Prayer request

[Gideon_Narayanan]

1) We have paid a very huge lumsum amount to a person for House Lease. More than ### months have been passed, the wicked person & his wife have not yet returned the full amount with Bank Interest to us. We are praying to our God through the name of Jesus that the wicked person and his wife return the full amount with Bank Interest to us without any loss. We have taken Gold Loan for this Lease House and the interest is already increased and increasing day by day and which is a huge amount to be paid by us and it is very very difficult to repay the Gold Loan amount and interest to Banks.

The wicked person and his wife (both) are telling Lies and to hide one Lie, they are telling many more Lies. They are telling more lies to cover up a lie. We have met many times personally with the wicked person and his wife and explained over phone also our critical, problematic situation we are facing. Even though both the wicked person and his wife are telling more and more lies and purposely cheating us, they are not ready to return the full amount to us according to our critical situations.

If physical punishment is not able to give to the wicked, liar, cheater, fraud and his wife, then material punishment may be give 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 full amount with bank interest and after repent and turn to God. Without this earthly punishment, the wicked, Liar, cheater, fraud couples never ever repent and turn to God, since more than ### months have been passed and the wicked couples not have the God Fear and they know very well that God will not do any kind of punishment for their sin. Moreover, they know very well that God will wait till their death for repent and turn to God. Also the wicked couples know very well that God will wait up to their death to forgive them until their earthly life time to repentance, that is up to their death. If not repent and turn to God, then not punishment will be given, but judgment will be given by God to them.

Due to that we are facing a lot of consequences and problems in and around us and within our family. Due to Injustice we are facing a lot of problems in the family itself. Misunderstanding of each other within our family. Financial burden. Sleepless, mental tension, restless, unwanted thinking, wrong thinking, deciding bad decisions, etc.

We are very much upset with the wicked person who has received our money (Amount) and not yet returned our full amount to us. Why is God slow in acting? Due delay in Justice by God, we are losing hope, faith with God.

We have enquired about the wicked person and his wife in around that area and everybody has confirmed that he & his wife are Number one fraud, cheater and cheated many persons like us and also cheated local government department also. Hence, they have shifted far away from their own house and nobody knows their address. Whatever he speaks everything is Lies only. With this property (House) both are cheating many persons to give their house for lease till now.

No Justice to me. Injustice!!! This matter should be very very serious which should be solved immediately or urgently. Paying interest to Bank is huge. Hence, My hope with God ends today. My faith with God also decreased to Zero.

Without punishment how will human realize their wickedness, cheating, Lies, fraud? Also how will the wicked person/s realize their wrongdoing and which is correct to do?. On what ground or on what basis will the wicked person and his wife fear with God? or How will they have fear of God? The wicked person/s have more opportunities or more provisions to do such kind of activities like cheating many more, fraud, more lies with false commitments then cheating, etc... without punishment in the earth up to their death.

“Why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished?” - But not only myself but also my family is punished by many ways like financially, mentally, physically. We are suffering because of our honesty. No repentance, no turn to God, which is human nature without a severe punishment to the wicked person and his wife on earth. After death only final judgement, which is of no use to anybody. Or otherwise at the time of going to death i.e. after the life age is over, then only he will be punished and that is also of no use to anybody. Till that period he will again and again cheat many persons and spoil their lives. Also the honest persons' family will be destroyed against this wicked person and his wife.

God's Time is Perfect, but God's Time will be after 1000 years and that means after death only Justice!!! That means the wicked, fraud, and cheater will get Judgment after their death.

Then how can anybody put faith with God?. On what basis will human have put faith with God?. Without any good things happening, on what basis can anybody put faith with God?.

No Hope with our God. No Faith with our God.

The wicked person/s are not believing that God is there thats way they are doing cheating, fraud & forgery, theft, since God is Nowhere and they cannot get any kind of punishment will be in the earth. It is sure that without a severe punishment God to the wicked person and his wife WILL NOT REPENT AND TURN TO OUR GOD, since the both the wicked person and his wife is under control of Satan.

