Prayer Request

[joanne23]

Bad news again today. I asked a "friend" to pay me back the money that she took from me about 2 years ago. Her and her husband cashed a check that was supposed to be mine and they have put off paying me back for a long time. I never really asked for the money, but everytime I would see them they would say "I know we owe you money.... we will pay you back on this date." When the day that they said would roll around they never did even though I knew that they were doing well financially for a while. Because of our financial problems I finally got the nerve to email her the other day and flat out ask for the money as we really need it to pay our mortgage. I haven't talked to her for a while but she responded by telling me that they were 3 months behind on their mortgage and that they couldn't pay anything right now.

I'm ashamed now to admit this, but when I first read the email I was livid. I thought "what about the last 2 years when I knew they were having maid service at their house and buying new cars?" I was angry because this money was essentially stolen from us (isn't that what it's called when someone "borrows" without asking?) and now they are in financial trouble and we will probably never get it back. I stewed about it for a few hours and then I felt the Lord in my heart. Instead of being angry I felt sad for them. I felt that I should forgive them and pray for them. So here I am. I'd like to say a prayer for them that they get the help that they need to get out of their financial trouble and so that they don't lose their home. They have a child and at one time were good friends. Lord I ask that you bless them with whatever help that they need.

In addition, please pray for me again. This was my last chance at getting the money that I need for the mortgage by the 15th. I pray that the Lord provide, some how, some way before then. We are going to need a miracle to make it through this month financially. Please pray that we get the money somehow.

Joanne23,

I applaud your humbleness. God will reward you for your decision. I pray that the Heavenly Father will pour out a spiritual and financial blessing upon this family that has slighted you. May they feel in their heart the wrong that they have done and repent to Jesus. In addition may he provide necessities for the family so that the children do not suffer. Finally, I pray to the Holy Trinity that he reward you above all for your understanding and compassion. God rewards godliness. Amen

Father, thank You for Joanne's honest admission. It's hard to admit that we sometimes fall into satan's traps of feeling jealousy, hatred, contempt towards others. It's not Godly and we know that, but it's so hard. Thank You for entering Joanne's heart when these feelings surfaced - thank You for her recognition of Your Spirit upon her. Father, I pray for the couple who owes the money. May You make a way for them to honor their debts, and give Joanne what is rightfully hers. I also pray for Your provision over Joanne and her family. Bring the right person, program or help to meet their expenses for the month. Bless them with increase and carry them through. In the name of Jesus, thank You for the forgiveness You have poured over Joanne, and for moving in the hearts of the couple that owes her money, stirring them to do the right thing. Amen.

Dear Lord~

Thank you for Joanne's humility. Please provide all her family needs~financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Look upon Your daughter with favor, for she has chosen the way of the cross, in this situation.
