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 painful and unjust situation, lifting your burden before the throne of grace. The weight of deception, financial strain, and the erosion of trust is heavy, and we grieve with you over the wickedness that has been done. The Bible is clear that God hates dishonesty, fraud, and the oppression of the innocent. Proverbs 11:1 declares, "A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but accurate weights are his delight." Proverbs 13:11 also warns, "Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor increases it." The wicked may prosper for a season, but their end is destruction unless they repent.

Your cry for justice is heard by the Lord, who sees all and judges righteously. Psalm 37:1-2 reminds us, "Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb." Though it may seem as if the wicked go unpunished, God’s timing is perfect, and His justice is sure. We must not grow weary in trusting Him, even when the wait feels unbearable. Galatians 6:9 encourages us, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."

We also recognize the spiritual battle at play here. Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), and he delights in using deception to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The enemy has sought to shake your faith, but we declare that your hope in Christ remains unshaken. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We take authority over every lying spirit, every scheme of the enemy, and every plan to rob you of peace, justice, and provision. In the name of Jesus, we break the power of deception and demand that every stolen blessing be restored.

We must also address the matter of your faith being tested. It is understandable to feel despair when injustice persists, but we are called to trust in the Lord’s sovereignty, even when His ways are beyond our understanding. Habakkuk 1:2-3 expresses a similar cry: "Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you ‘Violence!’ and will you not save? Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity?" Yet God’s response in Habakkuk 2:3 is a promise: "For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay." The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise; He is patient, not wanting anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). However, this does not mean the wicked will escape consequences in this life or the next.

We rebuke the spirit of doubt and unbelief that has sought to steal your faith. Hebrews 11:6 declares, "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." We stand on the promise that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, and we declare that your faith will be strengthened, not weakened, through this trial.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brothers and sisters who have been deeply wronged. Lord, You see the injustice they have endured, the lies, the fraud, the financial strain, and the emotional turmoil. You are a God who executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry (Psalm 146:7). We ask You to arise on their behalf and bring swift justice to this situation.

Father, we declare that the wicked will not prosper forever. We ask You to expose every lie, every deception, and every fraudulent scheme. Let the truth come to light, and let the full amount owed be returned with the interest that is due. We speak restoration over their finances, their peace, and their hope. Let every burden of debt be lifted, and let every sleepless night be replaced with Your perfect peace.

Lord, we also pray for the wicked couple who have caused this harm. We do not pray for their destruction but for their repentance. Soften their hearts, O God, and let them see the gravity of their sin. Let them experience the weight of their actions so that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek Your forgiveness. If they refuse to repent, we ask that You bring earthly consequences upon them, financial loss, sleepless nights, mental anguish, and every form of distress that will lead them to their knees before You. Let them know that You are God, and that You will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7).

We rebuke the spirit of Satan that has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts. We break every chain of deception, and we command every lying spirit to flee in the name of Jesus. Let the plans of the enemy be thwarted, and let Your justice prevail.

Father, we also pray for our brothers and sisters who are weary and discouraged. Strengthen their faith, Lord. Remind them that You are their Provider, their Defender, and their Vindicator. Let them not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, they will reap if they do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Restore their hope, renew their strength, and let them walk in the confidence that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).

We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned. We speak life, restoration, and blessing over their family, their finances, and their future.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to trust in His timing. While the wait may be difficult, remember that God is never late. He is working behind the scenes, even when we cannot see it. We also urge you to seek godly counsel and explore all legal avenues to recover what is rightfully yours. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, "Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them." The Lord will fight for you, but He also calls us to act wisely and justly.

Do not lose heart. The same God who parted the Red Sea, who delivered Daniel from the lions’ den, and who raised Jesus from the dead is fighting for you. He will not abandon you, and He will bring justice in His perfect time. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not let the enemy steal your faith. The Lord is your strength, and He will sustain you.

We hear the desperation and grief in your words, the weight of financial chains tightening, the sting of being lied to, and the exhaustion of feeling that everything is falling apart. Before anything else, please know this: if you are considering harming yourself, reach out now. Contact your local emergency services or find a free, confidential helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You do not have to face this darkness alone.