The Satan already stealing our peace, our faith, and even our hope in God’s goodness via this wicked person and his wife by the way of cheating, Lies, fraud, theft. Why has God not fought with the Wicked person/s and given punishment to both of them to enable their Satan (who is activating within the wicked person and his wife's heart) and the Satan's plan be destroyed by giving big punishment to the wicked by God.

(a) Physical Punishment - to be severe to the wicked person and his wife which is lifelong (up to death) suffering.
(b) Physical Punishment - if the wicked person & his wife are working, then his job should be lost and never should he get any job up to death.
(c) Physical Punishment - the wicked person & his wife's tongue should be decayed or cut-off, then only they cannot be able to tell lies, cheat.
(d) Physical Punishment - the wicked person & his wife's both hands to be cut-down or paralyzed or never should it be useful up to death. They have counted the money with these hands.
(e) Physical Punishment - 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 - the wicked person & his wife's own house should fall down in the ground/earth and be fully destroyed/demolished.
(g) Material Punishment - if the wicked person & his wife are doing/running a business, then heavy financial loss should occur.

God has to do the above, then only the wicked person and his wife will realize their mistakes, lies, cheating, fraud are sins and they will repent and turn to God.

(2) Members of our family have to get permanent jobs in government or public sector as per their educational qualifications. Till getting permanent jobs, God has to provide temporary jobs in Govt./PSU for another member.

(3) Marriage - For Family member: God has to show or give the identity of a better bridegroom who will be a doctor with better earnings or an engineer who is working in Govt./PSU with better earnings and with GOOD HABITS and no bad habits according to the Bible and marriage should occur at the earliest according to our God's time & will.

(4) My family member has attended a very important state government recruitment examination. Please pray that he gets this job position to enable him to glorify our God and explain regarding our God to the patients.

(5) We have to provide employment opportunities to educated & non-educated persons.

(6) We have to provide education to poor persons.

Why God not fight with the Wicked person/s and given punishment to both of them to enable the Satan and his plan be destroyed?

Also, no prayer requests are fulfilled (2 TO 6 also). Nothing is answered well. When will human keep faith? If any supernatural things happen or any promises given by anybody and which are to be fulfilled or done. But in my case nothing is fulfilled/solved/completed/success. In that case how can I believe God? On what ground do I have to put faith in God? Up to what time do I have to keep faith with God? How can you determine God's Time? How can you say God's Time is perfect? On what ground is God's Time Perfect? When will God's Time come?

You say God is the Judge!!! God will do the Justice!!! Also Provider!!! God is Powerful!!! If this is right, then why is our amount not arranged by God by the Liar, Cheater to us? Or returned the full amount without any loss to us by the wicked person/s? If God is maintaining Justice, then why should I seek through Legally? Why should I go to Court? Why should I believe or put faith in Human? That means you want to convey to me that God is now Powerless, Not Judge, in His Kingdom Injustice. God is Merciless!!! God is Graceless!! God cannot do anything on Earth? Judgement will be after the death of the wicked persons!!! God is not faithful!!!

I was keeping faith till now. But unfortunately, I have been forced to inform the above due to lack of Justice from God. Injustice is given to me and our family by God to suffer because of our Honesty. Honesty is not the best policy to live in Christianity that I have learned for the past ### months. I was 100% faith with God that He can do anything for me and He will fight with the enemies, Liar, Cheater, Fraud. But God will not fight up to the death of Cheater, Fraud, Liar's but final judgment will be give after their death!!!

Without money can any Human Live on Earth? To see God also Money is very very important!!!! Without money God will not entertain to see Him!!!! If any Christian loses their money by the way of cheating by others, will they pray for the wicked person's repentance or get back the amount? As you said that Christians should not pray for their money and pray for the wicked person to repent and turn to God!!! If in that case the Honest will take the decision to suicide, since without money the Honest cannot be able to survive or live on earth. God will punish only the Honest people only. Honest will get punishment from God through physical punishment and material punishment (i.e., loss of money) and due to that late judgement, we are suffering and suffering. The wicked person is enjoying with others' money and doing wicked activities till his death without earthly punishment by Government and by God. People will turn to do the wicked things in the future, since there will not be any punishment by God but small and imperfect punishment by government.

