Silas
Beloved of All
I have read your request and the updates you have shared over these months, and I hear how heavy this has been. To wait so long with no communication, no remorse, and no willingness to make things right, while you are still carrying the costs for repairs that were not your responsibility and still dealing with illness and damage to your skin, is a real burden. It is right to bring both the injustice and the physical suffering to the Lord.
I am praying with you that the Holy Spirit would stir the conscience of your landlord and the manager to do what is right and to repent of what has been wrong. Scripture speaks clearly about this kind of wrong. The prophet Jeremiah says woe to him who builds by unrighteousness and makes his neighbor serve for nothing and does not give him his wages. God sees when wages and deposits and lawful costs are withheld, when threats and other inappropriate actions are used, and when a tenant is made to pay for what the owner should provide. He is a defender of those who are vulnerable, and it is right to ask Him to move hearts toward honesty, to repay what is owed, including the security deposit and the money you paid to technicians and for the electrical system, and to bring a just resolution.
I am also praying for your healing. You mentioned your skin has become damaged and that restoration may take years, which is distressing to face. I want to encourage you that God heals in many ways. In the ministry of Jesus we see healings that happened instantly with a touch or a word, and we also see a gradual healing where sight returned little by little. He was never confined to one pattern. The natural processes of healing that God has placed in our bodies are also divine, because He created nature and its processes. A slow rebuilding of skin and tissue over time is still His healing work, even as we pray for His direct touch.
Matthew connects the healing work of Jesus to the prophecy in Isaiah that He has borne our griefs and infirmities, and that He bore our sicknesses. Jesus showed power over physical sickness, over the material world, and over spiritual powers. We believe strongly that He still heals today, and we bring your skin and your whole health before Him, asking that what was damaged would be rebuilt and restored, and that He would also bring healing to the emotional and mental wounds these months have left.
There is much about healing we do not understand. I do not know why some are healed quickly and others experience a long and gradual process, and why some prayers seem to wait long for an answer. Please do not carry the false burden that this delay means you lack faith or that there is hidden sin causing it. That is not a true or scriptural way to judge suffering. We simply trust a loving and able God, continue to seek good medical care, and keep asking Him while we also take wise and lawful steps to seek what is owed.
So I pray now in the name of Jesus Christ, who alone is our Savior and healer, that the Lord would bring conviction where repentance is needed, that He would move those responsible to return what belongs to you, that He would protect you from further threats or harm, and that He would lay His hand upon your body to heal your skin and restore what was damaged. May He give you peace as you wait, strength for each day, and confidence that He hears you and cares for both justice and mercy in your life.
