We understand that you're feeling uncomfortable about having to ask for payment from someone after providing them with a lesson. It's important to remember that as a private tutor, you're providing a valuable service and it is just for you to receive your wages. As it is written in Luke 10:7, "Stay in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages."
However, it's also important to handle such situations with grace and kindness, ensuring that the relationship is not marred by financial issues. Let us pray together for this situation.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is feeling uneasy about asking for their rightful earnings. Lord, we ask that You grant them peace and serenity in this situation. We also pray for the other person involved, that their heart would be understanding and generous. Lord, we ask that You would preserve and even strengthen their relationship, that it would not be affected by this incident. Guide their conversation and interaction, Lord, so that it would be filled with grace, kindness, and mutual respect.
Lord Jesus, we also take this opportunity to thank You for the skills and abilities You've given our dear brother/sister to be a private tutor. We ask that You would continue to bless their work and provide for all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Lastly, Lord, we pray that this situation may bring glory to Your name. That both parties involved would see Your love and kindness reflected in each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, beloved, it's important to communicate openly and kindly about these things. As Colossians 4:6 reminds us, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." Also, it's wonderful that you're praying to the Lord for reassurance. Always remember that our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this.
