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 join you in bringing this burden before the Lord and we have heard the weight of what you have carried for these many months, the lack of electrical safety in your apartment, the illness and skin damage that followed, the costs you bore for showers and for repairs that were not your responsibility, the threats and inappropriate actions, and the long silence without remorse or repayment of your security deposit and repair costs from both the landlord and the community house manager.

We stand with you in praying for justice and for healing, and we thank you for asking in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone we have access to the Father. As it is written, There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5, and In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. We come boldly through that name.

We know how discouraging it is to wait nearly three months without communication or repentance. The Lord sees this waiting and He calls us to persistent prayer. Jesus told a parable to the effect that they should always pray and not give up Luke 18:1, about a widow who kept coming to an unjust judge until justice was done, and He said, Won't God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them Luke 18:7. We will not grow weary in praying with you.

Scripture is clear that God cares about honest dealings and restitution. 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 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor and Don't crush the needy in court, for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them Proverbs 22:22-23. The Lord is one who executes justice and righteousness for all who are oppressed Psalm 103:6, and He says, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. We do not seek revenge in our own spirit, but we do rightly ask God to awaken conscience, bring conviction, and move those who owe you to do what is right and lawful.

We also lift up your body to the Lord who heals. He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3, and He promises, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17. We pray for your skin where it has become damaged, that the Lord would bring complete healing and rebuilding of what was harmed, that pain and inflammation would subside, and that years of distress would be redeemed by His mercy. We encourage you to continue to seek wise medical care as God often works through the hands of physicians, while trusting Him as the ultimate healer.

Let us pray together.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to You. You see the unsafe conditions that were allowed to remain, the suffering and illness that followed, the financial loss for deposits, repairs, and alternative facilities, and the threats that have caused fear. Lord, You are just and You see all that is done in secret. We ask that You stir the hearts and consciences of the landlord and the community house manager by Your Holy Spirit, that they would be convicted of what is right, that they would repent where they have acted unjustly, and that they would willingly repay all that is owed, every deposit and every repair cost that rightfully belongs to Your child. Soften what is hard and awaken what is asleep, that they may do good and walk in integrity.

We ask for Your protection over our dear one from any further threats or inappropriate actions. Be a refuge and strength. We ask for provision, for You have promised My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, and we ask that no lawful debt remain unpaid.

And Father, we ask for healing. Lay Your healing hand upon this skin that has been damaged, upon the areas that have suffered. Restore and rebuild what has been broken, ease the pain, and bring wholeness in Your time. Grant peace that surpasses all understanding as we wait on You Philippians 4:7, and sustain faith during this long trial.

We also ask for wisdom for our dear one, to keep careful records, to seek godly counsel and, where appropriate, lawful help and advocacy, while trusting not in man but in You. Let justice roll on like rivers and righteousness like a mighty stream Amos 5:24 in this situation.

We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name, and we trust Your perfect will and timing. We continue to stand with you until the answer comes. Amen.

We have been hearing how long you have been carrying this, and three months with no communication or willingness to make things right must feel exhausting. To be out the cost of repairs and a security deposit, to still be waiting on the manager who promised repayment, and to be dealing with ongoing skin pain and worry about how long healing will take is a heavy burden.

We are praying with you for both fairness and for healing. Wanting to be made whole financially after paying for electrical repairs that were not your responsibility is a legitimate need, and wanting your skin to heal is too. While we continue to ask God to move on the consciences of those involved to do what is right, having clear records can also help you move forward.

One step that often helps in situations like this is to keep one folder with all receipts, photos, messages and a simple timeline of dates and promises made, and then ask a local tenant advice service or legal aid clinic what options you have where you live for recovering a deposit and repair costs. They can often explain the process plainly and at low or no cost. And with the ongoing skin changes you described, we encourage you to stay in close touch with your doctor or dermatologist alongside prayer so they can follow the healing over time.

Father, we bring our friend to You. You see the financial strain, the silence from those responsible, and the pain in their body. We ask for wisdom for each next step, for steady strength in the waiting, for healing where skin was damaged, and for those who owe what is due to act honestly and return it. Lead and provide in the way You know is best. In Jesus' name, amen.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prolonged trial and heavy burden have been brought before the Lord with sincere sorrow and earnest intercession. To wait almost three months without communication, without remorse, and without the return of what is owed, while bearing bodily affliction and the cost of repairs which were not yours to bear, is a grievous affliction, and we do not make light of it.

We join you in praying in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and Mediator, that justice would be done and mercy shown. We ask the Lord to awaken and stir the conscience of the landlord by the Holy Spirit, that he may be led to repentance and to do good, to speak truthfully, to act justly, and to restore what he owes, including the security deposit and the costs you paid to technicians for the electrical safety of the dwelling. We pray likewise concerning the community house manager, that what was promised would be faithfully fulfilled, and that every inappropriate action, threat, and neglect would be brought into the light and forsaken.

We also bring before the Great Physician the suffering of your body. That your skin has become so afflicted and that healing may be long and slow is a deep sorrow. We pray that the Lord, who has healing in His wings, would lay His pardoning and restoring hand upon you. There is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ, and even the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. We ask that He would graciously heal what has been damaged and rebuild what has been broken, according to His perfect will, and sustain you with patience and peace while you wait upon Him.

Take encouragement, though your perseverance has been sorely tried. The righteous shall hold on his way, not by his own strength, but because the Lord keeps His covenant people. He who has begun a good work will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. This long waiting is not forgotten by Him who sees every injustice and hears every cry. Continue to cast your burden upon the Lord, to seek Him in prayer, and to walk in holiness and truth before Him. Distinguish between things which differ, holding fast to grace and not to presumption, and trusting that the Lord is both just and merciful.

We pray that the Lord would grant you wisdom in all lawful and proper steps before you, provision for your needs including suitable facilities for daily care, relief from this distress, and a heart kept from bitterness through the power of forgiving grace. May the Lord comfort you, vindicate what is right in His own time and way, and cause even this affliction to work for your good and His glory.

We commend you to Him who heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds, praying that pardon, healing, and peace would be yours in Christ Jesus. Amen.
