Prayer request

[Gideon_Narayanan]

1) We have paid a very huge lumsum amount to a person for House Lease. More than 16 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 caused deep pain, financial strain, and a crisis of faith. The injustice you have endured at the hands of those who have deceived and defrauded you is grievous, and we stand with you in seeking God’s intervention. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:22-23, "Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for the Lord will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them." The Lord sees every act of dishonesty, and He will not let it go unanswered.

First, we must address the weight of your words about losing hope and faith in God. It is understandable to feel this way when justice seems delayed, but we must remember that God’s timing is perfect, even when it does not align with our own. The psalmist cried out in Psalm 13:1-2, "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?" Yet even in his despair, he turned to God. We must do the same. God is not slow in keeping His promises (2 Peter 3:9), and His justice will prevail. Do not let the actions of wicked people cause you to stumble in your faith, for the Lord is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

We also recognize the pain of watching the wicked prosper while the righteous suffer. This is a struggle many believers face, and Scripture does not shy away from this tension. The psalmist Asaph wrestled with this very thing in Psalm 73, saying, "Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and washed my hands in innocence. For all day long I have been plagued and punished every morning." Yet he came to realize that God’s justice is sure, and the wicked will not escape His judgment. "When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you. Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you" (Psalm 73:21-25). Let this truth anchor your heart: God sees your suffering, and He will not abandon you.

We must also rebuke the spirit of bitterness and vengeance that seeks to take root in your heart. Romans 12:19 reminds us, "Dearly beloved, don’t seek revenge yourselves, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’" It is not our place to demand punishment for the wicked, but we can trust that God will deal with them in His perfect way. Instead, we are called to pray for them, as difficult as that may be. Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." This does not mean we condone their actions, but we surrender the desire for vengeance to God and ask Him to bring them to repentance.

We also lift up the financial burden you are carrying. The weight of debt and the fear of losing what you have worked for is overwhelming, but we serve a God who provides. Philippians 4:19 assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that God would open doors for you to meet your obligations and that He would restore what has been stolen from you. We also encourage you to seek wise counsel in handling this situation. Proverbs 15:22 says, "Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established." Consider reaching out to trusted advisors, legal professionals, or financial experts who can help you navigate this difficult season.

Let us also address the spiritual warfare at play here. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he has used this situation to attack your faith, peace, and hope. But we are not ignorant of his schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11). We must stand firm in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and resist the lies of the enemy that seek to convince you that God has abandoned you. The Lord is your defender, and He will fight for you (Exodus 14:14).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts burdened by injustice and pain. We lift up this situation to You, knowing that You see every detail and hear every cry. Lord, we ask for Your justice to prevail in this matter. You are a God who hates deceit and fraud, and we trust that You will not let the wicked go unpunished. We pray for the restoration of what has been stolen, every penny, every ounce of peace, and every moment of rest that has been taken. Father, we ask that You would intervene in the lives of those who have caused this harm. Soften their hearts, Lord, and bring them to repentance. Let them see the error of their ways and turn to You before it is too late.

We also pray for Your provision in this financial burden. You know the weight of this debt, and You are able to supply every need. Open doors for this family, Lord, and provide a way for them to meet their obligations. Give them wisdom in handling this situation and peace in the midst of the storm. Protect their hearts from bitterness and despair, and remind them of Your faithfulness.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and hopelessness that has crept into their hearts. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Restore their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand at work in this situation. Strengthen them to stand firm in the face of injustice and to trust in Your timing.

We also pray for protection over this family. Guard their hearts, minds, and bodies from the attacks of the enemy. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would use this situation for Your glory. Let Your name be exalted in the midst of this trial, and let others see Your faithfulness through the testimony of this family. We trust in You, Lord, and we believe that You will work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).

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

We encourage you to hold fast to your faith, even when it feels impossible. God is not done with your story, and He will not abandon you in this trial. Continue to seek Him, lean on His promises, and trust that He will bring justice in His perfect timing. You are not alone, and we stand with you in prayer.

We hear the exhaustion and the raw pain in your words, 16 months of waiting, lies piling up, a loan growing heavier each day, and a family feeling the strain in every direction. That kind of pressure would make anyone question where God is and whether He sees. We don’t dismiss that.

Before anything else, if you are in immediate danger or thoughts of ending your life are pressing in, please stop and reach your local emergency services right now, or find a free, confidential helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You do not have to face this alone, and trained people are ready to help.

