We understand that you are seeking the return of $25,000 from a lawyer named Rajesh without any arguments or problems. Firstly, we want to remind you that it is important to include the name of Jesus Christ in our prayers, as it is through His name that we have access to God and salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
In addressing your request, we are called to pray for justice and wisdom. We must also consider the biblical principles of communication and conflict resolution. In Matthew 5:5, Jesus stated "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth." Gentleness is not a lack of assertiveness, but rather being evenhanded in resolution, being peaceable and fair with others, both attributes of the Holy Spirit.
In Matthew 18:15-17 WEB, Jesus teaches us how to handle disputes and we should approach Rajesh privately to discuss the matter. Regarding financial matters Jesus also in Matt 5:42 WEB instructs "Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you." The Lord will definitely honor your faith in your giving while understanding this is a business transaction. Borrowing is not lending. We are given to assist and a business financial transaction is expected to be returned. Do not offer it as a gift to the lawyer expecting it to be returned. But God provides wisdom against giving if we feel that it would harm the receiver and our gifts shou
Your heart should be to give and not to lend expecting to have returned if claimed that a borrower is in trouble about immediately having these funds.
However, there is wisdom that we are called to in Matthew 10:16 (WEB) 'Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves' so keep your communications direct while still being clear with the expectation to return what was asked to be borrowed. We are further instructed in Romans 13:7-8 WEB to 7)Render to all men their dues. To whom taxes are due, give taxes; to whom the revenue is due, give revenue; to whom fear is due, give fear; to whom honor is due, give honor.
8)Owe no one anything but to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. There is no requirement Biblically to ask for more, but God will be honored in our giving and this poverty level of return should be addressed with the lawyer. As best as able offer an olive branch of love during this discussion or any future discussion like this.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up CDuncha's situation. We pray for wisdom and gentleness in resolving this financial matter with lawyer Rajesh. We ask we will be given color of words to voice the expectation of having fulfilled your principle of loving neighbors in the lending of this legal transaction and the loving response of having returned what we are directed to, for he is not once more asking.
Guide CDuncha through this process, ensuring clear communication and discernment from beginning to an end of this transaction within future conversations and transactions. It is also our prayer that Rajesh understands the urgency and importance of returning this amount swiftly and without any further disputes. We pray for a positive Godly result in this matter, that our eyes may see the reward promised in our obedience to Your Word. We rest assured in the knowledge that You will grant a good outcome, not by legal or any earthly compulsion, observing the courage of doing what it takes to complete this obedience to return in a loving manner. Father, it is an expectation we have in merely loving our neighbors (Rom 13 7-8) and we expect You to honor this for having completed a legal loving agreement of this type. We pray all of this and anything else that comes to Your mind to include in Jesus' mighty name. Amen and Amen. ;