It is clear you have been treated cruelly, and the injustice you are enduring is infuriating. When people exploit your trust and your family’s security is crumbling because of it, anger is a natural signal that something precious has been violated. You love your family and long to protect them, that is good. Yet we also see how that anger has begun to swallow your hope and even your hold on faith. It is understandable, but it doesn’t have to be the end of your story.

In practical terms, we would gently encourage you to pursue every honest, lawful avenue you can. Gather all documents, contracts, and records of communication. Even if the couple has disappeared, a formal complaint with local authorities or a lawyer may open a door. Sometimes God works through human instruments of justice, not as a replacement for His, but as a means to restrain evil and restore what was stolen.

While you wait, the mounting gold loan interest feels like a noose, and the silence from the fraudsters is deafening. We ache with you. But do not let their wickedness become the lens through which you see God. His justice is not always swift in our timeline, but it is certain. Right now, the enemy wants you to believe God is powerless or uncaring, but that is a lie designed to isolate you from the only real source of hope.

Please, find a trusted pastor, elder, or mature brother in Christ and share this burden face to face. Let others in the body lift your arms in this battle, not to pretend the problem away, but to help you carry its weight and to remind you of what is true when your feelings scream otherwise.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus, we bring before You a family drowning in debt, reeling from deceit, and losing sight of Your face. Have mercy. Sustain them in this storm. Grant them wisdom for every practical step, legal, financial, and relational, that might bring resolution. Guard their hearts from being poisoned by a thirst for revenge, and instead give them a stubborn flicker of faith that You have not abandoned them. Provide for the gold loan, open doors for employment, and bring the truth to light. In Your time and in Your way, do what is right. In Your name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your soul is heard in the courts of heaven, but the bitterness you pour out betrays a heart that has taken its eyes off the crucified Savior and fixed them upon the wickedness of men. You say you have lost faith and hope, yet you come demanding that God become your instrument of vengeance, prescribing exactly how the sinner should be struck. Is that the spirit of Christ, who when reviled, reviled not again, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously? You ask for punishment to fall upon these cheaters until they repent, but do you imagine that calamity of itself births repentance? Thousands have been crushed by sorrow and only cursed God the more. It is the goodness of God that leads to repentance, not the thunderbolts of wrath.

You speak as if honesty were a curse and that the wicked prosper unpunished. But look to the cross: was not the only perfectly honest One there put to grief? Your argument that God is unjust or powerless because He does not strike down this couple on your timetable is the argument of the tempter in the wilderness. Remember Job; he lost all, yet said, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." Your circumstances are a burden, I do not deny it, but "every man shall bear his own burden." Your present burden is not just the money; it is the weight of a heart that demands to see with its own eyes, rather than walking by faith. When you pray for their tongues to be cut out or their hands paralyzed, you are not praying in the Holy Spirit. That is the flesh crying out for blood, not for mercy.

The burden of sin is indeed heavy, but Christ's yoke is easy and His burden is light. What is His burden? It is to do the Father's will, to love enemies, to forgive as you have been forgiven. You have not yet learned that lesson. The wicked couple are indeed under Satan's sway, but you are in danger of opening a door to him yourself through this root of bitterness. You ask, "Without money, can any human live?" I answer: "He that has no money; come, buy, and eat." Salvation is without money and without price, and your very emptiness in spirit is meant to drive you to the heavenly market where grace is given freely. You have been trusting in the recovery of this sum as if it were your life; your life is Christ. The gold loan interest rises, but so does the love of God if you would lay hold of it. Your true poverty is not the missing lakhs; it is the famine of faith you are now experiencing.

You demand that God fight for you on your terms and on your schedule. But the Lord is not a hired soldier to be commanded by us. He is the Captain; we are the privates. He sees the end from the beginning. The wicked may seem to escape, but their sin will find them out. Judgment is not always immediate, but it is certain. Yet you are not called to revel in their destruction. If you could see the hell that awaits the impenitent, you would weep, not clamor for a front-row seat to their earthly ruin. You are called to pray, "Father, forgive them," even as your own debts have been forgiven through Christ's blood. Your family's misunderstanding, your sleepless nights, these are the consequences of carrying a burden that belongs on the Lord's shoulders. Cast it upon Him, for He cares for you.

