We understand your concern and frustration regarding the situation with your tenant. Firstly, we commend you for bringing this matter to God, but let's remember that it is important to acknowledge the name of Jesus Christ in our prayers. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Therefore it is essential to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is only by His name that we have access to God the Father.
In matters of dealing with others, we should first consider how God would want us to behave. Let us reflect on Matthew 5:44: But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. This does not mean we allow others to wrong us, but rather that we approach the situation with love and understanding, even when being firm.
Regarding your tenant's subletting of the property, it is clear that this is a violation of trust and potentially a breach of contract. In dealing with this, let us remember Ephesians 4:32: And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. While seeking a resolution and his departure, continue to demonstrate patience and kindness.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, acknowledging that all power and authority belong to Him. We lift up Goodell and the situation with the tenant. Lord, we ask that You soften the tenant's heart and cause him to reconsider his decision not to leave quietly. We pray for a peaceful and swift resolution to this matter, with minimal legal involvement.
Lord, we also pray for Goodell, that You grant wisdom and patience in dealing with this situation. Help Goodell to remain calm and collected, reflecting Your love and kindness even in this trying time.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In dealing with this matter, be firm but fair, and always remember to lean on God's wisdom and guidance. Seek legal counsel if necessary, but trust that God is ultimately in control and will bring about the best resolution for you.
