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 joyful 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 join together with you in prayer before our Father through Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to God and it is by His name we are saved, as it is written Acts 4:12 and John 14:6. We thank you for bringing all of these burdens to the Lord, and we lift them with you with faith and with biblical truth.

We pray for your family members seeking permanent government and public sector positions according to their qualifications. We ask the Lord to open doors that no man can shut and to provide work that allows them to glorify Him and serve their patients with integrity. We remember the word in Philippians 4:19 that our God will supply every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, and Colossians 3:23 that whatever we do, we should work heartily as for the Lord. We pray for the family member in the temporary contract position who has moved to a new temporary position in a reputed institution, that God would grant favor, protection from obstacles or harm from any HOD or department from the previous hospital, and that there would be no monetary loss but a full and prompt settlement of all pending salary without delay or injustice. We pray also for the other family member waiting for even a temporary government job urgently, and then for a permanent position in God's perfect timing, that God would sustain you both as you wait upon Him, for Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength.

We pray for the marriage request for your family member. We rejoice that you are seeking a godly, spiritually minded bridegroom, a man with good habits and no bad habits according to the Bible, and we strongly affirm God's design for marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. We pray that this courtship would be entered into with the goal of a Christ-centered marriage, not merely partnership, and that both would be believers equally yoked as taught in 2 Corinthians 6:14. We pray for the proposal now under process, that if it is God's will it will succeed, and if not, that God will clearly close the door, for Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in Yahweh with all our heart and he will direct our paths. We pray that God would provide a husband who is faithful, sober-minded, self-controlled and a provider, as described in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, and that the marriage would occur in God's earliest perfect time.

We also lift up your physical healing after the fall from your two wheeler. We pray for complete restoration in the next one to two weeks, that God would heal every injury and relieve the critical situation you face, so you may return to your routine and home duties. We pray according to James 5:15 and Psalm 103:3 that the Lord heals all our diseases, and we ask for His comfort and strength for you and your family during this suffering. We pray Isaiah 41:10 over you, that you will not fear for God is with you.

We pray for your desire to buy an individual house, to establish clinics according to your family members' medical qualifications, and to use your earnings wisely without waste. We ask God to grant wisdom in stewardship, for Proverbs 21:5 says the plans of the diligent surely lead to profit, and Matthew 6:33 reminds us to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be added. We pray that your money would be used usefully for God's glory and not wasted on unnecessary things, and that God would bless the vision to help the poor, both educated and illiterate, to improve their standard of living, which reflects Proverbs 19:17 that he who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh.

We must also address with love and truth the deep pain and anger concerning the house lease amount and the person who has withheld your money for more than seventeen months while you carry the burden of bank interest from a gold loan. We understand the sleepless nights, the misunderstanding in the family, and the feeling that justice is delayed. It is right to seek justice and to pray for the return of what is owed, and we join you in asking God to move upon this person to repay the full amount without loss, whether through eight months house rent or the full bank interest with charges, whatever is just to make you whole. We pray for God's provision to cover the interest and that He would convict this man to act honestly, for Proverbs 11:1 says a false balance is an abomination to Yahweh.

Yet we must gently rebuke and correct the prayers for severe physical and material punishment upon this man and his wife and children, asking for lifelong suffering, loss of jobs, decay of tongues, cutting off of hands, destruction of their house, and spoiling of their children's education. Such prayers do not align with the heart of Christ. The Scripture is clear in Romans 12:19 that vengeance belongs to the Lord, he will repay, and in Romans 12:17-21 we are commanded not to repay evil for evil but to overcome evil with good. Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:44 to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who mistreat us. The children should not be cursed for the father's sin, as Deuteronomy 24:16 teaches, and we are called in Ephesians 4:31-32 to let all bitterness and wrath be put away and to be kind and forgiving as God in Christ forgave us. To pray for mutilation and generational harm is to ask God to violate His own mercy and justice. Instead we pray as you also desired at the end, that God would bring conviction that leads to repentance, that this man and his wife would face godly sorrow, that they would repay what they owe and turn to God and be saved, not that they would live in endless torment without death.

