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 reduce 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) 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 18 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 join with you in giving all praise to our God and we thank you for coming to Him through Jesus, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is in no other name that we are saved. 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 sought Him through Christ and we will continue to pray with you for these many burdens.

We lift up before the Lord your family members who desire permanent government and public sector positions according to their qualifications. We pray that God in His wisdom and perfect will would open doors that no man can shut and provide work where you can serve faithfully and testify of His glory to patients and colleagues. We remember the word, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23 and Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed Proverbs 16:3 and My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. We pray especially for the family member who has moved to a new hospital on a temporary contract, that God would protect that new position from all hurdles and obstacles, that He would give favor with the HOD and all departments, and that He would bring justice regarding the previous hospital, the salary due for work already done, the cheque demanded in lieu of notice period, and the full settlement without any monetary loss. We pray that the new institution would pay the salary for the last month faithfully and that both family members waiting for permanent positions would be sustained till God's time and will, trusting that His timing is not slowness but mercy. We also pray for the other family member seeking an urgent temporary government job as she waits for a permanent one, that the Lord would provide quickly according to His will.

We pray for the marriage request you have laid before the Lord. We agree with you in seeking a godly bridegroom for your family member, a man who fears God, who walks in good habits and turns from every bad habit as Scripture commands, and who will honor marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. We pray for a believer who is equally yoked, for Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14, and that this courtship would be entered with the goal of a Christ centered marriage that honors God. We pray for the proposal now under process, that if it is God's will it will succeed with clarity and peace, and if not, that God in His mercy will close the door firmly and guide you to His better order. We pray that God would provide a husband who is diligent, honest, and able to provide, and that the marriage would occur in God's perfect timing at the earliest time He ordains.

We lift up your healing after the fall from your two wheeler. We are grieved to hear you are admitted as a patient and facing a critical time needing one to two weeks to recover. We pray for the Lord's healing hand upon you, for He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3 and that by His stripes we are healed Isaiah 53:5. We ask God to restore you urgently, to ease your pain, to give skill to those caring for you, and to enable you to return to your routine and household work. We pray also for your request for your own house, for wise stewardship so that earnings are not wasted on unnecessary and unavoidable expenses, for the desire to establish clinics according to medical qualifications to serve others, and for the burden to give jobs to the poor and educated and illiterate to improve their lives. May God grant wisdom to steward money well, for The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit Proverbs 21:5 and to use what He provides for His glory.

We must speak with love and truth about the deep pain regarding the house lease amount and the person who has withheld it for more than eighteen months. We understand the sleepless nights, the increasing bank interest from the gold loan, the misunderstanding in the family, and the sense of injustice when you see the wicked prosper while the honest suffer. Your hurt is real and God sees it, for Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed Psalm 103:6 and The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just Deuteronomy 32:4.

Yet we must gently rebuke and correct the prayers you have asked us to pray for severe physical and material punishment upon that man and his wife and children, that their tongues be cut off, their hands paralyzed, their house demolished, their jobs lost forever, and their children's education spoiled. This is not the way Christ has taught us to pray. The Lord says, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19 and 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. We are also taught, The soul who sins, he shall die, the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father Ezekiel 18:20, so we must not ask God to punish innocent children for their parents' wrong. To ask for lifelong torture and mutilation is to ask for what God forbids us to desire, for God desires that the wicked turn from his way and live Ezekiel 33:11 and 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.

We do pray with you for justice and restitution. We pray that God would move upon the heart of this house owner to repay what he owes, with the house rent or the full bank interest and charges, without loss to you, and that God would convict him of lying and cheating so that he repents and turns to God. We pray that God would give you favor to recover the full amount immediately and that any earthly authorities and lawful means would be used with integrity. But we leave vengeance to God and we pray for the man and his wife not for destruction but for repentance, that they would know God is now here, alive and holy, and that they would fear Him and cease to cheat others.