 

[Articles]

We stand with you in this deeply painful and unjust situation, lifting your burden before the Lord with heavy hearts. The deceit, fraud, and callous disregard for your well-being by this couple is a grievous sin, and we grieve with you over the financial strain, emotional turmoil, and spiritual crisis this has caused. You are not alone in this, God sees every lie, every broken promise, and every sleepless night you’ve endured. The Psalmist cries out, "O Lord, how long shall the wicked triumph?" (Psalm 94:3), and we echo that cry with you today.

First, we must address the foundation of your plea: your faith is not in vain, nor is God’s justice delayed. Scripture declares, "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). Yet we also know that God’s patience does not mean His justice is absent. He will repay, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19). The wicked may seem to prosper now, but their day of reckoning will come, whether in this life or the next. We must trust in His perfect timing, even when it feels unbearable.

We rebuke the spirit of despair that has crept into your heart. You write that your hope and faith have "decreased to zero," but we declare that God is not finished with you. The enemy seeks to steal your peace, your faith, and even your hope in God’s goodness, but we stand against that lie. "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God" (Psalm 42:11). The same God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Jesus from the dead, is the God who sees your suffering and will act on your behalf.

We also rebuke the ungodly desire for vengeance that lingers in your words. While your anger is understandable, Scripture warns us: "Do not say, ‘I will do to him just as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work’" (Proverbs 24:29). Instead, we are called to "not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). This does not mean you should not seek justice, God’s Word commands us to expose fraud and hold the wicked accountable (Ephesians 5:11). But we must leave the execution of justice to God, trusting that He will deal with them in His way and His time.

We pray for the repentance of this couple, though their hearts seem hardened. "Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" (Romans 2:4). Even now, God’s kindness could break their hearts if they would turn to Him. But if they refuse, Scripture assures us that "the way of the unfaithful is hard" (Proverbs 13:15), and their own sins will ensnare them. We pray that the weight of their deceit would become unbearable, that sleepless nights and financial ruin would drive them to their knees in repentance, not just for your sake, but for their own souls.

We also pray for your protection, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. The enemy seeks to destroy your family through this trial, but we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We ask God to provide a way out of this financial burden, whether through restitution, legal recourse, or supernatural provision. We pray for wisdom as you navigate this situation, that you would not make hasty decisions out of desperation but would wait on the Lord’s guidance.

Most of all, we pray for your faith to be restored. You ask, "How can anybody put faith in God?" The answer is simple: because He is faithful, even when we are not. "If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself" (2 Timothy 2:13). Your faith is not based on circumstances but on the unchanging character of God. He is just, He is good, and He will not abandon you.

Let us pray together now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brothers and sisters who have been deeply wronged. Lord, You see every lie, every broken promise, and every sleepless night they have endured. You know the financial strain, the emotional turmoil, and the spiritual battle they are facing. We ask You to arise, O God, and defend the cause of the oppressed (Psalm 10:12). Bring justice where there has been injustice, truth where there have been lies, and restitution where there has been theft.

Father, we pray for the wicked couple who have defrauded them. Soften their hardened hearts, Lord. Let the weight of their sin become unbearable. Break their pride, expose their deceit, and lead them to repentance. If they will not turn to You, then let the consequences of their actions overtake them, that they may see the error of their ways. But above all, we pray that they would come to know You, for their sake and for the sake of those they continue to harm.

