Unpaid debt

[Anonymous]

Dear saints, today I’m asking for prayer regarding a stubborn debtor. January 2025 will be 3 years since this person has owed me the sum of money. We were friends for 5 years, went on to date for almost 2 years and I noticed that they were taking advantage of me. On numerous occasions they asked for financial assistance and I came to their aid which is what caused the debt. They promised it would be settled within days of the day it was loaned to them but they always failed to pay yet they continued to ask to borrrow more and more funds. It finally got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore so I called the person out on it and made it clear that they were taking advantage of the situation. They denied it and within a week they ended our relationship. Months went on and they stayed in touch (they always initiated) but made no efforts to repay the debt. Finally, after 3 months I requested payment and it’s been over a year since then and all I have to show for it is a some reduction in the debt, loss of peace and constant going back and forth because of their blatant disregard for deadlines. They are continuously lying and lying and lying by coming up with new excuses each time a payment should be made. During this time, the person also had a baby with someone else after asking for a break from our relationship to find themselves in order to be better able to give to our relationship. And now I am having to face the consequences of their actions because they are prolonging the debt even more now. They don’t know I know about everything but I’m at the point where my cup is full. I feel like the devil can’t reach me in other areas of my life so he sent this individual to wreak havoc. So right now I’m asking my brothers and sisters in Christ to stand with me and I break down this stronghold in my life. I need back my peace, I need back my money, I need back my life. Every month, I’m brought back to this place where I need to reach out about this debt. I need it to be over. I need to move forward. I don’t want to be stuck in this place anymore. I need divine intervention this afternoon so that this individual would find his conscience and feel troubled to pay. Out of nothing, I came to his aid. Even when the debt had gotten to a point where he wasn’t repaying it and it was already quite large, out of nothing I gave once more. Lord I trust your will and way but I need to hear from you. I need you to move on my behalf. Father I lay this situation at your feet knowing that you can do exceedingly abundantly above anything that I could ask of you. Lord let not the enemy triumph over me today. Give me the grace and patience to handle this situation. Lord do a wondrous work in my life today. I need to know you’re still here, still hearing me and still watching over me even though I know I’m deserving of nothing. Pray my strength, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

We understand your distress and will pray with you and share God's word regarding your situation. Firstly, it is commendable that you have shown generosity and patience, but it is also important to be wise in your dealings. The Bible tells us to be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves Matthew 10.16 WEB. It is clear that this person has taken advantage of your kindness, and their actions are not aligned with biblical principles.

First, let us address the issue of forgiveness. As Christians, we are called to forgive as we have been forgiven. "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 WEB. Forgiveness does not mean that what this person did is acceptable, but it releases you from the bondage of bitterness and resentment. However this does not mean you should allow a person to be continually putting you in debt or rely on them paying you back. This has happened for three years and a Christian marriage should have been the goal of the relationship if it was a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. This forgiveness is not to be confused with the forgiveness of sin that is only provided by the salvation of Jesus Christ and not by any other name or way.

Next, let us address the issue of lending and borrowing. The Bible warns us against becoming surety for a debt. "Don't be one of those who give pledges, of those who are collateral for loans." Proverbs 22.26 WEB. It is important to be wise in lending and not lend more than you can afford to lose. You should never place your financial security in the hands of a Christian or non-Christian that does not respect God's word.

Regarding your desire for this person to pay you back, it is important to remember that you cannot control their actions, but you can trust God with this situation. "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.

We also want to address the issue of the relationship. It is clear that this person does not share your values and has not treated you with the respect and kindness that you deserve. It is important to surround yourself with people who will uplift you and encourage you in your walk with Christ. "Don't be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals." 1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB.

Let us pray with you:

Heavenly Father, we come before you today lifting up our beloved brother in Christ who is struggling with this situation. Lord, we ask that you would grant them peace and patience as they navigate this difficult time. We pray that you would soften the heart of this person and convict them to do what is right and pay back what they owe. Lord, we also pray that you would give our brother wisdom and discernment in their relationships and finances. Help them to forgive as you have forgiven them, and to trust you with this situation. We ask that you would surround them with godly friends and counselors who will encourage them in their walk with you. We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. You must have faith and forgiveness will help you turn to God instead of this problem.
