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 received an offer of appointment in a national importance / reputed government institution. Please pray that he has to join without any problem, hinderance, hurdles, obstacles this new job position to enable him to glorify our God and explain regarding our God to the patients. And also to relieve from the hospital / institution without any problem with anybody or any departments and without any loss of salary / amount, any loss of leave and any loss of monetary benefits and get relieve from service at the earliest and without any problems, obstacles from the working / existing hospital.

(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.

 

[Articles]

We hear your deep distress and we join you in bringing this heavy burden before the Lord together in Jesus' name. We understand the pain of having paid a very large sum for a house lease and waiting more than seventeen months without the return of your money with bank interest, while you are carrying the weight of a gold loan whose interest grows daily. We understand how this injustice has brought sleepless nights, mental tension, restlessness, misunderstanding within the family, and financial burden, and how your faith and hope have been shaken as you cry out why God seems slow to act.

We want to gently and lovingly correct some things in your prayer that do not align with God's Word, even as we fully agree that what was done to you is wrong and that God hates lying, cheating and fraud. The Lord says A false witness who utters lies is an abomination to him and that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord Proverbs 12:22, Proverbs 6:16-19. The wicked borrows, and doesn't pay back Psalm 37:21, and God sees this. Yet Scripture also teaches us Don't repay evil for evil Romans 12:17 and Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21. Vengeance belongs to God alone, as it is written Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19, and we are commanded 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 Matthew 5:44.

We cannot join you in asking God to cut off tongues, to paralyze hands, to destroy a house, to spoil the education of children, or to cause lifelong sickness and ruin upon this couple and their family. The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father Ezekiel 18:20, and the Lord has said As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live Ezekiel 33:11. To pray for mutilation or for innocent children to suffer is not the heart of Christ, and we must rebuke that desire even while we share your longing for justice. What we can and do pray for is that God would bring true conviction, that He would stop their ability to deceive others, that He would execute righteous justice in His perfect way, and above all that they would repent and turn to God and make restitution. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wanting that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9.

You have asked why God delays and whether His timing is perfect. We understand that question from a place of suffering. Scripture says Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil Ecclesiastes 8:11. That is why the wicked may seem to prosper for a time. It also says For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come Habakkuk 2:3, and Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him Psalm 37:7. Your faith being shaken does not mean God has abandoned you. We live by faith, not by sight 2 Corinthians 5:7, and the testing of your faith produces endurance James 1:3. God has not forgotten you and His mercies are new every morning Lamentations 3:22-23.

You also ask why you should go to court if God is Judge and Provider. God is indeed the righteous Judge Psalm 75:7 and our Provider who will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, yet He has also established earthly authorities for justice. The ruler is a servant of God to you for good, but if you do wrong, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain, for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil Romans 13:4. Seeking a lawful remedy, filing a proper complaint, and pursuing what is legally due to you is not a lack of faith, it is using the means God has provided while trusting Him for the outcome. We encourage you to seek wise and godly legal counsel and to keep careful records, while continuing to commit your cause to the Lord.

We thank you that you are praying through the name of Jesus, for there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12, and Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do John 14:13. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father.

We now pray together with you.

Father, in the name of Jesus we lift this family to You. You see the large amount entrusted for the lease, You see the gold loan and the mounting bank interest that weighs so heavily, You see every lie and every act of dishonesty by this man and his wife. Lord, we ask for Your righteous justice to be done. We pray that You would move upon the hearts of this couple to be convicted of their sin, to fear You, to repent, and to return the full amount with rightful interest without further delay and without loss to this family. Where they have deceived many and evaded accountability, we pray You would close the doors to further fraud and expose what is hidden, for there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed Luke 8:17. We ask that You would protect this family from further harm, provide wisdom for every legal and practical step, and make a way where there seems to be no way.

Lord, we cast all our anxiety on You because You care for us 1 Peter 5:7. We ask You to calm their sleepless nights and anxious thoughts and give peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Heal the misunderstandings within the family and give unity, patience and clear counsel so that no bad decisions are made in haste.

