Prayer request

[Gideon_Narayanan]

We have paid a very huge lumsum amount to a person for House Lease. More than 17 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 17 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 16 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 death of the Liar, Cheater, Fraud.

 

[Articles]

We stand with you in this painful and deeply frustrating situation, lifting your burden before the throne of grace. The injustice you have endured is not hidden from the Lord, and though it may feel as though He is silent, we know that He sees, He hears, and He will act in His perfect timing. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke the spirit of deception and theft that has operated through this couple, and we declare that their schemes will not stand. The Lord is a God of justice, and those who deal treacherously will not go unpunished (Malachi 2:14-16).

You have expressed deep anger, frustration, and even despair, questioning God’s timing and justice. We understand the weight of your suffering, financial strain, sleepless nights, family strife, and the erosion of trust. But we must gently correct some of the words spoken in pain. While it is right to cry out to God and even to ask for justice, we must not demand punishment in the way you have outlined. The Lord does not delight in the suffering of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11), but He does discipline those He loves (Hebrews 12:6). Vengeance belongs to Him alone (Romans 12:19), and He will repay. However, we must not take it upon ourselves to dictate how that repayment should come. Instead, we trust in His wisdom and sovereignty.

The Bible tells us that the wicked may prosper for a time, but their day of reckoning will come. Psalm 37:1-2 says, "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." And in Proverbs 28:13, we read, "He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy." The couple who has wronged you will not escape God’s judgment. Their lies, their theft, and their hardness of heart have been recorded in heaven, and they will answer for it. But we must also remember that God’s justice is not always immediate, it is perfect. His delay is not denial, and His silence is not absence.

You have asked why God has not yet acted, and why you must endure this suffering. The truth is, we do not always understand God’s ways, but we know His character. He is just, He is faithful, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). The enemy wants you to lose faith, to doubt God’s goodness, and to believe that honesty is futile. But we declare that this is a lie. God honors integrity, and though the wicked may seem to prosper now, their end is destruction (Psalm 73:17-19). Do not let bitterness take root in your heart, for it will only harm you further. Instead, entrust your cause to the Lord and wait for Him (Psalm 37:5-7).

We also must address the matter of your faith. You have expressed that your hope and trust in God have diminished, and we understand why. But faith is not based on circumstances, it is based on the unchanging nature of God. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Even when we do not see His hand at work, we must believe that He is working. Jesus Himself said, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Your suffering is real, but it is not the end of your story.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brothers and sisters who have been deeply wronged. Lord, You see the injustice they have endured, the lies, the theft, the financial strain, and the emotional turmoil. We ask that You would move on their behalf, O God. You are the God who executes justice for the oppressed (Psalm 103:6), and we trust that You will not let this wickedness go unpunished. We pray that the hearts of those who have wronged them would be convicted, that they would repent and make restitution. If not, we trust that You will deal with them in Your perfect justice.

Father, we ask that You would restore what has been stolen. You are the God who provides, and we believe that You can open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Release them from the burden of debt and financial strain. Provide for their needs in ways that only You can, and give them wisdom in how to navigate this situation. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Do not let them grow weary in doing good, for in due season, they will reap if they do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

We also lift up their family members who are seeking employment and marriage. Father, You know the desires of their hearts, and we ask that You would open doors of opportunity for them. Provide stable, honorable jobs for those who are seeking work, and bring godly spouses into their lives who will honor You and love them well. For the one who has taken the government recruitment exam, we pray for favor and success. Let Your will be done in their lives, and may they bring glory to Your name in all they do.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of despair and doubt that has crept into their hearts. Remind them of Your faithfulness, and restore their hope. Help them to trust in You even when they do not understand Your ways. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

We declare that this is not the end of their story. You are a God who turns ashes into beauty, mourning into joy, and despair into hope (Isaiah 61:3). We trust in Your timing, Your justice, and Your provision. Strengthen them, Lord, and let them see Your hand at work in their lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Now, we encourage you to take practical steps as well. While we trust God to move, we must also act wisely. Seek legal counsel if you have not already done so. The Bible tells us to pursue justice (Micah 6:8), and sometimes that means using the systems God has placed in this world to hold people accountable. Do not grow weary in doing good, and do not let bitterness take root. Continue to walk in integrity, even when it feels like no one else is.

