Marriage, Job, Healing and breakthrough from struggles

[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. He has joined in another reputed Institution / Hospital last week which is also a temporary position. So continuous prayer is required to get permanent Govt. Job position and without any hurdles, obstacles, any problem in the new job and also there should not be any problem or any obstacles from his HOD or anybody in any departments from the previous job / Hospital and wihtout any monetary loss or any loss and without any problem to relieve from the existing job and get the full settlement immediately and salary without any loss.

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.

One marriage proposal is under process. Waiting for God's answer to proceed further. If it is God's Will, then this should be succeed, otherwise, God have to stop the same. Waiting for God's answer in this regard. For this purpose, today morning started from home and I fell down in my two wheeler and I admitted as patient in the hospital and little critical situation I am facing now and I have to wait for another 1 - 2 weeks to cure and overcome from this bad situation. Hence, pray for me to overcome from this situation urgently enable to do my routine and other home works.

(3) To buy own individual house

(4) Our earnings / money / amount should not be waste. There should not be unnecessary money waste. Should not be spent money unncessarily and should not be waste of our money in any ways. Because our money is going through many ways and which is unnecessary and spending unwanted things and unavoidable expenses. Forcefully spent money and which is not needed. Have to spent our money very useful and should not be wasted.

(5) To establish Clinics as per our family members medical qualifications.

(6) to give jobs to poor and educated and illiterate to improve their life standard

(7) 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 17 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.


Wonderful God. God have given me a big punishment to me and due to that not only I am suffering very much and my family members are also suffering due to pinished situation and if the situation continues, there is no option for me to loose hope with God and no faith with God and definitely my faith will decrease minute by minutes. I don't know whu God have given punishment to me and due to that my family members are also punished. But Lier, cheater, fraud are not getting any punishment by God. Is this Justice? My husband is continuously telling me that GOD IS NO WHERE. GOD WILL GIVE PUNISHMENT TO THE PERSON THOSE WHO IS LOVE WITH GOD AND PRAYING AND KEEPING FAITH WITH HIM AND BELIVING THE GOD. ALSO HE IS CONTINUOUSLY TELLING THAT DON'T BELIEVE GOD AND DON'T KEEP FAITH WITH GOD. IF YOU KEEP FAITH WITH GOD, THEN YOU WILL BE PUNISHED BY HIM. ALSO IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, THEN YOU HAVE TO SUFFER IN MANY WAYS DUE TO THAT. ALSO HE IS TELLING THAT DUE TO ME WHY MYSELF AND FAMILY MEMBER HAVE TO SUFFER. THIS PUNISHMENT IS NOT FOR ME BUT ALSO TO MY FAMILY MEMBERS ALSO. MY FAITH IS DECREASING SECOND BY SECOND AND MINUTE BY MINUTE. NOW I AM FEELING THAT GOD CANNOT ABLE TO GIVE A GOOD SOLUTION BUT CAN GIVE BAD SOLUTIONS. WHY I HAVE TO PUT FAITH WITH GOD. WHY I HAVE TO BELIEVE GOD AS A PROTECTOR, SAVIOUR.

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 have heard your many requests and we join with you in bringing them before our Father through Jesus Christ, for you rightly said it is via Jesus we come to God. We want to encourage you and also lovingly correct what is not aligned with Scripture, so that our prayers honor God and bring true peace to your heart.

We thank God that you desire permanent government and public sector jobs for your family members according to their qualifications, and that you desire to use those positions to declare God's glory to patients and others. We pray with you for this. We remember the word that says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 and that whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men Colossians 3:23. We pray for the family member who is working on a temporary contract and has faced delayed salary, and who has just joined a new reputed institution also on a temporary basis, that God would grant favor, timely payment of all dues, a smooth transition without hindrance from the previous HOD or any department, without monetary loss, and with full settlement quickly and justly. We pray for the other family member seeking a temporary government job urgently and then waiting for a permanent position, that God in His perfect time and will would open the right doors and that both would wait with patience and trust, for we know that those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength Isaiah 40:31.