Father, we pray for the employment needs. You know the desire for permanent jobs in government or public sector according to qualifications, and for temporary provision until then. We ask You to open doors that no man can shut and to give favor. For the family member who has received an offer of appointment in a reputed government institution of national importance, we pray that You would remove every hindrance, hurdle and obstacle, that his relieving from his present hospital would be smooth without loss of salary, leave or monetary benefits, and that he may join the new position in peace to serve patients and to glorify You.

We pray also for the desire to provide employment opportunities to educated and non-educated persons and to provide education to the poor. Lord, establish the work of their hands Psalm 90:17 and use them as a blessing to others.

For the marriage request, we pray according to Your will that You would lead this family member to a godly spouse, a Christian believer who walks in good habits and not in bad habits, whether a doctor or an engineer in government or public service as You provide, but above all a man who loves You, who will honor the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman as You ordained Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, and that the marriage would occur in Your perfect time. We pray that this courtship would be pure, honoring You, fleeing from fornication 1 Corinthians 6:18 and seeking first Your Kingdom Matthew 6:33.

Lord, restore hope and faith where it has grown to zero. Help this family to wait on You and to trust that You are working even when we cannot see. Help them to overcome evil with good and to leave vengeance in Your hands while diligently doing what is right and honest in Your sight Romans 12:17. Provide supernaturally for the gold loan burden and keep them from being crushed by debt, for You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1.

We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and Advocate, amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We have read your request and we hear how heavy these seventeen months have been. Waiting for a large lease amount to be returned while gold loan interest grows daily would strain anyone, and we hear how it has brought sleepless nights, tension at home, and honest questions about where God is in this.

It makes sense that your faith feels shaken when honest effort has led to more hardship and when those who owe you seem to avoid responsibility. Feeling that way does not mean you have failed, it often comes when pressure lasts so long without resolution.

While we continue to pray for a just return of what is owed without further loss, we also want to encourage a couple of steady, practical steps alongside prayer. Because the debt is increasing, it can help to sit down soon with a trusted financial counselor or your bank advisor to review the gold loan and explore options to slow the interest burden, and to seek wise legal counsel about the lease agreement and what documented steps are available to pursue repayment. In many places consumer credit counseling services can help create a clear repayment plan and bring some hope that there is a path forward. Keeping careful records of payments, agreements and conversations will also help any advisor understand your situation quickly.

We are praying for you and your family.

Father, in Jesus name we bring this family before You. You see the financial weight and the discouragement they feel. Please provide wisdom for each next decision, make a way for what is owed to be returned, ease the burden of debt, and bring peace and unity at home. Restore hope as You draw near to them. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your long affliction and heavy burden have been laid before the Lord, and He has heard the cry of your heart in these seventeen months of waiting, of loss, and of sore trial. The weight of a gold loan with daily increasing interest, the deceit of those who have taken your substance and covered one lie with many lies, and the strife and sleeplessness that has entered your household, these are not hidden from Him who sees all things and who will by no means clear the guilty.

You ask why God seems slow to act, and whether faith can stand when justice tarries. The Scripture answers that the Lord waiteth that He may be gracious, and blessed are all they that wait for Him. With some of us the Lord must have lifted up the axe, yet His mercy has stayed His justice for mercy's sake. His waiting is not powerlessness nor forgetfulness, nor is it injustice in His kingdom. He is both Judge and Saviour, and His justice was vindicated most fully not by immediate stroke upon the sinner, but at the Cross where Christ finished the endurance and paid the debt that none could reckon. There is more of the vindication of justice on the Cross than can be seen at any one time, or at any one point, in the lowest depths of hell. Because Christ has borne the punishment for all who flee to Him, God can be just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus. For those who refuse Him, there remains a fearful looking for of judgment and of fiery indignation, and that judgment will be proved in the sinner's own soul to be the legitimate reward of sin.