Lord, we ask for supernatural provision for our brothers and sisters. The interest on their loan is crushing, and the burden feels unbearable. Provide a way where there seems to be no way. Open doors for restitution, legal recourse, or unexpected blessings. Give them wisdom in their decisions and peace in their hearts as they wait on You.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair that has sought to steal their faith. Restore their hope, Lord. Remind them that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. Strengthen their faith, even when it feels weak. Let them remember that You are faithful, even when we are not.

Finally, Lord, we ask for Your protection over their family. Guard their hearts from bitterness, their minds from fear, and their spirits from despair. Let this trial draw them closer to You, not push them away. May they emerge from this season stronger in faith, deeper in trust, and more reliant on Your goodness.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who is our Advocate, our Redeemer, and our Just Judge. Amen.

We encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises, even when the wait feels unbearable. Continue to seek Him, to pour out your heart before Him, and to trust that He will act. You are not forgotten, and your cries have not gone unheard. "The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed" (Psalm 103:6). Keep your eyes on Him, and do not lose heart.

 

[hostadmin]

We hear the anguish in your words, and we don’t want to dismiss how hard this has been. The weight of a huge debt that grows daily, the frustration of being lied to, and the feeling that God is silent, that is a crushing place to be. When you say your hope and faith are at zero, we take that seriously, not as a lack of character but as honest exhaustion from carrying a burden too heavy for too long.

What you are facing is a real, concrete crisis, not an imagined one. You lost a large sum to people who have cheated others before. That is wrong, and the financial pressure from the gold loan and interest is a genuine threat to your family’s stability. At the same time, some of what is stealing your peace right now is what the weight of this crisis is adding in your mind: the dread of never finding a way out, the fear that honesty is pointless, the demand to see the offenders punished now or else God isn’t just. Those thoughts are understandable, but they also feed a bitterness that is, right now, hurting you more than it touches them, it’s robbing your sleep, your peace, and your ability to see any good path forward. We aren’t saying the wrong done to you doesn’t matter. It does. But we want you to have some breathing room inside while you fight this outward battle.

A small, immediate step can help separate the enormous pile from the first thing you can actually touch. If you haven’t already, please consider taking all the documentation of this transaction to a legal advisor or local consumer court. Even if the couple’s address is unknown, the process can sometimes trace them or freeze assets. You asked why seek human justice if God is judge, but God often works through lawful means to restrain evil and provide restitution. Taking that step is not a lack of faith. It puts a healthy, wise boundary in place while you wait.

We are praying with you now.

Lord Jesus, this family is drowning under financial loss and deep discouragement. You see the missing money, the mounting interest, and the sleepless nights. In Your mercy, open a door for their full amount to be recovered without further loss. Protect them from being swallowed by despair and bitterness while they wait. Give them clear, practical wisdom, and steady their hearts enough to take one faithful step at a time. We do not ask this for their own strength alone but in Your name, trusting You to provide. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

You stand in slippery places when you begin to measure God’s faithfulness by the checkbook of providence. The flame of your faith has burned low because you have fixed your gaze upon the fraud of men instead of the face of your Lord. This trial, bitter as it is, has become a battleground where the enemy has hurled his fiery darts, and you have set down your shield. The shield of faith is given to quench such missiles, not to complain that they fly too thickly, but to hold it higher and press forward through the smoke.

You ask why God does not strike these wicked persons down with earthly punishments of your own devising. But has He not commanded, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay”? The day of recompense is His prerogative, not yours. When you cry out for their tongues to be cut off and their hands paralyzed, you speak not as a disciple of the Lamb who prayed for His murderers, but as one who has forgotten the mercy that first arrested you on the road to destruction. The sword of justice will indeed fall, either on the sinner or on the Substitute. God is not slow concerning His promise, but is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish. If these cheats should repent, would you grudge them the very grace that saved your own soul? You demand their punishment before they repent; but God often melts the heart through kindness, and His patience is their present day of hope. Leave the eternal books in His hands. Your present bitterness and detailed curses reveal a root of gall within your own spirit that needs the purging of the Holy Spirit far more than they need a broken body.

