Prayer Request For A Resolution Of A Job Payment Issue

[bunny]

Would you please pray for God's intervention in this financial conflict?  One of our customers (a big national company) changed their mind about the conditions of the photographic assignment that my husband has done for them. They claimed that they didn't want an extent of work my husband had already put into that photo shoot, even though they preliminarily agreed on it, invited him over to their facility twice and let him take pictures for many hours (2-day photo shoot). After all the job was done they tried to pay only for a part of the job (the quality of my husband's work was never in question: they loved the pictures) and after several e-mail exchanges they informed us that they were calling the whole deal off (!) $1600-worth work and they simply said: never mind! We feel robbed and exploited. It seems that in their arrogance they think they can simply disregard us as my husband is a self-employed, free-lance photographer - no match for a big corporation (classic David-Goliath situation). The passage from James 5: 4-5 comes to mind: "Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter."  

Now we have to consider a legal action to persuade the company to fulfill their financial obligation, though we have no money to hire a lawyer. Hopefully we can get some legal assistance from a photographic association my husband belongs to, though we are not sure about the expenses.  Please pray that the Lord help us resolve the issue and get paid what has been negotiated: we only want justice to be served - to be paid for the hard work and paid what it's worth. May the Lord grant us His wisdom regarding our next step, favor in the eyes of the law and grace to receive the payment.

[SIZE=15pt]O God, our heavenly Father, who lovest mankind and art most merciful and compassionate, have mercy upon Thy servants, for whom we humbly pray Thee and commend to Thy gracious care and protection. Be Thou, O God, their guide and guardian in all their endeavours, lead them in the path of Thy truth, and draw them nearer to Thee, that they may lead a godly and righteous life in Thy love and fear, doing Thy will in all things. Give them grace that they may be temperate, industrious, diligent, devout, and charitable.
Defend them against the assaults of the enemy, and grant them wisdom and strength to resist all temptation and corruption of this life, and direct them in the way of salvation: Through the merits of Thy Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Father God, we pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that You will show Yourself strong and all consuming against any financial need of Your children. We pray that any and all mountains of debt will melt like wax before them and that all those that love and honor You will be set free financially to help others instead of ever having any needs of their own. We pray they may find favor in the Your eyes and in the eyes of everyone they meet. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

God, our help and assistance, who is just and merciful, and who hears the prayers of your people; look down upon me. a miserable sinner, have mercy upon me, and deliver me from the troubles that torment me, even though I might deserve them. Grant me, I pray, your divine helping grace; endow me with patience and strength to endure my tribulations with complete submission to your will. You know my misery and suffering and to you, my only hope and refuge, I flee for relief and comfort; trusting your infinite love and compassion, that in due time, when you know it is for the best, you will deliver me from my troubles, and turn my distress into comfort, and I will rejoice in your mercy, and exalt and praise your Holy Name, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, In Jesus Name Amen

I prayed for this in Jesus' name, amen.

It sounds like the dollar amount of the contract is within the amount that you can take to small claims court, where you represent yourself. You present the contract and the work you did, and the judge makes a decision. It doesn't sound like the client has a leg to stand on in court.