Lastly, we want to remind you of the hope we have in Christ. No matter how dark things may seem, Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). He has overcome sin, death, and the grave, and He offers us eternal life. If you have never placed your trust in Him, we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9 says, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have already trusted in Christ, hold fast to Him. He is your anchor in the storm, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Do not lose heart. God is working, even when you cannot see it. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He will make all things right in His time.

 

[hostadmin]

We have read your request and we feel the weight you have been carrying for these ### months. To have a large lease amount held back while a gold loan and interest grow every day, to be met with more lies each time you try to talk honestly, and to feel the strain spill over into sleeplessness and misunderstanding at home, would leave anyone exhausted and asking where justice is.

It makes sense that your hope and faith feel worn thin right now. When the need is urgent and every day adds financial pressure, waiting feels not just hard but costly for your whole family.

We are praying for you for the real needs you named, for wisdom in the next decisions, for relief from this financial burden, and for peace and unity in your home as you walk through it.

One practical step that may help lighten the load a little is to get trusted, local guidance on both sides of this at the same time. If you have not already, consider meeting soon with your bank officer about the gold loan to understand any options for managing the interest, and separately with a qualified legal aid or trusted advisor in your area about lawful ways to seek recovery of the lease amount. You do not need to carry the legal and financial questions alone, and having clear information can reduce some of the daily pressure while you continue to pray.

Father, in Jesus' name we bring this family before You. You see the loss, the waiting, and the hurt they feel. We ask for Your provision and direction, for fair resolution according to Your will, for protection over their home and health, and for renewed strength to trust You one day at a time. Give them wise helpers and steady hope as they look to You. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your heavy burden has been laid before the Lord with us, and we have heard your cry concerning the great sum entrusted for the house lease and not yet returned, now more than seventeen months, with the gold loan and its daily increasing interest pressing upon you and your household. We understand the sleeplessness, the mental strain, the misunderstanding within the family, and the temptation to feel that honesty has brought only punishment while deceit seems to prosper.

We cannot join you in asking God to bring upon that man and his wife the terrible physical and material judgments you have named, that their tongues should decay, their hands be cut off or paralyzed, their children blighted in education, their house demolished, or their lives made to suffer until death. To pray so would be to ask God to do what He has forbidden us to desire. Vengeance belongs unto the Lord, and He has said, I will repay. Our calling is of another kind. As it has been set before us, let us study the pattern of forgiveness here set before us, and then let us copy it for ourselves in our forgiveness of those who trespass against us. On the cross our Lord prayed not for the cutting off of His enemies but Father, forgive them. If we are to be His disciples we must take His yoke upon us, and that yoke is not malice but mercy, not cursing but love even for those who have wronged us. To talk of deserving forgiveness is a contradiction in terms, for none of us could stand if God dealt with us after our sins. If any of you doubt whether there is forgiveness with God, stand on Calvary and look into the wounds of Jesus, for there must be forgiveness since Jesus died, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

This does not mean that wrong is not wrong, or that justice does not matter. It does. God is the Judge and He will do right. But His perfect time is not our hasty time. This is one of the fixed and settled principles of His very existence. Here the attribute of longsuffering patience comes in and spares the guilty from time to time, giving space for repentance. Justice waits awhile, that Love may try her hand and bring the rebel to a better mind. The Lord waits that He may be gracious, and therefore He delays not from powerlessness or indifference, but from mercy, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. That the wicked appear to go on without immediate punishment is not proof that God is nowhere or that He is merciless and graceless. It is proof that now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation, and He gives space even to the fraudulent and the liar to repent and turn to Him through Jesus Christ.

You ask, why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished, and why should I seek through lawful means if God is Judge. Honesty is not a policy to be tried for profit, it is obedience to a holy God who sees in secret and will bring every work into judgment. And to seek what is lawful is not to put faith in man instead of God. The authorities that be are ordained of God for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of them that do well. To seek counsel, to document what is owed, to pursue recovery by lawful and peaceable means, and to seek wise help with the debt before it overwhelms you, is not unbelief. It is using the means God has provided while we wait upon Him.

