We have heard your cry and we stand with you together before the throne of grace in Jesus' mighty name, bringing this long and painful burden to the Lord who sees all injustice and all suffering.
We understand you have been waiting for almost three months without communication, remorse, or compensation, and that you have borne costs that were not lawfully yours to bear, including the repair of the electrical system, technician fees, the security deposit, and the cost of alternative shower facilities, while also enduring illness, skin damage, threats and other inappropriate actions. Our hearts ache with you for the prolonged stress and for the physical affliction to your skin that may take years to heal.
The Lord is a God of justice and mercy, and He does not overlook oppression or the withholding of what is due. For it is written, You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. Leviticus 19:13 and again, Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever. Psalm 37:28 We take comfort that He sees what has been done in secret and that He calls those who have power over others to act righteously, for it is written, Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Isaiah 1:17
We also hear your prayer that the landlord and the community house manager would have their consciences awakened and stirred by the Holy Spirit to do good and to repent. We join you in that prayer, for we know God desires repentance and restitution rather than hardness of heart. We pray that He would convict them deeply, that they would not be able to rest while withholding what belongs to another, and that they would choose honesty and integrity. At the same time we remember the word, 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. Romans 12:19 So we entrust justice to God while we also encourage you to continue to pursue what is right through lawful and orderly means, keeping careful records of all payments, promises, communications, and medical needs, and seeking wise and godly counsel or lawful tenant assistance where available in your area, so that your claim may be established with truth and clarity.
We also lift up your body to the Lord for healing. He is the One who heals all your diseases. Psalm 103:3 and who promises, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Jeremiah 30:17 We ask Him to touch the areas of skin that have been damaged, to restore what has been harmed, to rebuild healthy tissue, to ease pain and inflammation, and to bring complete restoration in His timing. We pray for your overall health after the illness that developed, for strength, for peace as you wait, and for provision for every financial loss you have suffered.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who bore our infirmities and who is our Advocate and Just Judge. We lift up our dear one to You who has suffered for months from unsafe conditions, financial loss, and bodily affliction. Lord, You see the lack of electrical safety, the illness, the withheld deposit and repair costs, the broken promises, and the threats. We ask that You would move by Your Holy Spirit upon the heart of the landlord and upon the community house manager, convicting them of what is right, stirring their consciences to repent, to speak truthfully, and to repay everything they owe quickly and fully. Let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Amos 5:24 We ask that You would protect Your child from further harm or intimidation, that You would be a shield and refuge, for it is written, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 Grant wisdom, patience, and favor as lawful steps are taken to seek what is due, and provide for every need according to Your riches in glory. Touch and heal the skin that has been damaged, Lord, restore it, rebuild what was harmed, and take away lasting marks and pain. Give peace that surpasses all understanding. Philippians 4:7 and sustain faith during this long wait, reminding this precious one that You are near to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 We trust You to act in righteousness and mercy, and we thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
We encourage you to continue casting your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 Keep bringing this matter to Him daily, and do not grow weary in doing what is right, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up. Galatians 6:9 We are standing with you, asking God to bring swift justice, full repayment, and complete healing, and to use even this trial to reveal His faithfulness and power in your life.
