Prayer request

[Gideon_Narayanan]

We have paid a very huge lumsum amount to a person for House Lease. More than 18 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 pain over this heavy financial burden and the injustice you have suffered, and we join with you in bringing this matter before our Father in Jesus' name. We are thankful you have come to God through the name of Jesus, for there is no other way to the Father and no other name by which we are saved. As it is written, There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5 and In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. We cling to that name together with you, and we understand how the weight of a gold loan with rising interest, the broken promises, the repeated lies, and the strain upon your family has left you sleepless, anxious, and feeling that your hope and faith are fading.

We want to gently but firmly address what you have asked regarding punishment. Your hurt is real and God sees every lie and every act of dishonesty, for Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight Proverbs 12:22 and A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall not escape Proverbs 19:5. The Lord also says The wicked borrows, and does not pay back Psalm 37:21. Yet we must not pray for the mutilation of their bodies, the cutting off of tongues or hands, the paralysis, the destruction of their house, or the ruining of their children's education. The Scripture is clear that children shall not be punished for the sins of their parents, as The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father Ezekiel 18:20. And our Lord commands us, 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 are also warned, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21 and Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:31-32. To ask God to destroy innocent children or to inflict lifelong torture is not after the heart of Christ, and we must rebuke that desire and ask God to cleanse our hearts of it, lest bitterness take root and defile us Hebrews 12:15.

We also hear your cry, Why is God slow in acting, and we understand how delay can feel like abandonment. Scripture acknowledges this feeling, yet reminds us, 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 does not mean God does not see or does not care. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9. His patience is not approval of wickedness, and His justice is certain, for Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19, Deuteronomy 32:35. We are called to wait for Him and not to dictate to Him how and when He must punish. We can trust that God will bring justice in His perfect way, whether through conviction and repentance in this life or through His righteous judgment, and that He also ordains earthly authorities to punish wrongdoing, for the ruler is a servant of God to execute wrath on the wrongdoer Romans 13:4. This means we should also seek wise, lawful means where possible, with counsel, documentation, and proper authorities, while trusting God with the outcome.

Your feeling of losing hope and faith, and the thought why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished, is a temptation the psalmist knew well. Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass Psalm 37:1-2. Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him Psalm 37:7. God has not forgotten you. The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart Psalm 34:17-18. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7.

We pray together now for you and even for those who have wronged you.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and mediator. You see this family, You see the huge sum paid for the house lease, the gold loan and the crushing interest that grows day by day, the lies told to cover lies, the sleepless nights, the mental strain, the misunderstanding and burden within the family. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and provision. You have promised My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 and Seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you Matthew 6:33. We ask that You make a way for this debt to be relieved, that You move upon the heart of this man and his wife to return what they have taken, the full amount with rightful interest, without further deceit. Convict them of their sin, bring them to godly sorrow and repentance, that they may turn from cheating and lying and be saved, for You desire all to be saved and come to knowledge of the truth. Restrain them from cheating others again.

Lord, forgive us for any hatred or desire for cruel vengeance, cleanse our hearts and help us to not be overcome by evil but to overcome evil with good. Guard this family from bitterness, restore peace in their home, give wisdom for every decision, calm their anxious thoughts, and renew their faith and hope in You. Help them to trust that You are not slow but patient and perfectly just, and that You hear the cry of the oppressed. Lead them to wise counsel and lawful help, protect them from further harm, and let Your peace guard their hearts. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, believing that You hear us, amen.

We encourage you to hold fast to the Lord even in this dark valley, to continue to pour out your heart to Him honestly, to stay in His Word daily, to seek fellowship and prayer with mature believers who can stand with you, and to take careful, lawful steps to pursue what is owed without resorting to personal revenge. The Lord is faithful and His compassions do not fail, they are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness Lamentations 3:22-23. Do not let the enemy steal your faith through this trial, but let this trial refine your trust that God will act in His perfect time and that His justice and mercy will both be satisfied.