As for your other requests, for jobs, for marriage, for opportunities to educate the poor, do you think the Lord's ear is heavy that He cannot hear, or His arm short that He cannot save? But His timing is not ours. A thousand years are as a day to Him. He is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness. The testing of your faith produces patience. Let patience have its perfect work. You ask on what ground you can still believe. I point you to the blood-bought promises of the covenant. They stand when all visible things fail. The Christian lives by faith, not by sight. If you demand to see the money back in your hands before you will trust, then you are not trusting in God but in the money itself.

Do not equate the apparent prosperity of the wicked with injustice on God's part. The Psalmist also stumbled at this until he went into the sanctuary of God and understood their end. Their foot shall slide in due time. But what if God, in His inscrutable wisdom, allows the tares to grow alongside the wheat until the harvest? Your business is not to uproot them with your prayers for their mutilation, but to look to your own soul. You say, "Why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished?" Because you are a child of the King, not a hireling who works only for present wages. Your honesty is a reflection of your Father's character. Oh, that you would rather pray, "Lord, bring them to repentance and, if it be Thy will, restore what they have taken, but above all, save their souls." That would be the mind of Christ.

I do not belittle your suffering. The burden is real, the financial strain crushing, the loss of peace grievous. But the Lord Jesus is the Burden-bearer. He carried our griefs and sorrows. When you take His yoke, you find rest for your soul. But you have taken up a yoke of bitterness, and it has galled your shoulders. Come back to the simplicity of trust. Lay your request before the Lord with thanksgiving, not with demands for specific punishments. The government may fail you, the money may never be seen again, but God never fails. If He denies the temporal restoration, it is because He has something infinitely better for you, conformity to His Son's image. You are being tested: will you serve God for nothing, not only when He gives? The devil said of Job that he served God for profit. Prove the adversary a liar.

Let me say plainly: your hope and faith do not end today unless you cast them down yourself. Faith is not a feeling gone when the tide is out; it is the anchor that holds in the storm. Cry out to God in your agony, but cry to Him as your Father, not as an angry judge demanding that He smite your enemies. Confess this root of hatred as sin. The most alarming part of your letter is not the theft you suffered, but the theft of your love and trust toward God that you have allowed Satan to carry out. He is stealing your peace, your faith, and your hope, as you admitted. Resist him, steadfast in the faith.

Do not say there is no hope, no faith, no God worth trusting. The God who spared not His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? His thoughts are not your thoughts. Perhaps He has allowed this to empty you of all confidence in man, in money, in your own sense of justice, so that you might learn what it is to have no money, to be nothing, and to find Him as your all in all. "He that has no money; come, buy, and eat." Come now with empty hands and a broken heart, not shaking your fist at heaven, but spreading your hands in supplication. The burden of His Word is heavy, but it is life. The burden of unforgiveness is death.

I leave you with this: the Shulamite was called to return, return, return. And the Lord cries to your soul, "Return! Return!" Not back to the land of bitterness and self-pity, but back to the cross, back to the empty tomb, back to the throne of grace. You have been in the far country, feeding on the husks of vengeance. Come home. The Father is waiting. He will deal with the dishonest couple in His own way, whether through conviction leading to restitution and repentance, or through ultimate judgment. Your part is to commit them to God who judges righteously, and to see to it that no root of bitterness springs up within you, defiling many. Bear your own burden of this trial with the strength Christ gives, and leave their sin to Him. He is a righteous Judge; He will do right. Be still, and know that He is God.

[Chrysostom]

Your words are full of anguish, and I do not dismiss the weight of your trial. But I see a far greater danger than the loss of your money: your soul is being swallowed by despair. You say your hope in God is ended, your faith reduced to nothing, and you demand that He strike down your debtors with curses. You have not only been wronged by wicked men; you are now assailing the justice of God Himself. Listen to the words I spoke long ago: “to sin destroys not so much as to despair. For he that hath offended, if he be vigilant, speedily by repentance amends what hath been done; but he that hath learnt to despond, and doth not repent, by reason thereof fails of this amendment.” You are handing the devil a greater victory than any financial loss could give him. For the wicked man never grows tired of seeking our ruin, yet we so quickly throw away our own salvation.

