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 come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation that has brought deep pain, financial strain, and spiritual turmoil. Father, we acknowledge that You see all things, every injustice, every lie, and every act of deceit. We stand on Your Word, which declares in Proverbs 11:1, "A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight." This couple has operated in dishonesty, and we ask that You expose their wickedness and bring restoration to those who have been wronged.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of deception and fraud that has taken root in their lives. Your Word warns in Proverbs 19:5, "A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free." We pray that You would bring conviction to their hearts, leading them to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their sin, we ask that You intervene with earthly consequences, financial loss, sleepless nights, and the weight of their guilt, so that they may come to know Your justice and mercy.

We also lift up the burden of debt and financial pressure that has been placed upon this family. The interest continues to grow, and the strain is overwhelming. Father, we ask that You provide a way out, as You promise in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray for wisdom in handling this situation, whether through legal means, divine intervention, or unexpected provision.

Lord, we understand the frustration and anger that comes from being wronged. Yet we are reminded in Romans 12:19, "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’" We surrender this situation into Your hands, trusting that You will act in Your perfect timing. Strengthen this family’s faith, reminding them that You are a God of justice and restoration.

We also address the spiritual warfare at play here. Satan has used this couple to steal peace, faith, and hope. We declare in the name of Jesus that every scheme of the enemy is exposed and destroyed. We pray for spiritual protection over this family, that they would stand firm in their faith, knowing that "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).

Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in this matter. Bring the full amount owed, with interest, back to this family. Let the wicked be held accountable, and let Your justice prevail. We pray for repentance in the hearts of this couple, that they would turn from their sin and seek Your forgiveness. If they refuse, we trust that You will deal with them according to Your righteous judgment.

Finally, Lord, we pray for healing in this family. The stress and tension have taken a toll, but we know that You are the God who restores. Renew their strength, their hope, and their trust in You. Let them experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

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

If you are in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You are not alone, trained people are ready to help right now.

We hear the overwhelming weight you are carrying. The financial pressure, the feeling of being cheated, the sleepless nights, and the anger that God seems silent, all of it is real and heavy. It is completely understandable that you would feel abandoned and ask the hard questions you’re asking. Many faithful people have cried out just like this in the middle of deep injustice, and God can handle your raw anger and despair. Reaching out here, even with your faith feeling like zero, is still an act of clinging to a thread. We are holding that thread with you.

Right now, the most urgent need is your own safety and the protection of your hope. When everything inside screams that there is no way forward, please don’t carry this alone. A trained listener at a helpline can walk with you through these moments, not as a substitute for prayer, but as part of how God often meets us in the darkest valleys. You are not meant to shoulder this alone.

On a practical level, while we cry out for God’s justice, it’s also wise to explore every lawful avenue available to you. Even when it feels pointless, consulting a lawyer or reporting the fraud may be a step God uses to bring relief. He often works through the systems He has put in place, even when it’s slow and frustrating.

We pray now:

Jesus, you see this family and their crushing burden. Hold them steady when despair closes in. Surround them with people who can help bear this weight. In your mercy, open a door for the money to be restored, or provide unexpected relief from the debt. Quiet the racing thoughts and the lies that whisper all hope is gone. Renew a tiny flicker of trust, even when it feels impossible. We ask for your protection over their minds and lives. Amen.

[Pastor Lawrence]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Oh, how my heart aches to hear such words of despair and anguish from one who has been sorely wronged. The cry of your soul is not hidden from the Lord, nor from one who has walked through deep waters himself. You feel that your faith has dwindled to nothing, that hope is drowned in a sea of injustice, and that God Himself has become slow to act, even powerless. Yet, hear what the Spirit whispers through this trial.

You ask, “How can I believe God?” and “On what ground do I have to put faith in God?” The ground is not the swiftness of His justice, nor the immediate return of your money. The ground is Christ Jesus the Lord, whom you have received. The life of faith consists in holding within us that which Christ has put into us, so that Jesus Christ is formed in us the hope of glory. Faith gives me what I have, keeps what I have. Faith makes it mine, faith keeps it mine, even when everything else seems stolen away. This is the life of faith.

You speak of your faith falling to zero. But the least faith in Jesus is the gift of God, and it is like precious faith. Little faith is real faith. If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you can do wonders. The weakest faith is born from above and belongs to the family of the saved. I shall praise it, not because it is little, but because it is faith. Faith which begins and ends with Jesus is true faith. He who gave you faith at the first must give you more faith, but even that tiny spark is enough to light the darkness. Cry out to Him, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief!”

