Holding out

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am asking for prayer in Jesus name for a situation that has grown worse. I have tried multiple times to get legal assistance but it has failed. I keep getting passed around or transferred through different legal aid agencies and my body is aouffering as a result is all of this stress. Sometime I wonder if I should have just kept quiet and let those landlord continue charging me higher rates than allowed. I have suffered so much for telling the truth that it seems like it’s not worth it . No one is listening and I’m at a point t where I don’t know what else to so. the hearing is coming up in a few weeks but don't deel like I’ll be able to get my evidence submitted in time. The agency involved for the rent arrears. Has collided with the property management to block my evidence which would have helped them to save tax payer’s money from being paid out for a rent arrears amount there is not true. My evidence would have helped them calculate my true arrears. Not sure if I can with stand pressure for two more weeks with the property management incessantly emailing and texting my phone every two weeks. Lord in Jesus name can you please stop them. I’m tired. All I wanted to do was pay off the arrears in a j no invest way and it is costing me

We have read your request and we are joining with you in prayer in Jesus' name for this heavy burden you are carrying. We hear how exhausted you are, how your body is suffering under the stress of being passed around between legal aid agencies, the constant pressure from property management, and the approaching hearing. We want you to know that God sees your affliction and He hears your cry.

We understand the temptation to wonder if telling the truth was worth it when it has brought so much suffering. But we encourage you to hold fast to what is right. God honors truth and He hates dishonesty. A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are His delight Proverbs 11:1. Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight Proverbs 12:22. You did what was right to speak up about being charged more than what was allowed, and even when it feels that no one is listening on earth, the Lord is listening in heaven and He is a God of justice. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this, he will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, and your justice as the noon day sun Psalm 37:5-6.

We know you feel unable to withstand two more weeks of pressure and that you are tired and worried about getting your evidence submitted in time. We pray for your strength and for your health. Jesus invites you, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved Psalm 55:22. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10.

We pray together for you now.

Father, in Jesus' name we lift up this dear one to Your throne of grace. You see the injustice, the collusion, the blocked evidence, and the incessant messages that have worn down body and spirit. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and Your intervention. We ask that You would make a way where there seems to be no way for this evidence to be received and considered at the hearing. Give favor with the decision makers, open the eyes of the agency to see the true arrears and to save what is right, and restrain any dishonest dealing. We ask for protection from harassment and for peace in the home. Lord, touch this body that is suffering from stress, bring healing, sleep, and strength to endure. We ask for wisdom for every step in these next few weeks, for clarity to organize what needs to be submitted, and for provision of a true advocate if it is Your will, whether through legal aid or through Your own hand. Let Your justice prevail and let Your peace guard this heart. We trust that You are working even this painful trial for good as You promise that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

We encourage you to keep holding on and not to regret doing what was right. Keep documenting everything faithfully. Keep copies of every email, text, and letter, with dates and times, and keep a written log of the frequent contacts from management. If possible, submit your evidence even now by any verifiable method such as certified mail or the agency's official portal and keep proof of delivery, and bring multiple copies to the hearing with a humble written explanation of why it was delayed and how it shows the true arrears. Ask the clerk of the hearing body what the proper procedure is for late submission. Even while you have been passed around, continue to keep brief, polite written records of every agency you contact.

Above all, care for your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Try to rest, to eat, to drink water, and to step away from the phone for set periods when you can, trusting that God is watching over your case when you cannot. Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh Psalm 27:14. We are standing with you, asking God to stop what is unjust, to bring truth to light, and to give you the endurance to see this through.

We have been reading your message and we hear how exhausted you are. You tried to do what was right about the rent, and instead of finding help you have been passed from one agency to another while the hearing gets closer. It makes sense you would wonder if speaking up was worth it, and that you feel unheard and worn down.

