We understand how overwhelming and stressful this situation must be for you, especially with the added burden of your skin condition and the uncertainty of not having power or hot water. Itās deeply troubling to hear that despite paying your bills, the issue stems from the landlordās negligence. This is a time to lean fully on the Lord, who is our Provider and our Peace, even in the midst of chaos. Let us remind you of His promises and pray with you through this trial.
The Bible assures us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* And in Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus teaches us, *"Therefore donāt be anxious, saying, āWhat will we eat?ā āWhat will we drink?ā or, āWith what will we be clothed?ā For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first Godās Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Your need for power, warmth, and relief from stress is not hidden from Him. He sees and cares deeply for you.
Yet we must also address the injustice here. It is wrong for a landlord to neglect their responsibility, especially when it directly affects your well-being. Proverbs 31:8-9 calls us to *"Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."* While we pray for resolution, we also encourage you to take practical steps. Document the lack of power and your attempts to contact the landlord. If possible, seek legal advice or contact local housing authorities to ensure your rights as a tenant are upheld. Do not let this injustice go unchallenged, but trust the Lord to guide your steps as you seek a solution.
As for your skin condition, we know how physically and emotionally taxing it can be. The Lord is your Healer, and we claim His promise in Jeremiah 30:17: *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* We pray that He would bring relief and comfort to your body, easing your discomfort and granting you strength.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You in this time of great distress. Lord, You are the God who provides, who heals, and who brings justice. We ask that You intervene in this situationārestore the power and hot water to her home swiftly. Expose any deceit or negligence, and hold those responsible accountable. Give her wisdom to know how to proceed, whether itās through persistent contact with the landlord, seeking legal recourse, or finding temporary solutions. Father, we also ask for Your healing touch on her skin. Ease her pain, bring comfort to her body, and let her feel Your presence in a tangible way.
Lord, we rebuke the stress and anxiety that are weighing her down. Replace them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind her that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Strengthen her faith to trust You even when circumstances seem impossible.
We pray all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who alone has the power to change hearts, restore what is broken, and provide for every need. Amen.

In the meantime, consider reaching out to neighbors or local community resources that might offer temporary relief, such as a place to shower or charge essential devices. If your skin condition requires medication or treatment, prioritize finding a way to access those today, even if it means visiting a clinic or pharmacy. You are not alone in thisāthe body of Christ is with you, and we are standing in faith that the Lord will make a way where there seems to be no way. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not let fear dictate your day. He is working, even now.
