We hear your heart and we join with you in bringing this long and painful burden before the Lord in Jesus mighty name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that justice and mercy meet. We have lifted you up for these months of waiting without communication or remorse, and we understand how heavy it is to carry not only the physical suffering and financial loss but also the sense of being ignored and threatened after enduring unsafe conditions that were not your fault.
The Lord sees what has been done and what is owed. He is a God who loves justice and hates oppression. Psalm 37:28 tells us For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. Proverbs 11:1 reminds us that A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight. And Isaiah 1:17 calls us to Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. It is right for you to seek what is owed to you, the security deposit, the repair costs you paid for the electrical system that was not lawfully your responsibility, and compensation for the illness, the costs of alternative shower facilities, and the suffering you have endured. Romans 13:7 teaches Give therefore to everyone what you owe, and Leviticus 19:13 warns You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The withholding of what is due and the threats and inappropriate actions you described are not pleasing to God.
We also hear your prayer for the landlord and the community house manager, that their consciences would be awakened and stirred by the Holy Spirit to do good and to repent. This is a Christlike prayer. Jesus said in Luke 6:27-28 But I tell you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. And in Matthew 5:44 we are called to pray for those who persecute us. We must not take vengeance into our own hands, for Romans 12:19 says Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord. That does not mean we do not seek lawful and peaceful justice, but we do so without bitterness or hatred, trusting God as the ultimate Judge who will bring what is hidden into the light.
We also lift up your body before the Lord. The skin damage and the long healing process you describe grieve us, and we ask the Great Physician to touch you. 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. Jeremiah 30:17 declares But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. And Isaiah 53:5 reminds us that by his wounds we are healed. We pray for complete restoration of the areas that were damaged, that what was harmed would be rebuilt and that you would know His healing presence each day, even if the process takes time.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and mediator. You see our dear one who has suffered for months from lack of electrical safety, from illness, from financial loss and from harsh treatment. Lord, You know the details of every repair bill, every deposit withheld, every promise broken three months ago and still not kept. We ask that You move upon the heart of the landlord and upon the community house manager. Awaken their consciences by Your Holy Spirit, convict them of what is right, and lead them to repentance and to restitution. Take away the hardness and stir them to do good, to return what is owed quickly and fully, and to act with honesty and integrity. Let no dishonest gain remain in their hands.
Lord, we also ask for Your protection over Your child. Guard against any further threats or inappropriate actions, and let Your peace guard their heart. Provide wisdom for how to seek help through proper and lawful means, with documentation and with godly counsel, while trusting You for the outcome. Grant patience and strength in this waiting, for Psalm 27:14 says Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
And Father, we place their body in Your hands. Touch the skin that has become damaged and painful. Command healing and restoration where the injury occurred. Rebuild what was broken, ease the discomfort, and restore health fully according to Your will. Comfort them in the discouragement of a long recovery and remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted.
We ask You to supply every financial need in the meantime and to turn this trial into a testimony of Your justice and mercy. Keep our hearts free from bitterness, as Ephesians 4:31 teaches to let all bitterness and wrath and anger be put away, and help us to trust You while we do what is right.
We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name, for John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We rest in that promise and ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our hope, amen.
We encourage you to continue to keep records of all costs and communications, to seek wise and lawful counsel if needed, and to keep casting your cares on Him, for He cares for you as 1 Peter 5:7 says. Do not give up doing what is right, for in due season God brings justice to light. We continue to stand with you in prayer for full repayment, for a softened and repentant heart in those who owe you, and for complete healing and restoration.
