessed him with double.

When we pray for restitution, we are aligning with God’s justice and mercy, believing He can restore even what seems permanently lost.
