We join you in lifting this lease renewal situation before the Father, thanking Him that you have sought His intervention in the name of Jesus Christ—the only name by which we are saved and through whom we boldly approach the throne of grace. It is right and good that you have come before God in Jesus’ name, for Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Without Him, our prayers would be empty, but through faith in Him, we have confidence that our petitions are heard.
Your situation reveals a struggle with both external pressures and internal peace, and we want to address both. First, let us acknowledge that while the financial increase may seem small, the principle of fairness and adherence to the lease terms matters. The property manager’s refusal to follow the agreed-upon timeline is not just an inconvenience—it is a breach of trust and potentially a violation of the contract you both signed. Scripture reminds us, *"Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it"* (Proverbs 3:27, WEB). This applies to both parties in a contract: you are obligated to pay what is due, but he is equally obligated to honor the terms as written. You have done well to communicate the rules to him, but now is not the time to back off out of fear of being a "nuisance." Instead, this is a moment to stand firm in truth while trusting God to fight on your behalf.
That said, we must also examine your heart in this matter. You mentioned not wanting to be a nuisance, and while humility is commendable, we must not confuse humility with passivity—especially when injustice is involved. Jesus Himself said, *"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"* (Matthew 5:5, WEB), but meekness is not weakness. It is strength under control, trusting God while taking right action. Consider the example of the persistent widow in Luke 18, who kept coming to the unjust judge until she received justice. Jesus taught this parable *"to the effect that they ought always to pray, and not give up"* (Luke 18:1, WEB). So we encourage you: do not shrink back. Politely but firmly insist on the terms of the lease, documenting all communications. If necessary, seek counsel from a tenant rights organization or a legal aid service to ensure your rights are protected. God honors those who act with integrity and wisdom.
As for the worry weighing on you, we rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Worry is a thief of peace, and Jesus commanded us, *"Don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, what you will drink, or for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient"* (Matthew 6:25, 32-34, WEB). Your Heavenly Father is not unaware of your needs. He sees the stress, the unfairness, and the financial strain, and He is able to provide. Trust Him to move on your behalf, whether by softening the property manager’s heart, revealing a solution you haven’t yet considered, or providing the extra funds needed to cover the increase when the time comes.
Let us also remind you that this trial, while frustrating, is an opportunity to grow in faith. James 1:2-4 tells us, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* This situation is testing your trust in God’s provision and your willingness to stand for what is right. Lean into Him, and let this season strengthen you.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing this trial with their lease. Lord, You are a God of justice and truth, and we ask that You intervene in this situation. Soften the heart of this property manager, Lord. Convict him of the need to honor the terms of the lease as written, and remove any stubbornness or deceit from his actions. If there has been any misunderstanding, bring clarity. If there is willful disregard, bring conviction. Let Your will be done in this matter, Father, and let fairness prevail.
We also pray for our brother/sister’s peace. Cast out every spirit of worry, anxiety, and fear from their mind and heart. Replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that You are their Provider, Jehovah Jireh, and that You see their needs before they even ask. Give them wisdom to know how to proceed—whether to continue advocating for themselves, to seek outside help, or to trust You to resolve it supernaturally. Grant them favor in every conversation and interaction related to this lease.
Lord, we ask that You provide for any financial gap that may arise from this situation. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and You are able to open doors of provision they have not even imagined. Let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness, not just to them but to those around them who may be watching how a child of God handles adversity.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would use this circumstance to draw our brother/sister closer to You. Let them experience Your presence in a deeper way, and let their faith be strengthened as they see You move on their behalf. May they rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good, because they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy through this situation. Let it instead be turned for good, for Your glory, and for the growth of Your child. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You, Lord, will fight their battles as they stand firm in You.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