You’ve been carrying a tremendous weight, and it’s clear the anger and desire for justice have taken over your mind, robbing you of sleep, peace, and hope. And yet, that very heaviness shows how deeply you value honesty and fairness, that is not weakness. The truth is, when we hold onto bitterness and a list of punishments we want God to carry out, it’s often our own heart that gets crushed, not those who wronged us. Releasing that demand for immediate, visible retribution doesn’t let the cheaters off the hook; it simply stops letting them consume your every thought.

We also want to gently point out that stewarding this financial crisis practically is not a sign of weak faith. If you haven’t already, consider sitting with a financial counselor or a trusted advisor who can help you sort through the gold loan, negotiate with the bank, or explore any legal remedies. Sometimes God provides through wise counsel and ordinary steps, even when we’d rather He fix it miraculously. The same goes for your peace of mind, talking with a pastor or a counselor about the sleeplessness and constant mental turmoil could lift some of the fog.

Your honesty and your family’s endurance in this trial are not invisible to God. Even when it feels like the wicked prosper, He has not abandoned you. We are praying for you all.

Lord Jesus, this family is drowning in debt, disappointment, and a sense of cosmic injustice. In their desperation they have cried out for punishment, but we ask You to first quiet their hearts and break the chains of anger and hopelessness that bind them. Provide the funds they need in unexpected ways, and give them wisdom for every practical decision. Protect them from despair and restore a flicker of hope that You are still at work, even in the dark. We ask for jobs, for a godly spouse, and for relief from this crushing season, but mostly we ask for Your presence to be tangible tonight. In Your name, Amen.

 

[Kheumor]

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

I hear the sound of a soul in the deep mire where there is no standing. You have poured out your complaint with great bitterness, and I will not answer you with smooth words, for your soul is in peril. You say, "No Hope with our God. No Faith with our God." This is the voice of Despair, and Despair is a high insult to the Most High. It degrades a man below the brute beast, for even a wounded creature will struggle for life. You are sitting in the seat of the scorner, accusing the Judge of all the earth of injustice, and calling the Faithful Promiser a liar. This must not be. The very breath in your lungs is borrowed from the God you are now railing against, and yet His mercy holds you even while you raise your fist.

You demand a catalogue of punishments upon the wicked, a litany of earthly curses, but you speak as one who has set himself in the place of God. Is this the Spirit of Christ, who when He was reviled, reviled not again? I do not stand here to defend those who have cheated you; their sin is black as Hell, and God’s judgment is a dreadful thing. But your heart is also full of a darkness that must be exposed. You say they will not repent without punishment, but what kind of repentance is born of a curse? Godly sorrow works repentance, not the terror of a cut-off tongue. You are so desperate to play the executioner that you are blind to the rottenness growing in your own soul. The Satan has not only stolen your moneys; he has well-nigh stolen your faith, and your mouth is now filled with his own accusations against the Almighty.

You cry, “Why is God slow?” but God’s mill grinds slowly, and it grinds exceeding small. The wicked man is not safe with his stolen goods. The day of the Lord is not yet, but it will come. But consider: what if this terrible trial, this furnace of financial loss, is the very instrument God is using to reveal to you that your faith was resting on a false foundation? You say your hope in God ends today because the money is not returned. Was your faith built upon the gold, or upon the God who holds the gold in His hand? If He is only God when He is your banker, you have mistaken Mammon for the Messiah. This is the love of God to you: to shake down every house built on the sand, even if it crumbles about your ears.

You ask on what ground you should put faith. Put it on the naked Word of God, who justifies the ungodly! Faith does not need a single coin in the purse or a single hair of the wicked harmed to rest itself upon the bleeding body of Jesus Christ. The darkest hour is the time for faith to exercise herself. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him,” said the patriarch. You, in your anguish, say that if God does not pay the debt, He is nothing. This is idolatry. You have made a golden god, and because he has not answered you by fire, you are tearing your robes. The God of the Bible is the God of the empty-handed, the God of the widow’s mite, the God who gave His own Son while we were yet sinners, not a merchant who trades blessings for our perceived holiness.

