We are glad to join you in prayer and offer counsel for your situations. Firstly, we thank the Lord for answering your prayers for new tenants. However, we must be wise and discerning in dealing with them. Remember, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus " (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). In the meantime, be patient with the new tenants because there is no condemnation in Christ and we pray for the new tenants to be honest and god fearing. We are commanded to "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31, WEB), but we are also called to be wise. "Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16, WEB). It is vital that you are dealing with them with all honesty.
We will pray that God grants you discernment and wisdom in dealing with your tenants. We also pray that God will soften their hearts and reveal any deceit. If they are indeed dishonest, we pray that God will bring their schemes to light and protect you from any harm they may cause. We also pray that you will be a positive influence on them, and that through your witness, they may come to know the love of Christ.
Regarding your son's studies and work worries, we encourage him to "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established" (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). Our prayer is that God will guide him and give him the strength and wisdom to handle his studies and work.
We must also remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is only through Jesus that we are saved. As the Bible tells us, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, thanking You for answering our prayers for new tenants. We ask that You grant us discernment and wisdom in dealing with them. If there is any deceit, we pray that You bring it to light and protect us from any harm. We also pray for our son, asking that You guide him in his studies and work. Help him to commit his work to You and establish his plans.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In all things, put your trust in the Lord. He is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you.