We also noticed you mentioned your body is suffering from the stress. When pressure goes on for weeks, it can affect us physically as well as emotionally. We encourage you, alongside prayer, to let a doctor or trusted medical professional know what you are experiencing, so you have support for your health during this stretch.

For the next two weeks, a couple of small steps may help you feel a bit steadier. If you can, keep all of your evidence, emails and texts in one folder with dates, so it is ready to submit even if help comes late. And if possible, ask a trusted friend, advocate or community support worker to sit with you to make one more call to legal aid and to help sort what must be filed before the hearing. Saving the property management messages without reading them right away, and looking at them at a set time with someone else, can also reduce the constant strain.

Father, we bring our friend before You. You see the tiredness and the pressure and the desire simply to pay what is truly owed in a fair way. Give wisdom for each next step, provide the help needed before the hearing, and grant rest and strength for body and mind. Guard and guide in the days ahead. In Jesus' name, amen.

Your words have come before us with much weight, and we have heard the weariness in them. To be passed from hand to hand when you seek help, to feel your body suffering under continual stress, to be pressed by constant messages and to face a hearing with evidence that seems blocked at every turn, this is a sore trial. And to feel as though it would have been easier to keep quiet than to tell the truth, this is a temptation that many an honest heart has known.

Do not think that the Lord is deaf to you because men seem not to listen. We serve a Savior who was made perfect through suffering, who lived more than thirty years in the very center of this world's sin and sorrow, seeing it in all its shapes, and therefore He knows your pressure and your tiredness. He did not pass hurriedly through our affliction as a stranger, but He bore it, and He is able to succour those who are tried.

You speak of wondering whether you can stand two more weeks. Let me remind you of what the Scripture teaches concerning the perseverance of the saints. It is not that you keep yourself by your own strength, but that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. He has said, they shall never perish. The life He gives is immortal and eternal, and He will not withdraw His gift. You may stumble through weakness or through lack of watchfulness, but He will lead you back and He will keep you. Take a ticket all the way through, for the salvation Christ gives covers all risks and goes to the end of the journey.

Faith alone can keep a soul under discouragement when seeking after Christ. The woman who came to Jesus for her daughter did not give way because she had the believing conviction that Christ could help her and would help her. So cleave to Christ now, not to your own steadiness. Tell Him plainly, as you have told us, that you are tired and that you need Him to stop what is unjust and to make a way for the truth to be heard.

We have also learned that the very anxiety which arises through being in a difficulty unfits you to meet that difficulty. To carry this burden alone in your own thoughts will only wear you down. Cast your care upon the Lord, for He cares for you. This does not mean you cease to act wisely, but that you act with prayer rather than with restless fear. Keep a faithful record of all that is sent to you, keep copies of your evidence, seek again for godly and honest counsel for the hearing, even if you must ask another agency or a trusted advisor to help you put your papers in order in time. Ask the Lord to give you favour and to direct those who handle your case to judge righteously, that what is true concerning your arrears may be plainly seen and that taxpayer money and your own liability may be dealt with honestly. And pray that the incessant pressing upon you by phone and email may be restrained to what is lawful and needful.

We will pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have peace with God and access to the Father.

O Lord our God, look upon this weary one who has sought to do what is honest and has found the way hard. Thou knowest the dealings with the landlord and the management, the confusion over the arrears, the blocking of evidence, and the hearing that draws near. Thou seest the body suffering under stress and the heart that is tired of being passed about. Grant wisdom to set the evidence in order, grant a hearing that is fair, and restrain what is harassing and unjust. Give quietness of spirit, sleep, and strength for each day, and let this dear soul feel that Thou art near and that Thou wilt not suffer Thy people to be tried above what they are able to bear. Keep this one persevering in holiness and in truth, not turning from Thee, and perfect what Thou hast begun, for Jesus sake. Amen.

Be not weary in well doing. He who kept you hitherto will keep you still. Look to Jesus, trust His blood which has set prisoners free from the pit, and rest in His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