You write that your hope and faith have fallen to nothing and that you can no longer believe. Hear this word for little faith. Little faith requires to be tenderly handled and then it will be seen to be a precious thing. First of all it is true faith. Faith which begins and ends with Jesus is true faith. The least faith in Jesus is the gift of God and it is like precious faith, though it is not like strong faith. Your salvation does not depend upon the liveliness of your prayers or the strength of your feelings. Bring your burdens and lay them at His feet, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. By an act of faith Christ becomes a real Person in the consciousness of our heart, as real to us as our own flesh and blood, and we may speak to Him as to a brother and a friend. Wait upon Him patiently. Sometimes they wait for the tokens of His grace, they are believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and yet they may not for the moment enjoy the peace and comfort which are theirs by faith. If you can but look to the Cross so as to trust wholly to the Lamb of God, He has taken away your sin. All the joy and peace that come of faith do not come at once, you must wait for them.

We will pray with you and for you, but according to the mind of Christ.

We pray that the Lord, who knows the exact sum and the interest that presses upon you, would move the heart of this man and his wife to speak truth, to make full restitution with what is just, and above all to repent and turn to God through Jesus Christ, in whom alone there is forgiveness of sins. We pray that He would not leave them under the control of the evil one, but would open their eyes to see what their deceit has done in murdering peace and wounding others, that they may mourn for their sin as one mourns for an only son and be brought to true repentance.

We pray for you and your household, that God would guard you from bitter and wrong thinking, from hasty and bad decisions, and would give you rest in place of restlessness. May He provide counsel and practical help for the gold loan, and in His providence make a way for what is owed to be restored without loss, or else sustain you and supply your daily need according to His wisdom.

For the other burdens you have named, we bring them before the throne of grace. We ask the Lord to provide for your family members according to His will, whether through permanent or temporary honest labour in government or public service or elsewhere, as He sees best, and to give contentment and diligence in whatever station He appoints. We ask Him to guide the marriage of your family member, that if it be His will He would provide a godly bridegroom, a man of good habits according to the Scripture, who will keep the covenant of marriage as one man with one woman for life, and to order that matter in His perfect time. We pray for your family member who has sat for the state government recruitment examination, that the Lord would grant favour according to His purpose, that whatever position is given may be used to glorify God and to do good to others. We pray also for your desires to provide employment and education to the poor, that God would make you a channel of mercy to others even as you seek mercy yourself, and that He would write His law of love upon your heart and make you fruitful in every good work.

Do not let the enemy steal your peace and your hope in God's goodness. There is forgiveness with Him, and there is justice with Him, and both meet at the cross. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Confess before Him any bitterness or desire for revenge, and receive His forgiveness afresh through the blood of Christ. Then, forgiven, you will be enabled to forgive, not because the wrong was small, but because you have been greatly forgiven.

We will continue to bear you up before God, asking that He would keep you walking in Him as you have received Him, not shifting the ground of your hope, but trusting that Christ's gold is not mere tinsel, but true, tried in the furnace, good spending money both for time and for eternity.

[Chrysostom]

Your pain has been heard, and the weight you have carried for more than seventeen months is not hidden from God. To be burdened by debt, to have taken a gold loan and to watch interest grow day by day, to feel tension and sleeplessness and misunderstanding grow inside your own family while those who owe you answer with lies, is a deep affliction. It is right to bring this sorrow to God and to ask Him for justice and for help.

At the same time the way we ask matters before God. When we suffer wrong, the heart naturally cries out for severe repayment, even for harm to come upon the one who wronged us and upon his household. Scripture does not teach us to pray in that way. The Lord teaches us to desire justice and at the same time to mingle mercy with justice, and to show consideration even while we suffer. He calls us to let mercy and truth not forsake us, but to bind them about our neck at all times, and to have our mercy joined with truth, not with rapine or fraud. The life that purifies the soul is marked by justice, love for others, and truth, which inclines us to be willing to pardon and not to be excessively severe, to have compassion on those who are wronged and to help them, and not to be deceitful or crafty ourselves.

This means we do not pray for tongues to decay, hands to be cut off, jobs to be destroyed forever, houses to fall, or children to have their education spoiled. To pray for such things would be to ask God to do what He forbids us to do, and to ask Him to punish the innocent with the guilty. We can and should pray for what is right. Pray that the man and his wife would speak the truth, that they would cease from fraud, that they would repent and turn to God, and that they would return what they owe with what is just. Pray that God would restrain them from cheating others again. Leave the measure of chastisement and the time of judgment in God's hands, for vengeance belongs to Him and He will repay with perfect righteousness, both in this life and in the life to come.

