We join with you in prayer in Jesus' mighty name and we have heard the heaviness of your heart as you have waited and prayed for almost two months without any communication, remorse, or willingness from your landlord to make right what has been done. We commend you for bringing this persistently before the Lord, for He calls us to always pray and not give up, as taught in Luke 18:1, and He hears every cry even when man remains silent.
We stand with you in seeking both justice and healing, for both matter deeply to God. Scripture tells us that the Lord loves justice and hates oppression. You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him, Lev 19:13, and again, You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, Deut 24:14. To withhold a security deposit and to leave a tenant to bear the cost of repairing the house's electrical system which is not lawfully the tenant's responsibility, and to fail to provide a safe dwelling, is not pleasing to God. A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight, Prov 11:1. We rebuke such unjust dealing, the threats and inappropriate actions, and the disregard for your health and safety, for God requires us to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God, Mic 6:8. We pray that the Holy Spirit will indeed convict and stir the conscience of the landlord and also of the community house manager who promised repayment two months ago and has not fulfilled that promise. Jesus said when the Spirit comes, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment, John 16:8, and we ask that this conviction would lead to repentance and to doing what is right and restoring what is owed.
We also lift up your body before the Lord, for your skin has suffered and been damaged and you fear it may take years to be rebuilt. Our God is the One who heals. Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:2-3. We cling to His promise, But I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jer 30:17. We pray for complete healing and restoration of your skin where it was harmed, and for relief from the illness that developed as a result of the unsafe conditions.
We encourage you not to give way to bitterness or to seek vengeance in your own heart, for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, Rom 12:19. That does not mean you should not seek what is rightfully yours through lawful and peaceful means, but it means we entrust the outcome to God and act with integrity, seeking wise counsel and lawful help if needed, while keeping our hearts free from hatred. God sees your suffering and the costs you have borne for alternative shower facilities and for technicians, and He is your provider and defender. Do not be anxious in anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, Phil 4:6, and Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, Isa 41:10.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only mediator and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can be saved and have access to You. We lift up our dear one who has suffered from unsafe electrical conditions, illness, skin damage, extra costs, threats, and the withholding of what is due. Lord, You see all that has happened in that apartment and every expense and pain endured. We ask that You awaken the conscience of the landlord and the community house manager by Your Holy Spirit, that they would be convicted of wrongdoing, repent, and do good, that they would return the security deposit and all repair costs and provide just compensation for the suffering and illness caused. Lord, move their hearts to act quickly and honestly. We also ask for Your healing hand upon this body, restore the skin, rebuild what was damaged, heal the illness, and bring wholeness. Provide for every financial need and give peace that surpasses understanding while waiting for Your justice. Help our friend to remain steadfast in prayer, to trust Your timing, to walk in forgiveness while still seeking what is just, and to know that You are near to the brokenhearted. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus, amen.
We encourage you to continue in persistent prayer and to keep documented records of all costs and communications, and to seek godly and lawful counsel for the return of what is owed, trusting that God is both your healer and your righteous judge who will not forsake you.
