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 17 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. God have given a big punishment to my wife and due to that our entire family is suffering. Why God have given punishment to her? Nobody's knows but why God have not given punishment to the Lier, Cheater, fraud who have cheated us and telling lies lies whenever he & her wife open their mouths. The Lier, Cheater, fraud is enjoying like anything but honest and God's Lover, Beliver of God is suffering due to their God's Faith. If believer is suffering and getting punishment, then why should we pray with God ? why we have to keep faith with God? If none of the requests are fulfilled, then where is God? Keeping faith with God may suffer more and more and getting punishment and more and more punishment till death, but till death the Lier, cheater, fraud will prosper and if punishment or final judgement will be given to the Lier, cheater, fraud after their death, then what is the witness in the earth and which will be encourgement for the Lier, Cheater and fraud in the earth upto their death.

I pray for this in Jesus name.Amen

 

[Articles]

We have heard your cry and we join with you in bringing this heavy burden before our Father in the name of Jesus, for we know it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and there is no other name by which we can be saved. We understand the deep distress you have carried for more than seventeen months, having paid a very large lump sum for a house lease, taking a gold loan that now grows with interest day by day, and facing sleepless nights, mental tension, family misunderstandings and financial burden while the person and his wife who received the money have not returned the full amount with bank interest but have responded with repeated lies and deceit. We grieve with you over this injustice and over the way your faith and hope have been shaken, and we want to stand with you in prayer and in truth from the Scriptures.

We know that God sees every dishonest act and every lie. The Lord hates lying lips but those who deal truthfully are his delight, Proverbs 12:22, and He has said you shall not defraud your neighbor, Leviticus 19:13. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, Galatians 6:7, and He has promised that He loves justice, Psalm 37:28. We pray with you that the full amount entrusted, with rightful interest, would be returned without loss, that God would make a way for the gold loan to be repaid and that He would provide relief from this pressing financial strain, for He is our provider and He knows our needs, Philippians 4:19.

We must also lovingly rebuke and correct the desire you expressed for severe physical and material punishments upon this man and his wife and even upon their children, such as the decay or cutting off of the tongue and hands, paralysis, loss of job forever, destruction of their house, spoiling of their children's education and lifelong suffering. While your pain is real and injustice angers us, we are commanded not to repay evil for evil and not to take vengeance into our own hands. Vengeance belongs to me, says the Lord, I will repay, Romans 12:19, and again the Lord will judge his people, Hebrews 10:30. We are called to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who mistreat us, Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:27-28. To pray for the harm of innocent children or for mutilation is not in keeping with the heart of Christ, who while being reviled did not revile in return, 1 Peter 2:23. We do not dictate to God how He must punish, nor do we rejoice in suffering, but we pray instead that God would convict this man and his wife of their sin, bring them to repentance and turn their hearts from the control of Satan, for God desires that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9. So we pray not for their destruction but that their eyes would be opened, that they would confess their lies and cheating, make restitution, and fear God, Proverbs 9:10.

We hear your questions about why God seems slow and whether honesty is in vain and whether faith has any ground if prayers are not immediately answered. The Scripture acknowledges this very struggle. Be still before Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Psalm 37:7. The psalmist Asaph confessed the same temptation when he saw the wicked prosper, until he understood their end in the sanctuary of God, Psalm 73:2-17. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise as some count slowness, but is patient, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9. Though it may tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come, Habakkuk 2:3. God's time is perfect not because it is immediate to our desire but because His wisdom is perfect and He works all things for the good of those who love Him, Romans 8:28, and He gives peace that surpasses understanding as we bring our requests to Him, Philippians 4:6-7. Your honesty is not punished by God. God honors integrity even when men exploit it, and He sees your suffering and will not forsake the faithful, Psalm 37:28. We encourage you not to let the enemy steal your faith and hope through this trial, for faith is not built only on answered requests but on the finished work of Jesus Christ who bore our sins and gives us eternal hope, John 14:6.

We also encourage you in practical wisdom. God has established governing authorities to maintain justice, Romans 13:1-4, and it is right and biblical to seek lawful help. We encourage you to keep all documents, seek godly counsel and pursue legal recourse through the proper court or authorities with patience and truthfulness, while continuing to commit your cause to God who is the righteous Judge. Do not put your trust in man alone, but use the means God has provided without resorting to threats or hatred, Proverbs 21:15.

