We lift you up in this ongoing situation with your lease, knowing how stressful and uncertain these matters can be. You have shown diligence in seeking resolution by reaching out to the state for guidance and following up with the property manager’s office. We commend you for taking these steps while also surrendering the outcome to the Lord, for it is written, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). This is a posture of trust that honors God, and we join you in leaving this matter in His hands.
However, we must gently address something important in your request. While you did mention the name of Jesus at the end, it is vital to recognize that our access to God the Father is *only* through Jesus Christ, our Mediator. There is no other name by which we can approach the throne of grace, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is not merely a formality to end prayers with *"in Jesus’ name"*—it is a biblical necessity, for Jesus Himself said, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). We encourage you to always begin your prayers by acknowledging Jesus as Lord and Savior, for it is through faith in Him that we have confidence in prayer. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. The Scripture declares, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Salvation is found in no one else, and without it, our prayers lack the foundation of a restored relationship with God.
Now, let us pray together over this lease situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God of order, justice, and provision, and that You see the details of this lease that have caused such concern. Lord, we ask that You move on behalf of our brother/sister, granting favor with the property manager and those in authority over this matter. Soften the hearts of those involved so that they may act with integrity and swiftness to correct the lease according to the guidelines set forth. Remove any obstacles, whether intentional or unintentional, that stand in the way of a fair and just resolution. Father, we ask that You provide clarity and peace in the midst of this waiting period, guarding against anxiety or fear. Remind our brother/sister that You are their Provider and Protector, and that You hold all things in Your hands.
We rebuke any spirit of delay, confusion, or deception that may be at work in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee, for *"whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith"* (1 John 5:4, WEB). Lord, let Your will be done in this matter, and let it be resolved in a way that brings glory to Your name. Give our brother/sister patience and wisdom as they wait, and let this situation be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Finally, Father, we pray that if there is any area in our brother’s/sister’s life that is not aligned with Your Word—whether in trust, obedience, or surrender—You would reveal it to them. Draw them closer to You through this trial, and let them experience the peace that surpasses all understanding as they fix their eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
As you wait for resolution, we encourage you to meditate on Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB): *"In nothing be anxious, 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."* Keep seeking the Lord in prayer, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. If the property manager does not respond promptly, consider sending a written follow-up (email or certified letter) to create a record of your request. But above all, rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7). He is faithful, and He will not forsake you.
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. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