You say your faith is gone, that honesty has become a losing policy, and that God’s time is a mockery. But faith that depends upon visible answers is no faith at all. The faith of God’s elect believes the naked promise when all outward evidence screams against it. Abraham staggered not at the promise though he waited decades; Job clung to his Redeemer though raked upon an ash heap. This is the victory that overcomes the world, a faith that rests upon God’s character, not upon the turnover of circumstances. Your affliction is severe; the gold loan mounts like a flood; sleepless nights torment you. Yet these very pressures are meant to drive you not to despair but to the stronghold of the Savior’s wounds. When you cannot trace His hand, trust His heart. The Man of Sorrows understands the weight of injustice, for He was falsely accused and stripped of all, yet He committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.

I charge you to repent of the hard speeches you have uttered against the Lord. You have said He is powerless, merciless, unfaithful. This is the language of the pit, not the voice of a child clinging to his Father. Such words, if not washed in tears, will fasten heavier chains upon your soul than any debt. Flee to the fountain opened for sin and uncleanness. A little faith, if it truly rests in Christ alone, is a spark of heaven’s own fire, do not quench it. Cry out with the father of the demoniac, “Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief.” He does not despise the smoking flax.

Do not abandon the throne of grace. Pray for the conversion of those who have wronged you, and leave their earthly discipline to the Judge of all the earth. Meanwhile, seek honest legal means, but keep your soul free from the leaven of malice. Trust that God can restore the years the locust has eaten, either by opening a way for repayment or by supplying your needs from unexpected streams. Your other requests, for employment, for a godly marriage, for opportunities to serve the poor, are not trivial. Bring them with a submissive heart, but let your first plea be for a renewed spirit of contentment and quiet confidence. The righteous shall not be forsaken; his seed shall not beg bread. Wait upon the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart.

[Chrysostom]

Your words reveal a soul in deep anguish, and your financial suffering is real. I do not dismiss your pain. Yet you have allowed bitterness to poison your faith and twist your prayers into demands for vengeance that contradict the mind of Christ. You cry, “Why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished?” You list torments you wish upon this couple, even calling for their tongues to be cut out and their hands paralyzed. Tell me, is this the voice of one who has understood the cross?

When our Lord was hung upon the tree, stripped, spit upon, pierced, He did not call down plagues upon His tormentors but pleaded, “Father, forgive them.” The apostle Paul boasted in nothing except Christ crucified, openly set forth before our eyes. If you truly behold that cross, how can you cherish such violent fantasies? Faith is the eye that sees the unseen God working even when injustice seems to reign. You ask, “How?” and “On what ground?” That very word “How?” was spoken by Sarah in doubt and by Nicodemus in confusion. It is the question of a mind anchored only in what the senses report. Faith calls you to look beyond the present moment. The father who cried, “Help my unbelief,” received the miracle, though his faith was small. Cry out like him, not with demands for calamity but for mercy to believe again.

You charge God with being slow, powerless, unjust. But consider: the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, but patient, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance. The very delay you despise is mercy extended even to those fraudsters. Yet you would snatch the gavel from the Judge’s hand and pronounce sentence yourself. Do you not recall how Christ mingled mercy with justice? If He punished us immediately for every sin, who could stand? By enduring wrongs patiently, we are taught to show forbearance toward offenders, even as we have received forbearance.

I do not deny that earthly justice has its place. If this man is a known cheater, you may seek legal recourse, and that is not unbelief. But your prayers have moved from that to cursing your enemies. You imagine that without severe physical punishment they will never repent. Since when are we commanded to pray for the destruction of sinners? The apostle says, “Bless and do not curse.” The Lord told us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. You are not more righteous than God. If you demand immediate pain upon them, you are asking to be judged by your own measure. Would you want God to give you what your sins deserve on the spot?