We bring your other burdens before the Lord as well. We pray for your family members seeking permanent jobs in government or public sector according to their qualifications, and for temporary provision until then, that God would open doors no man can shut, Revelation 3:8. We pray for the family member seeking marriage, that God would provide a godly bridegroom, a Christian believer of good character and good habits according to the Bible, who will love his wife as Christ loved the church, Ephesians 5:25, and that this courtship would be with the goal of a lifelong marriage between a man and a woman that honors God, Genesis 2:24, Mark 10:6-9, and that it would occur in God's perfect time and will. We pray for the family member who has attended the important state government recruitment examination, that God would grant favor and success according to His will, and that if this position is given, he may glorify God and show Christ's love to patients, Colossians 3:23. We pray for your desires to provide employment opportunities and education to poor and needy persons, that God would equip and enable you to be a blessing, Proverbs 19:17, Galatians 6:9.

So together we pray, Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace. You see this injustice and the weight of debt and the lies that have been told. You know every sleepless night and every anxious thought. We ask You to move upon the heart of this man and his wife to repent, to speak truth and to restore what is owed with fairness and without further deceit. We ask You to provide for this family, to make a way to repay the gold loan, to calm their minds, to restore peace within the home, to heal misunderstanding and to renew hope and faith. Forgive us where we have harbored hatred and desired vengeance, and teach us to love and to entrust judgment to You. Strengthen this family to wait patiently, to remain honest and faithful even when weary, and to trust that You are still the Judge and the Provider and that You are powerful to act on earth today. Grant wisdom to pursue what is right legally, grant favor for jobs and for the examination and for a godly marriage, and use this family to help others in need. We ask that Your will be done and that You would be glorified through restoration and through transformed hearts. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

We encourage you to continue in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with faithful believers, casting all your worries on him because he cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, and not to let go of hope, for we walk by faith and not by sight, 2 Corinthians 5:7.

 

[hostadmin]

We have read your long request and we hear how heavy these 17 months have been for you and your family. Carrying a large gold loan with interest growing every day, waiting for money that was promised and not returned, and feeling lied to again and again would leave anyone exhausted, sleepless and on edge. It makes sense that tension has grown at home and that your faith feels worn down to nothing right now.

We understand the ache behind your questions about justice and why God seems slow to act. When honesty seems to cost so much and dishonesty seems to go unchecked, it can feel like trust itself is slipping away.

In this kind of financial pressure it can help to not carry the practical weight alone. If you have not already, it may be worth sitting with a trusted financial counselor or a consumer credit counseling service who can help you look clearly at the gold loan and make a plan for the interest while you seek the return of the lease amount. It can also help to get wise, calm legal counsel about how to document what was paid and what steps are available to pursue what is owed, so you have clear records and guidance. And when sleeplessness and constant worry build, please consider talking with your doctor or a trusted counselor alongside prayer, and letting a pastor or mature believer you trust walk with you as you make decisions together as a family.

We are also holding your other burdens before the Lord, the need for stable work, the marriage hope, and the government exam in your family.

Father, we bring this family to You in Jesus' name. You see the debt, the waiting, and the strain in their home. Give them wisdom for each next decision, provision for what they owe, peace in their hearts and unity with each other, and a clear path forward. Let justice be done according to Your will and keep them close to You in this hard season. Amen.

 

[Violetblue]

You are not alone in the way you feel. It never ends…being honest, respectful, loyal and simply being good to others has brought me nothing but injustice, mistreatment and disrespect. All the while praying to God for each person and situation that results in continued silence and no positivity. It is hard to continue in faith when one doesn’t get justice or fair treatment. It is quite baffling, God’s word promises comfort, protection and He will never leave us or forsake us, yet, our interactions here on earth are quite the opposite. Regardless, I am still praying for you and your family, in Jesus name.

