Marriage, Job and breakthrough from struggle

[Maheswari_S]

All praise be to our God. Let us pray for the above requests to our God via Jesus! Amen!

Please pray for the following continuously

(1) I am believing that our God will provide permanent government/public sector job positions to our family members according to their educational and professional qualifications. Faith in our God that He will provide our family members the best permanent government/public sector job positions enable them to explain regarding our God's Glory which God has done in their life to their patients. One member is working a temporary/contract job and they have to pay the monthly salary on time, since they are delaying to pay the salary. Also, he tried another temporary govt job in another institution and the screening test/written test on Friday. So continuous prayer is required to get the Interview call for the job and to get the job position and moreover, there should not be any problem or any obstacles from his HOD or anybody and anything to leave the existing job and get the full settlement immediately after getting the new job in another reputed institution.

Another family member to get a temporary govt. job urgently and she will wait for a Permanent Govt. Job. Both are waiting for permanent govt. job positions till God's Time & Will.

(2) Faith in our God who will show us a better spiritually, Godly bridegroom for my family member, who will be a doctor with handsome earnings with GOOD HABITS and No Bad Habit according to the Bible and also the marriage will occur at the earliest possible. Awaiting for God's Order, since We are seeking a Godly doctor with GOOD HABITS and No Bad Habits and good earnings.

(3) We have paid a big amount to a person for a house lease purpose and at that time the owner of the house committed and promised to handover the house to us within fifteen days. But after a month also he has not handed over the house to us and hence, we have asked him to return our full amount. He told that he will pay the amount after getting the amount from another person who is willing to take the lease of the house. He committed and promised that till such time he will pay our house rent to us. We asked him that pay only bank interest as we have taken a gold loan from the bank. But he refused that he will not pay the interest to us. Then we agreed that as your (House owner) commitment and promise by you pay the house rent to us till such period. After his commitment and promises, he has not yet paid the house rent to us for the period. Now it is crossed more than a year (more than 15 months) passed. Till today, he has not paid the house rent. Bank interest is also increasing day by day. Which is a huge amount and we cannot able to arrange to pay the interest to the bank. Please pray for us that the house rent for 8 (eight) months are enough to us or bank full interest with additional amount payable (processing charges, admin charges, inspection charges, conveyance is also enough to us to manage the things smoothly.

Hope and Faith that our God will order the person and By God's Grace the full amount will be paid to us immediately without any loss.

The Liar, Cheater (wicked) is telling "I cannot give your money back immediately or urgently" "He is telling wait wait". Almost 15 Months (one year and three months) and have been passed. It is unjust. Is this justice? God have to punish him as under:

(a) Physical Punishment - (i) to be severe to the wicked person and his wife which is a lifelong (up to death) suffering.
(ii) if the wicked person & his wife are working, then his job should be lost and never he should not get any job up to death.
(iii) the wicked person & his wife's tongue should be decayed or cut-off, then only they cannot able to tell lie, cheating.
(iv) the wicked person & his wife's both hands to be cut-down or paralyzed or never it should be useful up to death. They have counted the money with these hands
(v) the wicked person & his wife's son and daughter's education should be spoiled, because they are using the cheating money for their education.

(f) Material Punishment - (I) the wicked person & his wife's own house should be fall-down in the ground/earth and fully destroyed/demolished.
(II) if the wicked person & his wife's are doing/running business, then heavy financial loss should occur.
(III) if the wicked person & his wife's should be cheated by anybody 10 (Ten) time more that what wicked have cheated us.

Then only he never ever cheat anybody. God have to admit them into His punishment of the above enable them to realize what they have done wrong, cheating, lie, fraud. But he and his wife should not go to die and God have not destroy such kind of wicked people/persons and they have to live with the above sufferings which is justice? After this suffering only they may repent and turn to God.