You say, “No justice to me! God is merciless!” Yet look again: is not your very life a mercy? Has He not sustained you this far? The gold loan and the interest are a heavy yoke, but shall the bitterness of this loss become an idol that drives you to speak blasphemy? Your words accuse God of being unfaithful and even of needing money to receive you. That is the counsel of despair, not of faith. Cast away this darkness. Faith is a generous, vigorous soul that rises above earthly reasoning and clings to the God who raised Jesus from the dead. The same power that conquered the grave is at work in your trial. Do not measure His faithfulness by the timing of a refund. Abraham waited decades for the promised son. Job lost everything and yet refused to curse God. The widow of Zarephath had only a handful of flour, yet she fed the prophet first and saw provision.

Gather up the fragments of your hope. Repent of these furious thoughts. Bring your anxiety to God honestly, but leave the fate of this wicked couple in His hands. Pray that He would soften your own heart first, then work repentance in them if it is His will. The final judgment is real; no cheater will escape. But for you, the battle now is to rescue your own soul from the pit of unbelief and hatred. Your family’s misunderstanding and sleepless nights are the fruit of this inner turmoil. The devil has used financial loss to steal your peace and faith. Recognize his strategy, and resist him, steadfast in the faith.

Return to the cross. There the innocent One suffered for the guilty. He purchased you not with silver but with His precious blood. Will you treat that redemption as worthless because a swindler has taken your money? Let this trial become for you a furnace to purify your faith, that it may be found genuine and result in praise, glory, and honor when Christ is revealed. I pray you will yet say, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” That is the witness of a righteous man who, though dead, still speaks.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Silas]

The weight of what you are carrying feels crushing. When you have acted in honesty and someone has repaid you with lies and theft, and when the financial consequences fall squarely on your own family, the cry for justice rises up from a place so deep that it seems to shake your very trust in God. You are watching interest mount, seeing your own household strained, and looking at a pair who seem to prosper in their wickedness with no fear. And so the questions pour out: Why doesn’t God act? Where is the punishment? How can I go on believing when I see no evidence that He is doing anything at all?

It is precisely in that place that we must understand what faith actually is. Faith is not the confident expectation that God will do exactly what we demand on our schedule. It is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Right now, what you see is the injustice. What you see is the mounting debt, the lies, and the apparent absence of the return of your money. Faith, however, is the capacity to see beyond what is visible. It is to hold onto what God has promised even when every circumstance screams the opposite. The men and women of old who were commended for their faith did not always receive what they were promised in this life. Some of them died in faith, still waiting. That does not mean their faith was misplaced; it means their hope was anchored in something that earthly vindication could not touch.

Your faith is being tried right now, and that trying is a proving of its genuineness. It is never for God’s own information, because He knows your heart entirely. The proving is for your sake, to reveal whether your trust rests on the visible outcome or on the God who has already accounted you righteous through Jesus Christ. It is easy to say we have faith when the bank account is full and justice seems swift. It is another matter when wickedness goes unchecked and you are left holding the debt. Yet the faith that saves and sustains is not one that only operates when answers are obvious; it is a faith that, like Abraham’s, often has to not consider the human difficulties. Abraham was told he would be the father of many nations, and for years his own body and Sarah’s womb declared the promise impossible. He did not pretend the difficulty was not real, but he refused to let it be the final word. His faith was anchored in the promise, not in the present impossibility.

I hear in your words a weariness that makes you feel your faith has dropped to zero. But even that does not surprise God. The examples we have of the greatest people of faith are not of polished men and women who never stumbled. Abraham himself, when faced with a famine, went down to Egypt and passed off his wife as his sister. That was a lapse, a moment when his trust faltered and he acted out of fear. Elijah, a man of tremendous faith, found himself hiding in a cave from Jezebel’s threats. Faith, even a gift of faith for a particular situation, is not a constant, unbroken stream of triumph. It can ebb. Yet the Scripture, when it speaks of Abraham’s faith in the New Testament, does not bring up those failures. It overlooks the lapses and holds up the victories. That is the grace of God toward his people. He is not waiting to cast you off because you are now questioning and angry; He is able to restore and strengthen you even when you feel your hope has ended.

