We join with you in seeking the Lord's will in this matter and we are encouraged that you desire to pursue justice in a godly way and with integrity. The Lord loves truth and justice and He sees all that is done in secret and in the open. We hear your concern that documentation has been falsified and that an inflated amount is being claimed against you, and we understand your desire to present the true evidence from your vacancy lease and the landlord's own messages to refute what is false.
Scripture reminds us that God hates dishonesty and delights in truth, for Proverbs 12:22 says Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight. We are also called to seek justice with a pure heart, as Isaiah 1:17 says Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow. And Micah 6:8 says He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. Your effort to ensure that taxpayer funds are not paid out for a fraudulent amount and to submit clear evidence through the proper state process is consistent with acting justly and walking humbly before God and before the authorities He has placed over us.
We encourage you to continue in this same spirit of truthfulness, keeping all your words and evidence accurate and free from exaggeration, showing respect to the judge and to the agency even as you challenge what is false. We encourage you not to let bitterness take root from the hardship of being forced out of your job after many years of steady work, but to commit your cause fully to the Lord. Psalm 37:5-6 says Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noonday. And Romans 12:19 reminds us not to avenge ourselves but to give place to God's righteous judgment.
We pray together now in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father.
Father in heaven, we come before You in Jesus' name and we lift up this situation to Your throne of grace. You are the righteous Judge who judges with equity and You see every document, every text message, and every intention of the heart. We ask that You grant wisdom and discernment to the judge who will review this matter, that he would look at it from all angles with impartiality and understanding. We pray James 1:5 over him, that if he lacks wisdom he would ask of You who gives liberally. We ask that You bless the evidence that has been submitted, that the truth would be made clear and that what is false would be exposed and not prevail. Let the correct calculation according to the vacancy lease be recognized and let no inflated demand stand. We pray for Your peace to guard our dear one's heart while waiting, and for Your provision and vindication in Your perfect timing. Help us to trust not in our own ability to argue but in Your justice and mercy. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our advocate and redeemer, amen.