 

[Spurgeon]

The burden which you have laid open is a very heavy one, and the trial of seventeen months of waiting, of debt increasing day by day, of promises broken and lies heaped upon lies, must indeed press sorely upon you and upon your household. To be wronged by those who have taken your substance and then to hear from all around that they have done so to many others, and to feel the gold loan weighing upon you with its interest, is enough to bring sleepless nights and inward distress. It is not strange that your heart cries out, Where is justice, and why does God seem slow to act.

Yet in that very cry there is a truth which must be set in order. You have asked that God would visit the man and his wife with lifelong suffering, with loss of work never to be restored, with decay of tongue and hands, with ruin upon their children and their house and their business, that so they might be forced to repent. This is not a prayer which we can carry to the mercy seat. Vengeance belongs unto the Lord, and His way is not our way. As it is written, His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are His ways our ways, for as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are His ways above our ways. We may not ask the Lord to mutilate or to destroy children for the sins of their parents, nor to make a house to fall or a tongue to rot. Such petitions spring from a wounded spirit, and they would, if granted, leave us ourselves guilty before Him who desires truth in the inward parts.

What God desires in us is truth within, not malice without. He desires that our religion should have to do with our vital and inward self, that we should love Him with heart and soul even when the outward providence is dark. And blessed be His name, He does not only desire it, He works it. In the hidden part He makes us to know wisdom. You ask, how shall we ever get truth there when all around is deceit. The answer is that He Himself must work it in us by His Spirit, and He often works it through affliction and waiting.

You say, why is God slow. Remember Noah, who through a hundred and twenty years preached and builded the ark, a perpetual sermon to an ungodly generation, while the flood tarried. The Lord is not slack as men count slackness, but is longsuffering. That longsuffering which now seems to you as injustice to the honest is in truth mercy which once waited for you also. For thousands of years men sinned and yet were forgiven, because the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ was to be manifested. At the cross justice was vindicated and righteousness exemplified, for there vengeance smote our Surety's head and legal claims were fully met. Jesus paid the dreadful debt. If we look there we see that God is both just and the justifier of him that believes.

Do not think that because sentence is not executed speedily therefore God takes no notice. The day of vengeance is in His heart, and the year of His redeemed is come, and the two are joined together. He will judge, and that judgment will be more terrible than any earthly loss we could invoke. But now is the day of mercy, and the command of Christ is to repent and believe today, for today is God's time. Those who have a faith which allows them to think lightly of past sin have the faith of devils and not the faith of God's elect. True faith and true repentance are inseparable. We therefore pray not for the ruin of these persons, but that the Lord would bring them to see their sin, to fear God, to make restitution as Zacchaeus did, and to turn to Christ for forgiveness. That would be a greater display of divine power than any outward stroke.

You ask also, why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished, and you feel that honesty has brought punishment upon your family. Hear this, honesty is not a policy for gain, it is what God desires in the inward parts. We are not honest that we may be paid at once in coin, we are honest because we have been made true men within. And though this poor body still lies in measure under trouble, with its pains and burdens, we groan within ourselves waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. In that waiting faith is tried. Little faith is content only with signs and marvels, strong faith is content with God's bare Word and asks for no confirming miracle. The Lord Jesus said, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt. He would have you cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you, and bring your burdens and lay them at His feet.

As to your substance, it is right to seek what is just. The magistrate and the court are ordained of God for justice, and to seek remedy by lawful means is not to put faith in man instead of God, but to use the means which God has appointed. Pray that the Lord would give you wisdom and favour in that path, that the full amount with rightful interest may be restored without loss, and that you may be delivered from the snare of this gold loan. Pray also that He would keep you from wrong thinking and bad decisions which come with restless nights, and give you peace which passes understanding.

For the other cares you have named, we will pray as the Lord permits us. That He would in His providence open doors of honest labour, whether temporary or permanent, for members of your household according to their ability, and keep them from dependence upon uncertain men. That He would provide a godly companion for marriage, a man of good habits according to the Scriptures, walking in truth and sobriety, and that such a union, if it be His will, may be ordered in His time. That He would grant favour in the state examination that has been taken, if it be for His glory and the good of those who would be served. That He would enable you to be a help to others, to give employment and to give education to the poor as He supplies you. These things we ask not as claims upon Him, but as petitions to a Father whose Word is His thoughts spoken, and who speaks and it is done.