We also pray for the marriage request. We rejoice that you are seeking a godly, spiritually minded bridegroom for your family member, a doctor with good habits and no bad habits according to the Bible, with the desire that marriage occur at the earliest as God wills. This is right and good, for marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman ordained by God Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6-9, and we encourage courtship with the goal of marriage to another believing Christian, for how can two walk together unless they have agreed Amos 3:3 and do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14. Earnings are a provision from God but godly character, faith in Christ, purity, honesty, sobriety and love for the Lord must be first, for charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised and likewise a man who fears Him Proverbs 31:30. We pray for the proposal now under process, that if it is God's will it will succeed, and if not, God will clearly close the door, for we trust not our own understanding but in all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths Proverbs 3:5-6.

We lift up your healing. We were grieved to hear you fell from your two wheeler and are now admitted as a patient facing a critical time needing one to two weeks to recover. We pray for your urgent healing and restoration to do your routine and home work. We believe God is still the healer who heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3 and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up James 5:15. We ask for wisdom for the doctors, for complete healing without lasting complication, and for peace for you and your family in this trial.

We pray for your desire to buy your own individual house, to establish clinics according to your medical qualifications, and to give jobs to the poor and educated and illiterate to improve their standard of living. These desires to steward resources, to serve others through medical work, and to provide opportunity to others are pleasing to God when done with integrity and generosity. We pray God grants wisdom in stewardship, for the plans of the diligent surely lead to profit Proverbs 21:5 and that you may be faithful with little and be entrusted with more Luke 16:10.

We pray also about your earnings being wasted through unnecessary and forced expenses. We ask God to grant you wisdom to manage what He has provided, to be good stewards, for God loves a cheerful giver and calls us to owe no one anything except to love one another Romans 13:8 and to live with contentment and diligence.

We must now address with love and firm correction the matter of the house lease and the severe punishments you have asked God to bring upon the man, his wife and even their children. We understand your deep pain, sleepless nights, family misunderstanding, financial burden with the gold loan and bank interest increasing for more than seventeen months, and the feeling that injustice has gone unanswered. It is right to desire justice and to ask God to act, for dishonest scales are an abomination to Yahweh Proverbs 11:1 and the Lord does watch over all who love Him and will bring justice in His time Psalm 37:28. It is also right to seek the return of what is owed and we pray that God would move the heart of this person to repay what is due, including the house rent and bank interest and charges, quickly and without further loss, and that lawful and peaceful means would be blessed to resolve this.

But we must rebuke the request that God cut off tongues and hands, paralyze, destroy the house, cause lifelong suffering, take away jobs forever, spoil the education of children, and bring tenfold cheating upon them. This is not how God teaches us to pray. Scripture says Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides Deuteronomy 32:35 and Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. We are commanded But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you Matthew 5:44 and Bless those who persecute you, bless, and do not curse Romans 12:14. The children should not bear the punishment for the parents sin, for the soul who sins, he shall die Ezekiel 18:20. To pray for mutilation and generational destruction is contrary to the mercy and righteousness of God and must be repented of. Instead we are to pray for justice with mercy, for the person to be convicted, to repent, to turn to God, and to make restitution, as Zacchaeus did Luke 19:8. We also pray that God would give you grace to forgive even as God in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32, not excusing the wrong but releasing bitterness so your own heart is not consumed.

We also lovingly correct the thoughts that God is nowhere, dead, powerless, inactive like a stone, without grace or mercy, that Satan is more powerful, that God only punishes the honest, that waiting for God's time means waiting until death, and that miracles ceased two thousand years ago. These thoughts come from deep discouragement and from the words of your husband who says do not believe God. We understand the exhaustion, but this is not true. God is very much alive and present, for He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep Psalm 121:4, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews 13:8, and with God nothing will be impossible Luke 1:37 and Ah Lord Yahweh, behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm, there is nothing too hard for you Jeremiah 32:17. God is not slow concerning His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9. The verse that a thousand years with the Lord is as one day 2 Peter 3:8 does not mean God withholds grace until death, but that His perspective is eternal and His timing is perfect, and His mercies are new every morning Lamentations 3:22-23. God does allow the righteous to suffer for a time for refining, for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines Hebrews 12:6, but He does not abandon the honest, for Yahweh loves justice and will not forsake his saints Psalm 37:28 and all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28. Satan is not greater than God, for greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. God still hears, still acts, still does miracles, and still will bring justice, though His judgments are often not immediate as we wish, because He desires repentance first.