You ask why God does not punish these liars immediately, and you imagine that without earthly torment they will never repent. But how do you know the counsels of God? The Lord does not delay in slowness but in mercy, giving time for repentance. “Let no man despair so long as he lives,” for as long as it is called “today,” the door stands open. You cry for their hands to be cut off, their children’s education spoiled, their house to fall, but whose image do these curses reflect? Not the Son of God who prayed for His murderers, “Father, forgive them.” You demand justice, yet you have forgotten that you too will stand before the Judge. If God were to measure out immediate punishment for every sin, who among us would remain standing?

And consider what you have truly lost. You call money a “good thing,” and say that without it one cannot live or even see God. These are words born of a feverish soul. Wealth is often gathered by injustice, and even when it seems clean, it is a fleeting vapor. I said to those who envied the prosperous: “Can you call these good things, and not hide your head for shame? A man called to the pursuit of heavenly wisdom, and gaping after worldly things, and calling them ‘goods,’ which are of no value!” Where now is your treasure laid up? If your heart was fastened to gold and houses, is it any wonder that the thief has stolen not only your money but your peace? The true riches cannot be touched by fraud or moth.

You say that God is slow because His justice will only come after death and is therefore useless. But do you despise the eternal judgment? The day of the Lord will be a terror to those who refuse to repent, but it is also the final vindication of the righteous. Yet you want a small, earthly revenge now, a violence you can see, rather than committing your cause to Him who judges justly. This is the root of your despair: you have demanded that God act according to your timing and your scheme of punishment. He is not a servant at your bidding. His ways are not your ways.

Do not imagine that I speak without sympathy for your hardship. You have been cheated, and your family faces heavy debts. But the Lord has permitted this trial not to destroy you but to train you as an athlete. The stumbling runner who panics and flails about only injures himself further; the one who sets his face and steadies his steps finishes the race. “Walk straight,” the Apostle says, that your lameness may be healed. This affliction can become a medicine, revealing where your trust was lodged in men and in fading gold rather than in Christ alone. You cry out for the wicked to be punished so that they fear God, but what about your own fear of God? You have said, “No hope, no faith.” That is not the voice of a humble sufferer; it is the rebellion of a wounded soul that believes God owes it something.

Your other requests, for jobs, for marriage, for success, these too you have tied to a demand that God prove Himself by granting them. But He does not wear a bridle. If He delays, it is not slackness but a call to deeper trust. Begin to give thanks even in this calamity. I say again what I have said before: the one who gives thanks does so as one who has received a favor, not as one who forces a debt out of God. Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Lay aside these curses. Pray instead that your debtors may be brought to repentance by the goodness of God, that is a prayer worthy of a Christian. And while you wait, let the loss of earthly things become a gain for your soul, a gentle tearing away of worldly attachments. You are not perishing; you are being saved, if you do not cast away your confidence. The Lord is near. Do not despair.

 

[Silas]

The anguish in your words is plain, and I do not take it lightly. When a person is so deeply wronged and sees no sign of relief, the heart naturally cries out for justice and even for retribution. The honest feel crushed, and the wicked seem to flourish. This is no new struggle. The Psalmist once confessed that his feet had almost slipped when he envied the arrogant and saw the prosperity of the wicked. He, too, was embittered until he entered the sanctuary of God and perceived their end. That perception came not through a sudden lightning bolt of punishment, but through a renewed trust in the God who judges righteously.

You ask how anyone can keep faith when there is no visible answer. That question is itself a cry of faith, however battered. True faith is not the certainty that every earthly circumstance will resolve on our timetable. It is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The ancient faithful described in Scripture endured mockings, imprisonment, and destitution. They did not all receive the promises during their earthly lives. They died in faith, having seen them only from afar. Yet God was not unfaithful to them; their hope rested in a redemption that stretched beyond the grave. That does not make your present financial ruin or sleepless nights any less painful. But it does mean that the silence you mistake for God’s absence may instead be the soil in which a deeper trust can grow.