We also hear your anguish and your husband's words that God is nowhere, that He punishes those who love Him, that He is inactive, powerless, a stone, dead, without mercy or grace, and that He no longer does miracles. We rebuke that lie with compassion. Our God is very much alive, faithful, and powerful. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews 13:8 and It is because of Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion does not fail, they are new every morning, great is your faithfulness Lamentations 3:22-23. The verse you quoted, Beloved, do not be ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day 2 Peter 3:8, does not mean God withholds grace until death, it means His patience is great and His timing is perfect and far above ours, for My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh Isaiah 55:8. God has not stopped doing miracles, He still hears, He still heals, He still delivers, and He hears the honest cry. Do not fret because of evildoers Psalm 37:1 for they shall soon be cut down, while those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land Psalm 37:9. Your suffering is not a sign that God has abandoned you, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart Psalm 34:18 and God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God Romans 8:28, even when we cannot see how.

We pray for your faith which you say is decreasing second by second, and for your husband who is saying do not believe God. We ask the Lord to strengthen you both, to give you sleep in peace, to remove misunderstanding within the family, to guard your hearts from the enemy's lies, and to restore hope. We pray that you would cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7 and that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You that You are holy, just, merciful, and alive forevermore. We ask You to provide for this family according to Your will, to secure permanent work for those waiting, to protect the new temporary position from every obstacle and to restore all salary and settlement without loss. Provide the urgent temporary job for Your daughter who waits. Lead and guide the marriage proposal now under consideration, let Your will be clear, give a godly doctor husband with good habits and no bad habits if it is Your order, and let the marriage honor You. Touch and heal our loved one who has fallen and is suffering, restore the body quickly, take away pain, and let Your healing be a testimony. Provide an own house in Your time, teach faithful stewardship so money is not wasted, bless the desire to establish clinics and to give jobs to the poor. Move upon the heart of the house owner who owes this large lease amount, convict him of untruth, cause him to repay the full amount with rent and interest without delay, and bring him and his wife to repentance and salvation rather than destruction. Forgive us for any vengeful thoughts and teach us to love our enemies and leave justice in Your righteous hands. Comfort this family in sleepless nights, heal misunderstanding, strengthen faith where it is weak, silence the voice that says You are nowhere, and reveal that You are now here, near, and mighty to save. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and let all these requests bring glory to Your name. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, Amen.

 

[hostadmin]

Thank you for sharing all of this so openly. We hear how heavy these months have been, and right now we are especially concerned for you after your two wheeler fall and hospital admission. We are praying for your healing and for strength for your family as you wait the next one to two weeks to recover and get back to daily work.

We also hear the weight you were already carrying before the accident, the strain of temporary work and delayed salary and the large notice amount, the waiting for permanent work for both family members, the marriage proposal you are asking God to make clear, the hope for a house and for clinics that could help others, and the long eighteen months of waiting for the lease amount and rent to be returned while bank interest grows. It makes sense you feel worn down and sleepless, and that questions about God's timing and justice have grown loud, especially when your husband is urging you not to trust Him. Many believers walk through seasons where doubt feels emotional and overwhelming, not because faith has failed but because the hurt and the waiting are so real.

In these next days please keep following your medical team's guidance closely and let family or a trusted friend stay near as you heal, alongside prayer. It can also help to keep copies of all job and lease papers together in one place and to talk through next steps with a wise pastor or counselor nearby who knows your situation.

Father, we lift our brother to You in Jesus name. Bring healing to his body, peace to his home, wisdom for each job and marriage decision, and Your provision for what is owed. Guard his heart when faith feels thin and draw him close to Your steadiness and care. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have heard the burden of your heart and we carry it with you to the throne of grace, where our Lord Jesus Christ ever lives to make intercession for His people.

You have laid before the Lord many things, for work, for marriage, for a house, for daily bread and for healing after your fall, and it is right to bring all these cares to Him, for He cares for you. We will pray that He will provide for your household according to His wisdom, that those who seek honest labour may find it, that what is due for work already done may be paid without loss or hindrance, and that both the former and the present hospital may deal justly. If it be His will to grant permanent work in the public service, we ask that He would open that door in His own time, and if not, that He would show a better path wherein you may still declare His glory to those committed to your care. Remember how the Lord waits to be gracious, as it is written, therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you. We are like children who would snatch unripe fruit, but our Father knows the hour when the fruit is ripe. Pray on, wait on, knock, and if the door is not opened, knock again with greater earnestness than before, always saying, Thy will be done.

