I had experienced a significant period of suffering when I had taken a loan from one of my close relatives. However, I had not been able to pay off the loan to my relative within the time specified by my relative. My relative had given me one month’s time of extension. Otherwise, he would take legal action against me because he needed his money urgently. However, there had not been any hope of paying off the loan within one month’s time. I had requested my relative to give me at least six months of time. However, my relative had disagreed and had only given me one month’s time. I had lost all hope. However, I had never stopped praying to Jesus. Every day of the month I had prayed to God for having sleepless nights because I had never wanted my relationship with my relative to become bitter. Three weeks had passed and I did not have much money to pay off my loan. I could not even pay off 50% of the loan. When one week of the month had been left, I had started saying a special prayer to bring about a change in the heart of my relative.