If physical punishment is not able to give to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud and his wife, then material punishment may be given to them. In case this is not able to give to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud, then earthly consequences like sleepless night, mental disturbance, Loss of Peace, financial loss, family problems, Anxiety, Physical strain, sickness, Blockage in Success, Blessing Blockage, Inner emptyness etc., to be given by God to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud and his wife enable them to repay our house rent with bank interest and after repent and turn to God.

I asked our God that "Why the Honest should suffer? Why the wicked, Liar, fraud, cheater persons are not punished? If there is no punishment from God to the wicked person, then How the repent and turn to God? If punishment is not given by God the Wicked people, then how they fear to God? If no fear to God, then they will do more and more wicked things. God have to give a punishment to them that will Glory to our God.

In some place in the Bible mentioned like this "The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy"
Habakkuk 1:13 – “Why do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?”

I am waiting for the Justice from God. Nobody knows when the punishment or Justice will be happened. God have to give punishment immediately to this wicked person. so that he will not do many more. If God is not giving punishment, then again and again he will do the same wicked things. I am faith with God that He will punish the wicked person in such a manner that he has to fear to God now itself. Otherwise he will do the same thing to others and again and again. If God have given punishment immediately enable him not to do such kind of things in future. Otherwise God will give a big punishment which he cannot able to tackle or solve.

Due to this our family cannot able to sleep daily night. Also misunderstanding within our family. As per his activities, he never ever repent. Due to his behaviour, definitely he will not repent to God. Without big Punishment, it is very very difficult to repent this wicked, fraud, cheater will repent.

Also God have to give punishment to that wicked person, who is believing that God is NOWHERE. If he believe that God is NOW HERE, then he will not tell lies and cheat anybody. Until he is getting punishment, he will again and again do this wicked things to many peoples. As per his activities, he never repent. If God is not giving punishment, then on what ground we will have faith with God. Hence, God have to give severe punishment to that person enable him not to do this kind of things to any other person/s in future.

This person and his wife is telling only Lies and whatever the speaks with us are false or Lies only. We enquired around their residential houses regarding that wicked person, fraud person, cheater and his wife also telling lies and she is also supporting his husband. So both are definitely not repent. Without God's big punishment, they will not realize their mistakes and wickedness, cheating. Awaiting for the God's big punishment from only they will repent. Otherwise there is no use and Satan will involve. They never repent again turn to God. Awaiting response from our God urgently and immediately, since I don't have put faith God further.

1 day of God is equal to 1000 years to Human and 1000 years of Human is equivalent to 1 day for God. That means there is No Grace will be to human from God till their death! There is No Mercy from God. Till human death they have to suffer if anybody is Honest. Wicked will Prosper and they will enjoy like anything and then they will die happily.

It is clearly understood that in that case God cannot do any good thing to the honest, since God is silent. God is only seeing the wickedness not acting the righteousness or justice. God is some count slowness, which means inactive. God is powerless, which means no power with him and Satan have power. Now God cannot able to do Miracles, since Satan is doing miracles in the earth. God can hear the requests of the honest, but will not to do justice and he will wait until the death of the wicked person, Liar, Cheater and fraud. God will do the judgement once the wicked person, liar, cheater and fraud when died.

What Prayer Warriors are saying is that Wait for God's Time and God's Time is Perfect. But live in the earth, it is not at all wait for the God's Time and it will come after death. Because God's Time will be very very very slow at the life is very very very early as per bible, since once upon a time the life was very long like 800 years 600 years and it was now decreased to 75 to 100 years and also the average age will be 50 - 60 years only. Hence, once any human wait for the God's Time, then that will be after their death only. This is point number one. Secondly, wait for God's Will. When the God's Will be means it will also before very near to their death and they cannot able to rejoice. Once the God's Will be given to a human, he will not happy, since they cannot able to enjoy or happy due to their age and they cannot able to avail the enjoyment. Thirdly, God's Grace. This will for the wicked person and liar, cheater, fraud and cheater, since they have to repent from their sin and thats why God will wait up to their death. Fourthly Mercy and which will be also for the liar, cheater, fraud and wicked persons only and not for the honest and Godly or God feared persons. God will punish some count with Honest persons in the way the person cannot able to identify or in such a way they cannot determine or find or unaware ways or can't understandable ways. No wicked, cheater, liar will be punished, since God will wait and slowness. In that why the honest should be suffer and we can also be do the wicked things, and God will not punish and wait for us till we repent and by that time our die will occur and within that period we can enjoy, rejoice, happy and without restless, sleeplessness fearlessness.