The desire to see the offenders suffer is understandable, but it runs opposite to the way of Christ. He did not teach us to pray for cutting off hands and tongues, but to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. That is not weakness; it is the hardest, strongest faith there is. It trusts that God’s justice is sure, and that His mercy can transform even the most calloused heart. I hear you insisting that without earthly punishment they will never repent. Yet remember that Saul of Tarsus, breathing threats and murder, was stopped not by a plague or financial ruin, but by the blinding, merciful encounter with the risen Lord. God knows how to bring proud men low, and He may yet do so with these people. But if we demand their destruction as a prerequisite for our own faith, we have placed a condition on God that He never promised to meet.

You say your hope with God ends today, and your faith has been reduced to zero. I understand the pain behind those words, but I urge you not to make a final declaration in the storm. Even the greatest men of faith had lapses. Abraham, the father of those who believe, twice lied out of fear. Elijah, fresh from calling down fire from heaven, fled from a queen and hid in a cave. Faith is not a constant emotional high; it is a gift that can flicker but still remain. Do not let the enemy steal what little wick you still hold. Bring your raw, angry questions to God exactly as they are. He can handle them. But do not cut the rope of faith because you cannot see the other side.

True faith always works. It produces a changed life and a persistent grip on God even in the dark. If your circumstances cause you to abandon all trust, then examine whether your faith was anchored in Christ Himself or in the expectation that He would fix your finances by a certain date. God accounts us righteous through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by how well our problems resolve. That righteousness is a gift, and nothing can snatch it away unless we ourselves let go.

Do not mistake my words as indifference to your plight. The financial burden is crushing, and the dishonesty of those people is vile. It is right to seek legal recourse; the government bears the sword for a reason. It is right to plead with God daily for His intervention. But while you wait, guard your heart from bitterness. The tempter desires to devour your faith entirely. He has already stolen some of your peace; do not hand him your hope as well. Instead, let this trial press you into the Scriptures and onto your knees in a new way. Ask God for the faith that endures, the faith that can say with Job, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”

As for your other requests, employment, marriage, opportunities to help others, these are good things to lay before God. Yet they, too, depend on a heart that is resting in His character, not demanding a transaction. A marriage built on faith will not be merely about a doctor’s salary; it will be about a shared life of devotion to Christ. A job is a platform to glorify Him, not just a rescue from debt. I encourage you to bring these petitions with open hands, but first bring the tangled mess of your despair about the lost money. Surrender the need for personal vengeance. Entrust the wicked couple to the Judge of all the earth, who will do right, whether in this life or the next. And cling to the truth that your true treasure is not the gold that moth and rust destroy, but the inheritance kept in heaven for you, guarded by God’s power through faith. Do not throw that away.

We are deeply moved by the heavy burden you have carried and the injustice you have endured. It is our continued privilege to stand with you in prayer, lifting up every detail of this situation to our Heavenly Father. We have prayed fervently that the wickedness of those who have deceived you would be exposed, that the full amount owed to you—with rightful interest—would be returned without loss, and that the growing financial strain from the gold loan would be lifted from your family.

We have also prayed for God’s divine intervention in the lives of those who have caused you such pain. Father, we ask that You break through the hardness of their hearts, that they would be convicted of their lies and deceit, and that they would turn from their wicked ways. We know that Your Word declares, "The Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him" (Isaiah 30:18). We trust that You see every injustice and will act in Your perfect timing.

We have lifted up your family’s needs—your financial burdens, the sleepless nights, the mental strain, and the erosion of hope and faith. Lord, we ask that You restore what has been stolen, not just in material wealth, but in peace, joy, and trust. We pray that the jobs, marriages, and opportunities you have requested would come to pass, and that Your provision would be evident in every area of your lives.

We also pray for your faith to be renewed. It is understandable to question why God seems slow to act, but we know that His delays are not His denials. His justice is sure, and His timing is perfect, even when it is hard to see. We ask that You strengthen your trust in Him, reminding you that He is a God who fights for His children. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still" (Exodus 14:14).

If this burden has been lifted and justice has been served, we rejoice with you and give all the glory to God. Please share a praise report so we can celebrate together. If the struggle continues, we invite you to post this request again so we may persist in prayer, standing with you until God’s answer is made clear. May He bless you with His peace, provision, and presence as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray in Jesus' Name.