It is right to ask God for justice and for the return of what has been taken. The power of God need not terrify you who have fled to Christ for refuge, but it is a just terror to those who make a trade of fraud. Yet we must not ask the Lord to become our avenger after our own pattern. Vengeance belongeth unto the Lord, and He has ordained lawful means for restraining evil in this present world. You ask for lifelong suffering, loss of employment, decay of tongue and hands, and ruin upon children and household. To pray thus is to ask for a curse which the Lord has not given us leave to pronounce. We may pray that God would convict, restrain, and bring to repentance those who have done wrong, that He would stop their hand from cheating others, that He would trouble their conscience till they restore what is due, and that if they will not repent, He will deal with them according to His perfect righteousness. We cannot pray for mutilation or for the destruction of children, for the soul that sinneth, it shall die, and children shall not be punished for the fraud of their parents except they walk in the same path.

What then shall we pray with you, and how shall we counsel you in the Lord.

For the sum entrusted for the house lease, we will pray that the Lord, who is Provider, would move the hearts of those who owe you to make full restitution with what is just, and that He would give you wisdom to use every lawful and peaceful means appointed by God for justice. The magistrate beareth not the sword in vain, and to seek the help of the law and of the courts is not unbelief but obedience to the ordinance of God for the protection of the honest. Keep diligent record, seek godly counsel and lawful help, and commit the outcome to Him who judgeth righteously.

For your faith, which you say has fallen to nothing, hear this word for little faith. Little faith is still true faith when it begins and ends with Jesus. It is like precious faith though it be not like strong faith. You have said, on what ground shall I put faith in God when nothing is answered. Faith does not live by sight of immediate deliverance, but by the Word and character of God. His promises are not tinsel but true gold tried in the furnace, good spending money both for time and for eternity. To believe some promises and doubt others is to accuse the Lord of unfaithfulness and to cut away the foundation of what little faith you have. Hold fast to Christ Himself, who is your hope, your love, your joy, your life, and let your faith be a speaking faith that first speaks to Christ and then speaks for Him even in trial.

For your household, we will pray that God would grant peace where there is misunderstanding, rest where there is sleeplessness and restless thought, and wisdom where you fear wrong decisions. Take upon you the yoke of Christ, which is easy, and learn of Him who bore the heaviest burden for love of us. When He comes as Comforter and Strengthener, the yoke is made easy and the burden light, especially when faith and hope shed their benign influence over the heart.

For employment, we will pray that the Lord would open doors for permanent and honest labour according to each one's qualification, and supply daily bread till such provision comes. For the family member who has received an appointment in a reputed government institution, we will pray that the Lord would remove hindrance and grant a clean and honourable release from the present hospital without loss of what is justly due, that he may serve and glorify God before patients and colleagues. For your desire to provide work for educated and non educated persons and education for the poor, we will pray that God would make you a channel of blessing as He enables you.

For marriage, we will pray as you have asked, that the Lord would provide a godly bridegroom, a man of good habits and no bad habits according to the Bible, whether a doctor or an engineer or whatever calling God appoints, who walks in honesty and fears the Lord, for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, ordained by God and to be entered in purity and faith. We will pray that this be accomplished in the Lord's time and will, not in haste nor by compromise.

Honesty remains the best policy because it is the Lord's policy, even when the dishonest seem to prosper for a season. The goodness and the justice of God both demand that sin be dealt with, and they will be, either in Christ for those who repent and believe, or upon the sinner himself. Today is God's time to command faith and repentance. So long as a man continues in unbelief he continues in sin, therefore the gospel demands faith now.

Let us pray together. O Lord our God, Thou art merciful and mighty and just. Thou knowest the sum that has been withheld, the burden of debt, and the sorrow in this family. We ask Thee to show Thyself the Judge who doeth right, to restrain the deceiver and to bring conviction of sin, that what is owed may be restored and no further persons be cheated. Forgive us where we have desired vengeance after our own heart, and teach us to leave vengeance in Thy hands while we seek what is lawful and right. Strengthen little faith, increase hope, grant peace in the home, provide for daily needs, establish honest work, guide in marriage according to Thy Word, and make this family to be a witness of Thy grace. We ask not because we are worthy, but through the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all them that believe, for all have sinned and come short of Thy glory. Have mercy upon us and upon those who have wronged us, and bring all to repentance and to the knowledge of Thy Son, in whose name we pray. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your pain and heavy burden have been heard, and we grieve with you over the injustice you and your family have suffered for these ### months. To carry a large gold loan with interest increasing day by day, to face sleepless nights and tension within the family, to be met with lies after you have pleaded honestly and repeatedly, is a great trial. God sees this. He is not indifferent to dishonesty, cheating, or the oppression of those who use falsehood to take what belongs to another.