Is God is inactive, since there is no justice to me and our families. Is God is alive or not. Is God is dead are what. Is God is a stone which is in the Well? If so, there will not be any action. Is God is faithful. No, He is not faithful. Is God is powerless, since there is no improvement or development spiritually as well as earthly in physical life. Is God is Merciless, since there is no requests are fulfilled. Is God is Graceless, since none of the requests are fruitful. Is God is in Wicked peoples like Liar, Cheater, Fraud or Cheater, since there are no prayer request are fulfilled but wicked persons are prosper each and every day and jouful in their life. Is God can now do any Miracles in the earth. No. the Miracles were happened 2000 years before. Now God cannot able to do any Miracles, since now God is powerless, but Satan is powerful as per Bible.

 

[Articles]

We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up these burdens to our Heavenly Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We declare that Jesus is Lord, and we trust in His sovereignty, justice, and mercy as we bring these requests before Him.

First, we lift up the need for stable employment for your family members. Father, we ask that You open doors of opportunity that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Provide permanent government positions for them according to their qualifications, Lord, and let these roles be platforms for them to testify of Your goodness to others. We pray for favor in the upcoming screening test and interview, that Your peace would guard their hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7). For the one facing delays in salary, we ask that You intervene, Lord, and provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Remove any obstacles or opposition they may face in transitioning to new employment, and grant them full settlement without delay. We declare that their labor will not be in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and that You will establish the work of their hands (Psalm 90:17).

For the family member seeking a godly spouse, we pray that You would prepare a righteous and God-fearing bridegroom, one who walks in integrity and honors You with his life. Father, we ask that You bring together two hearts that are aligned with Your will, a union that reflects Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Guard this family member from the temptation of impatience or compromise, and let them trust in Your perfect timing. We rebuke any spirit of loneliness or desperation that would lead them away from Your best, and we declare that Your plans for them are for good and not for harm (Jeremiah 29:11).

Now, we come to the matter of the broken agreement and the financial hardship it has caused. Father, we know that You are a God of justice, and we ask that You act on behalf of this family. The Bible says, "Do not say, 'I will repay evil'; wait for the Lord, and He will deliver you" (Proverbs 20:22). We pray that You would soften the heart of the one who has wronged them, that he would be convicted of his sin and moved to make restitution. Lord, we ask that You would restore to them what has been lost, whether it be the full amount owed, the interest accrued, or the rent that was promised. Let Your justice prevail, and let this family see Your hand at work in this situation.

However, we must address the spirit of vengeance and the specific punishments that have been requested. While we understand the depth of pain and betrayal this family has experienced, we are called to a higher standard. Jesus teaches us, "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also" (Matthew 5:38-39). We are not to repay evil with evil but to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will repay. Our role is to forgive, even as Christ has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13).

We rebuke the bitterness and anger that seeks to take root in this situation. The Bible warns us, "See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many" (Hebrews 12:15). Instead, we pray that this family would release their pain to the Lord and trust Him to bring justice in His way and in His time. Father, we ask that You would heal their hearts and replace their anger with peace. Let them not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).

We must also address the doubts and questions about Your character that have been raised. It is not uncommon for suffering to lead to questioning, but we must stand firm on the truth of Your Word. You are not slow in keeping Your promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, You are patient, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Your justice will prevail, and every wrong will be made right. The psalmist declares, "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You" (Psalm 9:9-10).

