Dishonesty

[Kensem]

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
We thank you for your presence in our lives.
Thank you for fighting for us and blessing us with heavenly gifts.
Thank you for the sacrifice of the Cross when Jesus' blood was shed for us sinners.
Lord, lies are serious crimes,
Lord we also pray for the landlord's team, lawyers and legal representative.
Although we have faced hardships, you have given us the grace to show these people the same patience and kindness that was shown to us.
In order to lie and commit several serious crimes, they had to break down all the resistance to dishonesty.
Lord, we ask that you build up their resistance to dishonesty and help them to practice honesty.
Lord, we believe that truth will set us free, and we ask that you open their eyes to this truth so that they will not suffer the consequences of lying.
We dedicate our lives to you and surrender our will to you.
In Jesus name,
Amen

We join you in lifting this matter before the throne of grace, standing firm on the truth that Jesus is indeed "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Dishonesty is a grievous sin that not only harms others but also separates us from the holiness of God, for "lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who do the truth are his delight" (Proverbs 12:22). We recognize that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23), and we humbly ask for His mercy and transformation in this situation.

Father, we pray for the landlord’s team, lawyers, and legal representatives involved in this conflict. We ask that You soften their hearts and convict them of any unrighteousness. As Your Word declares, "The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy" (Proverbs 12:22). We rebuke the spirit of deception in Jesus’ name and command it to flee, for "no lie is of the truth" (1 John 2:21). Lord, we ask that You break the chains of dishonesty in their lives and replace them with a hunger for integrity. Let them experience the freedom that comes from walking in truth, for "you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free" (John 8:32).

We also pray for wisdom and discernment for those who have been wronged. Help them to respond with grace and patience, as You have called us to "bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse" (Romans 12:14). Yet, we also stand on Your promise that "the Lord will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts" (1 Corinthians 4:5). We trust that You will expose every lie and bring justice in Your perfect timing.

Father, we surrender this situation into Your hands, knowing that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19). We ask that You work in the hearts of all involved, drawing them to repentance and restoration. May Your truth prevail, and may Your name be glorified in this matter. We declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand firm in faith that You will bring about a just and righteous outcome.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We’ve been sitting with your request, and what stands out to us isn’t just the situation you’re facing, it’s the grace you’ve already chosen in the middle of it. You mentioned that despite the hardships, God gave you the ability to show patience and kindness to people who have acted dishonestly. That is no small thing, and it’s worth pausing to recognize. When someone wrongs us, the most natural response is to harden, to fight back in kind, or to despair. You’ve instead prayed for their resistance to dishonesty to be rebuilt. That kind of prayer comes from a heart that has genuinely surrendered its will, as you said you have, and we don’t want that to go unnoticed.

Dishonesty often has deep roots, not just in a single choice but in patterns that have worn down a person’s internal guardrails over time. The truth you’re praying for them to see may take time to surface, and it may come in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Sometimes what we’re called to do in the waiting is simply to keep being people of integrity ourselves, trusting that light has a way of exposing what’s hidden. We don’t know how or when that will happen in your case, but we do know that you’re not powerless. You can continue to walk in honesty while entrusting the outcome to the God who sees.

We’re praying with you now that truth would indeed come to light in this situation, that those involved would have their consciences stirred, and that you would be given steady endurance and clear wisdom for whatever steps you need to take next.

Jesus, we ask that you bring the truth into this difficult legal and relational situation. Remove the confusion that dishonesty creates, and give clarity to all involved. Protect those who are being wronged, and soften the hearts of those who have strayed from the truth. Give our friend a deep sense of your presence and peace, even as the process unfolds, and grant them the wisdom to know how to navigate each next conversation and decision. In your name we pray, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

How blessed it is that you have been given grace to show patience and kindness to those who have dealt dishonestly with you! This is the very mind of Christ, who when He was reviled, reviled not again. You have prayed that their resistance to dishonesty may be built up, and that they might practice honesty, for you believe that truth will set them free. This is a prayer after God’s own heart, for His eyes are upon the truth; He seeks truth in the inward parts, and lies are an abomination to Him.

O that these lawyers and their team might know that there is forgiveness with God, that He may be feared! Yet let them not mistake a carnal repentance for that which is unto life. True repentance gives God glory; it stands at the Cross and weeps over sin because it beheld the price of its pardon. That is the repentance that needs not to be repented of.

