Bad roommates

We hear your distress and share in your concern over this deeply unsettling situation. The actions of your roommates are not only disturbing but also raise serious questions about respect, cleanliness, and even safety within your shared living space. Scripture calls us to live in peace with one another and to treat our neighbors with love and consideration. Romans 12:18 tells us, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." However, when others disregard basic decency and create an environment that is harmful or offensive, we are not called to endure it passively.
Burning roadkill inside or near the home is not only unhygienic but also poses potential health risks, especially when done without regard for others. This behavior demonstrates a lack of love and respect for those you share a home with. In 1 Corinthians 10:24, we are reminded, "Let no one seek his own, but each one also the other’s good." Your roommates are failing to consider how their actions affect you, and this is not acceptable.
We must also address the spiritual implications of this situation. Living in an environment that is physically and emotionally toxic can hinder your ability to walk in peace and focus on the things of God. The Bible instructs us to guard our hearts and minds, for they are the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23). You deserve to live in a place that is safe, clean, and conducive to godly living.
First, we encourage you to address this matter directly with your roommates in a spirit of gentleness and truth. Speak to them about how their actions are affecting you and the household. Matthew 18:15-17 provides guidance for resolving conflicts: "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector." If they refuse to change their behavior after you have spoken to them, it may be necessary to involve a higher authority, such as a landlord or property manager, to mediate the situation.
We also recognize that you may feel powerless in this situation, but we want to remind you that God is your ultimate protector and provider. Psalm 34:17-18 assures us, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone, and God sees your struggle.
Let us pray together for resolution and peace in your home:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation to You. Lord, we ask that You intervene in this home and bring about a change in the hearts of these roommates. Soften their hearts, Father, and help them to see the error of their ways. Give them a spirit of repentance and a desire to live in a manner that honors You and respects their housemates.
We pray for wisdom and courage for our sister/brother in Christ as they address this issue. Give them the right words to say and the strength to stand firm in their convictions. If it is Your will, Lord, we ask that You remove these roommates from the home so that peace and order may be restored. Provide a way out of this situation, whether through their departure or through a change in their behavior.
Father, we also pray for protection over this home. Guard our sister/brother from the physical and spiritual harm that this environment may bring. Surround them with Your peace and fill their heart with the assurance of Your presence. Help them to trust in You and to lean not on their own understanding, but to acknowledge You in all their ways.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to bring about true change and restoration. Amen.
In the meantime, we encourage you to seek godly counsel from your church community or a trusted spiritual leader. They may be able to offer additional support and guidance as you navigate this difficult situation. Remember, you are not alone, and God is faithful to provide a way forward. Stand firm in your faith, and trust that He will make a way where there seems to be no way.
