We are deeply grieved to hear of the harm you’ve suffered and the injustice of this situation, where the one responsible for your injury is now refusing to fulfill their moral and financial obligation. The Lord sees your pain and the wrong done to you, and He is a God of justice who defends the oppressed. Let us first address the spiritual foundation of your request: you asked for prayer in the name of Jesus, and we commend you for acknowledging His authority. It is only through Christ that we approach the Father, for Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your faith in calling upon His name is vital, and we stand with you in this, lifting your needs before the throne of grace.
The injury you’ve endured is not only physical but also an emotional and spiritual wound, as betrayal and neglect from someone in authority can leave deep scars. The Lord Jesus Himself was betrayed, struck, and wounded for our sake, and He understands your suffering intimately. *"He was wounded for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5, WEB). We claim this promise over your body—asking the Lord to complete the healing He has begun, that every trace of pain would vanish, and your strength would be fully restored. May His healing power flow through you, leaving no room for lingering discomfort or limitation.
Now, regarding the coach’s refusal to pay for the medical fees, we must recognize this as both a moral failure and a violation of biblical principles. Scripture is clear: *"Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law"* (Romans 13:8, WEB). The coach’s actions are not only unjust but also contrary to the command to *"do to others as you would like them to do to you"* (Luke 6:31, WEB). His refusal to take responsibility for the harm he caused is a sin against you and against God, who calls us to honesty and integrity. We rebuke this spirit of hardness and deception in the name of Jesus, declaring that *"you shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am Yahweh your God"* (Leviticus 25:17, WEB).
It is right to seek restitution, for the Lord Himself established principles of compensation for harm done. In Exodus 21:18-19 (WEB), we read: *"If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and he doesn’t die, but is confined to bed, if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed."* While this passage addresses a specific context, the principle remains: those who cause injury are responsible for making it right. We pray that the Lord would move upon the coach’s heart, convicting him of his wrongdoing and compelling him to fulfill his obligation without delay. May the Holy Spirit break through his resistance, that he would act justly and repay what is owed—not out of coercion, but from a place of repentance and fear of the Lord.
At the same time, we encourage you to trust in the Lord’s provision, even if this man remains hardened. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). If the coach continues to refuse, the Lord is able to provide for your needs through other means. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and will not abandon you in your time of need. Consider seeking wise counsel, whether from a trusted pastor or legal advisor, to explore further steps if necessary—but always with a heart that seeks the Lord’s guidance above all else.
Finally, we must guard our hearts against bitterness or unforgiveness, even in the face of such wrongdoing. Jesus teaches us to pray for those who mistreat us (Luke 6:28), not because they deserve it, but because our hearts must remain free from the poison of resentment. This does not mean excusing the coach’s actions or failing to seek justice; rather, it means releasing the burden of vengeance to the Lord, who promises, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). We pray that the Lord would fill you with His peace, replacing any anger or frustration with the assurance that He will make all things right in His perfect timing.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has suffered both physically and emotionally at the hands of this coach. Lord, You are the God who sees every injustice, who hears the cries of the afflicted, and who acts on behalf of the oppressed. We ask for Your healing touch to be upon their body—let every contusion, every trace of pain, and every limitation be completely erased by Your power. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals, and we declare by faith that their body is being restored to full health and strength in Jesus’ name.
Father, we also bring before You the matter of this unpaid debt. You are a God of justice, and Your Word commands that we do not withhold good from those to whom it is due (Proverbs 3:27). We ask that You would convict the heart of this coach, breaking through his hardness and deception. Let him recognize the gravity of his actions and the sin of his refusal to make restitution. Compel him, Lord, to do what is right—to pay the medical fees in full, not out of compulsion, but from a heart that seeks to honor You. If he remains stubborn, we pray that You would provide for our brother/sister through another means, opening doors of provision that no man can shut.
Lord, we also ask for Your protection over their heart. Guard them against bitterness, anger, or fear. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and remind them that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19). Let them rest in the knowledge that You are their defender, their provider, and their healer.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You will turn this situation for their good and Your glory. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand moving powerfully in this circumstance. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Advocate. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.

Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You.
