Compensation

[Kensem]

Please pray in Jesus mighty name that the landlord will pay compensation for the problems (###) that occurred in the apartment due to the lack of electrical safety, as well as for the illness that developed as a result, ### problems, ###, the cost of alternative shower facilities or a shower pass, threats, and other inappropriate actions.

Please pray the landlord's conscience is awakened and stirred by the Holy Spirit to do good and repent.

Update: I have been asking for prayers for almost three months, but there has been no communication, remorse or willingness to compensate me for my suffering.

Update: The landlord hasn't returned the security deposit or the repair costs I paid the technicians... Please pray that he repays everything he owes us!

Update: The community house manager hasn't returned the repair costs, though she promised to do so three months ago. I also paid to repair the house's electricity system which is not lawfully my responsibility to cover the cost as a tenant.
My skin has become ### and ### in the areas where I received ###. It may take years for ###, which is awful. Please pray that ### heal and that ### is rebuilt where the ### was damaged.

We hear your heart and we join with you in prayer in Jesus mighty name over this prolonged and painful situation with the apartment, the electrical safety failures, the illness and skin damage that followed, the financial losses for repairs and alternative shower facilities, the withheld security deposit and repair costs, and the threats and inappropriate actions you have endured.

We know how discouraging it is to have prayed for almost three months without seeing communication, remorse, or willingness to make restitution. We want to encourage you that God sees all that has happened and He is a God of justice and mercy. We do not grow weary in praying, for Jesus taught us that we ought always to pray and not to faint in Luke 18:1, and in Galatians 6:9 we are reminded not to be weary in doing well, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up.

Scripture is clear that to withhold what is rightfully owed and to oppress through neglect is wrong before the Lord. Leviticus 19:13 says You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him, and Deuteronomy 24:14-15 says You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, you shall give him his hire. Proverbs 22:22-23 says Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor, and don't crush the afflicted, for Yahweh will plead their case. The Lord calls those who have done wrong to repent and make restitution, as Zacchaeus declared in Luke 19:8 Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.

We also pray for your healing, for the Lord is the one who heals us. Psalm 103:2-3 says Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Isaiah 53:5 says by his stripes we are healed, and Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Psalm 147:3 says He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

We lift this before the Father together now.

Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him we have access to You, and there is no other name by which we can be saved as Acts 4:12 declares. We bring this suffering, this injustice, and this illness to You. Lord, You see the lack of electrical safety, the problems in the apartment, the sickness and skin damage that has resulted, the financial burden of repairs that were not the tenant's lawful responsibility, the withheld deposit and costs, and the threats spoken. We ask that You awaken and stir the conscience of the landlord and the community house manager by Your Holy Spirit, that they would be convicted of what is right, repent, and do good. Grant them a heart to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You as Micah 6:8 teaches.

Father, we ask for Your justice to be done. We ask that what is owed would be fully repaid, every cost for repairs, the security deposit, and compensation for the suffering and additional expenses. We pray You would move upon their hearts to communicate, to show remorse, and to willingly make full restitution. Where they have hardened their hearts, soften them, Lord. Let Your conviction not be resisted.

We also pray for complete healing and restoration. Touch the skin that has been damaged and discolored, Lord. We ask that You heal the areas that were harmed, rebuild what was damaged, and restore health where it may take years in the natural. Lay Your healing hand upon this dear one, relieve any pain, itching, or distress, and bring renewal.

We pray for peace in the waiting. Philippians 4:6-7 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Guard this heart from bitterness and fear while seeking what is right. Help to not avenge but to trust You, for Romans 12:19 says Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, yet also give wisdom to pursue lawful and peaceful means to seek what is owed, with good counsel and documentation.

Father, provide for every need and let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness, Your justice, and Your healing power. We thank You that You hear our prayers and that You will act according to Your perfect will and timing.

We continue to stand with you in prayer, asking God to bring justice, provision, repentance, and healing in Jesus mighty name, amen.

We hear how long and heavy this has been for you. Three months of asking and hearing nothing back, carrying the costs for repairs and alternative showers, the deposit still not returned, and the added worry about your skin healing so slowly, that is a lot to hold with no remorse or communication in return. It makes sense you feel worn down and discouraged.

We are continuing to pray with you for what is right and fair here. We are asking God to stir the landlord and the house manager to take responsibility and to make whole what is owed, and to give you wisdom and steady support as you seek a resolution. While you wait, it can help to keep one clear file with copies of receipts, repair invoices, messages where repayment was promised, and notes of dates and costs. If you have not already, a local tenant advice service or legal aid office may be able to help you understand your options for recovering a deposit and costs that were not yours as a tenant.

For the skin concerns you mentioned, please keep seeing a trusted medical professional for care alongside prayer, so you have ongoing support while healing takes time.

Father, we lift this situation to You in Jesus' name. Bring healing to this body where there has been damage, provide for every practical need, and guide each next step toward what is just. Soften hearts that need to do what is right, and give peace and strength in the waiting. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your long and heavy trial has been laid before us and we have carried it to the throne of grace with earnest supplication in the mighty name of Jesus our Lord.

We have heard how for these three months you have waited without answer, how the landlord has withheld what is owed, how the house manager has not kept her promise, and how you have borne cost and illness and pain of body through no fault of your own as a tenant. We grieve with you over the threats and unkind actions, over the burden of paying for repairs which were not yours to bear, over the loss of the deposit, and especially over the suffering of your skin and health which may be long in healing. The Lord sees and knows all that has been done and all that you have endured.

We have prayed, and will continue to pray, that the Holy Spirit would awaken and stir the conscience of the landlord and of the manager, to bring them to repentance and to a desire to do what is just and good in the sight of God. We have asked the Lord who loves justice and mercy to move them to speak at last, to confess what is wrong, and to restore to you what is justly due, the deposit, the cost of the technicians, the cost of the electrical work, and fitting compensation for the illness and distress and for the need of other provision for washing. We do not ask God to overlook wrong, but to work righteousness and to give repentance where it is needed.

For your own body and spirit we have prayed that the great Physician would lay His healing hand upon you. There is abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ, and even the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. He who pardons sin also heals disease, and He is able to rebuild and restore what has been damaged, to ease pain, to renew skin and strength, though the cure be slow. We have entreated Him that He would give you patience in this perseverance, that you may hold on your way and not grow weary, for the righteous shall hold on his way when grace sustains him. The Lord who began a good work will perform it until the day of Christ, and He will not forsake those who trust Him.

Continue, we beseech you, to cast your whole care upon Him, to seek Him daily for pardon and healing, and to look to Christ alone for salvation and help. He binds up the broken hearted and He will not despise the cry of the afflicted. May He grant you wisdom in all needful steps, peace in your dwelling, and a gracious answer in His own time and way.

We commend you to His faithful keeping and remain in prayer with you before the Lord.

O Lord our God, in the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, have mercy upon this suffering one, heal the body, quiet the spirit, convict those who have done wrong and move them to make just restitution, and let Thy will be done for Thy glory. Amen.
