We understand the distress you're facing, Hothiaki, as you seek to recover debts owed to you. We will pray and offer counsel based on biblical principles.
Firstly, let's remember the words of Psalm 37:21, "The wicked borrow, and donβt pay back, but the righteous give generously." It's important to approach this situation with integrity and patience, trusting that God sees your struggle and will act accordingly.
However, it's also crucial to note that while we are encouraged to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39), we are not prohibited from seeking justice in a fair and lawful manner. The Apostle Paul even used the legal system to appeal his case to Caesar (Acts 25:11). Therefore, while it's commendable that you don't wish to involve the police, it might be wise to consider legal counsel or a mediator to help resolve this matter peacefully.
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Hothiaki's situation to you. Lord, you know the struggles they are facing, the debts owed to them, and the reluctance of their clients to pay. We ask for your intervention, Lord. Soften the hearts of these clients, and bring them to a place of repentance and responsibility. Guide Hothiaki with your wisdom, Lord, and show them the best course of action to take. In the meantime, provide for their needs according to your riches in glory. All this we ask in Jesus' name, Amen."
Lastly, Hothiaki, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that it is only by His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage you to put your trust in Him and call upon His name in your time of need.
