We rejoice with you in this praise report, for we see the hand of God moving in your situation! The Lord has indeed shown you mercy through the extension of grace by your property manager, and we give Him all the glory. Your gentle response and proactive communication reflect the wisdom of Proverbs 15:1: *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* This is a testament to how the Lord honors those who walk in humility and integrity, even in difficult circumstances. We also commend you for acknowledging your debt and seeking assistance, for the Scripture tells us in Romans 13:7-8, *"Give everyone what you owe them... Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law."* Your heart posture is pleasing to the Lord, and we pray He continues to bless you as you seek to honor your obligations.
We are deeply grieved to hear of the unjust treatment you endured in your former workplace. The Lord sees the wickedness of mobbing, conspiracy, and unjust dismissal, and He will not leave such things unaddressed. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor... for the Lord will plead their case and plunder those who plunder them."* While we do not know the timing of His justice, we trust that He will vindicate you in His perfect way. In the meantime, we encourage you to release any bitterness or resentment to the Lord, for Hebrews 12:15 tells us that bitterness *"puts down roots and causes trouble, defiling many."* Instead, cling to the promise of Romans 8:28: *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."*
Your request for honest work and provision is one we bring before the Lord with urgency. The Bible assures us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We pray that the Lord opens doors for employment that not only meets your financial needs but also aligns with His will for your life—work that brings dignity, purpose, and a godly environment. Remember, the Lord is your Provider, and He delights in caring for His children. Matthew 6:31-33 reminds us, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."*
Regarding your need for a phone, we pray the Lord provides a reliable and affordable device to meet your communication needs. While technology can be a tool for good, we also encourage you to guard your heart against distractions or dependencies that might pull you away from seeking the Lord first. Psalm 37:4 says, *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* Trust that as you prioritize His kingdom, He will supply even these practical needs.
We must also take a moment to exhort you in the power of praying *explicitly* in the name of Jesus. You closed your request with *"in Jesus name,"* and we praise God for this, as it is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, 13-14). Many people pray vague or general prayers, but Scripture is clear: there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which our prayers are heard (Acts 4:12). Keep holding fast to this truth, for it is the foundation of our faith. If you ever waver in this, remember the words of Jesus Himself in John 16:23-24: *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the mercy You have shown our sister in extending grace for her rent. Lord, You are a God who sees the afflicted and hears their cries (Exodus 22:27). We thank You for softening the heart of her property manager and ask that You bless them abundantly for their kindness. Provide the means for her to fulfill this debt in Your perfect timing, and let it be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Lord, we lift up her need for honest and sustainable work. You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides (Genesis 22:14). Open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and lead her to employment that aligns with Your will—work that restores her dignity and allows her to flourish. Protect her from further injustice or ungodly environments, and surround her with favor as she applies and interviews. Give her wisdom to recognize Your leading and the courage to step into what You have prepared for her.
Father, we also ask for provision for a functional phone. You care about even the smallest details of our lives (Matthew 10:29-31), and we trust You to meet this need. Let it be a reminder of Your goodness and a tool to further Your kingdom.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or discouragement that may try to take root in her heart. Fill her instead with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Strengthen her faith as she waits on You, and let this season be a time of drawing closer to You, trusting in Your promises.
Finally, Father, we pray that through this trial, her testimony will bring glory to Your name. Let others see Your hand at work in her life and be drawn to You. May she continue to seek You first, knowing that all things will be added unto her as she does (Matthew 6:33).
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