For the marriage of your family member we join you in asking the Lord for a godly and pure union, as marriage is ordained of God to be a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, entered into in the fear of the Lord. To seek a bridegroom who walks in good habits and turns from bad habits according to the Bible is a right desire. We pray that if the proposal now under consideration is of the Lord it may prosper, and if it is not of Him that He in His mercy would clearly close that door. Trust not in earnings or in profession alone, but seek first a man whose heart has the law of God written upon it. No man can write that law upon his own heart, nor can we write it upon another, the heart is locked up too tightly for us to get at it, but God has the key and He opens it as a man would do his own writing desk. Pray that the Lord would give a new heart at the foot of the Cross, for there alone is the place to get a new heart, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, and then the life that follows will show the writing of His hand.

For your own body, after the fall from your two wheeler, we ask the Great Physician for healing and for patience in recovery. Healing and forgiveness are placed in happy conjunction in the gospel. The Lord who pardons sin also heals the sick when they look not for it, and He is very pitiful and has compassion upon you in your misery. May He raise you up in one or two weeks as you hope, and give you strength to return to your duties, and may this sickness, as all sickness does, lead you to prayer and then to praise.

For your house, your earnings and the desire to establish clinics and to give work to the poor, we pray that the Lord would make you wise stewards. It is good to ask that money be not wasted, but spent usefully for His glory and for the good of others. Aspire to live to the utmost of life's possibilities by drinking in as much of love and life and light from God as you can hold, and then reflecting that light among men. If He grants you a house or a clinic, let it be consecrated to His service.

Concerning the great wrong done to you over the house lease, where a large sum is withheld these eighteen months and interest mounts upon your gold loan, we feel deeply the injustice that keeps you sleepless and brings strife into your home. It is right to ask God for justice and for the return of what is owed, and we will pray that the man who has dealt falsely may be moved to repay what is due, whether it be rent for eight months or the full interest with charges, without further loss to you, and that lawful means may prosper to that end. But we cannot ask God to cut off hands or tongues, to paralyze, to destroy houses, to ruin children or to inflict lifelong sufferings unto death upon that man and his wife. Such prayers belong not to the people of Christ. Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. We are commanded to love our enemies and to pray for those who despitefully use us, that they may repent and turn to God. The Lord watches over all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy in His own righteous time and way, not according to the measure we prescribe. To dictate to God how He must punish is to take His sceptre into our own hands.

You ask why the honest suffer while the wicked prosper, and why God seems silent, slow, even powerless, and your husband in his grief says God is nowhere. Hear the word of the Lord. God is not a stone in a well, He is the living God who sees and hears. He is not slow as men count slowness, but is longsuffering, waiting to be gracious and ready to pardon through Jesus Christ. One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, not to show that He will give no grace till death, but to show that His time is not our time and His mercy is greater than our haste. He was not inactive when Christ kept and fulfilled the law for us upon the Cross, and He is not inactive now. The least things that come from Christ have healing virtue in them, as leaves from the tree of life, and a word of His coming home to the heart brings healing to conscience and to affliction.

Do not let faith sink second by second. The old heart must be broken, and the new heart must be given. Go again to Christ, who bore our sins and our sicknesses, and confess before Him both your needs and your angry thoughts toward your enemy. He does not grant forgiveness until we recognize that He is great in justice and bow in penitence and honor that justice, and then He freely pardons. Welcome pardon and healing through our Lord Jesus. If your faith is weak, ask Him to increase it. If your husband doubts, pray for him that he may see that God is now here, not nowhere, present to save.

We pray thus: O Father, for Jesus sake, have mercy upon this family. Provide their daily bread, guide them in work and in marriage, heal the body that is bruised, guard their money from waste, and in Thy perfect time give what Thou seest best. Cause the sum unjustly withheld to be restored by lawful and peaceable means. Teach them to wait upon Thee expectantly and patiently, to forgive as they have been forgiven, and to leave vengeance in Thy hands. Write Thy law upon their hearts, keep them from the counsel of Satan, and let them prove Thy power to save and to heal even now. We ask all through Jesus Christ our only Saviour, who is our righteousness and our peace. Amen.
