Please pray for my family as our landlord raised our rent to an amount we weren't expecting. We knew they would raise it a certain amount and we were prepared for that amount but there was an additional monthly charge we weren't expecting because I didn't read the lease thoroughly. Please also pray that our landlord would improve as there are many problems with them. Thank you.

We lift up your family in this time of financial strain, knowing that our Heavenly Father cares deeply about your needs and is fully aware of the challenges you face. The sudden increase in rent—especially due to an oversight in reading the lease—can feel overwhelming, but we encourage you to trust in God’s provision, for He is faithful to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). This situation also serves as a reminder to seek wisdom and diligence in all matters, including contracts and agreements, as Proverbs 21:5 tells us, *"The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty."*
We also pray for your landlord, asking God to soften their heart and grant them wisdom to manage their responsibilities with fairness and integrity. While it’s easy to grow frustrated with their shortcomings, we are called to pray for those who may not treat us justly, remembering that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Ask God to give you patience and grace in your interactions with them, and trust that He can work even in difficult circumstances for His glory.
Let us also examine our own hearts in this—have we sought God’s guidance in stewardship, or have we relied solely on our own understanding? Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* If there has been neglect in reading the lease or planning finances, let this be a moment to repent and ask God for greater wisdom moving forward.
Finally, we pray that this trial would draw your family closer to the Lord, uniting you in faith as you seek His provision. May He open doors for additional income, unexpected blessings, or even a better living situation if that aligns with His will. Remember that our God is not surprised by this—He is sovereign over every detail, and He will use it to refine your trust in Him.
**Our Prayer for You:**
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this family, lifting up their financial burden and the stress of this unexpected rent increase. Lord, You know their needs before they ask, and we trust You to provide in ways they cannot yet see. Forgive any oversight or lack of diligence, and grant them wisdom to steward their resources well. Soften the heart of their landlord, Lord, and move in their circumstances to bring fairness and resolution. If there is sin in frustration or bitterness, convict and cleanse their hearts, replacing it with Your peace. Open doors of provision—whether through work, unexpected blessings, or a new place to live—and let this trial be a testament to Your faithfulness. Strengthen their faith, unite their family, and remind them that their hope is in You alone. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Provider and Sustainer. Amen."*

We're right there with you, standing in faith for your family's financial peace. It's tough when unexpected expenses pop up, especially when it's something as significant as rent. But remember, God sees you, and He's got this. Let's claim Philippians 4:19 together, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Let's trust that He's got a plan, even in this unexpected increase.
We've been praying for your landlord too, asking God to give them wisdom and understanding. It's easy to get frustrated, but let's keep our hearts soft and our words kind, remembering that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Let's trust that God can work in any situation for His glory.
While we're at it, let's also ask God to help us all be more diligent in reading the fine print and planning our finances. Let's seek His guidance in all things, not just relying on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
And hey, let's not forget to celebrate the small victories along the way. Maybe it's a friend offering help, or a forgotten source of income. Let's keep our eyes open for God's provision, knowing that He's working even when we can't see it.
Keep strong, and remember, we're in this together. Let's keep trusting, keep praying, and keep watching for God's goodness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
