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 3 weeks before 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 without any monetary loss or any money loss and without any problem to relieve from the existing job and get the full settlement immediately and salary without any loss. The Previous Hospital asked to pay salary in lieu of Notice Period and that amount is also huge according to me and there was no option for me to force to given a Cheque for that amount in favour of the PAO, Hospital name which God have to return to me immediately and redeuce my critical financial situation and moreover to pay my salary for working period and settle for my satisfaction and without any amount loss. Also the new Hospital/Institution has to pay the salary which I have worked for the last month.

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) My family members reached our home safely. Our Household articles reached to our home safely. Also Iour family member have to get a good rental house with a minimum / less rent amount and very minimum deposit / Advance amount to stay in the new place for work in the new Hospital/institution.

(4) To buy own individual house

(5) 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.

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

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

(8) 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 18 Months (one year and six 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 thank you for giving praise to our God and for coming to Him via Jesus, for we agree together that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved and heard. As it is written, 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. We rejoice that you have come in that precious name and we join with you in prayer.

We hear your many burdens and we lift them with you before the throne of grace. We pray for your family members who desire permanent government and public sector positions according to their qualifications, and for the one who is in a temporary contract position who has suffered delayed salary and difficulty in transition. We ask our Father to provide for your daily needs and to open doors that no man can shut, and to do so in His perfect will and timing. We remember the word Seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33 and My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. We pray that the new hospital and institution will deal justly, that wages owed for work done will be paid promptly, for the laborer is worthy of his wages 1 Timothy 5:18, and that any requirement of payment in lieu of notice and the cheque given will be resolved justly without loss or oppression, and that there will be no hindrance or retaliation from the previous hospital or its departments. We ask for favor, integrity, and peace in both workplaces, and for a temporary government position for the other family member as you wait on the Lord for permanent provision.

We also join you in prayer for a godly marriage. We affirm with you that marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman ordained by God, and we pray that the Lord will provide a godly bridegroom who loves Christ, who walks in purity and good habits according to the Bible, with no bad habits, and who will be a faithful husband. We pray that any courtship will be entered with the goal of a Christ centered marriage and that you will seek a spouse who is a fellow believer, for we are told Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14 and that marriage is honourable Hebrews 13:4. We pray for the proposal now under process that if it is the Lord’s will it will succeed, and if not that He will clearly close the door, for we trust that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord Psalm 37:23. We pray that you will discern His will with patience and counsel and purity.

We lift up your healing after your fall from your two wheeler. We pray for your complete recovery in the next weeks, for the Lord to touch your body, to ease pain, and to restore you to your routine and household duties. We pray as it is written Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed Jeremiah 17:14 and that He will be your strength. We thank God that your family members and household articles reached home safely and we pray for a good rental house with minimal rent and deposit near the new place of work, and in time for your own house according to His provision. We pray for wisdom in stewardship that your earnings will not be wasted on unnecessary things but used faithfully, for we are stewards of what God provides.

We also pray for your desires to establish clinics according to medical qualifications and to give jobs to the poor and needy. Those are good desires to be a blessing to others, and we pray the Lord will guide you to use your gifts to show His glory to patients and to the community.

We must speak to you with love and truth about the deep pain and anger you feel toward the man who took your lease amount and has not returned it for more than seventeen months, and who has not paid the house rent or interest as promised while you bear the burden of a gold loan. It is right to seek justice and the return of what is owed, and God hears the cry of those who are wronged. We will pray earnestly that God will move upon this man to repay what he owes quickly and justly, with the eight months rent or the full bank interest and charges as you have asked, without further loss to your family. We pray that God will grant you justice and relieve your sleepless nights and family distress, for He is a God of justice Isaiah 30:18.

Yet we must gently rebuke and correct the prayers you have asked for physical and material destruction upon this man and his wife and children. To ask that their tongues be cut off, hands paralyzed or cut down, jobs destroyed until death, houses demolished, children’s education spoiled, and lifelong suffering is not according to the heart of Christ. We cannot join in praying for such curses, for the Lord has said Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19 and Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21. Our Lord commands us 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. Even when wronged, we are to forgive as God in Christ forgave us Ephesians 4:32 and to leave judgment to Him who judges righteously 1 Peter 2:23. To pray for harm upon children for the sins of parents is also contrary to scripture, for each will answer for his own sin Ezekiel 18:20. We understand your anguish and your feeling that without severe punishment he will never repent, but true repentance comes by the goodness of God leading to repentance Romans 2:4, not by our curses. We pray instead that God will convict this man and his wife, that they will speak truth, repay what is owed, and turn to God in repentance, and if they refuse, that God in His own holy and measured way will bring earthly consequences and ultimately eternal justice, for The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy Psalm 145:20.