We hear how heavy this has been for you and your family. Waiting more than 18 months for a large sum to be returned, while gold loan interest keeps growing every day, would strain anyone. It makes sense that you feel sleepless, tense, and discouraged, and that there is friction at home. We are praying with you for relief and for a just resolution.

When money is owed and the other party will not respond honestly, it is right to seek lawful help alongside prayer. One steady next step we encourage is to gather every paper you have, the lease agreement, receipts, bank loan statements, and any messages, and take them to a trusted local legal aid clinic or attorney to ask what options exist for recovery, and to talk with your bank about the loan burden. Having clear counsel can ease some of the day to day pressure while you wait, and it protects you from carrying this alone. If you can, keep sharing openly within your family and with a pastor you trust, so decisions are not made in isolation when you are exhausted.

We do not know when or how God will act, but we do not believe He is indifferent to your honesty or your hardship. We are asking Him to sustain you in this waiting.

Father, we bring this family to You in Jesus name. You see the debt they carry and the strain on their home. Grant them wisdom for each conversation and decision, provision for what they owe, honest help from those in authority, and a return of what is rightfully theirs without further loss. Guard their health, their unity and their hope, and lead them step by step. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your sorrow has been poured out plainly before the Lord, and He who sees in secret has heard every word of your distress. The burden you carry is heavy, a gold loan with interest increasing day by day, a large sum entrusted for a house lease and not returned, and dealings with those who have hidden one lie with many lies. It is no small trial to feel pressed on every side, sleepless, anxious, and strained within your family, and to ask where justice is and why deliverance tarries.

You ask why God seems slow to act, and whether faith can stand when answers do not come as you desire. The Scripture meets this very question. Faith is not sight, nor is it the immediate possession of all we ask. As I have often taught, faith gives a substance to the things hoped for and makes Christ Himself real to the heart, more real than flesh and blood, a Person to lay hold upon, to taste and handle. You received Christ at the first as the only pillar of your hope, and so you must hold Him even to the last. Do not shift the ground of your hope from Christ to circumstances, nor the object of your faith from His person to the timing of His answers. When the children of Israel loathed the light bread though fed from heaven, it was because they sought variety rather than resting in what God had given. Keep Christ Himself as the substance of your faith, and though your prayers seem to rise into silence, your faith is still precious before Him.

You have said your hope and faith have fallen to nothing. Hear the word of the Lord by Isaiah, You are wearied in the length of your way, yet you did not say, There is no hope. And by Jeremiah, they said, There is no hope, but we will walk after our own devices. There is a hope which is no hope, a false confidence in our own way, and there is also a true hope which may feel as if there is no hope, yet it clings to Christ. Little faith is still true faith. Between the lowest degree of faith and unbelief there is a great gulf, but no gulf divides little faith from great faith. Little faith has only to travel along the royal road and it shall overtake its stronger brother. The least faith in Jesus is the gift of God and is like precious faith, though it is not like strong faith. If your faith trembles, if it is feeble and much afraid, it is still faith if it begins and ends with Jesus. He did not cast away the father who cried, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief, nor the woman who touched but the hem of His garment.

You have asked God to send severe and lasting punishments upon this man and his wife, upon their tongues and hands, their bodies and their children, their house and their livelihood, that they might be forced to repent. I must deal faithfully with you here, for faith and repentance are inseparable, yet they come together as a work of grace, not as the fruit of our curses. 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, and likewise a desire for vengeance that would destroy another is not the spirit of Christ. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay in perfect righteousness. We are commanded to take the shield of faith, by which we quench the fiery darts of the wicked one, not to hurl those darts ourselves. Faith holds up thoughts of the future and confidence of the reward that awaits the people of God, and enables the heart to esteem the reproach of Christ greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt. To pray for the cutting off of hands or tongues, for the ruin of children or the fall of a house, is to ask what love forbids. We may and must pray for justice, that what was taken be restored, that lies be exposed, that the oppressor cease to oppress, and we may pray earnestly that these souls, who are under the power of Satan as all unrepentant sinners are, may be brought to repentance and turn to God. But we leave the measure and manner of His dealings to His holy wisdom. The Lord is just and He is also merciful, and His judgments are not to be dictated by our anguish.

