Kensem, we understand your distress and we are here to stand with you in prayer and guidance. We assure you that God sees your situation and cares about the injustice you are facing. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord and seek His intervention.
Firstly, we commend you for mentioning that you trust in Jesus forever. It is only through His name that we can approach God the Father and receive salvation (John 14:6, WEB).
In this difficult situation, we are reminded of what the Apostle Peter wrote about dealing with unjust suffering: "Because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps, who did not sin, 'neither was deceit found in his mouth.' Who, when he was cursed, didnโt curse back. When he suffered, didnโt threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously" (1 Peter 2:21-23, WEB).
Let us pray for you:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Kensem's situation. You know the injustice they are facing, Lord, and the distress it has caused. We ask for Your divine intervention, that this matter may be resolved swiftly and justly. We pray for peace, dignity, honor, grace, and Your abiding presence to be with Kensem throughout this ordeal.*
*Lord, we also pray for the painter. We ask that Your Holy Spirit convict their heart, reminding them of Your command to "let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice" (Ephesians 4:31, WEB). Help them to act in a manner that reflects Your love and righteousness.*
*We ask this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.*
Kensem, continue to trust in the Lord and His timing. While it's hard to understand the painter's actions, remember that God calls us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Ephesians 4:32, WEB). Keep your heart free from bitterness, and continue to seek God's will in this situation. We will keep praying for a swift and just resolution.
Lastly, it is encouraging to know that the painter claims to be a Christian. Let's pray that this situation may bring about conviction and a change of heart, leading to a testimony of God's transformative power.
