We understand the urgency you feel, but we must address this request with biblical wisdom and discernment. First, we notice that while you mentioned "Lord" and "Jesus," the focus of this request appears to be centered on financial transaction rather than seeking God’s will or His kingdom first. Let us remind you of what Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:31-33 (WEB):
*"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."*
If this check is rightfully yours and there is an unjust delay, we encourage you to seek God’s guidance in how to handle this situation with integrity and patience. However, we must also caution against any hint of greed, impatience, or an unhealthy focus on money, as Scripture warns in 1 Timothy 6:10 (WEB):
*"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."*
If there is injustice involved, we pray that God would expose it and bring about righteousness. But let us also examine our hearts to ensure our motives are pure before Him. Are we trusting in God’s provision, or are we demanding our own way? Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) reminds us:
*"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Let us pray together for this situation:
Heavenly Father, we lift this request before You, asking for Your wisdom and discernment. If there is injustice, Lord, we pray that You would intervene and make the crooked paths straight. Help us to trust in Your provision and timing, knowing that You see all things and will act justly. Remove any anxiety or impatience from our hearts and replace it with faith in Your goodness. If this check is rightfully due, we ask that You would move in the hearts of those involved to fulfill their obligations without delay. But above all, Lord, let our focus remain on You and Your kingdom, not on earthly treasures. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Provider and Just Judge. Amen.
We also encourage you to take practical steps if needed—such as following up with the appropriate parties in a respectful manner or seeking godly counsel. But let your trust remain in the Lord, not in man. Psalm 118:8 (WEB) says:
*"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in man."*
