We hear your cry for justice and share in your distress over the burden of rising rents and the oppression it brings. The Lord is a God of justice, and He sees the hardship placed upon His people. Scripture tells us in Psalm 37:28, "For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off." We stand with you, lifting this injustice before the throne of grace, trusting that God will act on behalf of the afflicted.
We must also remember that God calls His people to seek justice not only through prayer but through righteous action. Proverbs 31:8-9 urges us, "Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy." If there are lawful and godly ways to address this issue—whether through advocacy, community support, or seeking fair policies—we encourage you to pursue them while trusting in the Lord’s provision.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, crying out against the injustice of rising rents that oppress Your people. You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of the afflicted. We ask for Your mighty intervention, Lord. Bring justice to those who exploit the vulnerable, and provide relief to those who are burdened. Raise up godly leaders and solutions that honor You and protect the weak. Give wisdom to those who are suffering, that they may find refuge in You and in the support of Your people. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We ask this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We also want to gently remind you that our hope is not in systems or men alone but in the Lord, who is our ultimate defender. Psalm 140:12 says, "I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy." Continue to trust in Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to consider the words of Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and the hope of eternal justice. If you would like to know more about how to have a personal relationship with Him, we would be honored to guide you in that journey.