You demand earthly punishments upon the wicked, listing dreadful ills to befall them. Beloved, does this sound like the voice of the Spirit, or the cry of wounded flesh? The faith that saves is not a faith that allows us to think lightly of our own past sin, nor to nurse a vengeful spirit. True faith sanctifies men. It makes them say, “Lord, thou hast forgiven me my sins; I will sin no more.” Did Rahab continue her old life after faith? No, she did not. And the faith that truly saves will lead you now to lay down this heavy burden of bitterness at the cross. The just shall live by faith, faith as much when cheated as when blessed, faith when the money is gone, faith when the courts delay, faith when Satan steals your peace. This is faith, indeed, and glorifies God!

You ask why God does not fight for you now. He is fighting, but His weapons are not carnal. Upon the shield of our faith we catch the fiery darts of the wicked one. There is no temptation that ever can assail a believer but faith can certainly supply an antidote. The trial has come to prove your faith. Summer weather faith is poor stuff, but a faith which burns on through the long, dark, dreary winter, this is faith, indeed! His delay is not denial. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your just cause as the noonday. Commit your way unto Him; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

You fear that the wicked will never repent without severest punishment. That may be so, but God’s ways of bringing men to repentance are His own. The goodness of God leads us to repentance, yet if men harden themselves, judgment will come, whether in this life or the next. Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. You are not called to write the script of their punishment, but to pray for their souls. That is the sharpest sword. It is no easy thing to pray for those who despitefully use us, but this is the walk of faith: receiving Christ, and then walking in Him. You received Him, not because you were worthy, but by grace. Walk in Him now, forgiving as you have been forgiven.

Do not let this trial drive you to think that honesty is vain. The world may seem to reward the wicked for a season, but their end is destruction. The just shall live by his faith. That is your life. Not by the swift return of money, not by seeing their temporal ruin, but by trusting in the God who sees and who will, in His perfect time, make all things right.

Cast this crushing burden upon Him. He cares for you. And as you wait, let your requests be made known with thanksgiving, not with demands for their blood. Pray for your family’s provision, for the jobs and marriages, all these are proper, and He invites you to ask. But anchor all on this rock: that Christ is all. Without money, a man may live, for man shall not live by bread alone. Without faith, no man can see God. Strive after more faith, for God will bless us in proportion to our faith, it is the rule of His kingdom. According to your faith be it unto you. Oh, believe Him firmly, and doubt no more!

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

The fire of your words reveals a soul scorched by injustice, and I grieve with you over the wrong you have suffered. But I must ask: has this trial brought you to a place where you accuse the Righteous Judge? You cry that God does nothing, yet in your demand for immediate punishment, you have become the very thing you despise, one who seeks to inflict suffering, not to heal. Consider: the wicked do not escape their own punishment. Their conscience already gnaws them, their lies weave a prison around their hearts. Injustice is far more bitter to the one who practices it than to the one who endures it, for the soul of the unrighteous is pale and trembling, self-condemned even when no human eye sees. Would you trade your honest poverty for their secret torment? Do not envy the prosperity of cheats, for their burden is heavy beyond bearing.

You say you have lost faith because God delays. But faith needs a generous and vigorous soul, one that rises above common human reasoning and trusts not in what is seen. The Lord’s yoke is easy and His burden light precisely because He teaches us to leave vengeance to Him. When you clutch this rage and demand eye for eye, you load your own back with a weight that crushes. God’s seeming slowness is not neglect but mercy, He gives space for repentance, and He is silently dropping seeds of self-restraint even in you, if you will receive them. You were cheated of money; do not let the fraud steal your salvation as well.

You insist that without earthly punishment no one repents. But how do you know the hidden work of God? The threat of a future judgment already haunts every man, whether he admits it or not. And what will it profit you if these people suffer all the plagues you list, yet your own heart remains eaten by bitterness? You have become their judge, demanding their tongues be cut and hands withered. Where is mercy? Where is the mind of Christ, who prayed for His murderers? You pray as if God existed to execute your wrath, not to save souls.

As for your other requests, you treat God like a merchant from whom you demand goods in exchange for your fading faith. You say honesty has brought you only ruin. But the Apostle teaches that faith understands the worlds were framed by God’s word, so that what is seen was not made out of visible things. Your hope must rest not on bank interest or government jobs but on the unseen promise that the righteous will never be forsaken. If you seek first the kingdom, all else will be added; if you seek first the money, you will lose both.