Your husband's claim that God punishes those who love Him and that faith brings suffering alone is not the whole truth. God does allow trials to strengthen faith, Consider it all joy when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance James 1:2-3, but He also is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Corinthians 10:13. Do not let your faith decrease second by second, but hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful Hebrews 10:23.

We also want to remind you gently that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and salvation. You mentioned praying via Jesus and we affirm this, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not already, place your full trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, confess Him as Lord, for if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9.

Now we pray together.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come to You. We thank You that You are alive, faithful, merciful, gracious, all powerful, and near to the brokenhearted Psalm 34:18. We lift up this family to You. Provide for their job needs according to Your will, grant permanent provision where You desire and give patience to wait for Your perfect time. Protect the one in the new temporary position and cause all dues from the previous hospital to be released without loss or hindrance. Open a temporary and then permanent door for the other family member. Heal our dear one who fell and is suffering, lay Your healing hand upon the body, restore quickly and grant peace to the family. Guide the marriage proposal, let Your will be clear, provide a godly believing husband of good character and habits who fears You, and let the marriage be in Your timing for Your glory. Grant wisdom to steward finances, to avoid waste, to use money usefully. Provide a house according to Your provision, enable the establishment of clinics for Your service, and enable them to be a blessing to the poor by providing work. Move the heart of the man who holds the lease amount, convict him of lying and cheating, bring him to repentance and to repay what is owed with interest without delay, and give this family wisdom to pursue what is just and lawful with integrity. Forgive us for vengeful prayers and cleanse our hearts from bitterness, teach us to love our enemies and to leave vengeance in Your hands, and do not let the children suffer for the parents wrong. Strengthen faith where it is weakening, silence the lie that You are nowhere, reveal that You are now here, present and faithful. Help this husband and family to see Your goodness and to trust You again. We ask all this in the saving and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope, amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We've read your list and we hear how heavy these last months have been, especially now as you are in the hospital after the fall. We are praying for your healing and for strength for your family as they help with daily work while you recover.

We also hear the strain around the jobs, the marriage proposal you are waiting on, the hope for a home and clinics, and the long, painful wait for the lease amount to be returned. Going more than a year with bank interest growing and sleep disrupted would wear anyone down, and it makes sense that you are asking where justice is.

In this season we encourage you to stay close to your medical team and follow their guidance for the next week or two, and to let family and trusted friends share the load at home. For the lease matter, it can help to keep careful notes of what was promised and paid, and to seek calm, wise counsel from a pastor or other trusted advisor about next steps, so you don't have to carry the burden alone.

We are asking God to meet you in each of these places with His care and direction.

Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus' name. Bring healing to his body, peace to his home, wisdom for the job and marriage decisions, and a just and honest resolution for the finances. Guard his heart from despair and draw him close to Your presence day by day. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your many burdens have been laid before the Lord and we have heard your cry with deep sympathy and earnest prayer. You have asked that we pray continuously, and we will do so, yet we must pray as the Word of God teaches us to pray, with truth and holiness and submission to His will.

We will pray that the Lord in His providence will provide for your family according to His wisdom. After having done your best to earn your daily bread and to fight the battle of life, you may throw yourself upon the promise of God, wherein He has said, Your bread shall be given you, and your water shall be sure. We will ask that He who opens His hand and supplies all need will guide your family members toward honest and fitting work, whether it be in government service or elsewhere, and that He will keep them from oppression and preserve them from those who would withhold what is due. For the one who labors under a temporary contract and has not received wages on time, and for the one who has newly entered another hospital, we will pray that the Lord will give favor, keep them from all snares and hinderances, and grant a peaceful release and just settlement where it is due, without loss and without strife.

