Exodus 22:14 - If anything is borrowed, it should be paid back. If what is borrowed is lost or injured, full restitution must be made. Ps 37:21 - The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives. The Bible is clear that when something is borrowed is should be paid back.
Here are some suggestions: Express Your Feelings: Share how their failure to repay you has affected you emotionally. For example, ``I feel disappointed and stressed about the money you owe me.'' Be Direct but Respectful: Clearly state that you need the money back and explain why it's important to you.
Psalms 37:21-22 The Passion Translation (TPT)
They break their promises, borrowing money but never paying it back. The good man returns what he owes with some extra besides. YAHWEH's blessed ones receive the land, but the cursed ones will be cut off with nothing to show for themselves.
Father, I present my finances before You, and I pray for a financial miracle—an increase in wealth and a decrease in losses. I desire to let go of the stress and depression that a lack of money has caused me. Amen.”
Psalm 121:2 (NIV) – “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Proverbs 22:4 (KJV) – “By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.” Psalm 128:2 (NIV) – “You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.”
In the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6, this is encouraged in another way: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth [in the same way] as it is [being done right now] in heaven.” God delights to answer this prayer, and the results are stunning. It is the prayer that never fails.
Father, I confess you are a very present help in trouble, and you are more than enough. I confess, God, that you are able to make all grace – every favor and earthly blessing – come to me in abundance, so that I am always, and in all circumstances, furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
Romans 13:7 In-Context

Yes, you can sue someone who owes you money. When someone keeps "forgetting" to pay you or flat out refuses to pay up, the situation can quickly become frustrating. You can take the issue to small claims court and pursue legal action if it falls between the minimum and maximum money thresholds under court rules.
You might say to God: “Heavenly Father, I lift this person up to you and put this situation in your hands. Please give me wisdom. Please bless this person financially so they will never feel the need to borrow in the future.
Talk to them and explain carefully and calmly why you have not been able to make your payments on time. Make sure that you are very honest with them, because after all, they trusted you enough to lend you money. Apologise profusely.
Unless the matter also involves violence or an immediate threat there is really not much that the police can do for you if someone owes you money on a loan. More likely, the police will direct you to sue them in court, and depending on the amount you are owed you can file the lawsuit in small claims court.
ESV Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. NIV Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. NASB One who is gracious to a poor person lends to the Lord, And He will repay him for his good deed.
God said in Isaiah, “He will pay you back double for the unfair things that have happened.” If you're going to see double, you have to know that God is going to make it up to you. It may be unfair, but God is a just God. He saw what happened. He knows who hurt you, what you lost, what you're struggling with.
Romans 13:1–7 describes the responsibility for Christians to live in submission to the human authorities in government. The reason given is that every government leader has ultimately been established by God for His own purposes. Generally speaking, human government serves to rein in and punish those who do evil.
Psalm 112:3
“Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.” As I keep my eyes fixed on You, Lord, following Your precepts and all Your ways, all these things shall be added unto me. All for Your glory, Lord!
I thank You Lord that I don't have to figure out where the money is coming from because that's Your concern. I have released my Faith, now I shall receive my provision. I Thank You Lord that if my income is not enough to cover all my expenses then You will make up the difference.
Lord Jesus, I come before you, just as I am, I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In your Name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give you my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever.
Lord, have mercy is the most prayed prayer in the Bible. And get this: there is not one time in the Bible where God denies this request!
I pray to you as I am desperate for help. I need to know that you care, that you love me, be my refuge from pain, replacing my distress with peace, and be my strength when I feel weak and find it hard to carry on.