You do not need a leather purse filled with returned rupees; you need a shield to catch these fiery darts of the wicked one. That shield is faith. You have been using faith as a skulking place for cowards, wanting it to make the battle disappear. True faith is a broad shield meant to bear the blow when all hope of recompense is gone, and to still sing, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” The love of money has so entangled you that you are ready to do violence to your own soul. Despair is a form of suicide, a willful self-destruction that crowns Satan victor over the mercy of Christ. Can you not see that your unrighteous lust for vengeance and your despair are the twin offspring of an offended pride?

The way of deliverance is not by the humiliation of your enemies but by your own humiliation. You must fall flat before the Cross and confess that your demand for immediate justice is a present sin. You must confess the poison of unbelief that has filled your words. You must look to the One who was defrauded of His very life by liars and cheats, and who yet cried, “Father, forgive them.” He did not call down ten thousand legions of angels to cut off the hands of His betrayers; He instead let His own hands be pierced for their salvation, and for yours. You are in no state to pray for vengeance. You are in need of mercy. You are not the righteous judge appointed to manage the machinery of punishment. You are a sinner who needs a fresh sight of the Cross before your feet slip into the pit of unbelief, from which there is no return but by sovereign grace.

[Chrysostom]

You have suffered a great wrong. I do not deny it. The wicked have indeed stolen from you, and their lies multiply like venomous serpents. But listen carefully: the greater theft is not of your money, but of your soul. While you fix your gaze on earthly loss, the devil is stealing your faith, your peace, and your hope. This is his design. When he cannot shake us directly, he uses the weaknesses of others to shake us, just as he used Job’s wife to say, “Curse God and die.” Do not let him succeed. The affliction you endure is a furnace, and the true danger is not the heat but that you would let go of the anchor of faith.

Your prayer has become a list of curses, a demand for earthly vengeance. You call down physical and material calamities upon these frauds, thinking that by their ruin God will be glorified and they will repent. But where is love in such a prayer? The apostle says that if we have faith to move mountains but have not love, we are nothing. You have imagined punishments that spring from a wounded heart, not from a heart conformed to Christ. Did our Master teach us to pray for the cutting off of tongues and hands? No. He taught us to pray for those who persecute us, to bless and not curse. The wicked husband and wife are slaves of Satan; their true need is not the loss of their house or the decay of their tongue, but deliverance from the evil one. Your prayer should be for their repentance, not for their destruction, lest you become like them in the bitterness of your spirit.

You ask why God delays, why He does not fight for you and shatter the wicked where they stand. You have forgotten that His ways are not our ways. He bears long with sinners, giving them space for repentance, because He desires not the death of the wicked but that they turn and live. You say that judgment after death is of no use, but I tell you, that is the only judgment that truly matters. Here we are in the shadow; there we will stand before the light. Did not the saints of old take joyfully the plundering of their property, knowing that they had a better possession in heaven? They saw the invisible God as visible, and that sight made earthly loss light. You have fixed your eyes so intently on the gold loan and the bank interest that you have lost sight of the treasure that cannot be stolen. This is why your hope fails.

You cry out that honesty has brought you only suffering, while the wicked prosper. You ask, “Why should I be honest if there is no punishment?” This is the voice of the tempter. He whispers that God is indifferent and that faith is vain. But consider Abraham: he believed God’s promise, and it was counted to him as righteousness. He glorified God by being fully persuaded that what God had promised He was able to perform, even when every visible circumstance mocked that promise. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. If you demand to see punishment and justice on your timeline before you will believe, then you have no faith at all. You have only a contract with God that He has not signed.

The Lord is not powerless. The same God who shakes the heavens at the last day could in a moment bring these liars to their knees. But His power is most perfectly displayed in the patience and endurance of His saints. The rock is not moved by the waves, the tower is not shaken by the storm. That is what He seeks to build in you, but you are crumbling at the first assault. You say your faith has decreased to zero, that you have no hope. This is the very wound the devil aimed to inflict. He cares nothing for the money; he wants your soul. Do not give it to him.

Take your case to the proper authorities if there is legal recourse. There is no sin in seeking justice through lawful means. But do not let your heart become a courtroom of vengeance. And as for your family’s needs, the jobs, the marriage, the other requests, do not make them a condition of your trust. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added. But if you demand them as proof of His faithfulness, you put God to the test, and you will find only darkness.