You are not powerless, nor are You inactive. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). The miracles of old are not confined to the past, they are a testament to Your unchanging nature. We serve a God who parts seas, raises the dead, and heals the sick. Do not let the enemy deceive you into believing that Your power has waned. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us (Romans 8:11), and He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

We must also address the misunderstanding of Your grace and mercy. Your grace is not a license for the wicked to prosper unchecked, nor is Your mercy a sign of weakness. You are patient, giving people time to repent (Romans 2:4), but Your justice will not be delayed forever. The wicked may seem to prosper for a time, but their end is destruction (Psalm 73:18-19). The righteous may suffer, but You are their refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

Father, we ask that You would strengthen this family’s faith. Let them not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time they will reap a harvest if they do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Let them find their hope in You, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28).

We pray for the one who has wronged them, that You would bring conviction to his heart. Let him see the error of his ways and turn from his sin. If he will not repent, we trust that You will deal with him in Your justice. But we pray that his eyes would be opened, that he would come to know You and experience the transforming power of Your love.

Lord, we ask that You would provide for this family’s financial needs. Release them from the burden of debt and restore what has been lost. Let them experience Your provision in tangible ways, so that their faith may be strengthened. We declare that the windows of heaven are open over them, and that You will pour out a blessing that they will not have room enough to receive (Malachi 3:10).

Finally, we pray for unity within this family. Let misunderstandings be resolved, and let Your peace rule in their hearts. Bind them together with cords of love that cannot be broken (Colossians 3:14). Let them encourage one another and build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and let them find their strength in You.

We trust You, Lord, to move in these situations. We believe that You are working even when we cannot see it, and we declare that Your promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20). We wait on You, knowing that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We've been sitting with your words, and what we hear underneath the long, painful details is sheer exhaustion. When someone has taken advantage of your trust for over fifteen months, when bank interest climbs and the weight of it steals your sleep and strains your family relationships, of course you're reeling. The waiting has been cruel, and we wish we could undo the wrong that's been done.

Sometimes anger burns hottest because it's protecting something deeper -- a deep sense of injustice, a fear that things will never be made right. That anger is a signal worth listening to: it tells you that what happened was truly wrong. Right now, it's also eating at your peace. We've seen how fixating on the punishment we want for others can keep us chained to the very hurt we need to be freed from. The person who cheated you isn't lying awake feeling what you're feeling, but you are, and we want something better for you.

A few grounded thoughts: On the immediate financial pressure, have you spoken with a trusted elder or a reputable Christian financial counselor in your area? Sometimes having an advocate or simply documenting everything clearly can open a path forward that feels impossible alone. On the job front, we'll pray specifically for this Friday's test -- that the doorway opens and obstacles are removed. On the marriage hope, your desire for a godly spouse with good character is right to hold before the Lord, and we join you in trusting Him for who that person will be. And for the anger that won't let you rest, maybe start small: when you catch yourself rehearsing what ought to happen to them, gently step away and say aloud one true thing about God's care for you right now, even if it's just, "He sees me."

Father, we bring this weary family before You. You see the debt, the delayed salary, the job test ahead, and the longing for a godly marriage. Give this writer and their household real, tangible relief. Move the heart of the one who holds their money, or clear another path for repayment. Calm the inner storm that's fracturing their sleep and their relationships with each other. Grant focus and favor this Friday, and in Your timing, open the right permanent doors. We ask for a trustworthy, godly companion for the family member seeking marriage. And Lord, in the middle of this long wait, settle their spirit. Replace what bitterness has stolen with Your steady peace, we pray in Jesus' name.

 

[Spurgeon]

It is a bitter cup you are drinking, and your soul is in deep waters. You cry out for justice, and in your pain you have spoken words that betray a heart on the brink of shipwreck. The shield of faith has slipped from your grasp, and the fiery darts of the wicked one have found their mark. You ask, "Is God alive? Is He just?" This is the spit of the enemy upon the face of Christ, and it must be wiped away with the hand of faith.

