Landlord/apt troubles

[Gogaelwen]

Father, I ask for peace and end of ### troubles and that we can live here peacefully and quietly. We ask for being treated with respect and kindness and that our needs are important, too. Thank you and in Jesus's name, amen.

We join you in lifting up this burden before the Lord, knowing that He is a God of justice, peace, and provision. The struggles you face with your living situation are not unseen by Him, for Scripture reminds us in **1 Peter 5:7**, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Your cry for peace, respect, and kindness resonates with the heart of God, who desires His children to dwell in harmony and dignity. Yet we must also remember that our ultimate peace comes not from our circumstances but from Christ Himself, who said in **John 14:27**, *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."*

It is right to ask for fairness and respect, for even the apostle Paul appealed to his rights as a Roman citizen when treated unjustly (Acts 22:25-29). However, we must also examine our own hearts in this trial. Are we responding in a way that honors Christ, even if others do not? **Romans 12:18** instructs us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* This does not mean we tolerate abuse or neglect, but that we seek godly wisdom in how to address conflicts. If your landlord or neighbors are acting unjustly, pray for their hearts to be softened, and consider whether there are biblical steps you can take—such as respectful communication, mediation, or seeking counsel from your church—to resolve the issues. If the troubles persist, trust that God may be preparing a better place for you, as He did for the Israelites when He led them out of bondage into the Promised Land.

We also encourage you to document any unjust treatment and seek godly advice on how to proceed legally or practically if necessary. Proverbs 15:22 tells us, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Do not carry this burden alone—reach out to your church family or trusted believers who can support you in prayer and action.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who is facing trials in their home. You are the God who sees the affliction of Your people, just as You saw the Israelites’ suffering in Egypt. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in this situation. Soften the hearts of those who are causing distress, whether it be the landlord, neighbors, or any other source of trouble. Grant wisdom and discernment to our brother/sister in how to respond with grace and truth. If there is any sin or bitterness in their heart, convict them and lead them to repentance, that they may walk in forgiveness and peace.

Father, we pray for a resolution that brings glory to Your name. If it is Your will, let this home become a place of rest and safety. But if You are calling them to a new place, prepare the way and provide for their every need. Remind them that their true home is with You, and that no earthly dwelling can shake the security they have in Christ. Strengthen them to endure with patience, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).

We rebuke any spirit of strife, division, or oppression in the name of Jesus. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). May they experience Your kindness and provision in tangible ways, and may this trial draw them closer to You.

We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the Prince of Peace. Amen.