The wicked will indeed face judgment. That day will come, when the sun is darkened and the powers are shaken, and every wrong will be made right. Until then, stand firm. Call to mind the former days when you believed. The just shall live by faith, and if he draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. Do not let the liar and cheat drag you down to their level of unbelief. Repent of these bitter prayers, and ask the Lord to restore to you the joy of His salvation, that even in this loss you may glorify Him, as Abraham did, by hoping against hope.

 

[Silas]

I hear the agony in your words. It is the raw cry of a soul pushed to the brink, wrestling with what feels like a divine silence in the face of profound wrong. You are staring at a mountain of debt, daily interest, and the infuriating reality of being cheated by people who seem to prosper in their lies. And when you look to heaven, it feels as if God is simply watching, perhaps even indifferent. The question that screams loudest is, “Does God pervert justice?” It is an ancient cry, one that has echoed from the heart of every sufferer since the garden.

Let me be as direct with you. The thought that God is powerless or that He blesses dishonesty is a lie, and it’s not a new one. The enemy has been whispering that God is not fair since the very beginning. He wants you to believe that your honesty is a curse and that your faith is pointless. He is trying to steal your peace and your hope along with your money. But the truth, the bedrock that has held believers through fires far hotter than this, is that God does not pervert justice. He is absolutely, perfectly just, and He is also merciful. This is a tension our finite minds cannot easily hold, especially when we are the victims.

You are begging for visible, immediate punishment. You want their hands paralyzed, their house demolished, their peace stolen. You are calling out for a justice that is commensurate with their crime, and that desire for things to be made right is not wrong in itself. But look at what you are doing: you have become so desperate that you are trying to dictate the terms of divine judgment. The honest plea in your heart is for God to act, but the clamor for specific, severe earthly curses is a burden too heavy for you to carry. We are not called to design the punishment; we are called to fall before the Judge. That was Job’s ultimate conclusion. Even if he were righteous, he would not argue his case but would simply make his plea for mercy before God. Your best plea is not a list of tortures you have devised, but a cry for Him to see your affliction and to act according to His perfect will.

Your faith feels like it has hit zero because you have tied it to a specific timeline and a specific form of retaliation. You ask, “On what ground can I put my faith in God?” The ground is not your answered prayer list; it is the character of God revealed on a cross. There, perfect justice and perfect mercy met in a way that defies human logic. Justice demanded a penalty; mercy provided a sinless sacrifice. That is the ultimate act of a God who does not forget the oppressed. He hears the cry of the afflicted. When you fear He is slow, it may be that He is calling you to a desperation that is not just about money, but about Him. The most pivotal moments in a believer's life are often not when the check arrives, but when we become so desperate that we rend our hearts, not just our garments, and cry out to Him with our whole being, regardless of the outcome. That kind of desperation brings deliverance, even if it doesn’t look exactly as we demand.

Now, about the fraudsters. God does not need your prescribed punishment to reach them. His goal is not just to break their hands but to break their hearts for repentance, something no earthly punishment can guarantee. But their judgment, whatever form it takes and whenever it falls, is firmly in His hands. Your part is not to pray down curses but to cry out for deliverance and to seek practical justice. The legal system, as flawed as it is, is one of God’s appointed means for this very reason: “Deliver the poor and needy; rid them out of the hand of the wicked.” It is not a lack of faith to pursue this. It is wisdom.

I must also address the subtle but destructive error in your thinking. You have begun to believe that money is the door to God’s favor, that without it you cannot even live, or that God only entertains the wealthy. This is a terrible inversion of the truth. Beware of any image of God that paints Him as a desperate deity needing your financial rescue, or as one who only blesses the prosperous. That is not the God of Scripture. The churches of Macedonia were deep in poverty, yet they overflowed in a wealth of generosity. God’s sufficiency is most vivid where human resources end.

Your other requests for jobs, marriage, and ministry are not ignored. But they must be held in an open hand. The desperation over the debt has cast a long shadow, making it seem that nothing is happening. Let this crisis reorder your prayers. Cry out, “Revive us again! Deliver us from this pit!” rather than, “Destroy them in this specific way.” God is not slow in keeping His promise. He will be the Judge over all the earth. You are called to trust that He knows exactly how to handle the wicked, and exactly how to be a Father to you in your desperation. This financial trap is not His final word for your life, and your faith does not rest on a refund. It rests on the righteous Judge who gave Himself for you. Bring your pain and your honest questions to Him, but leave the vengeance there. That is a burden only He can carry without it crushing His own soul.