Take up the shield of faith once more. It must be of one piece, not a patchwork of trust and suspicion. You say, "If God is just, let Him smite this man with every plague." But what of your own sin? Has the God of all grace dealt so with you? He has not rewarded you according to your iniquities. The obedience of faith does not take up the sword of vengeance. Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. You have seated yourself upon the judgment throne and pronounced a sentence of curses. This is not the faith of God's elect; it is the voice of a wounded spirit that has let the sun go down upon its wrath. The hearing of faith listens to the Master saying, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you." It is a hard saying, but the way of the cross is paved with such stones.

Little faith is still true faith, and Christ does not despise it. But the faith that produces no repentance, that carries a load of bitterness and a demand for the destruction of others, is a dead thing. Faith and repentance are inseparable. You long for the wicked to be brought to God through suffering, but you have allowed your own heart to be poisoned. The mercy you crave for yourself you would withhold from them. This must be confessed and laid at the foot of the cross. The walk of faith is a walk of love; it does not return evil for evil.

Now, as to your temporal trials: the delayed job, the broken promise, the mounting debt. The holdfasts of faith grip hardest when all earthly props are gone. When Abraham saw no way for a son, he staggered not at the promise through unbelief. This is the time to rest upon resurrection and creation. God who brings life from the dead and calls those things that be not as though they were, will make a way. Do not say that God's time is only after death; that is the language of unbelief. A thousand years are indeed as a day, but He has also declared that He is a very present help in trouble. The same God who fed you yesterday will not starve you tomorrow. The delay is a trial of faith; let patience have her perfect work. The faith that shifts for itself, that demands immediate answer, is not the faith that glorifies Him. Great faith is quiet in the storm and waits upon the Lord.

For the bridegroom and the positions sought, keep to the hearing of faith. Do not look to works, your own scheming, your own timing, but to the promise. The steps of faith are steps of obedience, walking in the path of duty with a quiet heart. The Lord knows your need, and He will supply it in His own way. But first, I charge you, put away this bitter spirit. The prayer that comes from a heart full of wrath is hindered. The hands lifted up in supplication must be holy hands, without wrath and doubting. Confess this sin of bitterness; repent of it as surely as you wish the defrauder to repent of his. Only then will the shield be strong and the way clear.

Christ esteems faith because faith esteems Him. Look to Him now. He is the Judge, the Advocate, the Bridegroom, the Provider. The justice you seek is safe in His pierced hands. He does not ignore the cry of the humble. But His ways are not our ways. Leave the wicked in His hands; He will deal with them in truth. Your part is to believe, to forgive as you have been forgiven, and to let the peace of God rule in your heart. The miracle of grace is not that a defrauder is struck down, but that a wounded soul can bless in the name of Jesus. That is the greater work.

[Chrysostom]

You have poured out your heart with great anguish, and I hear the cry for justice. Yet I tremble at the prayers you have lifted up, calling down lifelong suffering, mutilation, and destruction upon the man who has wronged you. This is not the way of Christ. Is the servant greater than the Master? When He was reviled, He did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. You ask for the wicked to be punished so that they may repent, but you have appointed yourself as the judge and assigned torments that would leave them no room for repentance, only despair. Do you not see that you are making provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts of anger and vengeance? This is not holiness, but a fever of the soul.

Consider the ten thousand talents you owe to God. Has He not forgiven you a debt beyond all reckoning, purchased with the blood of His own Son? How then can you seize your fellow servant by the throat and demand payment with such savage particularity? God has given us a way of repayment both ready and easy: not to be revengeful. I do not say the man’s sin is small. Fraud and broken promises are grave, and your family suffers sleeplessness and strain. Yet you have allowed the poison of bitterness to spread until you accuse God Himself of being powerless, inactive, even dead. This is a far greater calamity than the loss of money. The wicked may prosper for a season, but their end is destruction. Do not envy them, nor let their seeming success shake your faith. The Lord is not slow in the way you count slowness; He is patient, desiring that all should reach repentance. His patience is mercy, not impotence.