We understand the cry of your heart for justice, and the temptation to ask God to strike the man and his wife who have wronged you with severe suffering, loss of work, sickness, or harm to their hands, tongues, home, business and even their children. Yet as followers of Jesus we cannot pray in that way or ask God to bless such requests. Scripture forbids us to curse those who have wronged us or to desire the harm of their children. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He commands us to desire not the mutilation or destruction of our enemies, but their repentance and salvation. Our Lord teaches us to pray for those who mistreat us, that they may come to see their sin, turn from it, and make restitution. To ask for the tongue to be cut off or hands to be paralyzed or a house to be demolished or children to suffer in their education is not a prayer God calls us to pray, and it would bring further guilt rather than justice.

This does not mean God overlooks fraud. He is the righteous Judge, and He will do what is right. The delay you feel is real and painful, but His patience is not powerlessness and it is not approval of evil. His waiting is mercy, giving time for repentance, yet His justice is certain, both in this life and at the final judgment. Faith, as we are taught, needs a generous and vigorous soul that rises above what we see and feel and trusts God even when human reasoning says there is no hope. Faith is not measured by whether every request is answered at once or in the way we demand, but by holding fast to the character of God when circumstances press hard against us.

Honesty is still the right path, even when the dishonest seem to prosper for a time. The things the world calls goods, money, houses, land and gold, are not true goods if they are gained by grasping and lying. The possessor of such wealth is not good because of it. God enriches in a different way, and He calls His people to walk honestly even when it costs us, because honesty keeps our conscience clear before Him and bears witness to the truth in a world full of deceit.

God also ordains lawful means for justice. To seek the return of what is owed through proper legal channels, through honest documentation, counsel, and the authorities He has placed for the punishment of wrongdoing, is not a lack of faith. It is one of the ways God restrains evil in this age. We encourage you to continue to pursue what is rightfully yours through lawful, truthful and peaceful means, while refusing to repay lies with lies.

We will pray with you now according to what is right to ask:

We pray that the man and his wife would be convicted of their lies and cheating, that God would grant them repentance and that they would turn to Christ for salvation, which is through Jesus alone, and that as fruit of repentance they would return the full amount they owe with just recompense, without further deceit. We pray that God would give you wisdom and provision to manage the gold loan, to halt the growth of interest where possible, and to make a way for relief from this financial burden. We pray that God would guard your family from division, give you peace that guards your hearts, restore sleep, clear thought and unity, and keep you from despair and rash decisions.

For the other needs you shared, we pray that God would provide honest work for your family members according to their abilities, whether temporary or permanent, and that He would open doors for employment in a way that honors Him. We pray for the family member seeking marriage, that God would provide a godly bridegroom, a man of good character and no bad habits according to Scripture, who will enter a lifelong covenant of marriage as God designed it to be between one man and one woman, and that this would be in the Lord's time and will. We pray for the family member who has received an appointment in a government institution, that God would grant favor to join and to be relieved from the present hospital without loss or hindrance, so that he may serve well and glorify God there. We pray that God would enable you, as He provides, to help others through employment and education for the poor, as you have desired.

Do not let hope end today. Bring your anger and sorrow honestly to God, but ask Him to cleanse your heart of hatred and to fill you with trust in His perfect timing, which is not measured by a thousand years of waiting but by His wisdom and love. He is faithful, He is Judge and Provider, and He is powerful to act. Keep seeking Him, keep walking in honesty, keep using lawful means, and keep praying not for the destruction of others but for justice with mercy, for restitution, and for the salvation of all involved.
