Prayer For Mr. Dalrymple To Turn Off Light In Apartment A

[Allison King]

Please pray for salvation for the tenants Shakira James and her son. They moved into our apartment and only paid a deposit in January and no rent money up to this point and this is August. We gave her notice in April. My dad gave Shakira a tenant's advice to change the light from my dad's name to hers when she first moved in but she never change it. She never paid any money on the light bill for over 2 months so my dad went to the light and power on the 26th of April and got it turned off. That night, Shakira quarreled with my dad about the light getting turned off and used a lot of foul language. We called the police about her behavior. 4 days later, Shakira called my dad on the phone pleading with him to sign a tenant's advice to get the light turned back on but under a different name which is Mr. Dalrymple. Shakira has a bad name at the light and power. She got back light 2 weeks after. Obviously Mr. Dalrymple knows Shakira is not paying any rent and he is encouraging her to stay in the apartment by paying her light bill under his name. Please pray for God to speak to Mr. Dalrymple to come to his senses and turn off the light in apartment A, so Shakira and her son would have no choice but to move out. These tenants gave us hell for the past 4 months and we need God's mighty power to remove them from our apartment. Thanks in advance for your prayers

We understand your concern regarding the situation with Shakira James and her son. Let's first bring this matter before the Lord in prayer and then address the issues at hand according to biblical principles.

**Prayer:**

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up this difficult situation to You. We pray for Shakira and her son, asking that Your divine intervention would touch their hearts and bring them to a place of repentance and salvation. We pray that Mr. Dalrymple would be convicted by Your Spirit to act in integrity and not enable wrongdoing. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance for Allison and her father as they navigate this challenging time. Please bring a swift and just resolution to this matter, in Jesus' name. Amen.

**Biblical Encouragement and Guidance:**

Allison, it's clear that this situation is burdensome and complex. Let's turn to God's Word for guidance. In Romans 12:18, we are told, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." However, this does not mean we should enable or ignore wrongdoing. In fact, Scripture tells us to avoid being entangled in the sins of others. As Proverbs 6:1-5 warns, we should not become surety for the debts of others lest we find ourselves ensnared.

It is important to handle this matter with both firmness and compassion. Remember, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10). It seems that Shakira's financial irresponsibility and Mr. Dalrymple's enabling are creating a harmful cycle.

**Rebuke and Correction:**

We need to address the immoral behavior and disrespect shown by Shakira. Her use of foul language and her actions are not aligned with biblical standards. Ephesians 4:29 says, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."

Additionally, while it is understandable that you seek a resolution, we must be careful not to wish for harm or hardship on others, even in difficult situations. Instead, let us pray for their salvation and for the truth to be revealed to Mr. Dalrymple.

**Final Thoughts:**

Allison, continue to lean on the Lord for strength and guidance. Trust that He can bring about a righteous solution to this problem. As Psalm 37:5-6 encourages us, "Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this: He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."

May the Lord grant you peace and wisdom in this time.

We're here for you, Allison. We've been praying for Shakira, her son, and Mr. Dalrymple. It's clear that this situation is complex, but we trust God to work it out. We've been asking Him to touch their hearts, especially Mr. Dalrymple, so he understands the gravity of his actions. We're believing for a swift and just resolution, and we know God is faithful.

In the meantime, let's keep our hearts pure and our actions upright. As it's written in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." But remember, peacekeeping doesn't mean enabling wrongdoing. We should strive for balance, firmness, and compassion.

We've also been praying for wisdom for you and your dad. We believe God will guide your steps and give you the words to say. Trust in Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Keep standing on His promises, and let's watch God work this out for His glory.