For the marriage that lies upon your heart, we will pray that the Lord will provide a godly bridegroom according to His Word, a man of good habits and clean life, who walks in the fear of God and not merely a man of handsome earnings. Marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, ordained of God, and we will ask that if this proposal now under consideration be of the Lord, He will make it plain, and if it be not of Him, He will in mercy close the door. We will pray that you seek first character formed by Christ, for without faith it is impossible to please God, and without love no service is acceptable.

For your own body, having fallen from your two wheeler and now kept as a patient in much pain, we will pray for healing and pardon. Our sicknesses are of the Lord's appointing, however painful they may be, and He humbles us that we may seek Him. Cry from your very soul, God be merciful to me a sinner, and He will hear. The one remedy for sin sick souls is the Word of God applied by the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ Himself is the Word sent for healing. We will ask the Lord to raise you up within these weeks, to restore strength to your limbs, and to enable you again to do your daily duties with thankfulness.

For your house, for the wise use of your earnings, for the desire to establish clinics according to medical qualification and to give work to the poor and needy, we will pray that God will make you faithful stewards. We will ask that what He entrusts to you be not wasted nor drawn away by unnecessary and forceful expenses, but used usefully for His glory and the good of others.

Concerning the great trial of the leased house and the large sum withheld these many months, with interest increasing upon the gold loan, we hear the anguish that has kept your family sleepless and divided. You have asked us to pray that God would inflict severe physical punishment upon that man and his wife, that their tongues should be cut off, their hands paralyzed, their house demolished, their children ruined in education, and that they should suffer lifelong affliction without death. We cannot pray thus. Vengeance belongs unto the Lord, and we are commanded to leave it in His hands. To ask for the mutilation of bodies, the destruction of homes, or the spoiling of children is not after the spirit of Christ, who prayed for His enemies, Father forgive them. We will instead pray as Scripture teaches, that God who is just will bring about what is right, that the man may be moved to repay what is due, whether it be rent for these months or the full interest with charges, and that he may be brought to honesty and repentance. We will pray that the Lord will preserve you from bitterness, and that you may be kept from the malaria of corruption which is in the world through lust for revenge, being kept by the power of God through faith. Treat God truthfully, lay bare your soul before Him, and He will be faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse. Do not cast the blame of unbelief upon God as though He were not ready, for all things are ready with Him in Christ.

You have written in great distress that God seems inactive, powerless, silent, that He hears but does not act, that His time comes only after death, and that the wicked prosper while the honest suffer. You have heard a voice in your own home saying God is nowhere. Hear the Word of the Lord, Let God be true and every man a liar. If God says one thing and every man says another, God is true and cannot lie, His Word like Himself is immutable. God is not a stone in a well, nor is He dead. He is now here, present to help. Low thoughts of God create doubts and hold us in bondage, but high thoughts of God beget hope and confidence. When the worst had come to the worst, then did God arise and lay bare His arm for His people. This is His general rule. He grants pardon when men are humbled, and He brings deliverance in His perfect time, which is not too late and not too slow, for with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, yet He numbers our days and hears our prayers this very hour.

Do not say there is no grace or mercy till death. By grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, and we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Tribulation works patience, and patience experience, and experience hope. Do not give God a bad name by saying you cannot get through this trouble, for He has brought you through many troubles already. He is worthy of your confidence. The mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but His purpose shall not cease to stand.

Therefore let us pray together not for the destruction of your adversary, but for justice tempered with mercy, that God would order the repayment without loss, that peace would return to your home, that your faith which now feels to decrease minute by minute may be renewed, and that your husband also may see that God is faithful. We will pray that you may be healed and then serve, as Peter's wife's mother was healed and straightway arose and ministered. We will pray that you may be kept from anxiety and fear, and that you may have a foretaste of heaven upon earth by trusting and not fearing.

May the Lord who watches over all who love Him, and who will in His own righteous way judge all wickedness, give you grace to wait upon Him, to forgive as you have been forgiven through Jesus Christ alone, and to know that He is able still to do miracles, to pardon and to heal. We will continue to bear you before the throne of grace that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, for Christ's sake. Amen.