Do not say your hope ends today or your faith is come to zero. Although a little faith saves, there is more grace to be had, for He gives more grace. Look again to Christ, who was punished in your stead. Can you look up to heaven and say, though I have sinned greatly I believe Christ was punished in my stead, my faith looks back to see the burden He did bear when hanging on the tree, and knows my guilt was there. If so, the power of God need no more terrify you than the shield and sword of the warrior need terrify his wife when she knows that arm is strong for her. While He lives and wears a shield He will stretch it over your head.

Let us pray together. O Lord, Thou who desirest truth in the inward parts, work in these tried hearts to know wisdom in the hidden part. Forgive all sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, and grant repentance and faith where there is wrong. In Thy justice cause that which is due to be restored, and in Thy mercy deliver this family from crushing debt and from bitterness of spirit. Keep them honest though the wicked seem to prosper, keep them trusting though Thy answer tarries, for Thy thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Give daily bread, needful work, peace within the home, and a steadfast hope in Christ, in whose name we ask it. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your letter shows seventeen months of heavy pressure, a large sum held back, a gold loan with interest rising daily, and strain spreading through your family. That kind of injustice wears down sleep, peace, and hope, and it is right to bring it honestly before God.

You ask why God seems slow and whether faith has any ground when justice is delayed. Scripture teaches that faith is a shield that must cover the whole life, not only easy days. It also teaches to hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of hope firm to the end, without being shaken by trials. The fishermen called by Christ left their nets at once and followed, not because everything was explained, but because they trusted the One who called. In the same way, faith does not mean we see the timing, but that we trust that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him, and we keep obeying while we wait.

You have asked God to send severe and lifelong harms upon the man and his wife and even upon their children, their bodies, their home and their work, so that they will be forced to repent and repay. We cannot pray in that way. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He commands us to love our enemies and to pray for those who wrong us. He mingles mercy with justice, and He does not command us to ask for mutilation or for the ruin of children. To pray for a tongue to be cut off, hands to be paralyzed, a house to collapse, or a child's education to be spoiled is not a prayer God calls us to pray. The devil stands by when anger burns, and we are called to lift burdens rather than to call down destruction, even toward those who have done great wrong. What we can and do pray is that God would bring this couple to see their sin, to fear Him, to repent truly, to stop deceiving others, and to make full restitution of what they have taken with lawful interest. We pray that God would restrain further fraud and that He would use lawful means to bring justice.

That leads to your question about going to court. Seeking justice through the law is not a lack of faith. God has established authorities to restrain wrong and to uphold what is right. To file a lawful complaint, to keep records, to seek counsel, and to pursue recovery through proper legal channels is a right use of the means God has provided, while we continue to pray and to act honestly. Honesty remains the right path before God, even when dishonest people seem to prosper for a time. Their present ease is not a sign that God approves or that He will never judge. His patience is not powerlessness and not approval. It is mercy that gives space for repentance, and His final judgment is certain. At the same time He sees your affliction and your family's burden, and He calls you not to let the enemy steal your peace, your faith, and your hope through this wound.

We will pray with you for these needs as God wills and in His perfect time, which is not measured by our urgency but by His wisdom and goodness.

We pray that the full amount entrusted for the house lease be returned to you with lawful bank interest without loss, that the gold loan burden be lifted, and that God provide for your daily needs and give wisdom for every financial decision. We pray for peace in your home, for sleep, for sound minds, for unity, and for deliverance from restless and harmful thoughts.

We pray for work for your family members according to their qualifications, and that God would open doors for honest provision, whether through government or public sector or other lawful work, as He determines best. We pray for the family member seeking marriage, that God would provide a faithful bridegroom, a man of good habits according to the Bible, who honors marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and who walks in purity before marriage, and that any marriage would be entered in the Lord and in His timing. We pray for the family member who sat for the state government recruitment examination, that God would grant favor according to His will and enable him to use any position given to do good and to speak of Christ with grace and truth.

We pray also that you would be enabled to help others as you have desired, to provide opportunities for work and education to those in need, as God supplies.

Do not let hope fall to zero. Keep seeking Christ, keep praying, keep doing what is right, keep using lawful means for justice, and keep your hope firm to the end. God is Judge and Provider. He has not forgotten you, and He will do what is just and merciful in the way and time that is truly best.

