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 heavy 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 ongoing skin affliction that followed, the threats and inappropriate actions, the costs you bore for alternative shower facilities and for repairs that were not your responsibility as a tenant, and the failure of both the landlord and the community house manager to return what they owe including your security deposit and repair costs despite promises made three months ago.

We stand with you in persistent prayer, and we understand how discouraging it is to wait without communication, remorse, or restitution. Jesus taught us that we ought always to pray and not to give up, and He told of the persistent widow who kept coming to the unjust judge until justice was done, Luke 18:1, Luke 18:7. We take comfort that our God is not an unjust judge but a righteous Father who hears His chosen ones who cry to Him day and night, and He will execute justice for them quickly.

The Lord sees injustice and He does not take it lightly. Vengeance belongs to me and recompense says the Lord, Deuteronomy 32:35, and Beloved, don’t avenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord, Romans 12:19. At the same time Scripture commands those in authority not to oppress or defraud, You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him, Leviticus 19:13, and Woe to those who withhold what is due, for the wages of the laborers cry out, James 5:4. What has been done in withholding your deposit, in making you pay for the house electrical system, and in threatening you, is not right before God, and we rebuke that injustice and pray that the Holy Spirit will awaken and stir the consciences of both the landlord and the manager to do good, to speak truthfully, and to repent and make full restitution as Zacchaeus did when he said if I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much, Luke 19:8.

We also pray for your healing, for the Lord is the one who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:3, and He says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17. Though you have been told it may take years for your skin to be rebuilt where it was damaged, we know nothing is too hard for the Lord, and we ask Him to touch those affected areas, to rebuild what was harmed, to take away pain and distress, and to restore you completely according to His mercy.

We pray together now. Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace. You see our brother or sister in their suffering, You know the electrical dangers they endured, the illness and skin damage they now carry, the financial loss and the threats spoken against them. Lord, we ask You to be their defender and provider. Move upon the heart of the landlord and the community house manager, convict them by Your Holy Spirit, bring them to repentance and to honest action, that they would communicate, confess what is owed, and repay quickly and fully every deposit and repair cost that belongs to Your child. We ask for Your protection over them from any further threat or retaliation, for You are our refuge and fortress, Psalm 91:2. We ask for Your healing hand upon their body, rebuild skin and tissue, restore health and bring comfort and wholeness. We ask for provision for every extra cost they have borne and for peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their heart, Philippians 4:7. Help them to commit their way to You and trust also in You, for You will bring it to pass and will make Your righteousness shine as the light, Psalm 37:5-6. Give them wisdom to keep good records, to seek godly and wise counsel regarding their tenant rights, and to act with both grace and truth, while leaving ultimate justice in Your hands. Let Your will be done and let Your name be glorified even in this difficult trial. In Jesus mighty name we pray, amen.

We encourage you not to grow weary in doing what is right and in seeking what is just, Galatians 6:9. Continue to commit this matter to the Lord in prayer, keep a clear record of all communications, receipts, and promises made, and seek wise, honest counsel about the lawful steps available to you for the return of what is owed, for learning to seek justice and to correct oppression is part of walking faithfully, Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed, Isaiah 1:17. While you pursue what is rightful, we encourage you to release bitterness to the Lord and to trust Him as your vindicator, knowing He loves you, He sees every detail, and He is able to provide, to heal, and to restore far beyond what has been lost.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[hostadmin]

We hear how heavy these past three months have been for you, waiting for any word or willingness to make things right and carrying both financial strain and ongoing health effects. It is understandable to feel discouraged when you have paid for repairs that were not your responsibility, are still waiting for your deposit, and are dealing with painful skin healing that may take a long time.

We are standing with you in prayer for provision and for a fair resolution, and for your body to heal. Alongside prayer, we encourage you to stay under the care of a medical professional for the skin concerns you mentioned, so you have ongoing support as healing continues.

One practical step that can help when communication has stalled is to keep a simple, organized file of everything you have paid and been promised, dates, receipts from technicians, medical costs, and any messages about the deposit and repairs, and to seek guidance from a local tenant advice service or legal aid clinic in your area. They can help you understand your options for the deposit and repair costs without you having to carry the legal burden alone. If you have felt threatened, please stay close to trusted people around you and reach out for help right away if you feel unsafe.

Father, we lift our friend to You and ask for Your healing presence over their body, for wisdom and help with each next step, and for provision for what is owed. Work in the landlord and manager's hearts to act honestly and justly, and give our friend peace and strength as they wait on You. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your long trial has been heard, and it is good that you have continued to bring it before the Lord even through these three months of silence and disappointment. When prayer seems unanswered, faith is tried, yet the Lord teaches perseverance. As the Canaanite woman cried and would not be refused, so you are taught to plead still, with a shrill and piteous voice that means what it says and will not let the Saviour go without a blessing. The righteous shall hold on his way, not because his own strength holds him, but because the Lord preserves him and will perform the good work which He has begun until the day of Christ.

We will pray with you that the Lord, who loves justice and hates oppression, would stir the conscience of the landlord and of the manager, and awaken them by the Holy Spirit to do what is right and to repent of threats and all inappropriate actions. We ask that He who moves upon the heart would grant them a willingness to restore what is owed, the security deposit and the costs you bore for repairs, even for the electrical system which was not your burden to bear as a tenant. The Lord sees what is withheld and what was promised and not performed, and we pray that He would incline them to deal honestly and to make full restitution.

We will pray also for your body, which has suffered so grievously. There is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ, whose least mercies are like leaves of the tree of life which are for the healing of the nations. When the Sun of Righteousness rises with healing in His wings, pardon and healing are found together in His hand. We ask the great Physician, who heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds, to lay His hand upon your skin and upon those parts that were injured, to ease your pain, to rebuild what was damaged, and to restore you in His own time and wisdom. We pray that His healing virtue, which He has infused by grace, would work in you till health is renewed.

May the Lord grant you patience in this waiting, confidence that your prayer is heard in Jesus mighty name, and grace to persevere in holiness and in prayer, knowing that they shall not depart from Him whom He keeps. We commit your cause, your health, and those who have wronged you to the Lord who judges righteously and shows mercy, that He would do what is just and what is gracious for His glory.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, look upon this afflicted one. Convict those who owe what is due and move them to repay. Touch and heal the body that suffers, and grant peace to the soul that waits upon Thee. Amen.