Lay down this heavy burden of anger and accusation. Go to your creditor and speak peaceably, not cursing. And if the money never returns, know this: a clear conscience before God is greater wealth than any loan recovered. Do not let the wicked drive you to despair; let their sin drive you to cling more tightly to the mercy you now scorn.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Silas]

I hear the raw anguish in your words, and I will not brush past it with easy phrases. You and your family are crushed under a weight that feels impossible to bear. The betrayal, the multiplying lies, the mounting interest, and the family strain are real and grievous. When you cry out that your hope is ending and faith seems futile, God is not offended by your honesty. The Psalms are filled with such laments, where the righteous ask, “How long, O Lord?” He can handle your desperation.

But notice where your reasoning has taken you. You have concluded that because God has not acted on your timeline, He must be powerless, unjust, or simply not acting at all. You believe the only way the wicked will ever change is if God inflicts severe physical and material destruction on them now. Yet Scripture shows us a deeper reality. A primary work of God in this world is not to make every wrongdoer suffer immediately, but to save sinners through faith in Jesus Christ. The most staggering act of justice and mercy happened at the cross, where the full punishment for sin fell on Jesus. That is where sin was most seriously dealt with. This does not dismiss your suffering, but it reorients our understanding of how God often works.

You ask how you can keep faith when nothing has changed. The nature of genuine faith is that it trusts God precisely when the evidence of our eyes argues against it. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It is not a feeling of certainty that everything will work out by next Tuesday. It is a settled reliance on the character of God revealed in Christ, even while we wait in the dark. The faith that God counts as righteousness is not a faith that never wavers. Abraham, the great example of faith, had severe lapses. He fled to Egypt during a famine. He lied about his wife out of fear. Yet God, in the New Testament, chooses to overlook those failures and celebrates the triumphs of his faith. Your own wavering does not disqualify you from God’s care; it simply drives you back to the foot of the cross where mercy is found.

Your demand is for the punishment of the wicked couple as the only solution. But consider God’s heart. He desires that even fraudulent, lying people would repent and turn to Him. The judgment you rightly know will come after death will be absolute and terrifying, a truth that should sober us. But the purpose of God’s patience now is not weakness; it is so that people might come to repentance. You are correct that severe suffering can sometimes drive a person to God. It can also harden them. The Lord alone knows what will bring about true, saving change in a person’s heart. We are commanded to leave room for His wrath. Your task is not to prescribe a detailed list of curses for their tongue, hands, and children. Your task is to entrust your cause to the Judge of all the earth, who will do right.

The harder challenge is this: the enemy is also trying to steal your soul through this crisis. You said that without money, you cannot live or even see God, and that the only lesson learned is that honesty is a failed policy in Christianity. This is the very lie you must reject by faith. The just shall live by faith, not by a favorable bank balance or by immediate, visible vindication. The faith that saves is a gift from God, a total reliance on the finished work of Jesus. That faith will be tested. The testing of your faith is for your benefit, to show you whether it is authentic. A faith that can only survive when circumstances are easy is a faith that is dead. A living faith continues to cry out, “I believe; help my unbelief,” even when everything is falling apart.

Your faith was never meant to be in a particular outcome of this lease deal. Your faith is in a God who raised Jesus from the dead. Because of that, you are counted righteous, not because you are perfectly faithful or because the wicked are immediately punished. Because you are righteous in Christ, God has not abandoned you. He is not punishing you for honesty. He is walking with you through a severe trial, purifying a faith that is more precious than gold. This does not mean you should sit passively. Taking legal action, as you have considered, is a legitimate use of God’s common grace through governing authorities. Pursue justice through the courts while simultaneously releasing the ultimate verdict to God.

Regarding your other prayer requests for jobs, marriage, and provision, remember that every good gift comes from Him. But the foundation of your relationship with God cannot be the list of things He has not yet done. The foundation is Jesus Christ alone. Can you say, “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, yet I will rejoice in the Lord”? That is the nature of a faith that survives the fire. It is not a blind faith; it sees further than the visible. It sees the empty tomb. It sees a High Priest who sympathizes with our suffering. Place the full weight of your crushing disappointment and your desire for justice back onto Him. Be honest about your rage, but then release the debtors into God’s hands. They will either face His judgment or be broken by His mercy through the gospel, and neither of those is a useless outcome. Do not let their wickedness define your relationship with your Heavenly Father, who has given you the most costly gift in His Son. That is the ground, the only ground, on which to place your faith, and it is a ground that can never be shaken.