You seek a permanent government post and a godly spouse. These are lawful requests, but they must be pursued with moderation and trust, not as though God were a merchant obliged to deliver goods on your schedule. Marriage is honorable, a bond ordained of God, but it does not confer holiness by itself. A wife or husband of good habits and earnings is a blessing, yet the kingdom of heaven is not gained by such things. Use marriage with moderation, and you will be first in the kingdom. But if you make an idol of the desired outcome, demanding signs and exacting promises from God, you will find only frustration and spiritual decay. Do not make provision for the flesh to fulfill its desires. Seek first the kingdom, and all these things shall be added.

Your prayer for jobs is tangled with demand: that God act immediately so that you may boast of His glory. But the glory of God is seen not only in deliverance, but in patience under trial. The three young men in the furnace did not demand release; they trusted God whether He rescued them or not. If you build your faith on the condition that God must punish your debtor and grant your wishes now, you have built on sand. The storm of delay and injustice will sweep it away. Let go of the wicked man into God’s hands, not with curses, but with a cry for mercy on your own soul first. Pray that God would soften your heart, that the misunderstanding within your family might be healed through love rather than shared bitterness.

The widow whom Paul commends is one who has set her hope on God and continues in supplications night and day, not one who devises punishments for her enemies. You say you cannot wait because life is short. True, life is brief, a dream that soon passes. Yet in this brief sleep we are fashioning an eternal weight of glory or judgment. Do not waste these precious days feeding the flame of wrath. Use the time to cultivate prayer, almsgiving, and forgiveness. This is the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Let the house rent and the interest be a trial that purifies, not a trap that delivers you to the enemy. Repent of these awful imprecations, and seek the peace that passes understanding. Then you will find that God is not dead, but alive, and His justice will roll down in its proper season, far more terrible and merciful than any punishment you could devise.

 

[Silas]

Your words carry the weight of a long and bitter season, and the cry for justice rising from your heart is unmistakable. When someone has broken their word repeatedly and caused such financial and emotional strain, the desire to see God act swiftly and decisively is understandable. Yet the very intensity of the plea reveals a deeper struggle, a fight to hold onto trust when every visible circumstance screams that the wicked prosper and the honest are forgotten. This is the core battleground of faith.

Faith is not a tranquil feeling that everything will work out by next Tuesday. It is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That unseen reality is the character and promise of God himself. When the evidence of your eyes says a liar is thriving and your bank debt is climbing, faith anchors itself not in what is visible but in who God is. It is not blind; it sees far more than the immediate injustice. It sees a God who is neither silent nor powerless, but who works on a timeline that often bewilders our hurried hearts. A day or a thousand years cannot confine his purposes, and his apparent slowness is not inactivity but the strange mercy of a God who desires repentance, even for the most calloused soul.

A true and living faith will always be tested, and that testing is not for God to discover what is in you, for he knows. The proving of your faith is for you. It forces the question: what do you truly believe when the promise seems delayed and the wicked appear to win? Saying you have faith is one thing; a faith that endures the fire of prolonged waiting is quite another. Think of Abraham. Scripture holds him up as the towering example of faith, yet his life was full of lapses. He faltered, he tried to fulfill God's promise through his own schemes, and he certainly had moments where the visible reality of a barren womb and an aging body mocked the promise. God did not record those failures in the New Testament’s hall of faith. He highlighted the triumphs of Abraham’s trust because Abraham’s faith was ultimately accounted to him as righteousness. His faith was not perfect, but it was genuine, and it was perfected through the very works and obedience that waiting produced.

