We join you in bringing this burden before the Lord in Jesus mighty name, and we thank you for inviting us to pray with you and for your persistence in seeking Him even when answers have seemed delayed for almost two months.
We hear your cry for justice and for healing. What you describe, the lack of electrical safety, the illness that followed, the loss of the use of your shower, the threats and inappropriate actions, and the financial loss from the security deposit and repair costs that were not lawfully yours to bear both from the landlord and from the community house manager, grieves the heart of God who loves justice and mercy. Psalm 9:9 says The Lord will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble. Proverbs 21:15 says When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous. We know the Lord sees what has been done and what is owed, and nothing is hidden from Him.
We also understand how disheartening it is to wait when there has been no communication, no remorse, and no willingness to make restitution, even after a promise made three months ago. Jesus taught us to keep praying and not to give up, like the persistent widow who kept coming to the judge for justice, and we take comfort that God will bring about justice for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night, Luke 18:7. At the same time we are called to seek what is right through lawful and peaceful means, for Romans 13:3-4 reminds us that authorities are servants of God for our good and to restrain wrongdoing. We encourage you to keep careful records of all costs, communications, and medical needs, to seek wise and godly counsel and where appropriate lawful advice or mediation regarding tenant rights and the return of what is owed, while continuing to entrust your cause to the Lord. We also encourage you not to let bitterness take root as you wait, as Hebrews 12:15 warns, but to guard your heart with forgiveness before God even as you rightly seek what is owed, for Romans 12:19 says Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, and Ephesians 4:31-32 calls us to let all bitterness and wrath be put away from you, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other.
We are deeply moved by your suffering with your skin and the pain that healing may take years. Our God is the healer and the restorer. Psalm 103:3 says who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. Exodus 15:26 reminds us I am the Lord who heals you. We pray for the Lord's touch upon every area that was damaged, for renewal and rebuilding of what was harmed, and for comfort in the long process of healing. We also pray for your provision and peace while you carry these extra costs for alternative shower facilities and medical care, trusting Philippians 4:19 that My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, and Philippians 4:6-7 that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We pray now together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can come to You and be saved, Acts 4:12, and we thank You that through Jesus we have access to Your mercy and justice. We lift up this dear one to You who has suffered from unsafe conditions, illness, financial loss, and harsh treatment. Lord, You see the electrical dangers, the sickness, the skin that has been so badly affected, and the long road to healing. Lay Your healing hand upon this body, restore what has been damaged, rebuild skin and health, and bring relief from pain and distress. Comfort this heart that feels forgotten after months of waiting.
Lord, we ask You to stir the consciences of the landlord and the community house manager by Your Holy Spirit. As Proverbs 21:1 says The king's heart is in the Lord's hand like the watercourses, he turns it wherever he desires, so turn their hearts toward repentance, honesty, and integrity. Take away the heart of stone and give a heart of flesh, Ezekiel 36:26, that they would do what is good and right, confess wrongdoing, cease threats and inappropriate actions, and willingly repay the security deposit, the repair costs for the technicians and the electrical system, and all compensation that is justly owed, including costs for alternative shower facilities. Bring conviction where there has been hardness and awaken a desire to make restitution as Zacchaeus did when he said if I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much, Luke 19:8.
Father, we ask for Your protection over this home and this life, that no further harm or intimidation would come, Psalm 91:1-2. Give wisdom for every next step, provide godly counsel and favor with those in authority who can help bring resolution, and sustain faith while waiting, as Psalm 27:14 says Wait for the Lord, be strong, and let your heart take courage, yes, wait for the Lord. Let Your justice shine like the dawn, Psalm 37:5-6, and let Your peace guard this heart.
We entrust this whole matter into Your hands, believing that You are both just and merciful, that You hear our persistent prayers, and that You will act in Your perfect time and way. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
We encourage you to keep bringing this before the Lord daily, to continue proper medical care for your skin, and to not walk this road alone but to let trusted believers and where needed lawful help stand with you. The Lord has not forgotten you, and we will continue to contend with you for justice, for full repayment of what is owed, and for complete healing and restoration.