We also hear your deep discouragement where you question whether God is alive, active, faithful, merciful, or able to do miracles today, and where you feel that God is slow, inactive, like a stone, or that He punishes the honest while the wicked prosper. We understand that prolonged waiting and suffering can make faith feel weak minute by minute, especially when your husband is telling you that God is nowhere and that faith brings punishment. We lovingly correct this. Our God is alive, He is faithful, He is full of mercy and grace, and Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews 13:8. He still hears, He still heals, He still does miracles. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways higher than our ways Isaiah 55:8-9, and His timing, though it tests us, is perfect. The wicked may appear to prosper for a season, but we are told Do not fret because of evildoers Psalm 37:1 and that God will indeed bring justice in His time. Your suffering is not a sign that God is punishing you for loving Him. Whom the Lord loves, he disciplines Hebrews 12:6, but discipline is for our good, not to destroy our faith, and many sufferings are the result of living in a fallen world, not God’s rejection. We pray that God will strengthen your faith, silence the voice that says do not trust Him, and renew your hope, for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God Romans 8:28.

So we pray together now. Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You with this family. Lord, You see their need for stable employment, for just wages, for release without financial loss, for healing from this accident, for a humble rental and a future home, for wisdom with money, and for a godly marriage for their loved one. Provide according to Your will and Your riches. Heal this dear one fully, lift the pain and critical condition, restore strength. Let Your peace guard their hearts Philippians 4:7. Lord, concerning the lease money, we ask for Your righteous intervention. Move upon the heart of this debtor to repay quickly what is owed with honesty, to fulfill his promise. Let truth and justice prevail. Forgive us where we have desired vengeance, and teach us to love our enemies and to pray for their repentance. Comfort this family in sleepless nights, remove misunderstanding, and increase faith where it is growing weak. Show Your power, that You are near, that You are now here, not nowhere, that You are faithful and merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness Psalm 103:8. Let them see Your hand and give glory to You. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and mediator, Amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We hear how much you are carrying right now, and we have been praying for you. The fall from your two wheeler and the hospital stay you described is especially concerning, and we understand how hard it is to be unable to do your normal work at home while you wait to heal. We are also holding before the Lord your family’s job needs, the marriage proposal that is still being discerned, the search for a rental and for your own home, and the long, draining wait for the lease amount to be returned.

It makes sense that sleepless nights, family tension, and questions about God’s timing have grown under this kind of pressure. Waiting ### months for money you borrowed against gold, while also navigating job changes and medical bills, would wear on anyone’s faith and peace.

For these next one to two weeks, we encourage you to follow your doctors’ instructions closely for your recovery and to let family members help with daily tasks so your body can heal. It can also help to not carry the financial burden alone, talking through the lease situation with one trusted, wise counselor or pastor in person may give you clearer next steps and a little relief from facing it by yourself.

Father, in Jesus’ name we lift our brother to You. Bring healing to his body from this accident, ease his pain, and guide his medical care. Give wisdom for the job decisions and the marriage question, provide for the housing and financial needs, and bring peace to his home. In his disappointment and waiting, draw him close and remind him You see him and care for him. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your many and heavy burdens have been laid before the Lord and before His people, and we have heard you with much tenderness and prayerful concern. We will indeed pray continuously with you, and we desire to do so according to the mind of Christ and the teaching of Holy Scripture, that our prayers may be acceptable before the throne of grace.

Concerning your family members and their labors, we will pray that the Lord in His wisdom and goodness will provide what is needful for daily bread and for faithful service. The tradesman and all who do business in great waters do well to commit their way unto the Lord. It is a constant habit of trusting God that strengthens the heart against difficulties. We will ask that He will order the steps regarding the former hospital and the present institution, that salaries due may be rendered justly and without loss, that hindrances and hardships may be removed as seemeth good to Him, and that whether the door be of a temporary or permanent post, you may be kept faithful to glorify God where He has placed you, explaining His goodness to patients and to all. We cannot claim a particular government position as a right, but we can trust a faithful God to supply and to open and shut doors according to His perfect will.