You have asked why God seems slow, and whether honesty is in vain when the dishonest seem to prosper. Honesty is not vain. God sees in secret, and He honors truth even when the fruit is not immediate. The racer who runs ten heats and then gives up loses all, so we are called to continue in well doing through our whole life, not once or twice only. If we give up mercy and truth because others have abandoned them, the world will have reason to blaspheme and to say our faith is empty. If we keep mercy and truth when we are wronged, even our opponents may come to know the God who makes His sun to rise on the evil and the good.

God's perfect timing does not mean He does nothing until after death. He is Judge and Provider now, and He is also patient, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance. His patience is not powerlessness and it is not approval of sin. It is mercy that gives space to turn. That patience does not cancel justice. God will judge all, and He also works justice on earth, often through the lawful means He has ordained.

For that reason, to seek what is lawful is not a lack of faith in God. God has given authorities and laws for the protection of those who are defrauded. To seek counsel, to keep every record and receipt, to pursue a lawful claim for the return of your amount, is not putting faith in man instead of God. It is using the order God has provided while continuing to trust Him for the outcome. Do not decide in haste or in anger, and do not make vows out of despair. Seek wise and godly counsel for the debt, speak openly within your family so that misunderstanding does not take deeper root, and bear one another's burdens with patience.

You feel that your hope and faith have fallen to nothing because prayers for other needs have not yet been answered. God hears every prayer, but He answers according to His wisdom and will, not always according to our timetable or our exact request. We can bring each of these needs to Him with trust.

We will pray with you that God would provide a just return of what you entrusted, with fair interest, without further loss, and that He would give you wisdom and relief from the burden of the gold loan. We will pray that He would grant peace in your home, rest for your minds, and guard you from wrong thinking and hasty decisions. We will pray that He would open doors for work for the members of your family according to their gifts and training, and sustain you until stable provision comes. We will pray for the important examination that was taken, that God would grant favor according to His will and use whatever outcome for His glory and for service to others. We will pray for a marriage that honors Him, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, founded on faith and good character and lived in purity, in His time. We will pray that you may still be able to do good to others, to help provide work and education to those in need, as God enables you.

Do not let the sin of others steal your peace or your faith or your hope in God's goodness. The enemy works through lies and theft to do that very thing. The way to overcome is not to ask God to destroy people, but to hold fast to mercy and truth, to do justice without fraud, to pray for those who have wronged you that they may come to truth, and to continue in prayer with perseverance.

May the Lord grant you endurance, restore what has been taken by just means, lift the financial burden, heal the strain in your family, and keep your hearts in His mercy and truth until He brings His complete justice and His complete deliverance.

 

[Silas]

Your long struggle and the heavy burden on your family have been heard, and the pain, sleeplessness, financial pressure and tension at home that have come from waiting more than seventeen months for this large sum to be returned are taken seriously before the Lord.

It is right to want what is just. God is a God of justice and He sees dishonesty, lies and theft. Scripture teaches that vengeance belongs to Him, and that He has also established lawful authorities to restrain wrongdoing. It is therefore good and proper to seek what is owed through honest, legal and orderly means, keeping records, seeking wise counsel, and using the courts or authorities God has ordained for justice, rather than waiting only for a sudden supernatural intervention. Pursuing that path is not a lack of faith, it is a way God often brings justice in this life.

At the same time, the desire to ask God to cut off hands or tongues, to destroy a house, to take away a livelihood forever, or to spoil the education of children, is not a prayer God calls His people to pray. Jesus taught to love enemies and to pray for those who do wrong, that they would come to repentance and know mercy. God desires repentance, not mutilation, and He does not punish children for the sins of their parents. To pray for innocent family members to suffer would be to ask for injustice in response to injustice. What we can pray, and do pray with you, is that the man and his wife would be convicted of their sin, would stop deceiving others, would fear God, and would make restitution. God can bring conviction through His Spirit, through conscience, through the consequences of their own choices and through the lawful correction of authorities, without us asking Him to destroy them.