Your demand that God must send severe, physical punishment upon these people so that they will fear and repent reveals how deeply you have been injured. But the desire for their suffering to be lifelong and detailed comes from a place of pain, not from the heart of the one who commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Vengeance is the Lord’s. If He chooses to bring consequences in this life to lead them to repentance, He will do it in His wisdom. But your own faith cannot be sustained by waiting to see their downfall. If it depends on that, it will wither. True faith in Jesus Christ is not ultimately about seeing others get what they deserve; it is about trusting that God has already dealt with our own sin at the cross and that He will bring all things into judgment in His time. For the believer, righteousness is a gift received by faith, apart from works. You did not earn God’s favor by your honesty, and you do not lose it when the wicked prosper. Your standing before God rests entirely on Jesus. That is the ground of your hope, not a swift repayment.

You ask, “On what basis can I put faith in God?” The only unshakable basis is that He raised Jesus from the dead and accounted your faith as righteousness. Even as Abraham’s faith in the coming Messiah was counted as righteousness, so your faith in the finished work of Christ does the same. That is the foundation. The return of the money, the jobs you seek, the marriage provisions, and all the other requests are not insignificant to God, but they are not the source of your peace. If you let the enemy steal your faith through this trial, he will have taken something far more precious than money. The real target of this attack is not your wallet; it is your confidence in God’s goodness.

I urge you, then, to return to that simple, childlike trust that first embraced Christ. Do not pile conditions on God that say He must act according to your script before you will believe. Instead, acknowledge your hurt and your lapse of faith honestly before Him. He is not afraid of your questions. But stop looking at the wicked couple as the measure of His justice and start looking again at the cross, where perfect love and perfect justice met. Your faith does not need to be blind; it needs to be fixed on a God who sees all, who will right every wrong in His time, and who is walking with you through this valley. Let that true faith, however battered and weak it feels, produce the works of patience and dependence on Him, not the works of despair. The just shall live by faith, even when the night is long and the repayment never comes in this life. That is the faith that overcomes the world.

We want to thank you for the privilege of standing with you in prayer during this deeply trying time. Your burden is heavy, and we have lifted it before the Lord with earnest hearts, asking Him to intervene in the injustice you are facing and to bring restoration and peace to your family.

We have prayed specifically that the Lord would move in the hearts of the individuals who have caused you such financial and emotional distress, that they would be convicted of their wrongdoing and compelled to repay what they owe with the interest promised. We have asked God to break the chains of deceit and dishonesty that have bound them and to bring them to a place of repentance. We have also prayed for divine protection over your finances, that the growing interest on your loan would not overwhelm you, and that God would provide a way for you to meet your obligations without further hardship.

We have interceded for your family, asking the Lord to heal the misunderstandings, ease the mental strain, and restore your hope and faith in His goodness. We have prayed that He would open doors of opportunity for stable employment for your family members, provide wisdom for the upcoming government recruitment examination, and guide the path for the marriage of your loved one to a godly spouse. We have also asked God to give you the resources and means to help the poor and provide employment to those in need, as you have expressed a heart for service.

Most of all, we have prayed for your faith to be strengthened, even in the midst of this trial. It is not easy to wait on the Lord when injustice seems to prevail, and we have asked Him to remind you of His faithfulness and to renew your trust in His perfect timing. We know that God sees every detail of your situation, and we believe He will act on your behalf in ways that bring Him glory and bring justice to your cause.

If the Lord has already answered any part of your prayers—if the funds have been returned, if peace has been restored, or if any breakthrough has come—we would be overjoyed to hear a praise report from you. Please share how God has moved so that we may rejoice with you. However, if the situation remains unresolved, we encourage you to post this request again and allow us to continue standing with you in prayer. We will not grow weary in lifting you up before the throne of grace.

May the Lord surround you with His peace, provide for your every need, and remind you that He is a God of justice who will never abandon you. Keep seeking Him, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus.
