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 together before the Father in Jesus mighty name regarding this prolonged injustice and suffering, and we thank you for continuing to bring this burden to the Lord even after almost three months without communication or repentance. The Lord sees what has been withheld from you and He hears your cry for justice and healing.

Scripture is very clear that withholding what is owed is not pleasing to God. Leviticus 19:13 says 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. And Deuteronomy 24:15 says you shall give him his hire on the day it is due, and Proverbs 11:1 says A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight. When a landlord or manager retains a security deposit, withholds repair costs that are lawfully their responsibility, or refuses compensation for harm caused by unsafe conditions, threats and other inappropriate actions, that dishonesty is an abomination to the Lord and we rebuke that injustice in Jesus name. God is a God of justice and He does not overlook oppression.

We also understand how discouraging it is to wait and to feel unheard. Jesus taught us to persevere in prayer when justice is delayed. In Luke 18:1 He spoke a parable to the effect that men ought always to pray, and not to faint, and in Luke 18:7 He says Won't God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them. We take comfort that your persistent prayers have not been in vain. The Lord has heard every prayer over these months and He will act in His perfect timing. Psalm 37:5 says Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.

We pray together now for your needs and for those who have wronged you.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace together. We lift up this dear one who has suffered from unsafe electrical conditions, from illness and painful skin damage, from the cost of alternative shower facilities, from threats and from financial loss. Lord You are the One who forgives all our sins and who heals all our diseases according to Psalm 103:3, and You have promised in Jeremiah 30:17 But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We ask in Jesus name that You would touch this body, heal the skin where it has been damaged, remove inflammation and pain, and rebuild what has been harmed. We ask for complete restoration that may take years in the natural, but nothing is impossible for You. Lay Your healing hand upon this child of Yours and bring comfort and wholeness.

We also bring the landlord and the community house manager before You. We ask that by Your Holy Spirit You would awaken their consciences, convict them of sin and stir them to do good and to repent. Ezekiel 36:26 says I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. We pray You would soften their stony hearts, remove greed and hardness, and lead them to return the security deposit and every repair cost that is lawfully owed, and to provide just compensation for the suffering, illness, shower costs and all other losses. Let them make full restitution and walk in honesty before You. We pray they would come to repentance as in Acts 3:19 Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out.

Lord we also ask for protection from further threats and inappropriate actions. Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Cover this dear one with Your shadow, give wisdom to navigate lawful authorities, and provide for every financial need. Romans 12:19 reminds us 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. We choose to leave vengeance to You while also trusting that You have established authorities for justice, and we ask for favor if lawful steps are needed to recover what is owed. Help our dear friend to keep a heart free from bitterness even while seeking what is just, and to love and pray for those who have caused harm as Matthew 5:44 teaches.

We thank You Father that You are near to the brokenhearted, that You see every tear and that You will not forsake those who trust in Jesus. Strengthen faith during this long wait, provide peace that passes understanding, and let Your will be done in this situation for Your glory. We ask all these things together in the mighty and only name by which we have access to You and by which we are saved, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We have been carrying this situation with you and we understand how wearying these three months of silence have been. To be out of pocket for repairs that were not your responsibility, to wait for a deposit and promised reimbursements that never come, and at the same time to live with illness and skin damage that may take a long time to heal, is a lot to bear. It makes sense that you feel unseen and that the threats and lack of response weigh heavily.

Wanting fair restitution, to be made whole for what you have lost and suffered, is a right and understandable desire. It is also about conscience and responsibility, and we join you in praying the landlord and the house manager will be moved to do what is right and follow through on what was promised.

One steady step that can help while you wait is to keep everything together in one place, receipts, invoices from technicians, photos, dates and copies of any messages, and to seek wise local guidance on tenant rights, perhaps a tenant advice service, legal aid clinic, or a trusted advocate who can look at the paperwork with you. For your skin and ongoing health concerns, please continue to see a medical professional who can monitor healing alongside our prayers.

Father, we lift this burden to You in Jesus' name. Bring healing to this body, wisdom for each next decision, and stir the hearts of those who owe what is due to act honestly and promptly. Give peace in the waiting and provision for every need. Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prolonged trial has been laid before the Lord with sincere sympathy and prayerful care. For nearly three months you have carried this burden without answer or acknowledgment, and we understand how heavy it must feel to wait for justice and for healing while bearing costs that should not have fallen upon you.

We join you in prayer in the mighty name of Jesus, asking our gracious Father who sees all things and loves righteousness, to work according to His perfect justice and mercy.

We pray that the Lord would stir the conscience of the landlord and of the house manager, that the Holy Spirit would awaken within them a desire to do what is right and to act with honesty and repentance. We ask that what is owed to you, the security deposit and the costs you paid for repairs to the electrical system which were not your lawful responsibility, would be returned, and that the Lord would move those in authority to deal justly and without threat or evasion.

We pray also for your body, which has suffered so much. We remember that our Lord is the great Physician, of whom it is written that He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds, and that from Christ there flows abundant healing virtue, so that even the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. We ask Him to lay His hand upon your skin where it has been damaged, to bring restoration where tissue has been harmed, and to grant you relief from pain and distress. We pray for complete healing in His time and according to His wisdom, and for strength to endure while you wait.

We encourage you to persevere in prayer and in faith. The righteous shall hold on his way, not because his own strength is sufficient, but because the Lord keeps His people and will not forsake the work of His hands. Continue to cast your care upon Him, who cares for you, and trust that no cry of His child goes unheard.

We will continue to bear you up before the throne of grace, asking the Lord to provide for your needs, to grant you a safe dwelling, to vindicate what is right, and to give you peace that passes understanding as you rest in Christ, in whom we have both pardon and healing. May the Lord comfort you, sustain you, and in His good providence bring about what is just and good.

We pray all this trusting in the mercy and power of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
