I must not panic but pray - prayers requested

About that lease.
The landlords told me the person
in the apartment
who gave written notice of her moving out as of TODAY
is now saying she wants to live there 6 more months.
My landlords cashed my deposit.

As mentioned,

I have yet to sign the lease.

I will be calling the appropriate legal channels in the morning.

If the landlords do not evict her,
then I do not have a place to live in two weeks.
I was supposed to have this apartment as of
this coming Friday.
Prayers Requested.

Rublev's Trinity


In Church I have learned of the horrors that Rublev (the Icon painter) lived through.
A world invaded, villages destroyed, immense cruelty.
In my reading, I have come across someone saying that this Icon is the one of the best arguments for revealing God's existence.
What inner spiritual riches Rublev shows
in the midst of what appeared to be a living hell
as it is often phrased today.
It is this understanding of the Trinity
of Christ being in our midst
that is needed.
Christ with us.
When I was overcome with sickness in the middle of the night
while talking to a dear brother
that I became aware of what it can be like
God suffering alongside.
God in the Trinity is with us.