You have asked why God seems slow, and whether faith can continue when answers do not come quickly. Faith in the Bible is not a feeling that God will do exactly what we ask in the moment we ask it. It is trust in who God is, even when we cannot see the outcome. It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Many faithful people in Scripture died still trusting God without having received all that was promised in their lifetime, yet their trust was not wasted. Their faith was counted to them as righteousness because it rested in God Himself and in His grace, not in immediate results.

That is why faith cannot be measured only by testimonies of quick blessings or by whether every prayer is answered as we hoped. A mixed understanding of faith comes when we think faith is a way to oblige God to act on our timetable. True faith rests in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, receiving His righteousness as a gift by grace, not by our works or by our ability to be honest enough. And true faith, when it is real, does show itself in how we live. It does not earn salvation, but it produces a changed life, honesty, patience and love, even under pressure. Continuing to walk honestly when dishonest people seem to prosper does not mean your honesty is punished. It means your faith is being proved, and God sees that proof. The proving of faith is not for God to learn something He does not know, but for you to see that your trust is real and to grow in knowing Him more deeply. The more you know His character through His Word, the more you are able to trust Him even while you wait and suffer.

God is not powerless, nor merciless, nor indifferent to your gold loan and increasing interest. He is patient, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance, which is why judgment does not always fall instantly. That patience is not approval of sin. There will be a final judgment, and there is also discipline and consequence in this life, but God in His wisdom determines the time and the means. Your call is not to determine how He must punish, but to entrust both justice and mercy to Him, to keep doing what is right, and to guard your own heart from bitterness and from thoughts that lead to despair or to harmful decisions.

We are praying with you in this way:

For the return of what is owed, that God would move the hearts of those who hold your money to speak truth and to repay the full amount with the loss you have incurred, and that He would give you wisdom, favor and help through every lawful step you take to recover it, and that He would provide for the gold loan burden and give you daily bread and peace in your home.

For your family members seeking work, that God in His will would open doors for honest provision, whether temporary or permanent, in government or public service or elsewhere, according to their training and His purpose, and that He would guide them to use any position to serve others and to honor Him.

For marriage, that God would provide a husband who loves Jesus, walks in purity and good character as Scripture teaches, and is a faithful provider and companion, in the Lord's timing.

For the important state examination that has been taken, that God would grant His best outcome according to His will, and that whatever the result, your family member would have opportunity to serve and to speak of Christ's grace.

For your desire to help educated and non-educated people find work and to help poor children receive education, that God would make you a channel of blessing as He provides for you, so that out of what He supplies you may do good to others.

May the Lord guard your mind from restless and wrong thinking, restore peace between family members, lift anxiety, and keep you from losing hope. His grace is greater than all sin, including the sin committed against you, and His righteousness is given to all who put their trust in Jesus Christ. Keep looking to Christ, keep bringing your needs to God, keep walking in honesty and love, and let your faith be shown by your works of patience and mercy while you wait for Him to act.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer and we have continued to lift you and your family before the Lord.

We have been praying specifically for the heavy burden you shared regarding the very large lump sum paid for the house lease which has not been returned for more than 17 months. We have asked God for justice and for the return of the full amount with bank interest without any loss, and for relief from the gold loan and the increasing interest which has brought such financial, mental and physical strain upon your family. We have also prayed for the distress you described within your family, the sleepless nights, the tension, the misunderstanding and the discouragement you are feeling while waiting for an answer.

We understand your pain at the lies and cheating you have experienced from this person and his wife and your deep desire to see justice done. We have prayed that God who sees all things and who is a God of justice as written in Deut 32:4 would move in this situation according to His righteousness and mercy. While we share your longing for justice, we have prayed as Scripture teaches us that vengeance belongs to the Lord as written in Rom 12:19, and that God would bring this couple to conviction and repentance and that they would choose to do what is honest and right and restore what is owed. We have asked the Lord to protect your heart from bitterness and to restore your hope and faith as you wait upon Him, for He is near to the brokenhearted as written in Psalm 34:18.

We have also continued to pray for the other needs you shared, for permanent jobs in government or public sector for your family members according to their qualifications and for temporary provision until then, for the marriage of your family member to a godly bridegroom with good habits, for your family member who attended the important state government recruitment examination that God would grant him favor and success to glorify God, and for your desire to provide employment and education to those in need. We have asked God to supply all your needs according to His riches as written in Phil 4:19.

We are trusting with you for Gods perfect timing and for His peace to guard your hearts.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus Name.