For the marriage that is sought, we will pray that the Lord will provide a godly bridegroom, a man of good habits and clean life according to the Bible, walking in the fear of God, and that the marriage covenant, which God ordained as a lifelong union of one man and one woman, may be entered in holiness and in His time. For the proposal now under process, we will pray that if it be of the Lord it may prosper, and if not, that He will clearly close the door and give you peace to wait upon His order.

For your fall from the two wheeler and your present suffering, we pray earnestly for healing and restoration. May the Lord who watches over His people bring you through this trial in one or two weeks as you hope, or in whatever time He appoints, and enable you to return to your duties with renewed strength. We pray also for your household journey mercies already granted, and for a suitable rental house at a low rent and small advance, and for the longer desires of an own house and of clinics where your medical qualifications may be used to serve others. These things we leave with Him who knows our needs before we ask, praying that your earnings may be kept from waste and used with wisdom and stewardship, and that you may be enabled to give work to the poor and needy as God enables you.

Concerning the great wrong you have suffered by the lease amount withheld for these many months, with bank interest increasing and your family brought into sleeplessness and strife, we feel deeply the injustice you describe. Yet we must speak plainly in love about the prayers for severe and lifelong physical and material punishments upon that man and his wife and children. We cannot join you in asking God to cut off hands or tongue, to paralyze, to destroy a house, to spoil children, or to bring lifelong suffering until death. Such prayers for vengeance belong not to the people of God. Our Lord teaches us to forgive as we have been forgiven, and to overcome evil with love and patience and forgiveness. This is the most glorious of victories. Some pardon because they cannot punish, but God pardons from a forgiving heart, and He calls His children to imitate Him. Vengeance is the Lord's, and He will repay. The day of vengeance was borne by our Surety when all God's waves and billows went over Christ, when He was made to sink in deep mire where there was no standing, that Justice might be satisfied and Mercy might have its way. Because Justice has been satisfied at Gethsemane and at the cross, we may now leave the cause of the oppressed with Him who is both just and the justifier.

We will therefore pray otherwise for this matter, as Scripture directs. We will pray that God, who is infinitely just and will not wink at iniquity, will work justice in His own holy way, that the man may be brought to conviction and repentance, that he may restore what is due, that the rent and interest owed may be returned without further loss, and that his heart and his wife's heart may be turned from lying and cheating to truth. If he will not repent, God in His own time will judge righteously, for the Lord watches over all who love Him and will deal with the wicked according to His perfect knowledge. We will not ask for curses upon his children or his health, but we will ask for that earthly and heavenly justice which leads to repentance, or if not repented of, will be meted by God Himself.

You have asked why the honest should suffer and why God seems slow and silent, and whether He is powerless while Satan is powerful, and whether miracles have ceased. Hear this comfort. God's thoughts toward His people are everlasting and precious, not fleeting. Though Ahithophel may forsake and Judas betray, God's thoughts toward us remain thoughts of love and faithfulness. Men who are passionate are swift to strike, but the Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and His slowness is not weakness but mercy, giving space for repentance. His justice once demanded punishment for sin, and that demand was fully met when the sins of His people were reckoned upon Christ and He discharged the tremendous debt due to God. Therefore Justice itself now prevents the condemnation of those who cast themselves by faith at the foot of the cross. There is forgiveness with Him, and it is to be had now, in a moment, and it is everlasting. He who is once forgiven is forgiven to all eternity. This forgiveness is not a license to keep on sinning, but a power to fear Him and to love His truth.

Do not heed the voice that says God is nowhere or that faith brings only punishment. That is the whisper of unbelief in a time of piercing trial. God is now here, present to help, and His Word is like a fire and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces. It has power still. The same God who wrought miracles two thousand years ago lives and reigns and still hears and answers according to His wisdom. Waiting for God's time is not waiting until after death in vain. His time is perfect, and His year of the redeemed brings gladness out of thorns and thistles. To trust Him, really and intensely, is better than to be afraid and then to try to trust to banish fear.

So we will pray for you thus: that you may be kept from bitter and cursing thoughts and be given grace to forgive even as Christ has forgiven you, that your faith may not decrease minute by minute but be strengthened as you commit all these matters into His hands, that your husband and household may be kept in peace, that healing may come to your body, that provision and guidance may come for work and housing and finances, that the wrong done to you may be made right in God's way, and above all that you may know salvation through Jesus Christ alone, who is the sinner's Savior, and find in Him pardon, peace, and a hope that stands against all waves and billows.

We will continue in prayer for you before the Lord, asking not for the destruction of any, but for mercy, justice, and grace to be magnified in your life and even in the life of those who have wronged you, that all may turn and live.