You ask on what ground the wicked will fear God if He does not punish at once, and why the honest should suffer while the deceiver prospers. This is an old perplexity, and the psalmist felt it when he saw the wicked spread like a green bay tree. Yet God has not said that honesty shall keep us from trial in this present world. He has said, My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Notice, it is His yoke and His burden, Christ Himself laid upon us by humble yet confident faith. When you come to Him and get rid of your old burden of sin, He puts upon you His burden, and you stay with Him and learn of Him till you prove that His yoke is easy. That does not mean the yoke of outward circumstances is always easy, but that to be with Christ, to be under His rule, to be quickened and guided and strengthened by Him, makes the soul able to bear what otherwise would crush it. Faith protects the heart when the arrow is aimed at conscience and when slander and loss assail you, for with confidence you have access to God and draw near to His mercy seat.

You ask whether you must seek justice through lawful means, whether to go to court, and whether that shows God to be powerless. It does not. God ordains lawful authorities for the punishment of wrong and the protection of the oppressed. To seek the return of what is owed through honest, lawful, and peaceable means is not a lack of faith but a right use of the means God has provided. Pray, and also act with prudence. Seek godly counsel, keep every record and receipt, and place the matter before those appointed to judge justly, committing the outcome to the Lord. Do not walk after your own devices in anger, but do not refuse the lawful path that may restrain further cheating of others.

For the other burdens you name, I will pray with you as Scripture warrants. For provision and daily bread, that God who knows your gold loan and your interest would open a way for honest repayment and relieve the strain upon your household. For employment, that He would provide work suited to your family members according to their gifts, whether temporary or permanent, and that He would guide them to labor with integrity. For the government post already offered, that every hindrance may be removed if it be His will, and that your loved one may serve there to glorify God and do good to others. For marriage, that God would provide, in His perfect time, a godly bridegroom of good habits according to the Bible, for a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that haste or anxiety would not lead you beyond His will. For your desire to help the poor with education and employment, that God would make you a channel of blessing as He enables you. In all these things we must take care that our faith is agreeable to God's Word, that we depend upon true and real promises, upon the sure word of testimony, and not upon the fictions and fancies and dreams of men. Above all, take the shield of faith.

You say God's time will be only after death and therefore of no use now. Yet God's time is not our time, and His delay is not denial nor unfaithfulness. He who waited while Noah built the ark, He who let Israel groan four hundred years in Egypt, is still perfect in timing. He sees the end from the beginning, and He works even in the waiting to purify faith, to teach prayer, to keep you from trusting in riches, and to make you prisoners of hope who turn again to the stronghold. The pit in which a prisoner lies may seem steep and without escape, but Christ has descended into the pit for His people and has paid all that was due, and He can bring forth the prisoner in His own hour.

Therefore do not say, Why should I be honest if the wicked are never punished. Honesty is not a policy for profit, it is the path of those who are the Lord's. One shall say, I am the Lord's, and that is hope of safety and of perfection, not because we are perfect, but because He holds us in His hands and none shall pluck us from His gracious grasp. Let your confession be personal and present, I am the Lord's, even in this night of weeping.

Let us pray together. O Lord our God, You are Judge and Provider, powerful and faithful. You see this family pressed by debt and by deceit, wearied in the length of the way. Have mercy and grant justice according to Your righteousness. Move, if it be Your will, the hearts of those who withhold what is not theirs, to speak truth and to restore what is owed with all that is just, without loss to these Your children. Restrain them from further fraud and bring them, we beseech You, to true repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, for faith and repentance come together by Your Spirit. Guard this family from bitter thoughts and from the temptation to curse. Lift the shield of faith over them, that they may be kept from despair and from wrong thinking and rash decisions. Give them sleep, give them peace, give them counsel, and give them daily bread. Provide work for those who need it, guide the one who seeks to enter new service, and order the future marriage according to Your holy covenant. Teach them to take Christ's yoke and to find His burden light, even while the outward burden is heavy. Increase their little faith, for even little faith is true faith when it clings to Jesus. Let them taste and handle Christ as real, and not shift the ground of their hope. In Jesus' name, who bore our burden to the cross and ever lives to intercede, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your long and painful burden has been heard, and we have brought your cry before the Lord with care and with sorrow for all that you and your family have endured these many months.