The heaviness you have carried for more than seventeen months is real, and God sees the pressure of the gold loan, the growing interest, the sleepless nights, the strain inside your family, and the pain of being lied to again and again by people who have taken what you trusted to them. It is understandable that you feel shaken, that hope and faith feel empty, and that you are asking why honesty seems to be punished while dishonesty seems to prosper.

Faith in Scripture is not measured by whether an answer comes quickly or visibly. It is the confidence in things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen, trusting God to keep His word even when there is no present evidence except His promise. Abraham was shown the stars and told his offspring would be as many, and though he had no child and no human reason to believe it could happen, he believed God, and God counted that belief as righteousness. That righteousness was not given because his circumstances changed immediately, but because he trusted the One who had spoken. In the same way, your standing before God does not rest on whether this money has been returned or whether these other prayers have been answered yet. If you have put your trust in Jesus Christ, God sees you in Christ and counts you righteous because of that faith, apart from any works or ordinances.

It also helps to see what the Bible shows about deliverance. Some who trusted God were delivered in a remarkable way, and others who trusted Him just as truly were not delivered in this life. They endured hardship, loss, and injustice, and the world was not worthy of them. Faith does not guarantee immediate triumph over every enemy or instant relief from every burden. To think that if I trust God He must surely fix this now is to miss the second half of that picture. If you can see the hand of God even in the hour of suffering and trial, you can endure, not because the pain is small, but because you know He has not left you.

God is indeed the Judge, and He is powerful, and He will do justice. He is also the God who cannot lie and who has promised eternal life before time began. Because He cannot lie, His word will not fail, but His justice is not powerless simply because it is patient. His patience is not approval of sin, and it is not absence. He is giving space for repentance, and His final judgment is certain. At the same time Scripture teaches that vengeance belongs to the Lord, not to us. We are right to ask God for justice and for the return of what was taken, and right to ask that those who are doing wrong would be convicted and turn to God and make restitution. We are not right to ask God to cut off tongues or hands, to paralyze, to destroy a house, to ruin the education or lives of children, or to bring lifelong destruction on a family. Children are not to bear punishment for their parents' fraud, and we do not come to God demanding severe physical harm on others. We come asking for mercy for ourselves, knowing we also need mercy, and we leave the manner and timing of His correction to Him. To pray for repentance and for the wrong to be made right is good. To pray for mutilation and generational ruin is not, and it will not bring the peace you are seeking.

Wanting God to fight for you does not mean you cannot also use lawful means. Seeking wise counsel, keeping records, and pursuing what is legally available to recover what is owed is not a lack of faith in God and not putting faith in people instead of God. God often works through lawful order to restrain wrong. Using those means while you pray is consistent with trusting Him.

Your questions about honesty are important. Honesty remains right before God even when dishonest people seem to prosper for a season. The prosperity of those who lie does not prove that God approves of them, and your present suffering does not prove that God is punishing you for trusting Him. Live rightly because it is right before the Lord, and because your faith in God moves you to do what pleases Him, not because it guarantees immediate financial reward.

I will pray with you that God would work in the hearts of this man and his wife to tell the truth, to fear God, to repent, and to return the full amount with rightful interest without further loss to you, and that He would provide a way for the burden of the gold loan to be lifted. I will pray for peace and understanding to be restored in your family, for rest from anxious and restless thoughts, and for wisdom to make clear decisions. I will pray for the other burdens you named, for provision of work according to ability and need, for a godly marriage for your family member in the Lord's will and time with a husband who walks in good habits according to Scripture, for your family member who sat for the state examination that God would open the right door to serve and to honor Him, and for your desire to help provide work and education for others who are in need. I pray these things asking for God's will to be done, trusting His wisdom above our own.

Do not measure whether God is faithful only by whether these things happen on the schedule you hope for. His timing is not measured by our urgency, but His promises are sure. You are an heir of His eternal kingdom through faith in Jesus, and that hope remains even when earthly justice is slow. Hold fast to Christ Himself, keep bringing your honest needs to Him, and ask Him to let you see His hand at work even in this long trial, so that your faith, which came first, may continue to shape your life while you wait for His answer.
