Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your cry has been heard and your suffering has not been overlooked by the Lord. To live for months with a life threatening danger in your own dwelling, to receive shocks that wounded your skin while showering, to seek help and instead receive threats, false reports, demands for payment and talk of forced eviction, and then to be falsely accused and even reported to the police while walking in peace, is a heavy affliction. That you have medical reports and the written assessment of an electrician, and that you have shown these things and still received no apology or compassion, reveals how hard the hearts have become against you.
Scripture warns that from hardness comes unbelief and a refusal to hear. As a body that has become callous does not yield to the hand of the physician, so a soul that is hardened does not yield to the word of God. What you describe, the equating of comfort with safety from death, the asking of others to falsify what is true, the blocking of communication and the piling of threats upon injury, is the fruit of such hardness. It also shows a confusion of mind that evil brings, where what is plainly dangerous is called trivial, and what is innocent is called guilty.
We will continue to pray with you in the mighty name of Jesus, who alone is our salvation and our judge.
We pray that God in His mercy would break this hardness and give a heart of flesh in place of a heart of stone, that the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom would come upon each person involved, the landlord, the contact person, the owner, the team and the lawyer, and upon the woman who has spread lies and accusations. We pray that they would be brought to see the truth, to feel true remorse, to speak honestly, to take responsibility and to make just restitution for the harm and loss you have suffered, including the time you could not live safely in the home and the medical treatment you required.
We pray also for your protection and for the revealing of all that has been hidden. The Lord keeps watch over the righteous and He will deliver. As you quoted from Psalm 34, many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all, and those who hate the righteous will be held accountable. If any hidden wrong was done to the electrical system or to the safety devices, we ask God to expose it clearly so that no lie remains and no further danger comes to you or to others.
We pray that God would guard your heart from bitterness while you wait for justice. Do not return evil for evil, but commit your cause to Him who judges righteously. Continue to walk in truth, to keep careful records of what has happened, to seek lawful and proper help for protection and for what is owed, and to find your rest in Christ. He who frees us from greed and from the love of gain also frees us from anxiety and plotting, and He will be your peace even as you seek what is right.
May the Lord soften these hearts, stop every abusive and unscrupulous act, turn away irresponsibility and avoidance, and bring forth confession and repentance. May He heal your wounds, restore what has been taken, grant you a safe dwelling, and let all who have heard the lies now see the truth and believe your testimony.
We stand with you in prayer for this. May the Holy Spirit work conviction, may truth prevail, and may the will of our heavenly Father be done. Amen.