The weight of a large sum withheld, the growing interest on the gold loan, the sleepless nights and tension in the home, and the discovery that the same persons have deceived others, all of this is a heavy trial. It is understandable that your faith feels shaken and that you ask why justice seems delayed. Scripture itself gives voice to that question, yet it also calls us to keep faith as a firm foundation. Faith is not a feeling that rises and falls with circumstances, but the whole power on which the Christian life is built. When Peter stepped onto the water he stood while his faith was steadfast, and he began to sink when he doubted and looked at the wind. In the same way we are urged not to let doubt undo the foundation, even when the wind is boisterous around us. To be ten years in the faith and still to doubt its firmness is to be like a babe needing again the beginning, but the one who is grounded stands steady and is not moved about.

We also hear your deep desire for God to punish those who have lied and cheated you, even to the point of asking for lifelong physical and material afflictions upon them and their family. We cannot join you in asking God to cut off hands or tongues, to destroy health or education, or to bring ruin upon children. The Lord has said that vengeance belongs to Him, and He will repay, and He commands us not to repay evil for evil but to overcome evil with good. We can and do pray that God would bring conviction of sin, that He would restrain further deceit, that He would awaken a true fear of God and lead both the man and his wife to repentance and to restitution. We pray also that God would protect others from being cheated in the same way, and that lawful authorities would do their proper work.

God is not powerless, nor is He absent, nor is He unjust. His patience is not approval of wickedness, and His timing, though it often feels slow to us, is not neglect. He is the Judge who sees every lie and every dishonest gain, and He will do justice in His perfect way, both in this life as He governs and at the final judgment. That He waits to give space for repentance does not mean He approves the fraud. It is also right and not a lack of faith to seek justice through lawful means. Using the courts, keeping careful records, seeking wise legal counsel, and reporting fraud to the proper government departments are ways God has provided for justice to be pursued on earth. Faith does not require you to remain passive while wrong is done.

We are praying with you now in the name of Jesus, who alone is our Savior and our hope.

We ask the Lord to move the hearts of those who hold your money to return the full amount without loss and with the bank interest you have borne, and to do so quickly, that your gold loan burden may be lifted. We ask for wisdom and provision to meet each payment until that day, for peace and unity in your family where misunderstanding and anxiety have entered, for restful sleep and clarity of mind, and for deliverance from despair.

We bring before God the other needs you have named. We pray that He would open doors for permanent work according to qualifications for your family members, and provide for daily needs in the meantime. We pray for the family member seeking a godly marriage, that God would provide a faithful bridegroom of good character and habits, a man who walks according to Scripture, and that the marriage would be formed in purity and lifelong covenant as God designed. We pray for the family member who has received an appointment in a government institution of national importance, that God would remove hindrances, grant a smooth release from the present hospital without loss of salary or benefits, and enable service that glorifies God and cares well for patients. We pray for your desires to help provide employment and education for the poor, that God would give you means and opportunity to do good as He provides.

Do not think that honesty has been in vain. The life that is joined to faith is the life that pleases God, even when the dishonest seem to prosper for a season. The end of that path is not blessed, and the Lord honors those who walk uprightly before Him. Keep building on the foundation of faith, with a right life, asking God for a generous and vigorous soul that rises above what is seen and trusts His word more than the present wind.

We will continue to pray that God sustains your hope, strengthens your faith, provides for your needs, brings about what is just and right concerning this debt, and leads all involved to truth and repentance.
