I am in a very difficult situation; i have a new roommate who has stolen a few things from me, also my wallet with all the money I had for the current month. I am not quite sure how I will make it till the next month, perhaps my mother will help me... Anyway, please pray that Yahweh would help me! Thank you...</font>
Polona,
We pray that you will find peace in your situation. We believe that Yahweh will provide for you what has been taken.
Remember:
Mat 5:39 but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
Mat 5:40 “And he who wishes to sue you and take away your inner garment, let him have your outer garment as well.
Mat 5:41 “And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Mat 5:42 “Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wishes to borrow from you, do not turn away.
Mat 5:43 “You heard that it was said,1 ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ Footnote: 1Hate your enemy was “said,” not “written.”
Mat 5:44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you,
Mat 5:45 so that you become sons of your Father in the heavens. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 6:35, Acts 14:16-17.
Mat 5:46 “For if you love those loving you, what reward have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too?
Mat 5:47 “And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more than others? Are the tax collectors not doing so too?
Mat 5:48 “Therefore, be perfect,1 as your Father in the heavens is perfect. Footnote: 1Ex. 17:1, Ps. 119:1, 1 John 2:5, Heb. 6:1.
Having said that I can't say whether you should keep or try to evict your roommate. Try to look at it as a chance to witness to your roommate, show them forgiveness (which you personally must decide what that includes) and we believe Yahweh will reward you. He could provide for you through your mom, the roommate giving things back, or some other way.
Shalom,
Naesimo