You ask why the honest suffer and call for severe punishment so that the wicked might fear and repent. The desire for earthly consequences is natural, yet Scripture shows us a more profound truth. Saving faith and true repentance do not spring from witnessing a display of power or a dreaded judgment. A miracle or a curse will not produce a heart that loves God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The punishment you long to see fall on this couple may satisfy a very real longing for earthly justice, but it does not guarantee their repentance, and it cannot be the ground of your own faith. If your trust in God’s righteousness hinges on him striking your debtor down immediately, then your faith is standing on the shifting sand of circumstances, not on the solid rock of Christ’s finished work.

This is the crucial point: your righteousness before God is not built on how quickly he resolves this lease issue or punishes this liar. It is built entirely through your faith in Jesus Christ. You are justified by faith, apart from the works of the law. If your standing with God depended on his immediate, visible retribution against those who wrong you, you would live in constant turmoil. But it doesn’t. The same God who accounted Abraham’s faltering, developing faith as righteousness does the same for you when you trust in the Savior. This is your unshakable ground, even when every night brings sleeplessness and misunderstanding into your family.

This does not make your present needs insignificant. The longing for stable jobs, a godly spouse for your family member, and the return of the money that is rightfully yours are matters you bring to the throne of grace. Do so. Bring them with the bold faith that believes God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. But bring them as one who has already been declared righteous by a faith that looks back to the cross, not as one demanding a sign. Your plea for a God-fearing husband, for example, is a good one, but a true faith will not limit God by dictating a detailed profile of earnings and a specific profession. Faith trusts the God who knows the heart to provide what is best, in his way, as a demonstration of his goodness, not as a vending machine for our specifications.

Let your faith now produce a corresponding work, not of frantic desperation, but of quiet trust. The just shall live by faith. Living by faith means you can entrust the fraudulent person into God’s hands without scripting the exact mode of his earthly punishment. It means you can pray for the job situations, trusting that the God who provides for the ravens can open and shut doors without any human obstacle being able to stand against his will. It means you can present the staggering financial burden and ask for supernatural provision and wisdom, believing that God is able to make a way where there seems to be none, even if the full amount doesn't reappear in the way you demand. The faith that saved you is the same faith that carries you through these crushing trials. It is not a dead, recited creed, but a living force that, though it may flicker and falter, is held secure by the one in whom you trust.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer over these heavy burdens on your heart—your family’s need for stable employment, the godly marriage you are trusting God to provide, and the severe injustice you have endured with the house lease. It has been our honor to lift each of these requests before the throne of grace, asking our Father to move in power and in perfect timing.

If any of these prayers have already been answered—if a job offer has come, if a godly spouse has been revealed, or if the money owed has been returned—we ask you to post a praise report so we can rejoice with you. If not, we invite you to post your requests again as a fresh prayer so we can continue to intercede without ceasing.

We have prayed specifically that:

• Every family member would receive the permanent government position God has prepared, that their current temporary roles would be stabilized until the transition is smooth, and that no obstacle would block the path to their new assignments.
• The screening test already taken would open the door to an interview and ultimately to the job itself, with full settlement from the present employer released without delay.
• The Lord would reveal the godly doctor He has chosen, a man whose habits and heart align with Scripture, and that the wedding would be arranged at the earliest moment God ordains.
• The house owner would be convicted by the Holy Spirit to repay the full amount plus the bank interest you have had to bear, and that you would receive enough to cover every processing charge and restore peace to your family.
• The wicked would face the consequences of their actions—whether through physical correction, financial loss, or relentless inner turmoil—so they might repent and turn to Christ before it is too late.

Above all, we have prayed that your faith would remain unshaken even when answers seem slow. We have asked the Lord to remind you that His justice is certain, His timing is perfect, and His love for you is deeper than any temporary trial. We have also prayed that your family would be knit together in unity, that your nights would be filled with rest instead of worry, and that you would sense His presence carrying you every step of the way.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. We continue to stand with you in Jesus’ Name.