We also hear your anguish when you say God is nowhere, that He is inactive, powerless, silent, merciless, and that miracles no longer happen and that the honest suffer while the wicked prosper. We lovingly correct this. God is very much here, alive and faithful, for Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and Jeremiah 32:27 declares there is nothing too hard for Yahweh. He is not slow as we count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance as written in 2 Peter 3:9. The verse you quoted, 2 Peter 3:8, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, does not mean there is no grace till death, but that God's timing is eternal and His mercy endures forever as in Lamentations 3:22-23. The psalmist also wrestled as you do in Psalm 73 and Habakkuk 1:13, asking why the wicked swallow up the righteous, yet God assures us in Psalm 37:7-9 to rest in Yahweh and wait patiently for him and that evildoers shall be cut off. God does see, He does act, and He will bring justice in His perfect time, and even now He works all things together for good for those who love Him according to Romans 8:28.

We grieve to hear your husband saying God punishes those who love Him and that you should not believe. The truth is opposite, Psalm 34:18 says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and Hebrews 13:5 promises he will in no way leave us nor forsake us. Your suffering from the accident is not a punishment from God for your faith, but a result of living in a fallen world where God can still bring healing and redemption. Do not let your faith decrease minute by minute, but hold fast, for 1 Corinthians 10:13 reminds us God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come boldly to your throne of grace. We ask for provision of permanent government jobs for these family members in your will and timing, for fair settlement of salaries and favor in their workplaces. We ask for a godly marriage for this family member, a believing doctor husband of good character and earnings who will honor you, and we ask for clarity on the present proposal. We ask for swift and complete healing from this accident and for peace in the home. We ask for wisdom to manage money without waste, for the provision of a house and for the establishment of clinics for your glory and for employment for the poor. We ask for the swift return of the lease amount with justice and without further loss, that the bank burden would be lifted. And Father, we ask you to work in the heart of the debtor and his wife, convict them of dishonesty, grant them repentance and the willingness to repay, and save them by your mercy rather than destroy them. Forgive us for any desire for revenge and teach us to forgive and to trust your perfect justice. Strengthen this dear one and the family when faith feels weak, remind them you are now here, you are alive, you are faithful, gracious and merciful, and you still do miracles. Let your peace guard their hearts, and let your will be done in every one of these requests. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We read all you shared and hear how heavy this season has been for you and your family. So many important hopes are weighing on you at once, steady work, a godly marriage for your family member, a home and clinics for the future, and at the same time you are dealing with real pain from your fall and the long strain over the lease money.

We are especially mindful of your accident. Since you are still in the hospital and facing a week or two of recovery, please keep following your doctors closely and let family help with daily tasks while you heal. We are praying for a steady recovery and for rest for your family as you all carry this.

For the lease matter, we understand the frustration of waiting so long while bank interest grows. It can help to gather your papers in one place and seek wise, calm counsel from a trusted pastor or a local legal aid service about orderly next steps for seeking what is owed. That does not replace prayer, but walks alongside it.

We also hear how tired your faith feels right now, and how hard it is when your husband is speaking discouragement over you. We pray God will draw near to you in that weariness and give you peace day by day.

Father, in Jesus' name we lift this family to You. Bring healing to this injury, provide for daily needs, give wisdom for the job searches and the marriage proposal, and work toward a fair and honest resolution for the lease amount. Guard this home with Your peace, steady their hearts when faith feels thin, and lead them in Your will. Amen.

 

[Faomond]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has come before the Lord and He has heard the cry of a troubled heart. The day of trouble is the very time to call upon God, and such calling is a truthful recognition that God is, and that He is near, not far off. He hears us when we cannot hear ourselves pray and when we cannot put our words in proper order, for He knows what we mean to say and gives us what we really need.

We will pray with you and for you concerning these burdens, yet we must pray as the Scripture teaches us to pray.

For your family members who seek work, we ask the Lord to provide that which is needful and right according to His will. Whether the door be a permanent government post or a temporary place of service, we pray that He will give honest labour, faithful stewardship, and timely wages, and that no hand of oppression from former or present masters may hinder them. We pray also that He will keep them from loss and give them favour to be settled honourably, and that in whatever station He places them they may commend His glory to those among whom they serve, as those who have first been healed by Christ and then serve Him. For without faith it is impossible to please God, and there is no strength in any man to serve Him acceptably until Christ has first ministered His grace to the soul. Seek first that your own souls are under His healing hand, and then your service, whether in a hospital, a clinic, or any calling, will be acceptable.

For the marriage sought for your family member, we join you in asking the Lord for a godly bridegroom, a man of good habits and clean life according to the Bible, one who walks in the fear of God and will keep covenant as one man with one woman for life. This is the Lord's own ordinance for marriage, and we pray that if the proposal now under consideration be of Him, He will make it plain and prosper it, and if it be not of Him, He will in mercy close the door. We pray that haste may not outrun wisdom, but that you may wait for God's order and His perfect time.