You have surrendered your will, and in so doing, you have done well. Now, let me speak as though the offenders themselves could hear my voice. O you who have twisted truth and committed crimes, why will ye die? There is forgiveness for the chief of sinners, but you must come to God through Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the remission of sins.

Your crafty words and legal scheming are a filthy garment before the Lord, but if you will lay them aside and look to Christ alone, His righteousness shall cover you. The truth of God is a sharp-bladed sword; use it honestly, and the meshes of deceit shall be cut away. But if you persist, remember that judgment may harden your heart, and there is a point beyond which there is no forgiveness, only the black and terrible pall of despair. I pray that even now, you will cease from lying and seek the Truth, even Jesus, that you might be set free.

As for you, beloved, who have prayed this prayer, continue in the path of uprightness; the Lord is your shield. He has put that prayer in your heart, and He will honor it according to His will.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Virtue is our true study, for it bestows the real freedom and makes us honorable even in the midst of injustice. You have shown patience and kindness to those who wronged you, and this is the beauty of a soul adorned for the royal table. Do not let their lies disturb your peace, for truth is not merely a matter of legal outcome but the presence of Christ in your life. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, yet by His cross He conquered sin and death. When you sign yourself with that sign, remember you were bought with a price, and be no slave to anger or despair over the schemes of others.

Pray for them, yes, that they may turn from dishonesty, but let your own holiness shine brighter than any court's decision. The greedy and ill-mannered who seize what is not theirs mar their own souls, while the one who walks in truth builds a memory that even enemies admire. If you remain rooted in this truth, you are already free, for if the Son makes you free, you are free indeed.

 

[Silas]

You have done well to bring this before the Father, because truth is not a small matter to Him. Jesus called Himself the way, the truth, and the life. That means truth is not just a set of facts. It is a person. When you ask God to build up resistance to dishonesty in those who have opposed you, you are asking for something deeper than a change in their legal strategy. You are asking that they come near to the One who is truth.

That is a right prayer. Lies are serious. They do not merely bend a case; they bend the conscience. It takes repeated small choices to break down resistance to dishonesty, and it takes repeated small choices to build that resistance back up. But God can do that. Pray that His word reaches them, and that your own conduct gives them no excuse to harden themselves. You mentioned the patience and kindness shown to you. Continue in that. Truth spoken without grace often hardens people, and grace offered without truth often becomes flattery. Jesus held both together.

The letters of John speak often about walking in truth. There is no greater joy than seeing someone walk in truth. That is what you are really praying for, not only that they stop lying, but that they begin walking in the truth themselves. Truth is not temporary. It does not expire when a lease ends or a claim is settled. The truth dwells in those who belong to Christ and will remain forever. That is why you can pray with confidence.

At the same time, remember that truth often disturbs people. The apostle Paul knew that. He asked whether he had become an enemy because he told the truth. Some people prefer flattery. Some people do not want to hear that their way is wrong. Do not be surprised if the truth you live and speak is not welcomed at first. Your calling is not to please people, but to please God. That means you do not return deceit for deceit. You do not bring hidden agendas or manipulation into the matter. You speak and act with clean hands, trusting God with the outcome.

When Pilate asked, What is truth, he asked like a man who had given up on finding an answer. But he was standing before Jesus, who had already said He came to bear witness to the truth. Many people still ask that question while walking away from the only answer. Pray that those involved do not walk away. Pray that their eyes are opened not only to the facts of the dispute, but to the larger truth that they are sinners whom God loves, and that Christ died for them. That is the truth that saves. That is the truth that sets free.

Let this season also search your own heart. There are many who consent to truth but do not obey it. The Lord calls us to be doers of the word, not hearers only. Ask Him to show you any place where you might be tempted to shade the truth or to justify a minor dishonesty because of what others have done. Walking in truth includes our own words, our own records, and our own willingness to forgive.

No proceeding is hidden from God. He sees every conversation and every document. He is not deceived. The final accounting belongs to Him. That does not remove your responsibility to speak truthfully and to seek what is right, but it does remove your need to fear. Keep surrendering your will to Him. Keep bringing the case before the Lord. And keep entrusting these people to the One who is able to give them a new heart and a new love for the truth.

In Jesus name, amen.
