prayer (zacheus type restitution)

Please pray for Shelly to recieve me graciously as I ask forgiveness for wrongs I've done to her in the past. Please pray God will be with me and help me be a witness as I return money and some extra on top of what I owe, and we can reconcile. I did wrong her, I owed her rent money and skipped out (before I was a christian). I am sorry for this, and ask God to forgive me too. I do hope this meeting won't turn into a lawsuit. Please pray God will help us reconcile and all will be forgiven. Please pray God gives me wisdom, and makes sure I am paying back what is right. Thank you for your prayer support.

I will be praying, rocklife! Who knows, perhaps this may turn into a wonderful oppurtunity to witness for the Lord? :-) -ChrisJeremiah 29:11-13

Thank you for the prayer support. God is leading me to start returning more stolen monies back. He just started speaking this into me, especially from my bible studies and following the Holy Spirit. With all the prayer support I've gotten for Ms. Shelly, I am seeing she needs a little more time before God has me return her monies. He led me to return the money I had this time to some stores I had stolen from as a teenager first. I sent it through the mail, by God's grace. I am sorry I had stolen so much, and I am thankful God is gracious to forgive me, and even help me repay back.As God leads, according to His will, I will be returning more monies back to one more company (I believe that is all that's left, I think) and Ms. Shelly, please pray for me about this, and I will be returning restitution and also over and above what I stole, for hurting those people. I want to make things right, and please forgive me for doing this to you also, I know stealing from companies hurts everybody, I am sorry for doing such things. Please pray I will pay back more than enough for the wrongs I have committed. Dear God, please forgive me for stealing. Thank you for helping me repay back what I have stolen, please continue to guide me in this, making it right with others, as You provide. Thank you God, for helping me, and thank you for the Bible, which guides into all Truth and Righteousness. Please continue to guide me. Thank you for Jesus' payment for my sins. Help me to know Him more, and follow Him, to love You God wholeheartedly. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.

Praise God for a tender conscience and your submission to His will!I have been through this recently, making past wrongs right. Shortly after I was saved the Lord gently reminded me of some things I needed to set right, only in my case it was with the IRS. However, I procrastinated for almost a whole year before finally paying what I rightfully owed. I kept making excuses and telling myself that it was just the enemy who was trying to make me feel guilty over past sins. It would have been so easy to just let things go, the IRS didn't know anything about some income that I never reported, I didn't even have records myself, I ended up estimating the income that I didn't report. I was stubborn but thank God he gave me the grace to do the right thing, and I'm so glad. I now realize that the bad conscience I had while procrastinating was really hampering my spiritual growth. To anyone reading this, don't make the same mistake I did in procrastinating, a bad conscience isn't worth all the gold in Fort Knox.I am so glad to hear you are settings things right, a clear conscience is a blessed thing. We need to allow God to search our hearts and show us these areas we need to make right, and then follow his lead.