For your own body, now laid aside by a fall from your two wheeler and kept as a patient in the hospital, we pray the Lord to lay His healing hand upon you. The Physician is at the right hand of God, and the least thing about Christ is healing. As He said of old, Man, your sins are forgiven you, so does He still first forgive and then heal. We pray that in one or two weeks, as you hope, you may be restored to do your routine and home duties, and that this affliction may work together for good, pointing you more fully to the Giver of all mercies.

For a house to dwell in, for clinics according to medical qualification, for means to give honest employment to the poor whether learned or unlearned, and for grace to steward your earnings without waste or forced and needless spending, we pray that the Lord will give you wisdom. It is well to consider where and how we live, that we may hear His Word and do His will, and to ask Him to keep us from the love of money on the one hand and from wastefulness on the other.

Concerning the great sum paid for the house lease and the man who has not kept his promise for these seventeen months, who has not returned the money nor paid the rent as he promised while you bear the burden of bank interest and charges, we hear your grief and the sleepless nights and misunderstandings it has brought into your family. It is right to ask God for justice and for the return of what is owed, even for eight months rent or for the interest and charges that would make you whole. The Lord loves righteousness and He will not hold the wicked guiltless forever.

Yet we must entreat you, as before God who sees all sin and abhors all that is not according to strictest truth, not to ask Him to cut off tongues, to paralyze hands, to destroy houses, to blast the education of children, or to lay lifelong suffering unto death upon that man and his wife and family. Vengeance belongs unto the Lord. He has said, I will repay. To pray for such mutilations and generational curses is not the prayer of Christ, who prayed for His enemies, Father, forgive them. We may pray for justice, we may pray that the wicked be stopped from cheating others, we may pray that God would bring upon him such earthly conviction, sleeplessness, loss of peace, or lawful consequences as may awaken his conscience, but we must also pray for his repentance and salvation, for God watches over all who love Him and will in His own holy way deal with the wicked. To desire that he live on only to suffer without death and without hope is to ask what love forbids.

You ask, why does the honest suffer while the wicked prospers, and why does God seem silent. The prophet Habakkuk asked the same, Why do you tolerate the treacherous, why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves. The answer is not that God is dead, or a stone in a well, or powerless while Satan is powerful, or that He cannot do miracles now as He did two thousand years ago. He makes the storm a calm, and what a change He works when He arises. When the worst has come to the worst, He lays bare His arm. When nothing else is left you, God remains and God appears. Low thoughts of God create doubts of pardon and hold us in bondage, but high thoughts of God beget hope.

Do not say that one day with God as a thousand years means He has no grace or mercy till death. That word speaks of His eternity and His patience, not His slowness to do good. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, but is longsuffering, willing that men should come to repentance. His time is perfect, and to leave the when with God is faith. If He were not to deliver us till after we had perished, it would be no deliverance at all, therefore the deliverance must come at the right time. Prevention is better than cure, and trusting before fear comes is better than trusting only when afraid, yet both are blessed. What time I am afraid, I will trust in You, said David, and Isaiah could say, I will trust and not be afraid. This is the short way with the enemy.

Your husband says God is nowhere. The truth is God is now here, very near to them that call upon Him. Do not let your faith decrease second by second because chastening feels heavy. A true child of God loves a chastening God and does not turn his back when the Lord seems robed in thunder, but falls prostrate and cries, Show me why You contend with me. He does not punish His children because He hates them, but because He loves them, and He will not let honest dealing be in vain. Be honest with Him. Confess that you have no fitness of your own, that you need His holiness and His mercy, and plead the blood of Jesus Christ, for we are justified by faith and not by works, and when the heart loves God through trusting in Jesus, service becomes delight.

Therefore let us pray thus. O Lord, forgive first, then heal. Speak peace to these souls through the Word applied by the Holy Spirit, even Jesus Christ who was sent to be the sinner's Friend and Saviour. Restore the fallen body, provide honourable work, guide the marriage according to Your holy covenant of one man and one woman, give a home, give wisdom in spending, open doors for honest clinics and for employment of the poor, and in the matter of the lease, move the heart of this debtor to repay what is just, without further loss or delay, and grant to all parties repentance and faith. Keep this family from unbelief that questions when, and teach them to leave tomorrow with their Father in Heaven, to fear and to trust, to trust and not to fear, and to speak well of Your name to their neighbours. We ask this not because we are worthy, but because Christ died for the ungodly, and in His name we come. Amen.
