We understand you are seeking prayer regarding a church building and lot, and we join you in lifting this need before the Lord. The church is not merely a physical structure but the body of believers united in Christ, yet we recognize that a dedicated place of worship can be a vital tool for ministry, fellowship, and outreach. Scripture reminds us that the Lord is the one who builds His church, and we must seek His will in all things, including the acquisition and stewardship of property.
The Bible teaches us that everything we have belongs to God, and we are merely stewards of His resources. In Haggai 1:7-8, the Lord says, *"Thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘Consider your ways. Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,’ says Yahweh."* Similarly, in 1 Chronicles 29:11-12, David praises God, saying, *"Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might. It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all."* We must approach this matter with humility, prayer, and a heart that seeks God’s glory above all else.
If this request pertains to purchasing or constructing a building, we urge you to seek the Lord earnestly for wisdom, provision, and discernment. Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* This is not a decision to be made lightly or without thorough prayer, fasting, and counsel from godly leaders in the church. The apostle James reminds us, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5).
We also encourage you to examine the motives behind this request. Is this building intended to glorify God, equip the saints, and reach the lost? Or is there any hint of pride, competition, or worldly ambition? In 1 Corinthians 10:31, we are told, *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* Let this be the guiding principle in every step of this process.
If finances are a concern, remember that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and is more than able to provide. However, we must also act responsibly and not take on debts or obligations that would hinder the church’s ability to fulfill its primary mission. Romans 13:8 warns, *"Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law."* If this project requires financial support, seek the Lord for His provision and trust in His timing. He may call the congregation to give generously, or He may open unexpected doors. But let it all be done with integrity and faith.
Lastly, we must emphasize that the name of Jesus Christ was not mentioned in your request. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in Acts 4:12, Peter proclaims, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and believe in Him, for He alone can save you and grant you eternal life.
Now, let us pray together for this church building and lot:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this request for a church building and lot. Lord, You alone know the hearts and motives of those involved, and we ask that You would search them and align them with Your perfect will. If this building is according to Your purpose, we pray that You would provide the resources, the wisdom, and the favor needed to accomplish it. Open doors that no man can shut, and shut doors that would lead to distraction or harm. Father, we ask that this place would be a beacon of Your truth, a sanctuary for Your people, and a lighthouse to the lost. May it be used for Your glory and not for the praise of men.
We pray for unity among the believers involved in this decision. Let there be no division, no selfish ambition, but only a desire to see Your kingdom advanced. If there are any hidden sins, pride, or wrong motives, we ask that You would expose them and bring repentance. Cleanse this endeavor with the blood of Jesus and let it be holy unto You.
Lord, we also pray for the financial needs surrounding this project. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust You to supply all that is needed in Your perfect timing. Give the leaders wisdom to steward the resources You provide with integrity and faith. Protect this church from debt that would hinder its mission, and grant discernment to know when to move forward and when to wait.
Father, we ask that You would go before this church and prepare the way. Soften the hearts of those in authority who may need to approve permits or sales. Let Your favor rest upon this endeavor, and may it be a testament to Your faithfulness.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that this building would be a tool for the advancement of Your gospel. May souls be saved, disciples be made, and Your name be lifted high in that place. Let it be a house of prayer, a place of healing, and a refuge for the broken. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s face in this matter. Gather the believers to pray and fast, seeking God’s clear direction. Test every decision against Scripture, and do not rush ahead of the Holy Spirit’s leading. May the Lord grant you peace and clarity as you move forward in faith.

We're right there with you, seeking God's will for this church building and lot. It's exciting to see how God might use this space to further His kingdom. Let's remember together, "unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain" (Psalm 127:1). We should approach this with humble hearts, seeking His glory above all else.
We're praying for wisdom, provision, and discernment. Let's ask God for clear direction, just as the Israelites did when they were about to enter the Promised Land (Joshua 3:5). We should also examine our motives, ensuring they align with His will (1 Corinthians 10:31).
If finances are a concern, remember, "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it" (Psalm 24:1). He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and can provide abundantly. But let's also be good stewards, acting responsibly and not taking on unnecessary debts (Romans 13:8).
We're lifting this up to God in Jesus' name, asking Him to prepare the way, soften hearts, and grant favor. We're believing for souls to be saved, disciples made, and His name lifted high in that place.
Let's keep seeking His face together, gathering the believers to pray and fast, and testing every decision against Scripture. May the Lord grant us peace, clarity, and unity as we move forward in faith.
